SHORTHORN HERJ)S OF ENGLAND. 21 



but cam a to Kaber Fold from Eden Bank, they are only represented 

 in the female line at present by a heifer unseen at an off farm, with 

 some others chiefly Prince Rupert's stock, which unfortunately 

 limited time to catch a train, would not allow of a visit, but Mr. 

 Dent confidently asserts that the heifers by this bull are in advance 

 of his cows. Lord Rupert, the male specimen of the Lady Booths, 

 is full of hair and quality, but in rather low condition. Bertha, a 

 Prince Rupert heifer, coming from Sweetmeat, by Mr. Booth's 

 King Richard, is of an Irish branch of the Medoras, obtained from 

 Mr. D. Nesham's sale at Gainford Hall in 77. The first calves born 

 to Rose-Noble at Kaber Fold, were a pair of twin C.C's, out of 

 Susette, a granddaughter of Susan, thiough Susannah, by General 

 Windsor 28701, these like the other calves will have to be content

 particular in selecting sires of good shape and form, the result are 

 now some very fine shorthorn like dairy cows with every appearance 

 for milk, some are not yet eligible for Coates', but as the different 

 crosses are duly noted they will shortly be able to appear in that 

 valuable record. 



Amongst the sires used at Hall Garth have been Lord of 

 Keisley 34620, King of Sky Garth 40059, Monarch 34867, Lord 

 Edgar 41854, (a son of Lady Deans), Prime Minister 2nd 43777, (by 

 Mr. W. Linton's Major Irwin), Prince Eden 46887, (another son of 

 Lady Deans's), and recently Prince Oxford, Prince of Nunwick, and 

 Prince Arthur, all sons of Lady of Nunwick 2nd. The late Mr. 

 Taylor in addition to purchasing good bulls occasionally bought 

 females, amongst which Lady Deans, and Lady of Nunwick, from 

 Mr. John Lamb's sale of Burrell Green, have bred most successfully,
