884 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



aid 59th comes from the mating that produced the 

 second-prize cow in this company. She is a year 

 younger, carries much scale, a fine back and great 

 hind-quarters. 



"The Two-Year-Olds. 1, Amelia; sire, Premier; 

 0. Harris. 2, Heliotrope; sire, Princeps; Steele Bros. 



3, Twila; sire, March On 6th; James A. Funkhouser. 



4, Domestic; sire, Princeps; Steele Bros. 5, Belle 

 Donald 60th; sire, Beau Donald; W. H. Curtice. 6, 

 Cleo March On; sire, March On; W. S. VanNatta & 

 Son. 7, Belle Donald 61st; sire, Beau Donald; W. H. 

 Curtice. 



i i A marvel of a middle is carried by Amelia. Her 

 head is delightful in its femininity, her spread of 

 back is tremendous, its covering deep, but she fails a 

 little at the tail. Heliotrope is a bit higher on the leg, 

 a heifer of ample scale, grand top, neat brisket, well 

 finished hind end and strong thighs. Twila is darker 

 in coat and nearer the ground, with big middle, a rib 

 that is arched to carry weight, a well finished head 

 and horn, but not so neat in the hooks or the rump 

 as Heliotrope. Domestic is a bit smaller than her 

 stable-mate Heliotrope, more compact in form, of 

 admirable outlines, plenty of mellow flesh and a 

 drooping horn. Belle Donald 60th and Belle Donald 

 61st are an impressive pair, both of size and sub- 

 stance, the former smooth-fronted and square-fin- 

 ished behind, broad of loin but a trifle light of 

 thigh, the latter dark in coat, broad of loin and like- 

 wise wide of hips, and heavily fleshed. Cleo March 

 On is a heifer of remarkable width of carcass and 

 depth, one of the largest-middled heifers that the 

 breed has shown us. 



"Senior Yearlings. 1, Arminta 4th; sire, Prem- 

 ier; 0. Harris. 2, Iva 4th; sire, Benjamin Wilton; 0. 

 Harris. 3, Ravilla; sire, Hesiod 2d; James A. Funk- 

 houser. 4, Belle Donald 74th ; sire, Beau Donald ; W.
