other is a bog bred by G. w. Jones,
named Acme, (Vol. 81, sired by All
Right; 453I, dam Admire ed Io94o,
by Curly's U. S. a3oI. This is a very
handsome hog, straight bodied good
hams and shoulders, we'll haired,
very little white and that in the right
place for a stylish hog, very fine in
the ear, which breaks over just about
right. He will be a large hog and
when full grown will be a hard one
TO beat.
A few years ago the Messers.
Barnes purchased a Shorthorn COW
at the sale of Mr.. VIM. Ball on the
Lansing Fair grounds. This cow was
Rosette 4th, now eight old years, red

quish Airdrie I'D, and had a red heifer
calf with some white marks and a stal
ia the face. These five females com
prise the Roses of Sharon on the
farm.
Besides these the Messers. Barnes
purchased the COW Rowena of Ham
burg, bred by VIM Ball, sired by
Lord Darlington ed 3oII5 out OF
Rowena I4th by Oxford's Argyle
2o534. She has a bull calf, now
eight months old, red, sired by Van,
quish Airdrie I'd 4o463, which is a
fine animal individually as well as in
breeding.
Another purchase made vas the
cow Rowena roth, brought into the
State by VIM. Ball, and a grand old
cow. She had been bred to the Duke
of Crow Farm 3Sa3a, and her calf
a red heifer now two years old, called
Pomona Rose, is a very handsome
one. Rowena 10th is now dead,
having produced ID calves. These
two females Of the Pomona family
with five Roses of Sharon, comprise
the females in the herd, a number Of
others OF different breeding haying
been sold out.
AT the head of the herd is the bull
Vanquish Airdrie I'd 4o463, now foul
years old, by Duke of Dover 35o45
dam Oxford Vanquish 9th (Vol. IS,

quish Airdrie ed. 1t will be seen
that this bull is closely bred in the
same line of blood, and that he com.
bInes a large amount Of Duke and
Oxford blood. In make up he j:
quite as good as his breeding, a deer
red in color, straight in his top and
bottom lines, good head, clean muz
zle, good over the chine and full in
the crops. The calves from him are
very fine, and in fact the young
heifers mentioned above are uncom'
monty good ones. The Roses Of
Sharons are as even a lot in makeup
and as good individually as one
could wish for. If the Barnes Broth
ers should show them as a herd with
Airdrie Vanquish I'd, it will take
good ones to beat them in the eyes
of fair judges. This herd has started
out well, and we hope to see it KEEP,
up to its present high standard.
