214 HISTORY OF THE SHORT-HORNS. 



In August, 1868, he shipped from Liverpool, Eng., seven cows and 

 heifers, and one bull, Robert Napier, 8975, A. H. B. 



In June, 1869, he shipped from Glasgow four cows and heifers. 



In August following he shipped from Glasgow five cows and heifers, 

 and two bulls. 



On August 2d, 1870, he shipped from Liverpool thirty-five cows and 

 heifers, and four bulls; on August 7th, following, he shipped also 

 from Liverpool five cows and two bulls. 



In the months of August and October, 1870, he also shipped from 

 Liverpool seven cows and heifers, and three bulls. 



In July, 1871, he shipped from Liverpool twenty cows and heifers, 

 and four bulls. 



In March, 1872, he also had shipped from Liverpool three cows 

 and heifers, making in all the shipments of the last six years eighty- 

 seven well-bred Short-horns. 



Of the whole number a few died, or were killed by accident on 

 their passages ; the remainder all arrived safely onto Mr. Cochrane's 

 farm at Compton. The animals were selected by Mr. Cochrane him- 

 self, for which he made several voyages across the Atlantic, or with 

 the assistance of Mr. Simon Beattie, of Canada, and Mr. John Thorn- 

 ton, the noted stock auctioneer, of London. No importation of 

 Short-horns ever made by an American have equaled in cost, the 

 stock brought out by Mr. Cochrane. Among them were two Bates 

 Duchess heifers, at the price cost of 2,500 guineas, or upwards of 

 $6,250 each. A considerable number of them were either pure 

 Booth, or containing several crosses of the blood of the Booth tribes ; 

 several others were deep in various tribes of Bates blood. The ped- 

 igrees of all, or nearly all these animals, and their produce since their 

 importation have been recorded in the later volumes of the American 

 Herd Book, where they can be readily found. Many of them were 

 sold soon after their arrival, and brought into the United States ; 

 others have been sold, and still remain in Canada, in the hands of 

 different owners, while a still larger number remain in the home herd 

 of Mr. Cochrane. 



Thus concludes our history of the Short-horns, both in England, 

 until a modern period, and in America down to the present time ; but 

 as some other important matters connected with them are worthy of 

 notice, we shall occupy a few further pages in their consideration.
