The registered herd of milking Shorthorns realised the following prices; Best cows 43 to 60 guineas, and up to 81 guineas for the cow “Lena,” with a good milk ' record, and HI guineas for the well-known prize-taking oow “Beauty," who has an exceptionally good milking record. Other cows made from 'ls j.to’ 32 guineas. The top prices' for trwd-year heifers were 69 and 67 guineas for daughters of “Beauty” and “Lena" respectively. Other heifers made 24 to 50 guineas, and small and backward sorts 8 to 18 guineas.
