best, and then concluded to found, II
possible, Hereford herd second TO none

the champion herd. From there to the
Indiana, Illinois, and finally to the
Trans Mississippi Exposition, Omaha,
Neb., where 1t maintained its champion
honOrs at all OF these exhibitions the
most successful record of any Hereford
herd in recent years. At the Indiana
State fair 1t won the highest cash prize
offered in this country in 1898. The 80
head, 10 bulls and 81 cows and helfers
that will go in the sale will include the
two very excellent herd bulls, Gold Dol
lar 1862, the best living son of Earl of
Shadeland 22d The otner one, Lamp
lighter Jr. 69251, bred by Gudgell &
Simpson, the well-knOwn and success
ful Missouri breeders at independence.
A major portion Of the females will have
been bred and safe in calf to either the
champion, Dale 66481, Gold Dollar 1862,
or Lamplighter Jr. 69251. The prOspec-
tive buyer can rest assured that the Nave
cattle are all good ones and the entire

quirement as the most fastidious breed
