the .UTciund and suiootli and should make a first- 

 class sire. 



J. A. Mussett, Basehor. — This herd consists of 

 (inly fi\'e females l^ut they make up in quality 

 what they lack in immljers. They have jdenty of 

 size, smoothness and Shorthorn character. A 

 liea\\v milkino- cow and a fine l;)reedei' is Cam- 

 bria Maid l)y Clansman, son of Lavender Vice- 

 roy l)y the grand champion. Lavender Viscount. 

 An aged cow l)red b.y H. C. Duncan and sired by 

 Headlight, out of a dam ))y Scottish (Jhief, is 

 still A'igoi'ous and Itids fail' to raise several more 

 calves. Her individuality and the ancestry from 

 wlii(di she comes shoidd make her calves valu- 

 al)le. Her heifei'S wdll all 1_)e retained. Clara's 

 Choice, the well known Ccntry lu'ed bull, has a 

 good daugiitei' in the herd. 



Mr. Mussett is acting wisel,v in using Harrison 

 Meyer's bull instead of keeping one of medium 

 qualitj' su(di as he feels he could afford to lju.y 

 and in this l)c is setting an example to small 

 breeders who in manv (/ases are using a (juite 

 common bull. Co-operation on the bull should be 

 practiced wdierever possil^le. The size of Mr. 

 Mussett 's herd is not an indicati<;)n cd' his future 

 operations foi' he is ^danning more purchases <)f 

 females and they will be good ones. He has all 

 the resources necessary for putting up a Sliort- 

 liorn herd including plenty of enthusiasm, both 

 in himself and in a growing son.
