 cows of liis get are on tlie farm. 



In 1915 it seemed advisal»le to introduce a bull 

 of new )»lood for use on the strongly lired Col- 

 l.\-nie cows and Master of the Dales by Avondale 

 was bought of Forbes & Son. A full brother to 

 this bull made quite a reputation in the Robl)ins 

 herd and the calves in the Fcjrbes herd liy Mas-

 them away. 



It may readily be inferred from the preceding 

 statements that Mr. Hill holds in high esteem 

 the get of Mistletoe Archer. In fact he was sold 

 1)efore his real worth as a sire had been demon- 

 strated. The old bull Ijeing no longer availalile, 

 Mr. Hill has bought Ixack one of his sons and he 

 is l)eing liljerally used this season (1920). This
