The Earl of Airdrie is a solid red, unusually large for 4iis age, and of great bone and substance. Next comes Gauntlet, a rich roan-colored yearling, sired by the same famous animal, out of San- pareil 12th. Gauntlet was shown when a calf, at all the leading fairs, both in Canada and the United States, taking the silver medal at Heeefords.—Now, having briefly made men- tion of a few of the most noted Shorthorn males in use on this ranch, we will also briefly notice the Hereford part of the herd, and in doing so think it sufficient to merely mention that they are the best that money would buy, the most of them being the get of T. L. Miller's Imported Success, Seventy-six and other im- ported bulls, costing way up in the hundreds per head.

That one is Prince Arthur, which is in all probabil- ity the purest bred animal on the continent; resembling in form a huge Berkshire pig. Prince Arthur is out of Princess Royal, Im- ported, by Vanguard, out of the grand Manta- iine tribe. Herefords
