 able locatiou and bi-iglit boys who are taking a 

 lively interest in the SShorthoi-ns, the way to suc-

 of bulls I have seen in the county and his 

 ancestry is such as to promise satisfactory re- 

 sults. Nothing more is needed than sticking to 

 the business and giving the cattle proper care. 



J. W. Harrington, Burlington. — Mr. Harring- 

 ton is a new l)i'ceder who bought three useful 

 cows and who has a tliick, shortdegged bull bred

 Shor'thorn cow that is a good milker is the prac- 

 tical and profital)le kind for the small farmer. 



J. F. Knight, Lebo.* — This little herd consists 

 of purchases that are of very nice lux-eding from 

 C. L. Buchanan and Wm. (Jronin & Sons. Tlie 

 Buchanan cows arc by Victor Mysie, an imusual- 

 ly g(jod lu-eeding IjuII. The brdl used is also by 

 Victor Mysie. His dam is by a son of Andrew
