Sale of Short Horned CatlJe. 



In consequence of becoming over-stocked, I will offer for 

 sale, at Auction, at my residence in the town of Auburn, on 

 Wednesday, the 8ih day of September next, forty htad of 

 thorough b-red Short Horned Cattle — consisting of about thir- 

 ty Cows and Heifers, and ten young Bulls. I shall select 

 from my whole herd one Bull, " Symmetry," two Cows, 

 and two Heifers, which I shall not offer for sale. The bal- 

 ance, being about forty, will be sold without reserve. 



The original cows of this herd were sekcted from the best 

 of the herds of the late Patuoon Van Renssjelaer, J^'ran- 

 ois KoTCH, and L. F. Allkn, E.'-qa., who.-e reputation as 

 breeders ef fine sto<^k requires no eulogy from me. The 

 younger stock were bred with much cjre from my Bulls 

 Archer and Symmetry, both of wliich have received the 

 prize as tlie best Bull at the Exhibitions of the l\ew York 

 State Agricultural Society. Archer was bred by Francis 

 RoTCH, Esq., out of his famous imported cow " Adaliza," 

 and got by " Rolla," (see Coats' Herd Book, No. 499!.)— 

 Symmetry was bred by Geo. Vail, Esq., of Troy, out of 

 his Cow Dutchess, and got by his Duke of Wellington, (see 

 Coat's Herd Book, No. o6j4, or American Herd Book, iNo. 

 55,) both of which he imported from the herd of Thomas 

 Bates, Esq., of Yorkshire, England. Full pedigrees of all 

 the Cattle will be printed and ready by (he 1st of July. — 

 They can he had by ai)plying to A. B. Allsn, New York ; 

 Luther Tucker and li. i'. Johnson, Albany ; OCnceof the 

 Genesee Farmer, Rochester ; L. F. Allen, Black Rock ; 

 or at my residence 



Also, 1 will sell ten three-fourths and half bred Cows and 

 Heifers. 



After the sale of the alcove Cattle, I will sell at Auction, 

 one hundred Merino Rains, ten to fifteen South Down Ram^, 

 sixty Mermn and thirty grade Merino Ewes. The Ewes 

 will be sold in pens of three. 



That gentlemen not acquainted with my flock of Sheep 

 may form some opinion of their value, I make the following 

 statement, viz ; I have taken fve clips of wool from ray 

 Sheep. The clip of 1846 averaged a fraction over four lbs. 

 per head ; this was the largest. One of the five clips I sold 

 at thirty-nine cents, the other four I sold to 07ie Alanufactur- 

 ing Company at different times, at forty cetUs jjer lb. — all at 

 my oion house. 



Terms of the sale. Cash or approved endorsed notes, pay- 

 able at the Bank of Auburn, at three months with interest.

 densely settled, viz , Morgan, Scott, Cass, Mason, Menard^

A correspondent of one the New York papers writes, re- 

 specting this section of Illinois, as follows ; 



Bkarustown, Cass Co., 111., Jan. 10, 1845. 



The Riches of the West — Gothamites on .he 't\i/ig, — it is 

 now six weeks since I left the city of Gotham, during which 

 time 1 have seen considerable of the VVe^tern country, and 

 1 must say the beautiful prairies of Illinois far excel what I 

 had anticipated, and this country may truly be called the 

 garden of the world. There is nothing to prevent farraera 

 in this country from getting rich, as the land is the most fer- 

 tile in the world, and it will produce everything grown in 

 the vegetable kingdom. 



A New England man would hardly believe me if I would 

 tell him that some farmers here produce ten thousand bush- 

 els of corn and half as many bushels of wheat in a year, to 

 say nothi^ng of cattle and hogs, of which some raise as many 

 as five hiindred head. One farmer told me he had raised, 

 the last year, 6,000 bushels of corn, and it was all produced 

 by the labor of two men only. 



Cattle and sheep feed upon the prairies all winter, as they 

 are seldom covered with snow." 



Most of the above lands may be cultivated 100 years or 

 more without manuring, being of the richest alluvial soil. 

 The titles are indisputable and the lands will be .sold at low 

 prices and in quantities to suit purchasers. Letters (post 

 paid) addressed to D. H. AYRES, Esq., of Jacksonville, 

 ill., or to the subscriber, will receive prompt attention. Aa 

 many persous out of the Stale have an idea that the taxea 

 are very burdensome in Illinois, we stite thnt they range 

 from $1,51) to $2,00 per annum on 80 acres of land.
