 s1il! vvrv ni,u,L^c(l, is a sjdcndid i]idividnal. One 

 «d' her dau,t2,htei-s is a. five-yea r-old roan of med- 

 ium size and mucli (jnality and slie lias tlu'ce 

 ('lioi<'e heifers to lier ei'edit Iwsides having- pro-

1 am mentioning these rattle especially, be-

 stock from the descendants of these five females. 

 The other cows in the herd are good, in faet not a 

 r>oo]' or unwoi'tliy animal was seen among them. 

 The general a[»i»eai-ancc of all the cattle indi- 

 cates efficient management and if all breeders 

 woiii'd give their hei'ds ihe same intelligent care 

 that Mr. Kitchen is giving, and use high-class 

 bulls as he has Ix'en using, lectures (.»n care and 

 hei'd bulls would b(^ umiecessary.

 of remarl;able bs.'cfiness, a white son of Prince 

 Valentine 4tli, the successtul show and bi'eeding 

 bull used by Tomsons. 1 do not recall having 

 seen an3'whe]-e, in recent years, a juuch better

 mally shoi't-higged with a, wonderfully deep, 

 Hiick body, co\-<M'ed wilh a wealth of smooth

 a ti'onblesome opponent even in a p)retty strong 

 show. This bull was ]iui'cliased of 0. S. Ne\'ius,
