442 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



origin, and has Lord Protector for sire, with an array of well known 

 names beyond. He has a good head and chest, with horns perhaps too 

 highly set, well sprung ribs, wide loin, and excellent thighs. One of 

 the oldest families are the Elizas, obtained by purchasing a cow of 

 that name from Mr. Muckalt, who had bought her from Mr. Toxvn.son, 

 of Hyuing, a tenant of Mr. Bolden's. In number the Elizas are 

 fast approaching a " score," but none are better than the twins 

 Eliza llth and Eliza 12th the former is our favourite, with her 

 great ribs and beautiful shoulders. The Medoras have also had a 

 home for a considerable period at Coat Green and slightly exceed 

 the Elizas in number, here again two of the older cows Isabella 

 5th and Isabella 6th are especially prominent, six heifer calves 

 have been bred by Isabella 5th, but it is the younger of the pair

 white Snowstorm, almost as lev<4 as herself, while Princess 

 Maud, also bred by the late Mr. W. Fox, is found included 

 in the yearlings. Welcome Stranger, a handsome white with 

 a taking head and horn, cime with Wagner from the Barmoor 

 sale, and to that sire produced Welcome Wayfarer ; both mother 

 and daughter have contributed heifer calves to Mountain Head 

 50031, the one from the latter being a "beauty," and of the other 

 little maidens, mention must be made of a red and white from 

 Eliza llth. 



Bordering on the ancient market town of Burton, Mr. H. 

 B. Boardman has begun to breed the fashionable race of cattle, and 

 his latest venture has been Mr. J. Thompson's first prize calf at the 

 last Yorkshire Meeting. British Warrior, was certainly a long way 

 in advance of his companions at York, and if he can be brought out 

 in as good form another season, he should prove a dangerous 

 competitor. A red and white Eliza from Coat Green, has a capital 

 milk vessel, while Lady Cecilia, Strawberry Girl and Butterfly's 

 Surprise, bought from Mr. Geo. J. Bell, will not fail to do justice 

 to The Nook herd. White Darlington, a neat well formed young 

 cow, was bought at the recent Underley sale, in company with her
