PEDIGREE FRIESIANS. At Lepperton, near New Plymouth, on Friday, June 28, the dispersal salo on account of Messrs. Clifford Bros, will be conducted by Mr. Nowton King. The catalogs containing the extended pedigrees of the cattle to be sold has now been in circulation some time, and it is safe to say that there has not as yet been offered in New Zealand such a high class line of Frlesltms as displayed in this catalogue. Lady Cllfden of A3lilynn is a three-quarter sister to the champion New Zealand butterfat cow. Her sire (Grace's Netherland of Riverside) is the sire of the New Zealand champion butterfat cow, and lias 10 c.o.m. daughters with an average of 594 lbs butterfat. Morning Rose, lot No. 3 in the catalogue, is out of Rozine 3rd. de Kol, a cow which produced 459.861bs butterfat, and is by Sir do Kol Inka Pietertje, the aire of 13 c.ora. daughters. Grace Moyne of Ashiyna.is by the same sire as Lady Cllfden of Aslilyn, and was until quite recently the champion senior 4-year-old of New Zealand, with a record of Tlllibs lat. This cow, as are most of the cows, la in calf to that old champion King Fayne Segis 2nd (Imp.). In the young cattle to be offered are somo outstanding animals that should be hoard of in both the show and official record reports in coming years. The quality in this part of the catalogue cannot be questioned. They are undoubtedly a magnificent lot. Should any fancier during the next few days care to inspect the herd, the vendors will be very pleased to show him round, and give him every available particulars about any of the animals. The records that sevoral of the cows have already put up for this season will be displayed at the Bale, and will not disgrace the breed.

Clifford Bros, will arrange to truck any cattle for outside buyers, and take every care of same. Any breeder or fancier who'has not as yet secured a, catalogue of the sale should apply to the auctioneer at once.
