372 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



was again introduced by the purchase of The Lord Warden 39026, 

 along with his dam, Young Wheedle. Afterwards Mr. Bowly's Lord 

 Fitz-Clarence 19th 38603, preceded Mr. Sartoris' Lord Rosy 34661, 

 which proved a most valuable sire, his heifers being heavy milkers, 

 and his successor was Mr. Sheldon's Glady's Prince 44873, whose 

 son, Gladys Boy, was exchanged by Mr. Savidge with his nephew, 

 Mr. Stokes, for Lord Ernest 49904, exhibited at the Brighton 

 Meeting of the Bath and West, where he stood second to Royal 

 Ingram, and and afterwards sold for exportation. His sons, Lord 

 Ernest 2nd, from Tiny, combining the Old Daisy blood on the sire's 

 side, and the Barm p ton Rose on the dam's, is a massive dark roan,

 good looks of Lady Ernest 1st, are most prominent amongst a group of 

 fourteen heifers, and the matrons have good square frames, with well 

 filled udders, capable of satisfying the owner twice a day, while the 

 herd generally is kept in store condition to supply the dairy, and only a 

 few of the most promising male calves are retained for sires. Since 

 our visit, Mr. Savidge has purchased the heavy fleshed Crawshay 

 51044, of the Old Daisy tribe, from the Maindiff Court herd. 



Close to the important market town of Banbury we find Mr. 

 W. Munton has in the course of the last thirty-two years raised a 

 herd numbering at the present time over forty head, of quite an 

 unique character, being entirely descended from one cow Culworth 

 Beauty and that cow not registered, the more credit therefore is due 

 to the owner for the care and judgement exercised in the manage- 

 ment of a herd which should produce two such young bulls as at the 

 recent Birmingham Autumn Show, were in a class of fifty-eight 

 entries, including two from the Brailes herd, awarded the first prize 

 and reserve number, and also realized the highest prices of any two 

 animals in the sale. Culworth Beauty is described as being a "remark- 

 ably fine cow of good quality and a great milker" and was purchased by 

 Mr. Munton from her breeder, Mr. G. Home, who was noted for his
