THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE, 



THE SALE OF SHORTHORNS AT COR- 

 BOLLIS, CO, LOUTH. 



The sale of Mr. Lee Norman's herd, which was conducted 

 by Mr. Strafford, took place on Thursday, July 19th. The 

 attendance was very good, but the unfavourable nature of the 

 weather, which at one time caused an adjournment, was much 

 against the day's proceedings. 



The sale commenced in the following order :—

Messrs. Bobinsoa and Howard have hired Mr. Barnes's 

 Duke of Leiuster. He leaves Moynalty this day for Olney, 

 Bucks. This is another instance of the preference given by 

 Englishmen to carefully selected and well bred Irish short- 

 horns. The Duke is a magni&ceut animal, and will, we are 

 confident, maintain his illustrious name with honour to hit 

 country.— Jrt>/j Farmen' Gazette, 



THE SALE OF SHORTHORNS AT KINGS- 

 FORT, CO. MEATH. 



This sale took place on Wednesday, the 18th July. A large 

 number of visitors were drawn together. Well did the 

 herd stand the test, and sustain the long-establiahed repu- 

 tation which Mr. Chaloner has earned as a shorthorn breeder. 

 Another point was also very clearly brought out, to wit, the 

 great value set upon the " Booth strain " in this country. So 

 much so was this the case that throughout the entire cata- 

 logue the greater number of "Booth" crosses which the 

 pedigrees exhibited, go roueh, the more wm the respectire 



values of the animals enhanced. This was shown especially 

 in the case of " Miss Warlaby," her yearling son " Sheet 

 Anchor," and her nine weeks old calf "May Queen;" the 

 prices paid for the three amounting to £929 5s. ; although 

 " Miss Warlaby " completed on the day of sale her eighth 

 year. 



It will be observed that none of the cattle sold at Mr. 

 Bolden'a sale, reported in our last impression from the Mark' 

 Lane Express, reached the prices obtained at Kingsfort. 



From the time when Mr. Strafford mounted the rostrum, 

 and the appearance in the ring of " Lady Fanny," until the 

 termination of the sale, the biddings were remarkably steady 

 and regular. There was no persuasion required; people 

 appeared to have their minds quite made up, and everything 

 went on " like clock-work." 



The following is a list of the animals, the respective pur- 

 chasers, and the prices obtained : —
