5W SHORTHORN NERDS OF 



companion purchase of the Butterfly cow, having calved twins, 

 unfortunately one of each sex, is allowed to suckle them. In 'the calf 

 pens, are a red, from Cherry Gwynne 5th, and a roan, from Prudence, 

 in company with the young Butterfly. The half dozen older heifers

 E. Ecroyd began a herd by purchasing four females at the Bray ton

 Thompson, no less than seven being of the once famous Barmpton 

 Rose tribe, and from these the herd has been bred, with the exception of 

 another branch of the Barmpton Eose family, which came from the 

 Edgehill sale, three heifers from Edenhall, and Deepdale 4th, -from 

 Underley. At the farm where Mr. Ecroyd has his shorthorns,

 3rd, look very comfortable in their new boxes, arranged side by side. 

 The handsome young Waterloo bull has already been favourably

 Underley, twelve months ago, and is a son of Gusta 3rd, the dam of
