Michigan ShOrthOrns In Vermont.

We find the following in the Michi-
gan Farmer of Dec. 16:
The herd of Shorthorns of +. IL l.. +.
Moore of Shorebam, Vermont, was es.
tablished two years ago by the pur-
chase of six head from Mr.. VIM. Ball
of Hamburg, Mich, of which three
were Pomonas, two Roses of Sharon,
and young Phyllis bull, all bred by
Mr.. Ball. AT the county fair in Add.
son county, VT, last fall, this herd took
nearly all the premiums, including all
the firsts in each class aud also in herds.
AT the State fair in Vermont, against a
good competition, this herd secured all
the first premiums but one, not only re-
flecting credit on the good selections
made by Mr.. Moore, but also upon the
breeder OF the cattle.
The interest which is fast growing in
the Green Mountain State for Short
horns has induced Mr. Moore to again
visit Michigan, and he has added five
head more to his small herd, buying
three from VIM. Ball of Hamburg, and
two from w. f. Boyden of Delhi Mills
He has taken nothing but well-bred,
good show animals. The young bull
Duke of Winchester, which will head
| the herd in the future, is an exceeding
ly fine calf, one that will be heard from
in the show ring as well as in the herd.
His dam, Ellen COombs, is fine show
cow, as is the young heifer Katie
COombs. Rosette 81, bought from W.
f. Boyden, carried oft the blue ribbon
at the Michigan State fair three years
ago, when owned by William Ball.
Her calf, which goes with her, is a good
| COmmanderin.C Chief, now owned by
w. f. Boyden.
Mr. Moore, as he undoubtedly will,
ought to make it warm for any oppo-
sition next year at the fairs. He is to
be congratulated upon his fine purchas-
es, and our breeders are to be congrat-
ulated that some of the money they
have been paying out for sheep the past
20 years is beginning to come back for
Sh6rthorns an exchange that will
benefit the breeders and farmers OF
both States.
The animals purchased are further
described elsewhere in the paper thus:

taken first both years since as fat heifer.
Her present heifer calf got first at Kal-
amaZoo as heifer calf under six months.
Mr.. BoYden also won two diplomas
with Rosette Sd as best COW with three
