PORTRAITS OF BRITISH PRIZE CATTLEContinued. 



B. DEVON CATTLE. 



Devon cow Phlox. The portrait represents Mr. Holies Fryer's Devon Phlox and her 

 calf. The calf is a charming little heifer by Mistletoe. Phlox won first prize, 1883, at 

 the Devon County show, competing in the class of heifers a year older than herself; first 

 at the Bath and West of England at Cardiff; first at the Royal Cornwall at Launceston; 

 and third at the Royal of England at Reading. 



C. SUFFOLK. CATTLE. 



Suffolk cow Wild Eosc.ThQ portrait represents Wild Rose, a 10-year old Suffolk 

 cow, the property of and bred by Mr. George Gooderhain, Monewden, Wickham Market, 

 Suffolk, calved April 10, 1874. Sire, The Claimant; dam, Rosy by Perfection; grand- 

 dam, Beauty by Wander. 



Produce: January 5, 1878, Wild Rose of Kilburn; April 9, 1879, Wild Robin; April 

 14, 1880, Wild Rover; April 29, 1881, Wild Rupes; March 10, 1882, Wild Rosy; March 

 7, 1883, Wild Ruth. 



This cow has been shown three times for the milking test at the Suffolk Agricultural 

 Association, and has gained one first and two second prizes against all breeds, and has 

 never been beaten by a red polled for milking purposes. She gave at Woodbridge and 

 Beccles 26 pints in twelve hours. At home she daily gives 54 pints for the first four 

 months after calving; and as 20 pints of her milk make 1 pound of butter, this proves 

 that she has made nearly 19 pounds per week for sixteen weeks. She is now (August) 

 giving 40 pints per day, and makes 14 pounds of butter weekly. It is worth noticing 

 that this proportion (i. c.. 1 pound of butter for 20 pints of milk), is exactly the same 

 as that from Shorthorns (reported from the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society 

 of England, near Hull). 



. LOIVGIIORN CATTLE. 



LongJiorn lull Prince Victor. The portrait represents Prince Victor, alonghorned bull 

 owned by Maj. Gen. Sir F. W. Fitzwygram, Bart., of Leigh Park, Havant, Hants; five 

 years and three months old, bred by Mr. Shaw, Fradley Old Hall, Lichfield by Earl 

 of Upton 7th (76), dam Princess. This engraving is reproduced from a very admirable 

 photograph taken in the Kilburn show-yard for the Mark Lane Express. Prince Victor 

 took the first prize in his class at the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Kil- 

 burn last year. 



Longhorn cow Calkc. The portrait represents Mr. Richard Hall's longhorn cow, 

 Calke, which took the first prize in her class ' ' cows in calf or in milk above three years 

 old," at the Bristol show of the Royal Agricultural Society. The breed has distinct 

 dairy aptitudes, and this cow in particular is evidently a good dairy cow. The photo- 

 graph has done fair justice to the cow, and the engraver has copied it to accuracy. 



E. HEREFORD CATTLE. 



Hereford butt Thoughtful. Here* we have an uncommonly successful drawing of a 

 good Hereford, given as representing a meat-making breed. The steers of the breed are 

 quite as massive quite, we think as good in rib and sirloin and rump, where the best 

 beef grows, as any other breed, the Shorthorn included. 



Mr. Taylor's bull did not take the first prize at the Kilburn show. In the class for 

 bulls above three years old, the well-known prize-taker Grateful, bred by his exhibitor, 

 Mr. Aaron Rogers, of theRodd, Kingtou, Herefordshire, took first honors. Thoughtful 

 was placed second to him; he is better behind, but not so good as Grateful in his fore 

 flank. 



Hereford heifer Leonora. At the late Bristol show of the Royal Agricultural Society 

 of England, Mrs. Edwards was prominent with her beautiful pair of heifers. There 

 was no finer animal than Leonora there; none carrying and capable of carrying such a 

 wealth of meat on legs so short. Fortunately for the country, old Winter de Cote left 

 something more than a good name, and any young breeder need not feel disgraced to be 

 near such stock as the half sisters, Beatrice and Leonora.
