800 has been the herd sire for some
time; but good as he is, Mr.. futile has
| long cherished q desire to have a bull of
q certain line of breeding, and at the
Brattleboro sale this month he secured
his ideal, both in breeding and individ-
uality. Maplemont Sir Fayne Henger-
weld is grandson of Pictie 22d s
| Woodcrest Lad, q son of the great
transmitting sire, Homestead Girl De
| Kol Sarcastic Lad and Pietie 22d, the
highest record COW ever imported. The
dam of Maplemont Sir Fayne Henger

from granddaughter of Pietie Hen
gerveld 8 Count DeKol, full brother in
blood to the great SIRE Hengerveld De

pounds milk in seven days and 12O.S0
pounds butter and 2,S03.70 pounds milk
in 80 days, 10l.60 pounds milk in one
day.. On his sire s side this splendid
young bull is a grandson of King Hen
gerveld Aaggie Fayne, who is the only
sire to have eight daughters, all three
years or under, which average over so
pounds butter in seven days. One of
these is Finderne Holingen Fayne
holder of the world s butter record in
the junior three-y earold division from
one day to one year. She is a half
sister to Mr.. futile S new herd sire
whose pedigree contains many other ia
nous milk and butter families. The
extraordinary capacity of his dam and
the wonderful records made by mem
bers of the Hengerveld and Fayne fam
lies coupled with his excellent indi-
viduaity, should make the future
: daughters of this young sire rank high
among the leading producers of the
breed. Under the skillful handling of
his new owners there is little doubt
but what King Segis Inka Fayne Cd
