head of many of the largesI

buttons in the world. | have only
taken you back to the early
development of this grand breed
of cattle 300 or 400 years. We are
told, however, that there hangs
on the wall IN the archives ot
Rome a picture of the outlines
and general character of which
portray almost a perfect type of
the Short-horn of today.
For fear Of being tedious with
these historical sketches, let us
at once come to our own native
land. About the last of the
18th and first part of the 10th
centuries, these cattle began to
be imported into Virginia, New
York and other caste I'm and
middle states; they, at once,
became popular and took first
rank among the more progressive
farmers Of the east and middle
west. Many of the early inpor.
tations we're made into the Ohio
river country and later found
its Mecca on the bluegrass
lands of Kentucky. Among these
early importers and breeders
appear such names as Renick
CLAY, Sanders, Cunningham,
Warfield, Bedford and a host Of
others. The first American short
horn herd book being founded
by Lewis +. Allen of New York
and at one time our late presi-
dent, Grover Cleveland, was
chief clerk for Mr.. Allen. Later
the Kentucky Short-horn and
the Ohio Record were published

Calendar back a foil century
and a half or two centuries and
we find a breed of cattle on the

Valley of the River Tees
race of the bovine family, said
by the historians to have sur
passed all other breeds in point
of excellence DIS a farmers COW.
Her superiority being in the
facts, the aptitude to take on
flesh, quiet disposition, symme-

withal a good mixer. This
breed was called then the Dur

Other cattle in this locality and

these men build monuments

many of them who were tenants

For the most part these cattle
had for their early development
and environments the rich and
grasses, roots and grain,

Superintendent Harrison succeeded,
however, In securing $500 Of this
appropriation; the board of managers
entered into a contract with the st.

build the switch, and appropriated and

Also as the short horn is always
the first to enter q vast desert
filled with the native scrub,
they have for the last century
laid the strata upon which all
other breeds build their fame.
The short-horn is truly a
pioneer, contemporary with the
Anglo Saxon race-a forerunner
of the highest type Of modern
civilization. Where ever the
Englishman and Scotchman, or
any Of the best continental races
go, the shorn-horn is sure to fol.
low.
Man lays tribute on the entire
animal kingdom, but the palates
that are fed by the best sirloin,
porterhouse OF choice roasts,
have been able by their superior
physical and mental ability to
conquer the world.
This occasion does not demand.
neither does time permit. the
discussion of constructive breed.
ing suffice it to say, few there
be who produce better or as good
animals as they buy. Neglect
and want or persistent effort are
sure to lead to degeneration in
man as well as beast. Financial
success is usually the measure
Vne world places on a mans
e"ort along any business line.
