Field, Massachusetts; the imported cow, "Lady Johanna Piebe De Kol"; and the imported herd sire, "Abbekerk Marquis of Sunnycroft," one of the famouß Colantha strain. The catalogue, which comprises 27 cows, 24 heifers, 11 calves, and 8 bull?, presents to lovers of the black and white a splendid opportunity to secure fresh and profitable strains of blood from highly productive families, and the date having been fixed for November 4, the day preceding the opening of the Manawatu A. and. P. Association's Spring Show, will enable prospective buyers to combine business with pleasure.
