bi'cd ayain to the noted Bellows bull, (iood 

 Choice, from which niatiuti' a heifer calf was se- 

 cured. A short time ago I saw the (trigiual piii'- 

 chase and I have seldom, if ever, seen a sixteen- 

 year-old cow carrying a calf and showing so 

 unich vigor. She looks al)out like the average 

 vigorous eight-year-old and b}' t'arly spring she 

 will luu^e produced her fourteenth calf. This 

 cow, known to the breed as Wt'stlawn Blanclie, 

 has to her credit a wondeiful family with more 

 size and real beef producing quality than any 

 other family of cows 1 have ever seen. The ma- 

 ture cows in Mr. Sclu)lz's herd as I saw them 

 looked like 1800 pound animals on grass. They 

 are nearly all suckling excellent calves and the 

 man whose admirati<ui they would not excite cer- 

 taiidy has no eye foi' big, smooth, beefy Short- 

 horns. 



The heifer by (iood Choice, after having pro- 

 duced numerous calves and having quit breeding, 

 was shipped to market as an eleven-year-old cow, 

 without any special feeding, bringing a little less 

 than $250. Numerous small herds have been 

 stai'ted from the daughters and granddaughters 

 of this cow. 



A later addition to the herd is imp. Rosehaugii 

 Belle 2d, a roan of accept(Hl Sc(^tch breeding. 

 She is (|uite a good individual. Imported Sudie 

 Maid br(Hl l)y the S. Caiupltell Estate is also in 

 the herd. ITer sire, Sittyton Yet, was a Duthie
