SHORTHORN HERBS OF BNGLA.ND. 



Mr. H. Aylmer's herd next supplied Sir Jacob 47105, by Sir Wilfrid 

 37184, from Easthorpe Strawberry 9th, and he was used for five years. 

 Lord Hartington 5th 48195, bred by Earl Spencer, was purchased 

 in order that no lack of size should be apparant in this large 

 dairy of cows by the continued use of one line of blood. He 

 is a large framed red, of good flesh and quality, showing plenty of 

 constitution, and has for sire and grand-sire two of the famous 

 Grand Dukes. Lord Frolic 51576, a good looking son of Lord 

 Hartington 5th 4811)5, and Frivolity 2nd, a fine roan daughter of 

 Knight of Fame 34:379, and the original Burderop purchase is also 

 in service at Moor Court. The most numerous of the families in 

 Mr. Hoddinott's possession are the Moss Roses, tracing through 

 Wild Rose ; and her grand-daughter, Rose of the Moor, a Sir Jacob 

 cow, is one of the handsomest in the herd. Frivolity 2nd and 

 Frivolity 3rd, mother and daughter, are no disgrace to the Stratton 

 cattle, while one of the best of the yearlings is the red and white 

 Townley's Rose, a descendant of Wild Rose. Moor Court Pauline 

 2nd and Moor Court Pauline 3rd, are of the Pauline tribe, originally 

 at Killerby, and which made very high prices at the Broughton sale 

 of 1876, where Pauline 12th was ottained by Mr. Hoddinott. 

 Sidonia Cth is a successful result of putting a Fifth Duke of 

 Wharfdale Gazelle cow, bought at Siddington, to Knight of Fame, 

 being handsome and of large scale. Lady Lancaster 3rd, a white 

 grand-daughter of Mr. How's Conclusion, having declined to breed, 

 is being prepared to win at the local Christmas shows, and if she 

 goes on as well as she has done, will be quite equal to the occasion. 

 Several heifers of the families already noticed are some distance 

 away, and the shades of evening fast approaching, we are compelled 

 to close our notes without seeing them. 



Before advancing into Wiltshire we call at one of the farms of 

 Mr. S. H. Allen, of Eastover, who has been breeding shorthorns 

 since 1874, when he attended the Marquis of Ailesbury's sale at 

 Saversnake, 1 near Marlborough, and purchased what he considered 

 to be the best cow, Beauty, as well as two calves named Clara and 

 Datura. It was not until 1880, that Mr. Allen contemplated
