and sucked a three-year-old heifer that weighed 

 more than 1600, while the cow and calf were on 

 pasture without grain. This heifer and her calf 

 were a most remarkable pair for their ages. The 

 heifer was Sycamore Secret by Collynie, full of 

 the best blood known in Shorthorn history. Wat-

 R. E. Webb, Wayside. Mr. Webb engaged 

 with his father in breeding Shorthorns in 1905 

 and for the past eight years has been working on 

 his own account. One of his best cows is Cather- 

 ine Victoria by Rosewood 2d, a son of Rosewood 

 by imp. Inglewood out of imp. Roseleaf by Scot- 

 tish Archer. Two good cows were purchased at 

 the Stodder dispersion and one of these, Silver 

 Creek Sylvia by Lord Thistle, is still on the farm 

 with several female descendants. Butterfly's 

 Fortune by Alice's Fortune is another of the 

 more desirable cows. Her sire is by Fortune, a 

 well known son of Collynie, used for several 

 years by I. L. Swinney. Mr. Webb has a bull 

 that should be highly satisfactory. His sire is 

 Secret Baron by Snowstorm, son of Snowflake, 

 sire of the three times International grand cham- 

 pion, Ringmaster. His dam is by Collynie Choice, 

 a son of Collynie out of a daughter of Choice 

 Goods.
