A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO STOOK-FARMING.
CANYON CITY, TEXAS, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY, 13, 1902.
NO. 46
VOL V.
February 25, 26 and 27 should be on every Hereford man's cal
endar in red figures, for these are the dates on which Gudgell
& Simpson, Scott & March, O. Harris, Steward & Hutcheon, C.
A. Stannard, Frank Rockefeller, Walter B. Waddell and Mrs. C.
S. Cross announce that they will sell at Kansas City "the best
200 head of registered Herefords to be sold during the year"
When breeders as conservative as are the ones interested in this
sale make an assertion of that kind it is pretty sate to bank upon
it. Such being the case the 200 head that will be sold will afford
anyone who can buy Herefords the very best possible chance for
doing so? It is good cattle, and good cattle only, that a Hereford
breeder should buy. There is material in this sale that will im
prove any herd in the country, and the beginner who takes ad
vantage of an occasion of this kind to purchase his foundation
stock has two-thiids of the battle won. This is the annual sale
. in which each of the contributors It ads forth the best of his cat
tle and says to the public: "There they are. That is the best I
can do." Each contributor is offering the best results of his
work as a breeder. The cattle to be sold have not been purchased
for speculative purposes, but are the best specimens that these
eiirht breeding establishments with their large annual increase
can put out. It is doubtlul if any other sale with a like number of
cattle involved has contained so few bred by others than the con
tributors. The consignors are not using their names and reputa
tions to sell cattle of any other breeding than the kind upon
which their names and reputations have been built. And there
will be plenty of them. One hundred and twenty females and
eighty bulls from a larger offering than is usual, and coming as
this does after the numerous sales of the past six months no
sensational prices are anticipated. In fact, the conditions are
such that is highly probable that tbe buyers present will be able
to pick up a great many plums at less than they could be pur
chased for privately. All females old enough have been bred to
the various herd bulls of their owner, and this includes the ma
jority of the females in the sale. Such great sires as Dandy Rex,
Java, Benjamin Wilton, Columbus 17th, Wild Tom, Keep On,
Militant and numerous others of the same high merit have been
used, and the value of calves from these grand females by such
bulls cannot be over-estimated. The bulls to be sold are of the
breeding and individuality that can be used to advantage in
every pure bred herd in the country. The bull contingent is full
of "herd headers" but the large number to be sold eighty
maket it extremely likely that many of them will go at farmers'
prices. Don't miss this sale. Catalogues may be hap by address
ing Gudgell & Simpson, Independance, Mo.

It is a mark of provincialism
and lack of good form for peo

March Delineator, or for a man
to walk between two ladies; bis
place is at the outside of the
walk. If a laCfys very old or

it is unnecessary and is not tbe
