To these numerous selections were added several more pur- 

 chases from other herds imported into Kentucky, which, with his 

 native bred Short-horns he had for some years previous been cultiva- 

 ting, comprised the largest Short-horn herd then in the United States. 

 Neither money nor pains were spared in the selection of his stock, 

 or in their subsequent propagation. Many sales were made from it, 

 both in Kentucky and other States, and its reputation was among the 

 best in the country. 



Mr. Alexander died, unmarried, in the year 1867, in the prime of 

 his life and usefulness. His large Woodburn estate of some 3,000 

 acres, together with his cattle, sheep, swine, and valuable stud of 

 blood and trotting horses, fell into the possession of his brother, Mr. 

 A. J. Alexander, who still maintains, if not in numbers, yet in their 

 integrity of blood and quality, the descendants of the valuable stock 

 which the earlier proprietor had so carefully collected. 



In the year 1852 a number of gentlemen in the Scioto valley, in 

 Ohio, formed an association, sent out one or more agents and made 

 an importation of near 20 Short-horns, bulls and cows. Most of 

 them, 1 6 in number, were sold at the farm of the late Dr. Arthur 

 Watts, near Chillicothe, at public auction, under the attendance of a 

 numerous company, as follows :
