New- York and took with him many cattle from the herd of Geo. 

 CuUey, of Northumberland, 



1796. Heaton imported a male and female, put them on his 

 farm in Westchester, New- York. At his death his herd was 

 sold and dispersed ; but the cross they produced is still perfectly 

 traced in the cattle of that couilty. 



1797. Mr. Patton, of Kentucky, purchased a bull and a cow 

 proceeding from the Virginia importation of 1783, and of the 

 milker race. The mixed race, obtained by crossings has shown 

 itself altogether superior to the native stock, both in relation to 

 the milk and the beef, for it has not been rare for the cows to 

 give thirty quarts of milk per day. 



1803. The Kentucky and Virginia breeders continued to make 

 purchases ; and out of gratitude to Mr. Patton for the introduc- 

 tion of them, they called these cattle the Patton race. 



1815. Mr. Cox imported from England, into the county of 

 Eensselaer,New-York,a bull and two heifers who had high repu- 

 tation as milkers. At the death of Mr. Cox, his herd was 



purchased by Mr. Bullock, of Bethlehem, Albany.

1817. Mr. Landers imported into Kentucky six cows of the 

 pure blood and excellent milkers. 



1818. Mr. Coolidge, a merchant of Boston, imported the bull 

 Ccelebs and heifer Flora, from the herd of Mr. Mason, of Chilton. 

 In 1820 Mr. Coolidge sold them to Colonel Jaques, of Charles- 

 town. Flora gave 31^ quarts per day, and produced fourteen 

 calves. CoBlebs is grand, compact, body near the ground, weigh- 

 ed when in midling condition 2,174 pounds. The cows proceed- 

 ing from this stock, pnve or mixed, give very rich cream, so 

 much so that Mr. Jaques calls them cream pots. Their forms are 

 of perfect symmetry. 



In 1818, same year, Mr. Faulkner, of North Allerton, and Mr. 

 Wetherell, of Darlington, imported into Brighton and North- 

 borough, Massachusetts, two pure blood bulls, whose descendants 

 have every where been distinguished as j&ne milkers.
