A splendid bull was srcured from S. D. Mitch- 

 ell, a sou of White (Joods, daui by 47tli Duke of 

 Airdrie. (See Mitchell skelch.) Another one 

 was by Captain Lovely out of a dam by Mr. 

 Stodder's i^-reat Ca})tain Archei'. The present 

 herd bull is a massive I'oan by Mr. llainia's 

 Hampton Si)ray out of Golden Qut'cn 'Ad by imp. 

 Coll_ynie, second dam, imp. (iolden Queen. (See 

 S. C. 11 anna history.) This is a very desirable 

 !)ull and lliosc who like tlie hi;;', beef\', deep, thick 

 kind could not help likiiiti' him. A promisiuii' 

 }'earlin!j,' bull, receully bought from E. L. Stun- 

 kel, will also be tried. lie is by Cumberland

J. W. Sickles & Sons, Winfield.— Substantial 

 care is being' given Ihe good sized herd of Short- 

 horns on this farm but they are not being pushed 

 for extra development. The appearance of the 

 calves speaks well for the cows as producers. I 

 was impressed with the fact that the Sickles have 

 ami^le facilities for handling their cattle and that 

 it would ])robably be only a (fuestion of time mi- 

 til theii' anibiiion would lead them to put u[) a 

 high-class heixl. The material they have on 

 hand is good enough, if mated with the right 

 kind of bulls and developed I'ightly, to produce 

 such results.
