U)8 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



In the buildings, the great attraction besides Jenny's Bawbee is 

 Prince Arthur 51869, exhibited at Bingley Hall, when he stood second 

 to Kinsman's Butterfly, and was bought by Mr. Ponsonby, he has it' 

 anything improved since then, and is a very level compact animal, 

 covered with abundance of hair, and of excellent quality. He is from 

 the same cow as Prince of Nunwick, and Prince Oxford, well known 

 in Cumberland, and Westmoreland showyards. Rose water, a 

 Knightley Furbelow heifer, was bought privately from Lord Moreton 

 after winning in her class at Cirencester last year; unfo tunately 

 her hindquarters have not improved, and now detract greatly 

 from her numerous good qualities, which will prevent her competing 

 successfully in the future, which is very grievous, as her foiequarters 

 are most excellent. Another of the tribe is Lady Oxfoid Rose, bred 

 at Kettering, a very useful heifer, without being exactly suitable for 

 exhibition purposes. Both the Dairy Show prize animals of 1884 

 have had heifer calves, this season, white, and roan, respectively, if 

 they turn out so fortunate as their dams, Mr. Ponsonby will have no 

 reason to be dissatisfied. Sweetbriar 10th, purchased from Mr. 

 Aikell, having Prince Frogmore's Seal, for sire, is naturally half 

 sister to Petted Pansy ; Nancy Lee, another purchased calf, with the 

 young bull Unionist, out of Magic, intended to b^ exhibited towaids 

 the end of the season, brings the herd of Mr. Fonsonby to a close, 

 and considering the recent foundation of it, some very good cattle 

 are found at Terrick Farm. 



In the Yale of Aylesbury, at Walton Grange, and the adjoining 

 farm of Broughton Pastures, Mr. H. Wyatt, has an extensive dairy 

 of cows, the milk of which is sold to the Condensed Milk Company's 

 Manufactory, and it is satisfactory to learn that none has been 

 returned, on account of the silage being fed to the cows in milk, and 

 Mr. Wyatt adds his testimony to the usefulness of it as a milk 

 producer during the winter months. Pedigree males have long been 

 used, and Duke of Barrington 14th 41)413, the present sire, was a 

 private purchase from Brailes, he is a capital red, and will no doubt 

 leave a favourable impression when he departs, both in this respect, 

 and many others, if he follows the good example of his sire, Duke of
