SV6oM Hero has come into this herd with repu-
..stion fot bad disposition, having former occa-
sions amused himselfby hurting hs keepers. Whether
schange of air or the sober reflection which age
imparts has produced more peaceful temper, We
cannot say, but Dir. COnger claims 10 have had no
trouble with him since he has into his posses

think rather uaOw-chosted, quality fair, upper line
rood. Of great weight. He bred by Morris, but

She has not cayed for two year, past! She IS very

brought Congor a heifer calf, Zuleka. Her pedigree

be traced further than TO Mr. Beaseys J4rette. Eh
too common custom with some breeders 10 ennob!e
their saable animals by appropraing, wholesale the

Was,el! and Hubbsck bulls-a practice which cannot
be too highly reprcheuded. Eigtlka and S4TPr'se
