HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 429 markably good, Mr. Culbertson taking the herd premiums over all breeds. At the Nebraska State Fair Mr. G. S. Burleigh, of Mechan- icsville, la.; Messrs. A. A. Crane & Son, of Osco, 111., and Messrs. Swan Bros., of Chey- enne, Wyo., were the exhibitors. This show of Herefords was remarkably good, both in num- ber and quality. The "Xebraska Farmer" of- fered a special premium for the best cow, steer or heifer in the show of any breed. This was won by Mr. G. S. Burleigh, of Mechaniesville, la., with his Hereford Princess B.

Culbertson was an exhibitor, as was Mr. Thos. Clark, of Beecher, and Tom C. Ponting, of Stoningtou, Illinois. The show was very good. At the St. Louis Fair, the exhibitors were Culbertson and Clark. It was out of place, when the stockmen and farmers of the country were making earnest inquiry for the best breed, that the Shorthorns should be drawn off. This list that we have given, though far from complete, shows how wide the range the Hereford had taken, in 1880. From Maine to Cheyenne on the north, and from Maryland to St. Louis on the south. A complete account would have carried us to Kansas City and Central Kansas, and when we further consider the fact that five hundred Herefords were brought from England that year and that none of these reached the show ground except the herd of Messrs. Burleigh & Bodwell, of Maine, the Hereford breeders had a right to feel encouraged by the progress the breed was makin?. PURE HEREFORD. Av. gain Name A
