Baron Marr, one of the best sons of Cumber- 

 land's Last. For several years Lord Hampton 

 by Hampton's Challenger 287618 was used with 

 satisfactory results. In 1915 Mr. Holstine 

 bought the bull that proved an outstanding 

 sire. Hampton Primrose by Hampton Spray out 

 of Primrose 6th, one of the best cows in Mr.

 daughters. I have seen many of Hampton Prim-

 of excellent type and quality, is now in use. His 

 ancestry on both sides is of the best. 



Adam H. Andrew, Girard. Mr. Andrew has 

 been with Shorthorns all his life and since 1895 

 he has been breeding on his own account. A suc- 

 cessful sale was held in 1914. It is planned to 

 make an occasional addition by purchase and to 

 exhibit at the county fair. The cows are of very

 deep bodies set on short legs. They are main-

 feeds. The herd has always been kept closely 

 culled. Such bulls as the Kellerman bred 8th
