S1s,500 REFUSED FOR BULL

Rothrock of Spokane, has in the show
10 head of registered Shorthorns, most

the famous bull for which $1S,500 was
refused this year by his owners. Gain
ford Perfection was indicated in Can
ada in 1914 and 1915. He has sired
stuff that has been winning in the
leading shows of the northwest for the
past three years. Three of his calves
won the get of sire at the great Short
horn congress in Chicago last Febru-
airy. These three calves sold for over
$4,000. 1t was as a result of this big
winning in Chicago that the cash offer

more than twice that amount to in
duce the owners to part with this re-
markable bull.
