FRANKLIN COUNTY 



R. H. Lister, Ottawa. — (^n tliis farni condi- 

 tions pi'csent a bi-ight outlook I'or the future. Mr. 

 Lister has had suc<'csslid experience in bi'eeding 

 and feeding cattle and appearances indicate that 

 he should be good for enough lease on life to put 

 up a herd of extraordinary merit. . The cattle 

 are almost exclusively high-class females, select- 

 ed not fi'om the pcdigi'ce standpoint but for in- 

 dividual worth and tlie>' are of the true Short- 

 horn money malcing type. JNl r. Ijister has ]>aid 

 little or no attenlion 1o the blood lines, though 

 as is in\'a,i'iab!y the case, when the right kinds of 

 Shoi'thorns are sekM'ted, the>^ are from the right 

 kinds of ancestrv for "Fi^'s do not crow on
