PORTRAITS OF BRITISH PRIZE CATTLE— Continued. 



B. DETON CATTLE:. 



Devon cow Phlox. — The portrait represents Mr. Eolles 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 shov?, competing in the class of heifers a year older than herself; first 

 at the Bath and West of England at Cardiff; first at the Eoyal Cornwail at Launceston; 

 and third at the Eoyal of England at Heading. 



C. SlTFFOIiK cattjle;. 



Suffolk cow Wild Mose. — The portrait represents Wild Eose, a 10-year old Suffolk 

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

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

 dam, Beauty by Wander. 



Produce: January 5, 1878, Wild Eose of KUburn; April 9, 1879, Wild Eobin; April 

 14, 1880, Wild Eover; April 29, 1881, Wild Eupes; March 10, 1882, Wild Eosy; March 

 7, 1883, WUd Euth. 



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 mates 14 pounds of butter weekly. It is worth noticing 

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

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

 of England, near Hull). 



v. IiOIVCiHOBIV CATTIiX:. 



Longhorn hull Prince Victor. — The portrait represents Prince Victor, alonghorned bull 

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

 'vears 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 KUbum show-yard for the Mark Lane Express. Prince Victor 

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

 burn last year. 



Longhorn cow Calke. — The portrait represents Mr. Eichard 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 Eoyal 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.

B. HEISEFOBD CAXTliE. 



Hereford hull Thoughtful.— Keta 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 Eogers, of the Eodd, Kington, Herefordshire, took first honors. Thoughtful 

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

 fiank. 



Hereford heifer Leonora.— A.t the late Bristol show of the Eoyal 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.
