A BIG HORSE RANCH.

Winamac Republican: Most people in speaking of the various business enterprises of the county fail to mention McDonnell’s horse ranch over in the northwestern part of this county. The omission arises from the fact that they do not know that there is such an establishment in the county. The ranch was started just about a year ago and is devoted to the breeding and growing of coach and heavy draft horses. At present there are sixty-eight head of fine horses on the farm of various ages. The ranch consists of what was formerly known as the Cole and Pingle farms up in the Blue Sea region four miles north and east of Medaryville and numbers 481 acres. It is under the control of Albert Dunn, formerly an enterprising farmer over in Jaf r county. Mr' McDonnell, the owner of the business, had interne J _ first to purchase all the grain n ut hay used, but, Mr. Dunn soon con vinced him tin re would be no pr: fit in that and he consented to i i 'V. li d ..ml _tv CrujJ. > . > ’* ;Li tut 1 ing of suihcic... ito ea tjie ranch through .. u >r year and to put it on a paying basis. 10 per cent, discount on all fur Collarettes, and 50 per cent, discount on Jackets and Capes.
