nent a feature at Warlaby. Queen of Clubs, is inclined to be 

 somewhat leggy, although by the famous old King of Trumps, who 

 however has made amends by being the sire of a good calf out of 

 Stuart's Queen, and Grimston Queen, a veij level grand ribbed 

 heifer, must not be left unnoticed. 



In only the last three volumes has Mr. Geo. Mann, of Scawsby 

 Hall, Doncaster, registered his pedigrees, yet they show as much 

 breeding as many a cow whose ancestry has been recorded from the 

 very earliest days, another instance of the value pure bred bulls do 

 in the country, especially when a careful account is kept of the 

 different sires, and it does not require a vast amount of trouble to 

 so start a new family eligible for Coates' ; more care is required in

 of Duke cf Connaught, he is also the sire of a very handsome lot 

 of stock of all ages, is a deep massive bull with a wonderful grand 

 neck, and chest. Eight cows are in a field of capital old grass, the 

 first to hand is Miss Willis, a white big framed daughter of Zenith 

 39344; Princess Alice, and Princess Cherry, half sisters, b) Tele- 

 machus 10th 35728, and Bob Cherry 33172, from Princess, are a 

 pair of fine dairy like animals, and another excellent cow is Wild 

 Air, the mother of one of the best of the yearlings, while of the 

 two year olds, Marigold, is very even like her twin sister Magolia, 

 the latter having been under cover in training for local honours, is
