Great Sale of Superior Thorough-bred Short- 

 Horn Cattle. 



THE subscriber will offer for sale his entire herd of choice 

 Sliiirl-llorns, ciimpri-Jiii; 50 heail, young; and old, at public 

 auction, cm WeilucMlav, the l;ith of October, 185'-', at 1 

 o'clock I'. M., at his farm, iX niiles from the city of Troy ; 

 roaerving to himself one bid on 5 cows and heifers and one 

 bull, say six head in all. and these to be pointed out previ- 

 ous to the commencement of the sale. This bid will be 

 made public when the six animals are brought to the stand 

 for sale. Slimld any fcentlemen advance on the single hid 

 made by the |iroprietor. the highest bidder will be entilU'd 

 to the animal. It is |)roper to say, the severe drouth in this 

 vicinity reducing the hay crop one half, has decided the 

 proprietor to make this side at the time named, instead of 

 next June, which he had purposed to do. 



The well estubli^lud n-pulation of this herd in this Union, 

 and in Canada, and the splendid herd it has measurably 

 spnmg from, viz : the famed herd of that eminent English 

 breeder, the late Thomas Bates, Esq., renders it h.-irdly 

 necessary to comment upon its superior merits. It may not 

 however be inappropriate to remark, that the establish- 

 ment of tills herd was commenced in 183S, and that the 

 most careful attention has since been paid to its breeding, 

 and that it now contains mostly all the reserved stock of 

 two former public sales. Since 1S40, the proprietor has 

 imported Irom the late Mr. Bates, and his friends and late 

 tenants the Messrs. Bell's, 7 head of Short-Horns. And be- 

 sides these, he has now on the passage across the Atlantic, 

 shipped '21st dune, on board the packet ship Kossuth, Capt. 

 Jas. B. Bell, a superior yearling roan bull, having many 

 crosses of the famed Duchess bulls of Mr. Bates, Including 

 this latter animal and the two beautiful red roan 3 year old 

 heifers which came out from England last September, 

 " Yarm Lass" and " Yorkshire Countess" and the beautiful 

 heifer calf of the latter animal, got in England by the 

 Duchess bull " 5th Duke of York," there will be 14 head of 

 this imported stock, and its immediate descendents. There 

 has been sold from this herd but 3 heifers from these impor- 

 tations, and these cows were sold at $300 each. All tlio 

 young bulls bred from these cows, except those now offered 

 for sale, have also been sold at private sale, at $300 each, 

 most of them while quite young. 



Besides these 14 head of high bred animals, the noble 

 premium cow "Esterville 3d," bred byE. P. Prentice, Esq., 

 of Albany, and her equally fine 2 year old, red and white 

 heifer bred by me, got by the Bates bull " Meteor," and 3 

 of the famed milking Willey tribe, the same tribe of cows 

 as the heifer " Ruby," sold by me to Mr. S. P. Chapman, of 

 Madison county, arid which cow was awarded the first pre- 

 mium by the N. Y. State Ag. Society, for producing the 

 largest quantity of butter in ten days in June and ten days 

 in August, on grass pasture only, being a fraction over 40 

 lbs. in those 20 days. There are other valuable tribes in 

 the herd, as the printed catalogue will show. 



The catalogue will be ready for distribution about the 1st 

 of August, and will exhibit richness of pedigrees rarely to 

 be met with, showing the descent of the most of the ani- 

 mals from the best animals on record in the English herd 

 book. Having received an invitation from H. Strafford, 

 last winter, to forward a list of the pedigrees of my herd, to 

 be inserted in the forthcoming volumes of the English herd 

 book of which ^Ir. Strafford is now the editor, several pedi- 

 grees were sent to him of the animals here offered for sale, 

 and will appear in said book. Gentlemen are invited to 

 examine the herd at any time. 



A credit of 9 months will be given on all sums np to $300, 

 and 9 and IS months on all sums over $300, for f.pi)roved 

 paper, with interest, pavable at some bank in this State.
