THOSE IMPORTED BULLS.

Denison has become headquarters
Tor Aberdeen-Angus cattle of America.
and the Premier Herd belonging to w.
A. McHenry has become noted at home
and abroad. There is no reason whv
they should not stand at the head. MIR.
McHenry has from the foundation pur-
chased nothing that was moi of the
very best in individuality and in breed
ing. 1t will be remembered that this
is the home of Abbess, the champion
over all breeds at the Worlds Fair,
and Progress, her half sister, that was
only second at the same fair. and Nell
Gwynne, that was also the champion
over all breeds in the two-year-old
class, while Jeans Abactor I'd, gained
second prize over all breeds, In all.
this herd gained t%wenty-four prizes
and 100000 in cash. They have been
champions oyer all herds at the great
Illinois state fair called the 'sRoyal,
show OF America. Mr.. McHenry pur-
chased the great show COW Lucia Estill
at the recent sale paying $500. 90 for
her and also the 10th Laird, that was
the champion two year old bull last
year, and the champion yearling heifer
Lucy Estill 7th. Not content with this
he has imported two of the best breed
ing bulls he could find from Scotland.
the Trojan Erica bull Edyrn, was bred
by Sir George Mcpherson Grant Baro-
net, who has taken more prizes than
any man OF recent years, his bulls have
repeatedly been champions, and it was
by one of these champions that Edyrn
was sired by Byon, that cost $500. 90.
Edyrn is an excellent type OF a bull
low down, wide out, thick 1eshed,
sappy, with a coat as fine as silk, has a
clean cut head and neck, and has that
Intelligent look and breedy character
that denotes excellent breeding. The
other bull: P~roteros, belongs to that
Royal family, the Pride of Aberdeen,
established by Hon. VIM. McCombie of
Aberdeen, who carried everything be-
fore him at the Paris exposition, where
the Pride of Aberdeen carried every
thing before her. beating sixty females
OF other breeds. Proteros is an excel
lent individual and is a worthy repre-
sentative of this ancient family. With
the 100 females in the Premier Herd
we shall look forward with interest to
see the result of this infusion of fresh
blood. We can only wish Mr.. Nc
Henry a continuation of his success as
an Aberdeen-Angus breeder. He has
just sold two excellent Queen Mother
bulls to the Hon. VIM. Husenetter of
Linwood, Neb. This gentleman is all
his name indicates, one of those self
made German-Amerlcans that went to
Nebraska in an early day and by strict
attention to business has a fine farm of
1900 acres on the Platt river, and has
it stocked with two hundred Short
horn COWS. He says he has heard of
so much of these market toppers, the
Aberdeen-Angus that sold last Christ
mas at $3.50 per hundred, that he came
to the conclusion that he must follow
the band wagon too, we'll we can only
admire his Judgment and wish him
success.

Inc MORO was captured in 1898 by the
Earl OF Cumberland, but disease weak

held full sway and scared most of the
colonists back to Spain. The British
took San Juan again in 1878, but their

the coast by a storm. In 1902 they at
