THE DEYONS. 61 



brought a bull and cow into Genesee County, N. Y., from the 

 herd of Mr. Davy, in England. 



In 184- the Massachusetts Agricultural Society made a con- 

 siderable importation of Devons into that State, which were 

 some time afterwards distributed in various parts of New 

 England. 



About the years 1852-3, Mr. L. G. Morris, of "Westchester, 

 N. Y., imported several Devons from the herds of Mr. Quartly, 

 and others, in Devonshire. 



About the same years, Mr. Ambrose Stevens, of Batavia, N. 

 Y., brought out a number from the herds of Messrs. Davy, 

 Merson, and others. 



Concurrent with these two last, Mr. C. S. Wainright, of 

 Khinebeck, N. Y., made two or three different importations 

 from the best and most popular breeds abroad. 



A few years later, the late Mr. Edward G. Faile, of West- 

 chester, N. Y., imported several superior Devons from the choice 

 herds of Devonshire. 



These comprise all that we now recollect, and were of the 

 choicest selections — the cattle equal, probably, in style and 

 quahty, to any in England. All these herds have been carefully 

 bred, and their produce widely disseminated. If preserved and 

 bred as they should be, they will continue of great benefit in 

 improving the lighter cattle stocks of our country. 



It may be well to remark that the race of which we have 

 written, are called, in England, "North" Devons, as distinguish- 

 ing them from another called "South" Devons — a somewhat 

 larger, coarser, and less esteemed variety, existing in South Dev- 

 onshire, and the adjoining county of Sussex.
