1t ~ known to Breeders ui improved stock IN this
country and in Canada, that the proprety OF this herd
during the pnst twelve years has through the medv
nm OF lmportniious from England, aud selections from
tn best herds in tins country, spared no expense to
rear n herd o cattle from which superior animals
could be- safely drawn for improvement and crosses
upon other herds. His lnpoitauons have been de-
uvrd from that eminent breeder, the late Ihonns
Bates Esq OF kritirvmuou, ortshirc' England :;
which herd, 1t i well known. has recently been dis
posed OF public sale by his administrators. and dis

their reputation as stock gcitcrs is too well known
by Lewis +. Allen, Esq OF Back Rock, one Of the
most prominent breeders la this country, and who

" that in instance 10 his knowledge, had these Nv q
Bulls been placed to short-horn cows OF other herds
previously imported into the United States, but what
the produce superior in genera qualities to such
herds"
The most OF the stock which is now Offered for
