8HOKTHOUN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 300 



Royal Pluto from the younger of the Killerby purchases, shows 

 enough merit to warrant his being Victor Andrew's future 

 "lieutenant." 



Something like a score of all ages are observed in the pasture 

 leading to the buildings. Taking them in the order they are 

 introduced, we have Charming Belle, a very nice Sir Charles heifer, 

 of Knightley extraction, but the tribe passing through Mr. Meacle- 

 "Waldo's hands before coming into Wales, it is now quite of the 

 Booth type. Marchioness Towyvale is a great grand-daughter of 

 the Knowlmere purchase, and certainly her sweet feminine head, 

 neat shoulders and wide expanding ribs make her the most desirable 

 of the several Mistress Mary cows in this pasture, although 

 Marchioness Manoravon 2nd is a good wealthy sort, and Magdalene,

 herd since her arrival, but Victoria Junia the mother of the 

 excellent young bull declines to further increase Mr. Pugh's list of

 home-bred Czar 54 1 40, who has also to his credit another attractive 

 little lady Charmer 3rd from Charming Lily, and with the 

 exception of a weakness in her loin, Charming Bead 3rd, cannot but 

 be thought well of. In another pasture near the Towy, are the 

 massive white Lady Elsie, purchased at the Prinknash sale, \\ith her 

 lengthy capital coated daughter, Lady Charles ; Bright Lady, a 

 strong and promising heifer, descended from the greatly admired 

 Bright Queen ; and Arabella, a large framed heavy milking roan of 

 short descent. 



We might almost fancy ourselves at Warlaby in the dark days 

 which succeeded the several attacks of foot and mouth disease, when 

 on entering a hill side pasture the dozen cows and heifers contained
