10 SHORTHORN HKRDS OF ENGLAND. 



group of three own sisters by Knight of Windermere from 

 Revivalist, a daughter of the cow bought at Earnley, Rebel Queen 

 and Reaction were calved in January and December of the following 

 year, and we consider the " Queen " very rightly named, as she is 

 the best looking of the three and of larger scale than her sisters. 

 Baron, a heavy fleshed, wide topped, level animal of good 

 masculine appearance, is at the head of the herd ; he was bred at 

 AVest Perehain by Sir Benedict, from Castanet 4th, of Mr. Booth's 

 Paine tribe. Amongst the younger stock, Consultation, a lengthy 

 roan calf from Conference is in good bloom and intended for local 

 show yards ; her half-sister and companion a red and white from 

 Rebel Queen traces to Mr. Booth's Young Alexina by Pilot, 49ti,

 we have omitted to notice Lady Laura, a neat roan cow by Mr. T. 

 C. Booth's King Harry, out of Lady Lowndes, purchased at the

 hardly find it possible to part with those relicts of the past, 

 especially when Royalist, a son of Royal Stuart, and Maraquita is 

 here from. Warlaby. Mr. Yeats' father bred short-horns at 

 Grantley, and after his death the herd was removed to Studley in '52. 

 Every shorthorn on the farm has been bred by Mr. Geo. Yeats 

 with the exception of the stud bull. A large portion of the herd 

 trace to a cow called Moss Rose by Lofty 2217, which has divided 

 itself into three branches, the most numerous having Empress 

 Eugenie by Emperor 12838, for ancestress : with the exception of 

 Windsor Cherry, by Royal Windsor, bred by Mr. R. F. Housman, 

 of Lime Bank, and a short pedigree of Mr. Yeats' own " raising," 

 all the rest of the females descend thro' Moss Rose. Bulls having
