240 AT THE SIGN OF THE STOCK YARD INN 



production of the big, broad-ribbed, heavy-hammed, 

 deep-sided, mellow-fleshed, early-maturing and finely- 

 finished Berkshire hog by the concentration of the 

 blood of old Longfellow and other porcine celebrities, 

 will, when written, prove to be worthy of ranking 

 with the best achievements of brainy men in other 

 realms of stock-breeding. Here again the BAKEWELL 

 scheme in the hands of a master in its application 

 proved the touchstone of a triumphant success. 



The Hereford is playing such a stellar role in 

 the range cattle business in North America that it 

 is high time that this fact find more adequate 

 recognition in our embryonic national gallery. In my 

 judgment there could be no greater service rendered 

 those who are perpetuating the great Hereford- 

 shire grazing breed than the immediate authorization 

 of portraits of BEN TOMKINS, JOHN PRICE of Ryall, 

 the HEWERS, MONKHOUSE, ROGERS, TUDGE, TURNER, 

 His Grace of COVENTRY, ARKWRIGHT, and other Here- 

 ford fathers. And when we recall the wonderful 

 work done in our own middle west by GULBERTSON, 

 GUDGELL and SIMPSON, FUNKHOUSER, ADAMS EARL, 

 CHARLES B. STUART, and their contemporaries and 

 successors, it is self-evident that a grand Hereford 

 room is to be one of the inspiring features of the 

 SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB of our imagination!
