in Scotland with the Princess bull Prince of the Kealin 

 1695. In 1880 he used Field Marshal 1778. This bull, 

 now on a ranche in Kansas, left some very good stock, 

 including several excellent grades out of Shorthorn cows. 

 On the ranche he has proved most useful, and has thriven 

 admirably, keeping his condition well under severe climatic 

 trials. He was exhibited at the Fair at Hay's City last 

 year, and was greatly admired. For the bull calves dropped 

 to him by native cows, there was a spirited demand among 

 neighbouring ranche men. In 1881 and 1882 Mr Bed- 

 field used Manrico 1900. The herd numbered in April 

 1882 eleven head four Princesses, three Baronesses, three 

 Favourites, and the stock bull Manrico 1900, a son of 

 the Erica bull St Glair 1160 a Highland Society first- 

 prize winner, and the Mina cow Mina 4th of Melville 

 3843, one of the best breeders at Kinnochtry. Mr Ked- 

 field's principal sales have been as follows : In June 1881, 

 the bull Field Marshal 1778, went into the ranche of Mr 

 Eobbins, Battell, Victoria, Ellis Co., Kansas. Shortly 

 after, the bulls Fandango and Proud Knight were sold to 

 Mr Jos. B. Eldridge, of Norfolk, Connecticut, for his ranche 

 in Ellis Co., Kansas. About the same time, Professor E. 

 M. Shelton, of the Kansas Agricultural College, visited 

 Wigwam Farm, and purchased the bull Falerino for the 

 College Farm at Manhattan, taking with him also a cow 

 purchased at the Ontario Experimental Farm, Guelph. In 

 addition to the above, Mr Eedfield, sold in the summer 

 and fall of 1881, three bull calves bred from his imported 

 heifers one to Mr J. J. Kodgers, Abingdon, Knox County, 

 Illinois; one to Messrs D. E. Fenn & Son, Tallmadge, 

 Ohio ; and the third to Mr J. G. Tayler, Burlington, Kansas. 

 In January 1882 he also sold to Messrs D. E. Fenn & 

 Son, the heifers Maid of the Mist 4344, and Mountain 

 Mist 4346, with heifer calves. The only other sale was
