RIVERSIDE STOCK FARM.
Comparatively few people; even
those living as near to it as residents
of Tionesta; are aware that what
will soon be one of the greatest stock
farms in this country is situated with
in a few miles of our town. Hut
inch i, , fact ,ni tbe reasno it in not
more generally known is that it hns
had its growth within fonr years and
ih as yet, just begun. About eight
years ago Colonel John J. Carter, the
wealthy oil producer of Tiluiville,
came into possession of the property
at that time occupied by the late
Garson Shamburg and known as the
old "Green Farm." The portion of
(he property upou which tbe manor
house is situateJ ia on the flats about
a mile below West Hickory villiage.
To the original purchase Col. Carter
has beeu adding from time to lime
until at present he bas a solid body
of land about ono and one half by
six miles io txtent and containing
not less than six thousaud acres.
For the first four years lhat the Col-
onel owned this property, nothing

At the invitation
of Mr. Li. J. Paul, tbe manager; a
representative of tho Republican
visited tbe bit; farm one day this
week, and was shown over the place
A start was made at tbe small horse
barn, which was one of tbe original
buildings on the place. Here is
housed the four work teems ; all fioe
animals of the percheron or clydes
dale breed. There is so much work
fur horses to do on the farm at this
time, that their own supply of teanis
is insufficient and teams from off tbe
place are hired to keep up with the
pressing work. From the horse burn
to the Cattle baro is but a step and
here was seen the pride of the farm ;
the beautiful percheron stallion,
"French Lion Jr.," he is a noble ani
mal, 5 yeats old, weighs about 1600
pounds and is very gentle and kind.
He is au excellent roadster. Passitig
through the basement of tbe barn, we
saw many other flue burses, Carriage
as well as draft, but space does nut
permit a more particular mention.
On the other Bide were seen several
specimens of the Aberdeen Angus
cattle, of which Mr. Carter is making
a specialty. They are the hornless
cattle and are valuable particularly
for beef. We were informed by Mr
Paul that a carload from the west was
a short time ago seut to Chicago, in
a train containing cars of other
breeds, but tbat $1.25 per hundred
weight more, was received for this
breed than for aoy other. They are
all meat and of a superior flavor and
ia the words of Mr. Paul "you can
cut beefsteak dowu to tbe knee joint,
ou them." Holsteio cattle are also
kept on the farm for milking pur
poses. A. visit to the piggery wus
next made and as it was just at meal
time, the squabbling and squealing
and tumbling over one another that
was iudulged in by the seventy-five
occupants or the dozen or more
houses would have done credit to
Democratic Countv Convention.

were of all sizes, from the "cutest lit
(e black and white fellow not larger
than a guinea-pig, to tbe grandfather
porker, who tips the beam at 500
pouuda. Beyond this io tho pasture
field, were seen more cattle; Angus
Holstein aud Durham. Tho mother
of the Angus bull Mr. Carter
breeding from, took the first prize at
the Worlds Fair. The bull, as are
all of the breeding animals, is regis
tered. Back to the big barn Mr,
Paul led the way and io the 6ecoui:
story was found everything in the
way of improved farm implements
here also are the rat proof graueries
aud the engiue tbat runs the different
machines stationed iu the baru
among which is a mill lhat grinds all
of the teed used ou tbe place. The
power is furnished by a boiler situat
ed outside, which with the tbe engine

by a waler motor, turned by water
from West Hickory creek, which has
its course quite near the farm. I
the barnyard was a pile of wire for
fencing that would reach from Tio
nesta to Oil City; that is to be used
io enclusiug a little pasture lot that
will have ao unbroken feuce five
miles long, wheu it is completed
But a word about the tnagnificeut
barn. It is 116 feet long by 50 wide
aud three stories high, and built
the very best manner. Tbe basement
will be used entirely for cattle and
large new horse baru is to be erectei
Tbe chicken houses, ice house, are
and milk house and meat bouse are.
like everything else on the place;
built of the best material, and re
gardless of expense. Tbe last place
visited, was the sheep pens where
were seen the 300 lbs. Sluop shireram
and his mate; imported from England,
where they are registered, as well as
in this country. The buck and ewe
each took flrd prize at the World's
Fair, and as the ones ihut took 1st
and 2nd prize were from Canada;
this is the finest Slinpshire ram iu the
United States. There were about 30
head in the flock. After tbe sheen,
naturally came the dogs, and there
are two as flue specimens of the mag
nificent St. Bernard animals as were
ever seen. Timid visitors will be
startled by their vociferous greeting,
but they ate gentle. Mr. Carter's
primary object io this fine estate is
the pleasure it affords him and inci
dentally, profit. He is a believer in
improvement and to make it
possible for every oue to avail them
selves of his fine breeding animals;
be has put the price for service as
low as is asked for common stoA ;
which is a matter for congratulation
for all who may wish to breed better
stock. Mr. Paul has had the man
agement of the place for the past
three years, and haB accomplished
an immense amount of work in clear
ing, draining and fence building. He
has 14 men at work trnw, and as they
are employed at different points on
the farm ; he is iu the saddle nearly
all of each day. About 46 acres of
oats have been sowed aud work upon
the corn ground is iu progress. It
is the policy upou the farm to raise
all that is consumed. Forest County
is to he congratulated upon the pos
session of this great enterprise and
that it is in the hands of a man so
able to make it what it undoubtedly
will some time be; one of the finest
6tnck furms in America.
