COMMENTS BY WELL.-KNOWN AUTHORITIES, 



Hon. James Wit son, United States Secretary of Agriculture: "I have 

 greatly enjoyed reading Mi. Sanders' 'History of Short-horn Cattle.' He 

 tells us of the origin and development of this great breed of cattle in a 

 clear, concise and entertaining manner. Every breeder should have it so 

 that he may study the principles upon which the several great breeders 

 have acted, and not only that but every stock raiser In the land should 

 have a copy in his library." 



Richard Uibson of Canada, one of the best informed students of 

 Short-horn history on either side of the Atlantic: "Your 'Short-horn 

 History' will ever "be recognized as an agricultural classic." 



Lord Foi.wabth, Mertoun House, St. Boswell's: "I have been deeply 

 Interested in your new volume on 'Short-horn Cattle.' " 



London (Eno.) Livb-Stock Joubnal: "Mr. Sanders is to be congrat- 

 ulated upon the successful accomplishment of a task of great magnitude 

 and difacultv." 



Henby Wade, Secretary Dominion Short-horn Breeders' Association: 

 " Mr. Sanders deserves a vote of thanks from the whole Short-horn com- 

 munity for his trouble in compiling this volume." 



William Wabfibld of Kentucky: "I cannot express my delight with 

 the book. To us old-timers who are alive it will be both a delight and a 

 sorrow. It must be very instructive to breeders who have entered the 

 field in the past few years." , , • ^ 



Jambs I. Davidson of Canada: "Everything from the pen of the author 

 is a treat ; but this book tar exceeded my expectations. Nothing I have 

 seen in that line can compare with it— not even the notable English works 

 of 'The Druid.'"
