It is pumped by an oil engine into a tank of 125,000 gallons capacity and tin n pined to tiie paddocks, much the same as on breeding farms in this country which have no brooks coursing through them. Lord Carnarvons young horses are broken at the farm in the fall of their lirsl yuar and sent in January ot their second year to Whntcossbe to be trained.
