SIIORTHO11N HERDS OF ENGLAND. 90 



and daughter, put to Duke of Holker 7th, have brought heifer calves, 

 Duchess Eing Rose, and Ethel Eing Dove, but neither the Bates, 

 nor the Warlaby sire, have produced anything like the original, a 

 fine show cow of the regular Booth type, and many will remember 

 the family when exhibited at Liverpool in 1877, where they won the 

 family prize in a class of seven entries with Einglet 7th as the 

 youngest of the group. Turncroft Duchess of Oxford, bought as a 

 calf at Ashton Hall, has already added another Oxford to the fast 

 increasing family at Calthwaite, and is the first seen of the seven 

 females Mr. Harris now possesses. A very pretty pair are Oxford 

 Duchesses of Calthwaite 1st, and 2nd, out of the two Holker 

 purchases, the younger is the neater, and prettier, and has a lovely 

 younger sister by Mr. Harris' bull. .From the Home Farm, we 

 proceed to another homestead, also situate in the village of Calthwaite, 

 and Underley Oxford, here seen, bred as the name implies, by the 

 Earl of Bective, is hardly considered the equal of the home bred 

 Oxford heifers. Last but not least, is Grand Duchess of Oxford 

 39th, bought at Holker, with a box to herself, well worthy is she of 

 it, she was one of the finest cows at the sale, and maintains that 

 position since changing her home, with two heifers to her credit, she 

 is heavy in-calf again. We must not omit a good looking young 

 bull, by Grand Duke 31st, out of Grand Duchess of Oxford 49th. 

 The older heifers include daughters of Jenny Deans, and Annie 

 Deans, by Mr. Foster's Great Orme 44903, a Wild Eyes bull, bought 

 at Killhow in 1881, the younger is an epecially nice heifer, full of 

 character. Canterbury Belle, another of Great Onne's daughters, 

 is of the Benson tribe, and has been exhibited several times, she has 

 a grand front, and middle, being especially good in her girth, and 

 mellow in her tomh. Mr. Harris has had wonderful luck with his 

 Oxford tribe, rarely is it that out of so highly prized a family, four 

 heifer calve* are the breeders good fortune to receive, out of the first 

 five born in the herd, and we look forward to the day when Calthwaite 

 will take rank as one of the first in the Country. 



Adjoining Mr. Harris' estate, is Calthwaite House, where 

 Messrs. J. & D. D. Lazonby have been in the habit of keeping a 

 record of the pedigrees of their cattle for the last twenty years, and
