DISPERSAL OF THE GREAT BROOKSIDE HERD. The greatest dispersion sale of pure bred dairy cattle in the history of the â world took place at Liverpool, N. Y., on May 15, 16 and 17, when the great Brookside herd, founded in 1875 by the late Henry Stevens, of Lacona, N. T., and later owned and brought to a high state of perfection by his two sons, Ward W. and Ralph J. Stevens, was placed under tie hammer and sold for the magnificent sum of $242,665. There were 309 head and the average price worked out at $785, the two highest priced animals being the famous sire. King of the Pontiacs, who sold for $10,500, and the finely bred King Model, who was knocked down at $10,400. N. W. Salmon of Glenfield, N. Y., purchased the former and H. Perkins & Son and M. Phillip, of Red Creek, N. Y., the latter. Naturally the event drew Holstein breeders and dairy cattle fanciers from all parts of the country, nearly every state in the Union being repre- sented. The wide publicity and per- sistent advertising of the sale, as well as the nigh reputation of the herd, drew a magnificent crowd of buyers, men who today are reckoned among the elite of the Holstein industry, and who are giving freely of their time, money and brains toward the develop- ing of this great breed of dairy cattle. The sale was a veritable triumph for the owners of the herd and formed a fitting climax to the courageous and optimistic foresight of the late Henry Stevens, whose faithful adherence to the breed, back in the days when there was a tremendous prejudice against the Black-and-Whites, has borne fruit and given proof
