Buffalo, October /, 1874. Dear Sir: ' '^ Permit us to call your attention to the value of the American Hf.rd Book, as a me.dium through which to bring your stock to the notice of Short-horn breeders in the United States as well as in the Canadas. Many Canadian breeders, and among them the piost prominent, recognize the fact that the Canadian demand alone is not sufficient to take their surplus animals, and that they must rely largely on the great an,] constantly increasing demand of our Western States, which exceeds even the capacity of American breeders. This was amply witnessed at the late Canadian sales, where American purchasers were largely in the majority. In most cases there will be no difficulty in tracing the pedigree, as nearly all Canadian thoroughbreds descend from stock already recorded in the American Herd Book. The Circular for the next Volume (14) gives all necessary information, and will be sent to you on application. L. F. ALLEN, Editor. Wm. T. Baii.ey, Assistant.
