344 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



to Lord Wellington 6th 53230, the sire in service, he was bred at 

 Hindlip, from Water Lily 2nd, one of the purest specimens of the 

 popular Waterloo tribe, and appears a healthy vigorous young bull, 

 likely to leave a lot of good coloured stock at Kingscote. 



Mr. James Kello, of Horton, was better known in the shorthorn 

 world of a dozen years ago than that of to-day, he had then the 

 charge of the estate more than half of which is now in his 

 occupation and it was as fine a herd of Bates shorthorns as is 

 to be found at the present day, chiefly however was it famous for 

 its Kuklevington Duchesses, one of which was disposed of bv private 

 treaty, for l,100gs., being the highest price any member of the 

 family has realized amongst English breeders, and in his hands the 

 name originated which has since become so famous. Tungrove and 

 Wadden Hill Farms, on which the old herd used to graze, are si; u<iU; 

 at the foot of the Cotswolds, four miles from Tate Junction, part of 

 the latter being comprised of hill land chiefly suitable for sheep, 

 but Mr. Kello has some grand land in the Vale on which he has 

 been quietly gathering the nucleus of what at some future period 

 may be one of the leading herds in the county, as with the owner's 

 ripe experience gained Lorn his connection with the grand herd 

 already alluded to, there is every prospect of success in store for 

 him. Arethusa 6th, bred at The Oaklands and descended from Mr. 

 Sheldon's America, is a lengthy stylish cow not wanting in character 

 and has proved herself a good breeder, her yearling son Lord Acomb, 

 being very level. Fan tail Flirt is a combination of Bates and 

 Knightley, and Lady Monmouth, of the Townley Vestris tribe, has 

 three Duchess crosses, in addition to a Cambridge E/ose and Darling- 

 ton, after her sire, Mr. Bolls' Monmouth 45258. The Nibletts of 

 Niblett foundation and latterly better known as having produced the 

 Royal winner Rugia Niblett, have llosy Niblett, a very handsome 

 good uddered cow and heavy milker at their head, she is surrounded 

 by her three daughters Lady Niblett, Duchess Niblett perhaps the 

 best, but all are fair to gaze upon, and like their dam have plenty of 

 substance and Duchess Niblett 2nd, the two latter being by 

 LaughLon Duke 5th 51512.
