,. Berry Of Chicago, whose expcriance,
commencing on the farm In York County
has broadened until it h world wide.
For this reason hls words have added

Of hearing Mr.. Berry at Rochester, New
York, We note the following valuable
suggestions from his practical talk on
the animal he loves.

most important step 10 the selection or

ssNever check growth one particle. The

"You can produce anything you want
to, only keep the object Ia mind and al
low no breaks. The spots Of neglect are
what spoil the horse. Labor 70 the
foundation Of all success and the sue
cessful breeder must labor 70 produce
something little ahead OF the market.
C. j. Hamiin started With this ideal and
has kept everlastingly at it Until nov.
No wonder be has made success. No
