HEREFORD BULL IMPROVER (19,206), 94,020, now deceased. 
He was bred by J. H. Arkwright, Esq., Hampton Court, Leominster, 
England, and imported by T. F. B. Sotham, of Chillicothe, Mo., to head 
his herd. This great bull at three years old weighed 2,000 pounds. 
He was believed to be the deepest-bodied and shortest-legged bull in 
the world. IMPROVER was a grand show animal from the start, and 
in several instances was first in class, first in herd or champion aged 
bull at State Fairs, and first in class at the Chicago International Live 
Stock Exposition of 1901. By reason of mistaken patriotism this bul! 
was sent for exhibit at the South Carolina Exposition, and died from 
fever contracted there. 
AYRSHIRE COW--CLARA GLADYS. Seven years old. Cham- 
pion cow of the breed at St. Louis, 1903, and winner of many other 
premiums. Owned by W. P. Schanck, of Avon, N, Y.
