bv Knight of St. Patrick 38520 ; the sires have generally been 

 hired from the Exors. of Mr. T. C. Booth. Homely, a massive 

 level cow of nice quality, is now the head of this family numbering 

 eight females ; she has bred Homework, to Sir Wilfrid ; Homebody, 

 and Honeydew, to Royal Baldersby ; as well as a good bull calf this 

 season by King Magnus. Beyond Royal Benedict we have the 

 well known names of King James, Lord Blithe, and Elfin King, and

 Warlaby, which name she derives fioin her birthplace, being born 

 after the purchase of her dam by Mr. C. Morgan for the States. 

 Taken out to Ameiica, she came back to this country, and was 

 privately purchased by Mr. Heineinan, what more can be desired 

 by the most fastidious critic than Eoyal Stuart, Royal Benedict, 

 King James, British Crown, and Commander-in-Chief, in direct 

 succession ? The very cream of the Warlaby sires of recent years. 

 Another of Royal Stuart's daughters is Bright Ruby, a very sweet 

 aich ribbed cow, bought as a calf at Hopton Hall for over three 

 hundred guineas. Her grandam, Bright Lady, was like Maid of 

 Warlaby, exported and re-imported again to this country. Another
