HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



stakes for the best thoroughbred herd, Ihe best 

 bull of any age or breed, and the grand $100 

 sweepstakes for the best bull of beef breeds, 

 against all competition at both fairs. 



"In this triumph Mr. Campbell laid out C. A. 

 Betz's Shorthorn prize bull, which had never 

 been beaten before, and had been ruled out of 

 competition of other associations, because of its 

 supposed overpowering superiority to all ani- 

 mals of that class." 



I have just bought two more ranches, cattle 

 ranges, etc., and have not time to write more. 

 Respectfully yours, 



W. E. CAMPBELL. 

 Caldwell, Kan., Sept. 27, 1882. 



P. S. "The Equinox" was never stabled 

 twenty-four hours all summer, but ran in the 

 pasture with the cows the entire season and was 

 only stabled nights.
