beautiful home, Montana Hall. in
Clarke county, thirteen head of thor
oughbred Hereford cattle Il bull. 6
COWS, and 6 heifers.) This stock is
considered the finest that money can
buy, and no doubt is the best bred
cattle ever brought into Virginia.
The six cows and bull were imported

the celebrated herds of John Price.
of Pembridge, England, who is one
of the widest known cattle breeders
In all Europe. Five of the calves
this year sold for 81 800. and one

brought remarkably high prices, as
is shown by the fact that $50 head of
bulls and cows sold for sol $50.
We are glad that Mr.. Conrad has
