OUR ANIMAL PORTRAITS. 
HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN BULL CONSTANTYN. 
Among the animals that help to make the 
enviable reputation of the Maplewood Herd 
of Hollands (we can’t spend all Summer in 
writing Holstein-Priesians—what’s the use?) 
stands the subject of our sketch—Constantyn 
No. 2040, H. H. B , whose head and shoulders 
and front view we show on this page at 
Fig. 205, He was bred by Mr. H. Stamt, 
Vydenes, North Holland, and was selected in 
1883 when one year old, by Mr, F. C. Stevens, 
Attica, N. Y., his present owner, in person, 
after a careful search for a bull as near 
perfection as possible. When imported in the 
Spring of 1883, he was one year old. He was 
sired by Constantyn, No. 157, Netherlands H. 
B. His dam, Betje, No. M3, N. H. B., has a 
milk record of 80 pounds per day, and his 
grandara Oude Betje, a record of 89 pounds 
per day. He is straight, level and of fine 
symmetry, very good in the quarters, with 
great natural depth of flesh. He stands 
square on limb, and is neat in bone, has large, 
| prominent eyes, an intelligent but mild, do¬ 
cile expression; a beautiful head and neck, 
neatly joined together, and to the shoulders; 
skin thin, soft, and very yellow; hair silky. 
He has a Flanders escutcheon and very well 
developed teats and milk veins, and a very vig¬ 
orous constitution. He is three years and 
nearly three months old and weighs 2,405 
pounds. He has really fulfilled the high pro¬ 
mise of his calfhood and has developed into a 
very fine animal.
