best of the breed in this country. He
has remarkable good escutcheon and

land. in 1881, and was one of the 30 ami

try. she is sired by the bull Case,
whose dam has milk record of 80 ID
lbs. in one day. Minnie. the dam of
Pretty Moll, has butter record of Is ID

Daisy Lord, No. 62G2, won first prize
in the yearling class at the last State
fair. She dropped her first calf in
March, SO, when just two years old, and
gave an average the last Il days of March
of 43 lbs. per day. She will without doubt
give over 80 lbs. a day on grain. The
cows of this herd are fed and watered
twice a day. At q. III. each is given
four quarts of grain with what hay they
will eat up clean. and the same at 3 p. III.
The feed consists of corn. oats and bran
in about equal parts. The feeding is for
profitable return and healthy condition,
rather than enormous records and short
lived cows. The herd is owned by Mr..
II. b. Hammond of New York city,
whose object is not the commercial profit
of importing animals for sale, but to es-
tablish and maintain the choicest posi-
BILE herd of this breed: and it is conceded
by competent and disinterested parties,
who have opportunity of knowing, that
he now owns the most uniformly choice
herd of this celebrated breed of cat tie in
this country.
