RISE OF SCOTCH POWER IN AMERICA. 675 



importations from England to Ontario were 

 supplemented by purchases of stock of English 

 descent made in the States. 



The landing of Baron Booth of Lancaster and 

 Rosedale on Canadian soil by Mr. Cochrane in 

 1867, followed by their sale and triumphant 



blood, although his first shipment, made in 1874, contained several Booths 

 from the herd of Raymond Bruere. In 18T6 the Canada West Farm Stock 

 Association, reference to which is made on page 511, made heavy importa- 

 tions, chiefly of Bates blood, from leading English herds. 



Between 1875 and 1880 Prof. G. Lawson imported some twenty-five head, 

 representing a wide range of English blood, for the Central Board of Agri- 

 culture of Halifax, Nova Scotia. 



In 1876 Thomas Boak of Milton imported the roan cow Farewell and her 

 bull calf from the herd of Robt. Thompson of Inglewood, whose subse- 

 quent successes in the English show-yard with the great Mollie Millicent 

 and other noted prize winners gave his stock great celebrity. Along with 

 this Thompson cow came the roan bull Duke of Cumberland (58590). 



In 1879 Wm. Linton of Aurora, received from the Linton herd at Sheriff 

 Hutton, Yorkshire, England, the cow Rachel, heifer calf Sheriff Hutton 

 Rose and the young bull British Hero (39506) ; both of the latter sired by the 

 famous Sir Arthur Ingram (32490). In 1883 he received from the same source 

 the cows Snowdrop and Fame 2d. 



Between 1870 and 1881 Messrs, J. & R. Hunter of Alma, made several im- 

 portations of Booth-bred cattle from the herds of Hugh Aylmer and T. E. 

 Pawlett. We believe they also imported one Cruickshank heifer in the 

 early " seventies," and they also had from J. Whyte of Aberdeenshire, the 

 Booth bull Knight of Warlaby 20163. 



In 1881 the Government of St. John's, New Brunswick, imported a half- 

 dozen heifers from the herds of Hugh Aylmer of Norfolk, and T. Marshall 

 of Annan, Scotland, together with the bulls Bellman (44406) and Musketeer, 

 bred by the Messrs. Mitchell of Alloa, Scotland. 



From 1879 to 1883 W. Murray of Chesterfield, made several shipments 

 from England, including Grand Duchess of Oxford 69th and 5th Duke of 

 Holker (44687) from the herd of the Duke of Devonshire. Mr. Murray's im- 

 portations represented the best Bates tribes. 



. Mr. H. Y. Attrill, a capitalist with large business interests in the United 

 States and Canada, and the owner of a farm at Goderich, Ontario, imported 

 in 1881 Grand Duchesses 28th and 35th, bred by R. E. Oliver of Sholebroke 

 Lodge, and the roan Bates Duchess bull 5th Duke of Tregunter (38743). In 

 1883 he imported two Grand Duchesses of Oxford, one Baroness Oxford, one 

 Winsome Wild Eyes and a Barrington from the herd of the Duke of Devon- 

 shire. 



Richard Gibson made extensive Importations of Bates cattle from 1881 

 to 1883, most of which were sold at good prices to breeders in the States.
