THE AYRSHIRE.
The Ayrshire COWS are justly celebrated
throughout this country and Great Britain
for their excellent dairy purposes. Though,
the most recent in their origin, they are
pretty distinct from other Scotch and En-
glish races. In color, the pure Ayrshires
are generally red and white, spotted or mot
tied, not roam, like many of the Shorthorns,
but often presenting a bright contrast Of
colors. The head is small, fine and clean.
The face is long and narrow at the muzzle,
with a s~prightly, yet generally mild express
sion. The eye is small, smart and lively.
The horns are short and slightly twisted up
ward, set wide apart at the roots. The neck
is thin. The body is charging from fore to
hind quarters. The back is straight and
narrow, but broad across the loin. The
joints are rather loose and open. The ribs
are rather flat. The hind quarters are thin.
The teats of the COW are Of medium size,
and set wide apart. The milk veins are
always very prominent and generally well
developed.
On the whole the Ayrshires are good
looking, but want some of the symmetry
and aptitude to fatten which characterize
the S%horthorn, and which is supposed to
have built up this valuable breed on the ba-
sis of the original stock of the county of AYR.
a county extending along the eastern shore
OF the Firth of Clyde, in the southwestern
part of Scotland, and divided into three dis
tricts, known as Carrick, Cunningham and
Kyle; the first famous as the lordship Of
Robert Bruce, the last for the production OF
this. one of the most remarkable dairy breed
Of cows in the world. These cattle are nat
urally hardy and active, and capable of en-.
during severe winters and Of easily regain.
ing condition with the return of spring and
good feed. They have been known to pro-
duce over ten gallons of milk in a day.
1t is the opinion of good breeders that a
high-bred Shorthorn bull and a large-sized
Ayrshire cow will produce a calf which viii
come to maturity earlier and attain greater
weight and sell for more money than q
pure-bred Ayrshire. This cross, with feed
ing from the start, may be sold fat at two
or three years old, the improvement being
especially seen in the early maturity and tho
size.
In this cross with the Shorthorn the form
becomes ordinarily more symmetrical, while
there is, perhaps little risk of lessenine the
milking quality of the offspring, if sufficient
regard IS paid to the selection of the indi-,
vidual animals to breed from.
The Ayrshire unites to a greater degree
than other breeds, the supposed incompati-
bic qualities OF yielding a great deal of milk
and beet.

Sad and Singular Casualty.

In yesterdays LEADER we stated
that nj employee Of Frank Whitney
had been seriously injured by being
thrown from u wagon near Spotted
Tail, recently. From MIR. Whitney,
who las just arrived here, we have
obtained full particulars of the sad and
singular accident.
Richard Berkey, the Injured man,
better known n ''San Juan Dick -
hailed from Del Nortc, Colorado, and
was employed IA night her,ler nf the
train. On the afternoon Of Feb. LIST,
when the train had reached n point
seven miles from Spotted Tail. where
n long. steep hill is descended. the
driver of the wagon on which 3erkey
was sleeping started down without
awakening Berkey, rs was his usual
custom, and the wagon was over
turned, four sacks Of the bacon
with which the wagon was loaded,
falling ON the man. In his pocket
was a large jark-knife, which was
pressed against his right groin with
such force. that although the skin
was not broken. internal injuries were
inflicted which have undoubtedly re-
suited fatally ere this.
MIR. Whitney AT once gailoped tn
Spotted Tail, aud Agent Howard sent
out an ambulance Immediately, con-
veying the injured MAJ to the agency,
where medical aid was obtained.
When Mr.. Whitney left Spotted Tail,
on he morning of Feb. 3rd. the agency
physician informed him that Berkey
could not live owe forty eight hours.
Berkey- was about thirty-five years
of age, and has a wife aud family in
San Francisco. Mr.. Whitney speaks
of HIM al having been very indus
trious, temperate and faithful. and
one OF the best men he ever employed.
