SHORTHORN BREEDERS. 357 



State. Fourteen years ago we organized a Northeastern Indiana Association. At 

 that time there was not a single pedigree bull in that county. After we commenced 

 holding fairs, a man come from another section of country and showed some fiae 

 cattle, and many of our people were induced to buy. A few years ago a herd of 

 thirty cattle were brought into our county from Kentucky, represented to have fine 

 pedigrees, and quite a number were induced to buy them, and within a year it was 

 found to be a fraud. One of our farmers bought one, and paid $1,000 for it. It 

 placed the Shorthorn men in rather bad repute. There ai-e a number of as fine 

 herds in Northern Indiana as can be found in the State. There are now two or 

 thi-ee hundred good Shorthorn cattle in our part of the country. If you could get 

 all your cattle men together, representing different breeds, it would be better for 

 all concerned. It is an admitted fact that there are more of the Shorthorn breed 

 in Indiana than any other. As far as I am concerned, I have not raised any other. 

 Cotfvention adjourned sine die.
