REGISTERED HOLSTEINS AT PU3LIC AUCTION. March 15, 1915. Kukelhan Bros., breeders of the finest Holstein cattle in Adams county, will offer at public auction at the Decatur Horse Sale barns on First street on March 15, 1915, the following head of Holstein and extra high grade cattle: Sixty-five head of registered Holstein, lo neaa or nigh grade cows. Most of these cows are bred to the herd bull, Sir Korndyke, Daisy Veeman, 70122, whose dam and grand-dam average 30.42 pounds of butterfat in 7 days, 125 pounds butter in thirty days. Among these cows some have records up to 22 lbs. butter in 7 days, and 2 year old heifers up to 16.53 lbs. butter in 7 days. A number of these cows have been fresh recently. Others are nearby springers. Eight bulls, some old enough for service. These cattle trace to such noted blood lines, King Segis De Koi 2nd, Butter Boy 3, King of the Pontiacs, and Korndyke breeding. The dam of our herd bull was sold a year ago last June in Syracuse, N. Y., for $1,950. and will undoubtedly raise her present record. In this sale will be a heifer sired by a half-brother to K. P. Pontiac Lass, who made 44.18 lbs. butter in 7 days, the present world’*s record. Many others are bred just as well. Here will be a bargain to get into the Holstein cattle, the most leading dairy cattle in U. S. Catalogues will be ready February 10, 1915. Terms: —Cash, unless other arrangements are made before the sale. KUKELHAN BROS. Hager, Reppert, Spuhler, Aucts. All connections to Decatur can be easily made, over Pennsylvania, N. V.
