SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 137 



with capital dairy properties, her daughter, St. Margaret, seen in 

 the pasture, is a wide short legged heifer, the first to calve to 

 "Warlock. Another daughter is Queen Bess, but she has hardly 

 furnished as well as Derwent Princess, out of Derwent Queen 2nd, 

 and with Queen Esther, and Lady Bird, excapting a roan cow calf 

 from Silver Thorn, we see the last of Mr. Tindall's little herd. 



Passing on to the animals bc4onging to Messrs. J. and W. 

 Scorsby, we consider two of their finest cows, Derwent Lass, a red
