(October, 1832) his regret at having been induced to part with him, and 

 his extreme disappointment that when Ilubback was so sold, Mr. Charles 

 Colling confined him to his own stock, and would not let him serve even 

 one of Mr. Waistell's cows." 



VI. Beef from the Old Teeswaters. 



That the original Teeswaters and their early descendants were good 

 cattle, and a most excellent foundation to work on, the following record 

 of weights from 1794 to 1822 will show: In 1794, of an ox four years 

 and ten months old, the four quarters weighed 145 stones, 3 lb. ; tallow, 

 24 stones, 7 lb., (2376 lbs. ) A steer, under four years old ; four quar- 

 ters, 106 stones; tallow, 19 stones, 7 lb., (1757 lbs.) 1814. — A steer, 

 three years and nine months old; four quarters, 101 stones; tallow. 15 

 stones, ( 1624 lbs. ) 1815. — A steer, three years eleven months old ; four 

 quarters, 112 stones, 7 lb.; tallow, 26 stones, (1939 lbs.) A heifer, 

 three years eight months old; four quarters, 89 stones, (1246 lbs.) 

 1817. — A steer, three years two months old; four quarters, 95 stones, 

 10 lb. ; tallow, 17 stones, 10 lb., (1528 lbs.) 1822.— An ox, four years 

 and a half old; four quarters, 135 stones; tallow, 21 stones, (2184 lbs.) 

 VII. Short-Horns in America. 



Mr. Allen, the editor of the Short-Horn Herd Book, in his work on 

 American cattle, gives an exhaustive account of importations of Short- 

 horns into the United States, from which we gather the following record 

 of the more important importations : 



Soon after the Revolutionary War, a few cattle supposed to be pure 

 Short-Horns, were brought into Virginia. These were said to be Avell- 

 fleshed aninuils, and the cows remarkable for milk, giving as high as 

 thirty-two quarts in a day. Some of the produce of these cattle, as 

 early as 1797, were taken into Kentucky by Mr. Patton, where they were 

 called the "Patton stock." They were well cared .-^or, and made a 

 decided improvement in the cattle of the Blue Grass country. 



In 1815-16, Mr. Cox, an Englishman, imported a bull and two heifers 

 into Rensselaer county, New York. They were followed in 1822 by two 

 bulls, imported by another Englishman named Hayne. Descendants 

 from this Cox stock were said to be bred pure, and afterwards crossed by 

 Mr. Hayne's bulls. The stock now exists in considerable numbers and 

 of good quality, in that and adjoining counties. 



In 1817, Coi. Lewis Sanders, of Lexington, Kentucky, made an impor- 

 tation of three bulls and three heifers from England. They were of 

 good quality and blood, and laid the foundation of many excellent herds 

 In that State. In 1818, Mr. Cornelius Cooledge, of Boston, Massa- 

 chusetts, imported a yearling heifer — "Flora" — and a bull — "Cicero"—
