Besides there are horses from leading livery stables, breweries, trucking concerns, whole- sale and business houses. On the farm are produced hay, corn, carrots, sorghum and other vegetables. Horses are supplied liberally when the occasion calls for it. The canal supplies the best of fresh water for man and beast, and the irrigation system for the entire farm. To the west of the property the lands are tilled which ac- counts for the entire absence of mosquitos and flies. Small steamers and schooners are enabled to reach the barns with horses or other supplies. Diseased horses are not received under any circumstances. Nature has provided knolls in the various enclosures, where horses may rest, and when in need of gentle exercise, there is a swimming spot in the canal for that purpose. There is a well appointed new residence on the property where the Superintendent and his family reside, and com- munication by telephone may be had with the farm at any time. D. M.
