trouble. Alas ! the Canadians, with a very tempting offer, succeeded 

 in earning off this much coveted heifer. In addition to the hand- 

 some home bred Baron Sedgwick 44373, woude. fully deep in his 

 thighs and flank, and second at the Reading and York Rovals, Mr. 

 Wakefield is using Dentsman 51071, bred at Underley and of the 

 fashionable Darlington triba, but r.ot so good looking as Baron 

 Sedgwick. Previous to Dentsman's purchase, Duke of Holker 

 38183, Baron Barrington 4th 33000, and Dumobin 28486, had been 

 bought fiom Holker. The " Baion " and three of his get obtained 

 the third piize at the Shrewsbury Royal in 1884, preceded 

 by Beau Benedict 42769 and Royal Gloucester 45525, with their 

 produce. The names of the principal families founded by Mr. 

 Wakefield, are the Augustas, Barnes', Garnetts, Wellhead's Roses 

 and Welcomes, of which the last mentioned are the best, Welcome 

 3rd one of the Shrewsbury group being a particular fine cow and 

 G-arnett 14th, very pretty. Wellhead's Rose 2nd, a heavy fleshed 

 sort, has bred Baron Sedgwick. Two of the most promising heifers 

 are Welcome 9th and Welcome 10th, the older being wonderfully 

 deep in front, and the younger, an excellent calf, does credit to 

 Dentsman 51071, and if her half-sisters are born with as shapely 

 forms, Mr. Wakefield will have no cause to regret changing from 

 Holker to Underley for his sire. 



Betwixt Sedgwick and Kendal, formerly Kirkby Kendal, at 

 Water Crook, Mr. Edward Mason has established a herd of dairy 

 shorthorns, not that the whole thirty cows in milk are eligible for 

 Coates', as Mr. Mason, who has to maintain a regular supply of 

 milk to provide for the wants of his customers in the neighbouring 

 town, where it is retailed every day, finds it more profitable to 

 change his animals according to circumstances, and has no difficulty 

 in disposing of his cows at very satisfactory prices. Unfortunately 

 the enterprising tenant of Water Crook is absent from home, and 

 we are unable to acquire that positive information we should have 

 liked as to the names of the pedigree animals, but with the herd in 

 its entirety we are greatly pleased, their large, square frames and 

 shapely udders being a credit to any breeder, much more so to one
