bringing over a few high-class Guernseys with his importa- 

 tions of Jerseys, and finding a growing demand for them he 

 greatly increased the number of Guernseys and decreased the 

 Jerseys until now his importation of Jerseys has nearly ceased 

 while he is importing large numbers of the best Guernseys. 



In October, 1908, George W. Ott brought over a lot of 

 50 head, and has made several other large importations since. 



James H. Beirne, of Oakfield, Wis., bought three out 

 of my first importation and liked them so well that he went 

 over himself the same year and again the ne.xt. 



In 1909 I made an importation of 108 head for O. C. Bar- 

 ber, Akron, Ohio, and a second one of 100 head for him in 

 1913. 



Since 1908 the number of importations have so increased, 

 as well as the number of cattle imported, and the facts are so 

 well known to all that it is impossible and unnecessary to 

 continue the detailed account of them. Among the names 

 of those who have made one or more importations of note are ; 

 J. S. Govin, Menomonie, Wis. ; Fred G. Phillips, Villa Nova, 

 Pa.; Geo. C. Cooper, Superior, Wis.; .M. A. DeW'itt, Bing- 

 hampton. Pa. ; W W. Marsh, Waterloo, Iowa ; Thomas John- 

 son, Columbus, Ohio ; A. J. Snyder, Plumsteadville, Pa. ; 

 Thomas F. Ryan, Oak Ridge, Va. ; George Wood, Phila-
