lias made a nice start with two cows bought of 

 J. H. Holcomb. One of these is by Marquis Cum-

 Best, frequently mentioned in this book. The 

 other is by Orange Senator 308511, a bull well

 will add a good cow to his herd occasionally. He 

 is breeding to the high-class bull, Scotch Cumber- 

 land, owned by S. M. Knox. 



George L. Weatherbie, Moran. Mr. Weather- 

 bie has a few cows of choice breeding. Red

 bull is by a son of Lord Mayor 3d out of a daugh- 

 ter of imp. Collynie. Such a start will be recog- 

 nized as a good one.
