 for use in the Pan-American test, though she was 13 years old. She 

 did not do well enough to go into the test but was a very good cow. 

 She was the dam of Henry of Fairview 6962, that sired Tessie of Maple 

 Lane 23457, A. R. 1706 A, 595.2 pounds fat. Many of Bonny Boy's 

 other daughters are spoken of very highly by those who owned them.

Lily's Bonny Boy was sold when a yearling to N. K. Fairbank, Lake 

 Geneva, Wis., and j\Ir. Lawrence, his superintendent, says he did not 

 take a particular fancy to the bull, as he was rather sma'lf and a little 

 beefy. He was used extensively in this herd from 1891 to 1897, spend- 

 ing his whole life there except one season, when he was rented to 

 Walter Hately, of Lake Beulah, Wi.q. Bonny Boy's sons with their 

 descendants are as follows:
