SALE OF JERSEY CATTLE.

High Prices at Tuakau.

On October Ist at Tuakau, Messrs Alfred Buckland and Sons offered Mr Graham's pedigree Jersey cattle at auction. From all points of view the sale was a huge success. The following were the prices realised.

Bridal Rosebud 11. (Sire. Snowball ; dam, Bridal Rosebud). Furchased by Mr W. McGowan of Papatoetoe for 40gns. Golden Rosebud (Sire, Golden Fox 111, by Majesty's Fox; dam, Bridal Rosebud II.) Purchased by Mrs W. 1 Montefiore, Te Awamutu, 42gns. Tuakau Rosebud (Full sister of Golden Rosebud.) Purchaser Mr Greenway, buckland, 42gns. Rosebud's Golden Fox (Full brother of Golden Rasebud.)

Walters of Puni, for 92gns This cow realised top price of the sale and without doubt she is the best cow in the district. Mr Graham imformed a Times reporter that the beast calved on April 6th 1917. She was 13 months and 13 days of <age when she gave birth to her first calf. During the 2.] years he has had her she has averaged £8 2s per month. The total revenue Mr Grahim derived from her during the period he has owned her was £343. This is derived from the difference in the price he paid for her, and the selling price, together with her progeny and butter-fat. This must be considered a very satisfactory figure.
