]. J. Littrell, Sturgeon, Mo-, and
other breeders will join in q public sale
of Scotch and Scotch topped Short
horn cattle, to. be held at Mexico, Mo-,
November 3rd. They have catalogued
sixty three head of bulls, COWS and
heifers of which fifteen are Cruick-
shanks Of such well known families as
the Violets, Floras and SYPHILIS. The
Cruickshank -Violets are everywhere
recognized as the oldest and conse-
quently one Of the favorite families
bred at Sittyton. The Floras descend
from Imp. Flora 18th by Perfection,
which gave such good results in the
herd of F. Bellows & Sons, and, among
others, produced the champion show
and breeding bull, Scottish King
117s14, now at the head of q prominent
Ohio herd. The SYPHILIS descend from
Imp. Sybil 18th, bred by Amos Cruick-
shank and sired by Red Gauntlet, a
full brother to the celebrated Roam
Gauntlet. This has been one of Mr..
Emmons' favorite families, and has
produced some OF the choicest things
which have come from his herd.
Among the bulls will be found several
suitable for heading first class herds.
The females, as a lot, are such as
breeders and beginners can buy with
confidence. While they are in strong
thrifty breeding condition they have
not been over fed, and are the sort
calculated to give satisfaction to their
future owners. We cannot more
forcibly indicate the value and
character of the offering than to give
q list Of the bulls whose get will be in
the sale. Among them are such noted
Cruickshank sires as Victoris Baron

der OF Audrain 1924, Lavender King
Sd 99024, Duke Abbottsburn 1866,
Frederick Hero 1925, etc. Victoria
Baron is one of the richest bred Oruick-
shank Victoria bulls In America, and,
as an individual and sire, has few
equals. His gets are noted for their
splendid head, uniform blocky build,
excellent mellow hides, and the very
best OF thick, mossy coats Of hair. They
are distinctively of the type of quick
feeding, early maturing cattle for
which Scotch Shorthorns are noted.
Prince Rupert was bred by Dol. W.
A. Harris, sired by Imp. Thistletop
and out Of a dam by Imp. Baron Vio-
tor. BE and Victor Baron have been
