A Western District Farm.

Mr. A. J. Simpson has established a Shorthorn stud farm on the 

 Grange at the junction with the Muddy Creek, where he has been 

 settled for twenty years. The wonderful quality of his stock speaks 

 well for his judgment of land as well as of animals. The " Clifton " 

 Estate comprises some 1,700 acres of land, and the accompanying 

 illustrations give some idea of superior skill in the management of it.

The first illustration shows a striking picture of a red and white 

 two-year-old Shorthorn bull. Grand Duke of Clifton 5th. His grand- 

 dams were Bolinda Duchess of Derrimut 404th and Bolinda Duchess 

 of Derrimut 400th, and both of them were by the same sire, Bolinda 

 Duke of Derrimut 208th. 



The white bull in illustration ISTo. 2 is a very fine specimen of his 

 breed, and was a little over ten months old when this picture was taken.
