DOMESTIC ANIMALS AT AUCTION. 



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

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

 o(T 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 

 some writers say was p>irt of the original ingredient which com- 

 posed the improved Short Horns. 



1 am now breeding Short Horns. Dcvons and Ayrsbires. each 

 sep.arately and pure, which, owing to the hmits of my farm, make 

 it necessary to confine myself to those three breed.s. liy the awards 

 of the J^tate Agricultural Society, tbe American Institute, and my 

 own County Society, (with the exception of last year, when I was 

 not a competitor at either.) it will fully appear that I 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 Bulls 

 got by Lamartiue will be of the most appropriate age for efficient 

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

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

 Eryholme, or my celebrated Bull, Lamartine. 



1 own two thorough bred Devon Bulla ; one the celebrated old 

 Major, the other, one and a half years old, imported by me from 

 Devonshire. One of the above animals will bo sold — which. I 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, &c. 



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 dispose 

 of on that day. 



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

 from the flock of Jonas Webb, and now in lamb to my imporf.cd 

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

 tion on that day. 



This sale will not only offer an opportunitj* to obtain Stock from 

 my previous herd, but will also enable persons to procure calves 

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

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

 ted by mr, in person, when in England. 



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

 in case tbey prove not to be so. it shall be optional with the pur- 

 chaser, on his ctrlificatt of that fact, either to receive from me $^25 

 (say twenty-five dollars) or to .siuid the cow to my farm, and I will 

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

 to either one of my Bulls, whieh bo shall choose. I will give $25 

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

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



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

 ship-board or railroad in the city of New V ork, free 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 bi; transpoi tea at that hot season ot the 

 year, may let such animals as they may purchase, remain with me 

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

 and charge only a reasonable price for their keep. One of myotn 

 jects inbreeding im. proved domestic animals, is to a.ssistin distri- 

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

 important feature to promote profit to the cultivator of the soil, 

 and to benefit the consu ning country at large. 



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

 pre-pay their answers, and abii a Catalogue if reijuired. Cata- 

 logues will be to be had at all the principal Agricultural Ware- 

 hou.sesand offices of the principal Agricultural Journals, on and 

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

 at any time, will find my sujierintendent. .Mr. Wilkinson, to give 

 them the desired infurmation when I am .at not at homi^.
