cows by Hampton's Crown, a son of Hampton's 

 Best, the outstanding son of imp. Merry Hamp- 

 ton, considered by many breeders the best Scotch 

 bull ever imported. Some females in the herd 

 are by Cherry Knight, a son of Barmpton 

 Knight, the bull that did such excellent service 

 for Tomsons, out of a granddaughter of the 

 famous bull, Village Hero. This is the same line 

 breeding as that of Young Abbotsburn, the 

 greatest show r bull ever exhibited in America. 

 From this it may be seen that the Schoepflin fe- 

 males come by their size and quality honestly. 

 Mr. Schoepflin, in partnership with a neighbor, 

 C. E. McPerren, owns the Tomson bred Victor 

 Sultan. There is a bright prospect for this herd 

 for it was founded on correct principles and it 

 will receive all necessary attention. 



Mr. Schoepflin is one of the public spirited 

 breeders of his county and is doing his full share 

 in pushing Shorthorn interests. 



Thomas Gray, Lyndon. This is a herd of 

 twenty-five females of more than average merit. 

 They have been produced through the use of 

 bulls representing such sires as Prince Valentine 

 4th, a show bull for Mr. Nevius and a noted 

 breeding bull in the Tomson herd where he sired 

 numerous great producing cows ; Lavender King 

 3d; imp. King of Aberdeen, sire of J. H. Pott's 

 show cattle; Prime Minister by imp. Prince of 

 Perth; Royal Wanderer and Scotland's Charm,
