346 THE BREED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



3107. The cows had calves at foot by a Jilt sire. The 

 herd at Lake Forest is thus, it will be seen, composed of 

 very good material, and has already taken a creditable 

 position in the American showyards. Writing us in 

 February 1882, Messrs Anderson & Findlay said : " Our 

 sales have been to T. E. Clark, Victoria, Ellis Co., Kansas ; 

 Lee & Eeynolds, Dodge City, Kansas ; J. J. Eodgers, 

 Abingdon, Illinois ; Abner Eoyce, Naperville, Illinois ; 

 P. H. Tompkins, El Paso, Illinois ; W. S. Crosby, High-

 cannot be surpassed, to say nothing of the advantage of 

 being hornless."

 and Baroness families. In the spring of 1882 Mr Eodgers 

 secured from the Kinnochtry herd twelve yearling heifers 

 and two yearling bulls. These were of the Princess 

 Baroness Favourite and Mina families. The list com- 

 prehended the following: Princess Adelaide, by Shah 

 680, out of Princess 2nd 916 ; Princess Olga, by Baron 

 Balgersho 1696, out of Theresa 1773 ; Princess Alberta,
