Every Shorthorn catalogued was sold, and while the prices were only lair, 

 the dispersion of the animals will be of great benefit to the localities where 

 they go. Not an animal among them but will return a good percentage on 

 the money invested in it if only given a fair chance. Tlie total amount 

 received for Shorthorns was $2,925, an average of $112.50 for the twenty-sb;; 

 head sold, including calves, heifers and cows, and when the season is consid- 

 ered, it may be put down as a successful sale. We feel satisfied tlie stock will 

 do credit to the college, and bring into notice the very fine herd that is being 

 built up there.
