This farm se-! lected Axtellion 1:15$ by Axtell 2:121 (3). To demonstrate to you that they I made no mistake in their selection we need only refer you to their consign- ! ment to the Chicago horse sale last week where they sold forty head for; an average of $385 per head, and not; one of these colts had a public record. < The fact they were from the loins of , three of the greatest stallions of the land, Patchen Wilkes, Onward and : Axtell Mas enough to assure any horseman that he was getting the worth of his money.
