half page advertisement for Mr.. ]. A.
Richardson, of Wall Lake, who will
hold a dispersion sale of 60 head of
Scotch and Scotch topped Shorthorns

herds here in the west. There will
be 40 head of Scotch females in the

This includes his great herd bull,
Elanwood Sultan, a grandson Of the
noted bull, Imp. Whitehall Sultan.
This bull was shown at Des Moines as
calf and was conspicuous winner,
and he has since developed into a
most excellent herd bull. In fact he
Is one of the best herd bulls that we
know of that is selling in any public
auction this spring. He belongs to
the famous MARI Raspberry tribe and
he is just such a bull as most breed
ers will do we'll to buy and place at
the head of their herd. Many Of the
cows are bred to him and many Of the
heifers and young bulls are sired by
him. Another splendid young bull in
this sale is Cumberland 9Th, a Is,
months old calf sired by the noted
show and breeding bull, Cumberland
Sd. He is a Cruickshank Butterfly
and was the best young bull raised by
Elmer Powell this year. He bought
this bull to breed to a few heifers and
several of these are in calf to him.
There is a good Mari. Beauty bull in
the sale and several others that are
Scotch. Among the, splendid Scotch
cows are Rose Lenton. a daughter OF
Pride's Best, and she will be close to
calving on sale day. Gardenia Sd, by
the same sire and out of a dam by
Red knight, will also have calf by
sale day. This COW has a splendid
yearling heifer in the sale. she be-
longs to the famous Gardenia family.
Belle and Marsh, both by Sultan's
Boy, are both close to- calving and the
last named COW has a yearling, and
a two year old heifer in the sale. One,
Of these is a Miss Ramsden and the
other a Warehouses. Another splen-
did COW is Eliza ed, and she will have
a calf by sale time. These are just a
few of the best cows that are listed in
this auction, There will be about Is
good young heifers, and about half of
these are bred and safe in calf. Mr..
