GALLOWAY CATTLE.
Farmers will be well paid to visit John
p. Jewett's farm and look at his thorough.
bred black Galloway cattle. None in this
part OF the state can equal them. A III are
registered in the American Galloway herd
book.
The bull, George Stewart, No. 1929,
will be two years old July is next. He is
a splendid animal with a wealth OF Jet
black curly hair, estimated to weigh 1900
pounds and so strong in the blood that,
crossed with any other breed, the grade
will look as pure as the full bloods. Gal
loway skins are valuable and bring great
prices for robes, some even preferring them
to the black bear. A yearling or 2 year
old, killed for beef, the pelt will bring
more than the meat. 1
The writer being somewhat acquainted
with Kansas herd that was shown at the
Detroit exposition and afterward in Chi ,
cago at the Worlds fair, was told they
had sold skins for 800 each. One sold at
the Dominion fair Ia Toronto last year for
$50. All Right, one OF Johns heifers, No.
10, 22i, two year sold Sept. 4, dropped a
heller calf May 20. The little
miss is a dandy and her curly coat is
greatly admired. She will be registerde az
May Blossom. Dorothy, s. b., No. Il. 443,
will be three years old August 10 next
and is due to come In July list. Some {
criticise this breed as not being great ,
but All Right puts in a grand APP /
pearance, contradicting any such impress
sion. 1t would be hard to find better ,
prospect for dairy COW than this 2-year-
Did heifer.
