IMPORTATIONS. 103 



Herd Book, R. Jardine imported a cow into St. John, 1848 

 New Brunswick, and according to other references in 

 1849. This cow was probably named Gowan. 24 



In 1849, an Ayrshire farmer of the name of R. 1849 

 Gray emigrated to New Brunswick, bringing with 

 him his cattle. These seem to have consisted of the 

 bull, Jock the Laird, and four cows, Helen, Peerless, 

 Mary, and Jenny Willet. 25 The descendants of these 

 cattle occasionally find their .way across the border, 

 and are referred to as being imported from New 

 Brunswick. 



Mr. James Brodie, of Rural Hill, New York, has 

 been the active agent in importing for a number of 

 firms, among which occur Hungerford, Brodie & Co., 

 Hungerford & Brodie, Brodie, Campbell & Co., 

 Brodie & Campbell, James Brodie & Son, Brodie 

 Son & Converse, and Walcott & Campbell. The 

 importations of Mr. G. C. Bradley can also be re- 

 ferred to him. 



In 1852 arrived Kilburn and Mary Gray. 26 These 1852 

 were exhibited at the New York State Fair of that 

 year by Mr. Brodie. Afterwards they came into the 

 possession of Messrs. Walcott & Campbell, New York 

 Mills, N. Y. 



In 1853 were imported Ayrshire Lass and White 

 Lilly. 27 The latter was exhibited by Hungerford & 

 Brodie the same year, but some time afterward went 

 to New York Mills.
