BEAUTY AND QUALITY. 
With this enormous capacity for the pro¬ 
duction of milk and butter we have succeeded 
in combining beauty of form, fine bone, ele¬ 
gant finish and large size. 
BEEF CATTLE. 
For the Shambles they will compare favora¬ 
bly with the other beef breeds. 
THE CATTLE FOR THE SOUTH. 
The fact that the tlolsteins acclimate more 
readily and endure the climate of Texas and 
all the Southern States far better than any 
other breed is of great importance to all 
Southern breeders. 
Within the last four years we have shipped 
them to Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, 
South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky and Ten¬ 
nessee, and have yet to learn of a single full- 
blood being lost. 
LARGE HERD. 
Buyers can here have the advantage of large 
numbers of the highest quality to select from 
Our extensive importations enable us to 
avail ourselves of tne lowest freight and lower 
expense per animal. 
These advantages we are willing to share, 
with our customers, and thus we are enabled 
to oiler animals of the finest quality and 
rarest breeding at prices usually asked for or¬ 
dinary stock. . 
NOTED FAMILIES. 
In this herd are nearly all the members of 
the renowned Aaggie and Netherland fami¬ 
lies. 
REMARKABLE BULLS. 
At the head of this herd stand the famous 
bulls Neptune, out of Aaggie and own brother

Belle.
