Empress, and the second highest, $8,900, for Bright 

 Saxon. For Bright Spangle he paid $6,300. Riby 

 Marchioness went to Ireland at $7,530, and the 

 beautiful Highland Flower to Rev. T. STANIFORTH 

 at $8,960. The top for bulls was $4,185, reached 

 three times, Riby Knight going at that figure to 

 New Zealand. The 22 Annas averaged $4,180 

 each, and 21 Waterloos made but $1,275 each. 

 No such sale of cattle of one man's own produc- 

 tion is on record. The point is, that a tenant 

 farmer by devoting thirty years to a single purpose 

 bred up a herd that was appraised at public vendue 

 at nearly $250,000! 



What HAS been done CAN be done again. His- 

 tory repeats.
