Since NY last. have been 10 sec the
Gar famed herd Of SauFi-hon cattle Kept
by Mr.. Thomas Booth Of Narllaby. We
passed some very 6ne farms, likewise one
rentlemau's residence with hne parks and
pleasure grounds. After giving cur names
We we're obliged TO wait bali OF three quar-
tens Of an hour. the foreman aud attend
ant being both gone, 20 bad little time
to look around and vas surprised TO ind
that a man like Mr.. Booth, whose name
is known from one eDd Of the earth 10
the other, wherever the name OF short
horn is known should live 10 such a con-
mon looking house, yet surrounded with
very fine gardens. walks, shade trees, &c.
The attendant having arrived We hrsl
went out to the pasture and there saw the
cows. eighteen or twenty in number which
we're turned to pasture May 18th, aud
bad not been in the barn since neither
had they been fed IN the pasture. They
are all in very high condition, aud eer-
tainly are the finest lot Of cows that | ev-
err saw. | carrot pretend to describe
them all to YOU, but will those that SEEM
ed to strike my attention most. The first
vas Lady Mirth."a roam, very hand.
some, square bull. with straight top and
lower hues. She is half sister to Lady
Grateful" whose reputation in America is
well known. LADY Mirth" is mother Of
bull that was sold for 500 guineas, and
went to Australia. "Alfreda," a COW IL
years cd, by ''Commander in Chief" an
enormous sized COW, and very fine in
shape aud mother to "Pettica" who was
sold for 1000 guineas to come to America
and died in New York on landing. Lady
Beautiful" by Lord Of the Vale,
own sister to Lady Fragrant" 1t is
useless to say she is dne COW as she can
not be bought for either love or money on
account of her qualities aud likewise her
pedigree. "Rclal Bridesmaid" by IA
vorite," which was very nice with good
smooth horns and clean, neat appear
ance, but with the prevailing fashion Of
hair. Then we went to the stables 10 see
the young cattle, and there saw nothing
to strike my attention particularly till L
came TO a 10 months old heiier called the
bridal Morn" cot by "Commander in
Chief" from Blooming Bride" supposed
to be the best heile: that was ever raised
ut Warllaby and certainly is the best
heifer that ever saw aud probably ever
shall see, and we're | able aud Mr.. Booth
willing to sell | should never come home
without her. l saw several young bulls
and heiiers very GOOD but not kept in as
high condition as those kept on the NAL
ven farms ir Morristown. which | think
might account for the cows looking better
at Warllaby than they do at Morristown,
after looking through the stables we went
to another field to see the 2 and year
ods. 1t seemed as if was entirely be-
wildered to see such sight many
superiour animals. The young bulls that
are fit for service are hired by the lead
ing farmers at so much for the season. |
saw one that was going to be shipped to
Ireland in few days for one year at the
sum of 300 pounds or 10 hundred dollars
the bull they are working at Warllaby is
lord Blithe" own brother to 'Lady
Fragrant" six years old and inferior bull
to look beside climax" on the Malven
farms, but probably Superior to Climax"
in pedigree. Commander in Chief" died
with the epidemic some few years ago which
was great loss as he has left some Of
the best stock there is in England. The
last animal that we looked at was "Lady
Fragrant" herself. | thought | had seen
good cows before, but | never saw any,
thing like her, her points are all superior.
She is eight years old, and has won %
gold cups and prizes, the best COW in Eng
land consequently the best in the world.
Mr.. Booth refused 1000 guineas for her
by MIR. Cockoran from Canada She cannot
be bought for any price. We were asked
in and there had the best of English .cheer
had present made me Of some very fine
white spring wheat to bring back to
America with me. Mr. Booth seut his
coachman and private carriage to the
railroad station with US and gave us every
attention that was possible to give, and
says he likes to sell stock to the Americans
for they always have plenty of money aud
give good prices.
