434 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



indeed Mrs. Broekholes considers that a cow should give milk, and 

 has made it a rule never to buy a male, without he was from a 

 heavy milker, while the young stock are reared in a natural manner, 

 as it tends to encoutage their milking properties, instead of more 

 or less destroying them as is the case when highly fed. Sir Olive 

 Barrington 7th 487-35, a masculine looking animal, well covered on 

 his crops, and with excellent loin, although slightly drooping 

 behind, is in service. 



Scale Hall, \\ith the land belonging to it, situate on the 

 outskirts of Lancaster, has been in the occupation of Mr. John 

 Woodhouse for thirty years, who brought with him, Dragon 

 14412, a pure Bates bull he had purchased the year previous from 

 Mr. S. E. Bolden. The late Mr. Whalley was a contributor 

 to the Hay Carr sale of 1861, and there, Mr. Wocdhouse bought in 

 addition to White Hamlet 15508 (afterwards exhibited by him at 

 the Preston Guild Show), an aged cow named Lady Flora, whose 

 breeding is more particularly noticed in the notes in Mr. Cragg's 

 herd, as that gentleman purchased her daughter, Lucretia, at the 

 same time ; she continued breeding up to eighteen years of age, 

 and her youngest heifer -Flora's Last bred Lady Flora, a very fine 

 cow, which has won in dairy classes on various occasions, and whose 

 two daughters, Flora's Eose and Flora's Blossom, are an excellent 

 class of cattle to have on any farm, indeed Mr. Woodhouse's cows 

 are not wanting in useful qualities, as they have to assist in 

 supplying Lancaster with milk. The Pinks, the other principal 

 family at Scale Hall, have produced some very useful animals, 

 amongst which may be mentioned Pink's Rose, a large, square- 

 framed cow, one of the best in the herd. The more recent additions 

 have comprised Butterfly Duchess 3rd, bred at Eowfant, of the 

 Townley Madaline family, and Bolina 3rd, from Mr. Bromley, of 

 Forton ; the former after breeding a heifer, had Lord Butterfly 

 53134, the present sire, to Duke of Waterloo 46276, a Blanche of 

 Mrs. Bubb's breeding, who had previously been used, having 

 succeeded the Earl of Bective's Turcoman 3rd 42526, (a son of 

 Duke of Underlay 33745 and Uuderley Darling), and Mr. E. 

 Musgrove's Fennel Duke 26639.
