HEREFORD HERO Of COL.
TAYLOR GREATEST EVER
Writer in Cattle Journal Tells
OF Visit to Splendid Farm
In WOOdfOrd.

Under the caption therefore,
Farms" the American Hereford
journal contained the following in
teresting account of the visit of 9
correspondent to the magnificent
Woodford county estate of Col. f. II
Taylor, JF., of Frankfort:
"The greatest herd of Herefords
ever assembled on either continent
IS TO be seen on Hereford Farms
Frankfort, KY, the property Of Col
T.. II. Taylor, Jr., who in recent years
has done more than any other one
man to populaIize and encourage
the breeding Of high-class Herefords
on both sides the Atlantic. To visit
this unique establishment in Wood
ford county, KY, where 1000 acres
have been turned over to the produc-
ton OF high-class breeding cattle
and market-topping beef and mutton,
is a pleasure and a privilege never
TO he forgotten.
"In company with the enthusiastic
owner, Col T.. II. Taylor, Jr., and his
enteiprising manager, j. c. kinzer,
IL was the writer's good fortune to
inspect the 400 odd head of breeding
Herefords on the different farms.
Improvement and expansion meet
you and impress you wherever you
cast your eve. Nature has been
prodigal on these beautiful farms,
but even nature has been coaXed and
encouraged to the limit, till it is now
one grand panorama at which one
never tires in admiration and won
der.
among tho latest acquisitions is
n new cattle barn POS feet long by
60 feet wide, with two wings g. by
~ feet, containing As large box
stalls with room enough for 200 head
Of cattle and 700 tons of hay and
straw overhead In keeping with ev-
crythinC Col Taylor has done, it is
model of convenience, ventilation and
sanitation, substantial rather than
ornamental, the comfort Of the ami
mails having been given first impor-
tance, and rightly so. But
we left Chicago with a double pur-
pose in mind, not only to see Here
ford Farms at their best. but
wanted to see the great WOodfOrd
again, the bull that is making his
tory not only for Kentucky, but for
the Hereford breed at large. Happi-
" we found him as we had hoped to
find him, in his everyday habit, hav-
ing made an extra heavy season with
close to so cows settled to his SER
vice and looking hale and hearty,
by capital lot Of his
sons, and best of all his grandsons
are beginning to appear on the scene
and coming in such true form that
Woodford's future is no longer
question, except as to how great his
reputation will be through genera
tons yet unborn.
Imported Western Prince has
been used to good advantage. He
has a number of strong. rugged
calves in the pens that will be de-
and given an opportunity to
introduce a few outcrosses on the
English winners that are at times
quite desirable in our breeding op-
erations. To assist them in their
work Premier Donald by Beau Per-
lection list, dam Lady Donal 37th by
Sir Donald 18th. wa. secured. He
was bred by Douthitt & Jones and is
one of these easy-keeping, early-ma-
turing, thick-fleshers that is emil
nently fitted for certain cows in ev-
rrv herd.
