SHELDON, WHITE SPRING FARM, GENEVA, -|^, Y. BUFFALO: FRANKLIN PRINTING HOUSE.' 1867. CIRCULAE. In issuing this Catalogue, I cannot forbear expressing my deep regret at tlie re- tirement of Mr. Thorne from breeding. This regret, I Icnow, will be shared by all breeders and admirers of Improved Short Horned Cattle, as well as by all interested in the improvement of the stock of this country. The reputation of Mr. Thome's herd, and his celebrity as a breeder, are well known throughout the world. His perfect success in breeding is attested by the large number of fine animals he has sent to England, where they have been sold at very high prices, and are at present very highly esteemed, taking their posi- tion among the very best in Great Britain. I consider myself fortunate in being able to secure a herd so justly meritorious; and hope, by the union of the blood of Mr. Thome's herd with my own, to be able to secure most happy results. I am at present offering quite a number of animals, of both sexes, from both herds, and shall be happy to show Ihem to the public. My farm is one mile west of the village of Geneva, on the New York Central Railroad. Catalogues can be had on application. JAMES O. SHELDON, White Spkino Faem, ' Geneva, N.
