SlIOKTHORN 1 HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



the better known Attractive Lord, The Nineteenth. Twenry-fourth, 

 and Twenty-fifth, are all Burghley's daughters, with perhaps the 

 Nineteenth as the best of the trio, and in the Thiity-third we have 

 the result of Zulu King 47310, a young Zeal bull being put to a 

 daughter of Burghley. Water King 47278, a home-bred son of one 

 of the Aylesby purchases, has effected a great improvement, the 

 Twenty-fourth, and her produce are of great promise. Returning 

 to the buildings, we find all the calves are by Prince Stuart 45421, 

 and a very stylish dark red out of the Nineteenth is the most to our 

 fancy. Mr. Fouler having some pastures a couple of miles distant, 

 we mount behind an excellent little pony, over 30 yeais of age, 

 which also cariies us safely over to Whitwell next morning. Here 

 the cows and heifers are all hoped to be in calf, and as is to be 

 expected in better bloom than the dairy cows. Duke of Rutland is 

 the sire of a large roomy roan, and "Water King has maintained his 

 merit as a .-ire. by having again the best animal in the field to his 

 credit, in the handsome white Twenty-ninth. AA^ater Flag (the dam 

 of Water King), is in company with her daughter and grand-daughter, 

 but although AVater Fern, by Mr. Pindei's Mantalini bull, Loid Erie 

 . is a fine lengthy level cow, yet there is not the same character 

 displayed as in the older matron, while the youngest by the Killerby 

 M. C. 31 >'^, does not yet show signs of eclipsing either dam or 

 grand-dam in merit. 



Three miles from Mr. AV. Fo\vler's we find the home of one of 

 the choicest bred Booth herds in the kingdom, belonging to Mr. R. 

 Pinder, bred from purchases made in 1873, and 1876, from Lady 

 Pigot, eailier ones were made from the same breeder, but gradually 

 the families have been reduced to three, but as one of these (of really 

 good old blood tracing back to Mr. Mark S. Stewart's stock), is also 

 to be " cleared" out, our attention is chiefly devoted to the two noted 

 tribes that are to be the occupants of the Whitwell pastures. Dame 

 Prudence, and her heifer," Dame Prim, by the Bracelet bull Con- 

 stellation 28243, were the purchases of the Farewell tribe in J -74. 

 and although Lady Pigot retained females of this branch there are 

 how no other specimens in the Kingdom, except those posse-s^d by
