: 



DOI^IESTIC ANIBIAIiS AT AUCTION. 



THE postponed yoarly sale of Full Bred Short Horns and Im- 

 proved Dairy Stock, consisting of about fifty head, will come 

 off at my farm on Tuesday. June 24th, 1851. at 12 o'clock, M. I shall 

 dispose of all the improved Dairy Stock, which is composed of the 

 finest Short Horn, with a slight cross of Amsterdam Dutch, which 

 Bome writers say was part of the original ingredient which com- 

 posed the improved Short Horns. 



I am now breeding Short Horns. Devons and Ayrshires. each 

 separately and pure, which, owing to the limits of my farm, make 

 it necessary to confine myself to those three breeds. Hy the award.s 

 of the i^tate .VgriculturalSociety. the American Institute, and my 

 own t'ounty Society, (with the exception of last year, when I was 

 not a competitor at either,) it will fully appear that 1 have been a 

 very successful exhibitor. The Cow which won the First Prize as 

 a milker, at the American Institute last year, was bred by me. and 

 composed of the above alluded to Daiiy Stock Several of the BulKs 

 got by Lamartine will be of the mo.st appropriate age for efficient 

 service the coming season. All Cows and Heifers old enough, will 

 be warranted in calf at the day of sale, by my imported Bull. Lord 

 fcryholrae, or my celebrated Bull. Lamartine. 



I owu two thorough bred Devon Bulls ; one the celebrated old 

 Major, the other, oue and a half years old, imported by mo from 

 Devonshire. One of the above auimals will be sold— which, 1 have 

 not yet determined. 



A full Catalogue, with the pedigree of each animal, will be pub- 

 lished in due time, with minute description of sale, &o. 



I also have a number of Suffolk Sows, in pig to my imported 

 Boar, most of the progeny of which will be old enough to dispo.-.e 

 of on that day. 



I also have about 20 South Down Ewes, most of which I imported 

 from the flock of Jotiaa Webb, and now in lamb to my imported 

 Buck. Babraham. Some of the Buck Lambs will be offered at auc- 

 tion ou that day. 



This sale will not only offer an opportunity to obtain Stock from 

 my previous herd but will also enable persons to procure calves 

 from my imported Bull, lambs from my imported Ram. and pigs 

 from my imported Boar— all of which animals were recently selec- 

 ted by me in person, when in England. 



The mode of warranting the Cows and Heifers in calf, is this : 

 in case they prove not to be so, it shall be optional with the pur- 

 cha.'er, on his cerlificaU of thai fad, either to receive fi-om me if2.') 

 (say twenty-five dollars) or to send the cow to my farm, and 1 will 

 keep her the proper time (free of expense) to have her got in calf 

 to either one of my Bulls, which he shall choose. I will give $25 

 for any Heifer calf frum either of the Cows or Heifers sold at the 

 sale, delivered ou my farm, at two weeks old. 



Stock purchased to be sent at a distance, will bo delivered on 

 ship-board or railroid in the city of New Vork, fiee of risk or ex- 

 pense to the purchaser. 



Persons living at the South, in a climate to which it would not 

 be well that stock should be transporteJ at that hot season ot the 

 year, may let such animals as they may purchase, remain with m,; 

 until the proper season, and I will have them well taken care of. 

 and char ;e only a reai^ouable price for their keep One of my ob- 

 jects inbreeding improved domestic animals, is to assist in distri- 

 buting them throughout the Union, deeming it one if not the most 

 important featuri> to promote profit to tlie cultivator of the t-oil 

 and to benefit the consuming country at large. 



All communications through the Post please pre-pay. and I will 

 pre-pay their answers, and also a t^atalogue if required. Cata- 

 logues will be to be had at all the pr)ncipal Agricultural Ware- 

 houses and offici-s of the principal .Agricultural Journals, on and 

 after tiie 1st day of June next. Person wishing to view the stock 

 at any liuie will find my superintendent, .Mr. Wilkinson, to give 

 Iheni the dc-irel inf.irmation when I am al not at home. 



Dated, this 4th day of .March, 1S51 at Mount Fordham, AVesl- 

 chester < ounty. eight miles from the City ot .New Vork. by the

 enter into a detail of pedigree here, but suflice it to say, he is di - 

 Fcended through all the generations that are recorded in the Eng-

Great Sale of Saperf or ThorongIi_Bred Short Horn 

 Cattle. 



THE subscriber having more Stock than he can well sustain on 

 his farm, will offer at Public Auction about THIRTY head of 

 his Improved Short Horn Cattle, consisting of Bulla, Cows. Heifers 

 and Hull Calves, on the 26th day of June next, at his farm2>2 miles 

 from this city. 



It is known to breeders of improved stock, in this country, and 

 in Canada, that the projirictor of this herd during the past 12 

 years, has through the medium of importations from England, and 

 selections from the best herds in this country, spared no expense 

 to rear a herd of cattle from which superior animals could be safe- 

 ly drawn for improvement and crosses upon other breeds. His 

 importations have been derived from that eminent breeder, the 

 la e Thomas Bates. Esq . of Kirklevington, Yorkshire. England, 

 which herd it is well known has recently been disposedof at public 

 sale by his adminstrators, and dispersed into many hands, andean 

 no longer be resorted to as a whole, for improvement. The an- 

 nouncement of that sale created great interest, and all Short Horn 

 breeders in England seemed emulous to secure on'.; or more of these 

 aniiu.als to mingle with the blood of their own herds, and at the 

 d.ay of sale, there was found assembled the largest audience ever 

 before witnessed upon a similar occasion, numbering, as was said, 

 from 4 to 5,000 persons, and among them the best breeders in Eng- 

 land, and several from other countries. Some of the animals bro't 

 prices which seemed incredible to many. 



I n the her._i now offered for sale, will be included the Imported 

 Bull, Duke of Wellington, and the premium Bull, Meteor. These 

 are Bates' Bulls, and their reputation as stock-getters are too well 

 known to need any comment. I am authorized to say by Lewis 

 K. Allen. Esq., of Black Rock, one of the most prominent breeders 

 in this country, and who has had ample means of forming a judg- 

 ment. '■ That in no instance, to his knowledge, had these two Bulls 

 been bred to Short Horn Cows of other herds, previously imported 

 into the United States, but that their produce were superior in 

 general qualities to such herds." 



The most of the Stock which is now offered for sale, have been 

 bred from these two Bulls; and the proprietor, having a young 

 bull more remotely connected with that portion of the herd he re- 

 tains, (being about 14 in number,) can ^p.are these two valuable 

 Bulls. There will be in the Swick offered for sale. 6 young Bulls, 

 from 8 months old to 2 years, in addition to the two named above ; 

 and the remainder of the Stock will be composed of Cows, (most 

 of them possessed of extraordinary milking qualities.) Heifers and 

 Heifer Calves. It is believed that no herd of Short Horns ha.s ever 

 been offered for sale in this couutrj', exhibiting more of the valu- 

 able combinations of qualities which contribute to make up per- 

 fect animals. 



A Catalogue containing the pe ?igrees of these animals will be 

 ready for delivery at an early period, in which the Terms of the 

 Sale will be particularly stated. A Credit will be given from Six 

 to Eighteen months. Gentlemen are ic vited to examine the herd 

 at tlieir convenience. GEO. VAIL.
