SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 11 



more or less of Booth bloood have always been used by the present 

 owner, and when a cow has gone to Warlaby for service and the 

 produce resulted in a bull, it has been used. 



Taking the cows we saw in their turn, Clarice, by Mr. Stani- 

 forth's Clarion, is a straight good cow, the dain of several daughters 

 in the herd. Lady Margaret is suckling a strong bull calf, and 

 Villete, by the home-bred Fitz Royal 43230 is doing a couple of 

 calves exceedingly well if appearances must decide, while her half- 

 sister Vensela, is also a good dairy cow ; their dam Verbena died 

 from milk fever. One of the best looking cows is Queen Hatty, by 

 Mr. T. C. Booth's King Harold, and the dam of Eavenlock by 

 another Warlaby bull King David whose term of service is just 

 expiring, and it is sad to see so lengthy a good looking bull destined 

 for the shambles. Queen Anuora, one of the Windsor Cherry sort 

 from Lune Bank, has a wonderful udder and is the dam of 

 Queen Annie, by Lord Bolton's Preston Lad. 



We are especially pleased with a pair cf very nice two-year- 

 old heifers, Snow Queen, by the Duke of Northumberland's Snow 

 King from Queen Hatty and sister to Ravenlock and Lady 

 Clarence, one of Ravenlock's daughters. The former is our pre- 

 ference, being so well covered over her crops and well sprung in 

 her rib, but for depth of chest she can hardly compete with Lady 

 Clarence, a heifer of nice quality. 



Calling a second time at Studley, we found Royalist had 

 departed, and Eastern Prince, bred at Alnwick, by Eastern Emperor 

 from Daisy's Pride, of good old Angus blood, reigned in his stead ; 

 a very lengthy bull, well fleshed and with a wonderful back and 

 rib. Three cow calves, all of a uniform red, by Royal James a son 

 of Master of Arts and Lady James of short but almost pure Booth 

 descent have arrived since our previous visit at Studley, they 

 are very promising, especially the one from Star of Braithwaite, a 

 cow by Mr. R. S. Bruere's St. Swithin's Star Drop. Royal James 

 is also sire of two more heifers, one from Queen Annora, and the 

 other out of Ravina has now six registered crosses in addition 

 to the seventh ancestress, being described as a '* Prize Dairy Cow. J>
