HE SHORTHORN OF TO-DAY.
''In an article on Shorthorn breeding contributed by Mr. Robert Bruce to tho "Breeders' Gazette" (Chicago),' he says:/"Without a single qualification, J. , affirm that in Great Britain to-day ire'hard ii more thrifty and in every sense'a better class of Shorthorns than at any fdrmer time in the history of the breed! There aro indications that .history . may, to some repeat 'itself, and that certain families. may in tho future , receive' more attention than their.merits, should or 1 would war-, rant.' Any. extravagance in this direction is likely to be held , in check through the production of high-class prize-winning animals, the result of jiidicious blending of different strains of blood.by the largo number of practical men now eiigaged in breeding pedigree Shorthorn cattle. From 1901 to 1008 inclusive, 16,782 animals averaged £33 lis. Sd., an inoreass of nearly 30 per cent, over the previous ten-year's."
