THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY AUGUST 2 1881. FARM ANDARDEN. COSTLY COWS. A Now York Banker' * Importation of Shortliorni A Yonn Bull That Gout 83,150 , nnd a Herd of Thirteen Head That Cost 815,000 Philadelphia R rt. In ono of the richest farming di tricts of Burlington o unty , New Jersey , and about four miles from the city of Bordontown , lie about 400 ninri soil formerly ncrcs of good plain , ly the property of Mr. Daniel Sattor- thwait. The location , position of land and of that lying nround about , nnd a number of other necessary pon- vcnionces the farm contained , so struck Mr. Charles Morgan , son of the senior partner of Matthew Mor ' well-known William gan's sons , the - street , Now York , bankers , as being particularly adapted for stock pur poses , that negotiations were at once entered into for purchasing , and what was known n short time ago as the old Sattorthwait Farm occupies now n rather distinguished position among the farming and stock men of the country , by reason of it quartering ono of the most valuable collections of shorthorn cattle that have over been imported into the country. The herd comprising thirteen head , wore specially selected and purchased by Mr. Morgan from among the very best strains of the Uooth stock , which lias niado the Warlaby Farm , on the banks of the 'Thames , celebrated throughout the world. In England ihoro are but two breeds of Shorthorns to claim any distinction Booth and Bates. They nro as much temovcd from each other in qualities as the cattle from the Channel Islands , and tho' same fooling in regard to superiority pervades the admirers of each strain. In this country there is considerable prejudice manifested against the Booth brood , nnd probably two-thirds of the Shorthorn importations tionsnro of the Bates stock , But , for all this , it is a question whether the breeding of a Shorthorn simply for its thoroughbred conformation is of moro importance than the brooding for beef nnd the combination of two very essential points , length of quarter , nnd breadth of loin. If for hoof , the Booth is certainly entitled to the superiority , for at all the cattle shows in England of late years where the Booth stock has boon exhibited it has boon awarded the most valuable premiums. It is a rare occurrence to tind a Booth on exhibition , and equally as rare for an American breeder to purchase a herd of War laby'a best stock. In n fine , largo , rich posture-field beside n stream of running water , n Ilecord representative had the pleas ure n foxr days ago of examining the costly and richly-bred family of Short horns that form the foundation of Now Warlaby. It .is nlmoat as much n matter of pleasure as of business with IJIr. Morgan in his new 'enter prise , nnd ho proposes in course of titno to have Now Warlaby as famous for its beauty as for the value of the stock it contains. Before describing the matrons of Now Warlaby , Mr. Morgan , lmd the chief of the herd , Iloyal George , a grand young bull , led from his quar ters , and in every outline the young ster showed marked characteristics of the Booth typo ot Short-horns. Belonging - longing to the choicest of the Booth family , Iloyal George was valued higjc Iy nt Warlaby , and it was with consid erable difficulty ; oven nt the price with which ho was purchased GOO guineas ( $3,150) ) that ho was allowed to leave England. Iloyal George is n roan , quite .a choice color , and was calved April 7 , 1880. Ho was sired by Iloyal Stewart , of tlio Ohriston tribe , ono ot the best bulls in Em/land : dam Mina , she by Royal Bonpdictput of commandor-in-Ohiof. Margaret , by - - Iloyal Benedict is valued highly nt Warlaby , and is rented out to the queen at COO guineas n year. The Ohriston tribe , of which Iloyal Stow- nrt , the sire of Iloynl George , is a descendant , holds the place of honor among the Booth Short horns , and they originated from Ain- derby cow by Thomas Booth's Jerry (4,007 ( , ) of the Lady Betty tribowhich cow , being put to the Halnaby Priam (2,452 ( , ) produced Ohriston. Iloyal George is quito an admirably formed nnd stylish young bull , with n fmo head , good shoulders , straight back , great length and depth of quarters , broad across the loin , nnd ho has that promising , growthy look about him which indicates that in another six months ho will bo n bull of good size nnd magnificent proportions. In tlio rod and white bull Iloyal Magistor , cnlVod July 23 , 1880 , bred in Ireland , Mr. Morgan has not ns finished a youngster as Iloyal George , yet there is no reason why ho _ should not develop into as'choice a ShortHorn - Horn ns those of the great faihily of which lie is a representative. His sire was n Iloyal Crown , bred by Booth , ho of the lloyal _ Merry family. The dam of Iloyal Magistor was Iloyal Modrod , she of King William ( Booth ) , the pedigree going down to Hopeful nnd' ' Hecate. Hopeful was ono of the sires of the famotis George tribe , of which Wedding-Day , the first-priuo cow at the World's Exhibition in this city in 1870 , wus a descendant , Passing from the quarters of the bulls to tno field in which the cows and calves were grazing , attention was drawn to a well-shaped red cow of strong Booth resemblance. In answer to a question as to her brooding , Mr. Moraan said that Meriam was calved March 11,1870 , and ho considers her ono of the best cows in the herd. She has a pretty head , well-shaped neck , fine shoulders , is very thick through the heart , level from shoulder to thigh , deep-flanked , broad across the loin , and full of quality. Her sire was Royal Benedict , the sire of Mina , dam of Iloyal George ; damMarthajby King James of the Ohriston tribo. Meriam'fl heifer calf , Maid of Now Warlaby , dropped March 1,1881 , by Iloyal Stewart of the Ohriston family , is thickly framed , richly fleshed , and altogether a shapely lieifur. "That , " said Mr. Morgan , pointing to a grand-looking red and white cow , "is Saxon Queen , of the Bright Anna tribe , She wus calved on the 4th of January , 1870 , and was bred by Mr. Booth , Her sire was Royal Halnaby ( ChrUton ) , dam Bright Saxon , she by Iloyal Pnnco , and .BO on down to the seventeenth dam. " There is hardly n cow at New Waralaby tliat impresses s visitor njoro with the idea of a prize Short-Horn than the looks and gener al conformation of Saxon Queen. She has a beautiful head , with an admir ably turned horn , splonded neck vein , finely-fleshed shoulders , n good front , heavy in flank , and magnificently fleshed throughout. She is in calf to Iloyal Protector , a bull of considerable prominence in England. In Marshall's Gift , a red nnd while cow , bred by Mr. PickoreU , and drop ped Oct. 8 , 1873 , Now Warlaby has undoubtedly a very choice cow. not a handsome as Meriam and Saxon Queen but quito as useful , of much substance , and of a family highly valued in Eng land. She is a largo-sized , deep-bar reled cow , nnd ono of the best milk ing cows thai can bo found. Marshall Gifl's Ihrco-ycar-old roan daughter , Ilosmond 3d , by Bezique , bred by Mr. lloinman , or 0rattan Park , is a finely proportioned cow , with a good rib and loin , of pleasing look , and full of quality , llosmond 3d dropped n rather good-shaped anil promising bull calf on March 17,1881 , by Lord llighlhorn , A splendid representative of the failums Georgia family is the roan cow Georgia Ilogia , bred by Mr , lluin * man , nnd dropped on the 21st of March , 1879. Her sire was King of TrUmps. dam Generous , by Merry Moimrcn , Closely related to the dis tinguished Centennial prize-taker , Wedding Day'sho possesses a combi nation of fine points which may not bo fully outlined as those of her emi nent cousin , but which will undoubt edly develop as she grows older. Nothing even now can bo advanced to her discredit in form and appear ance , having a fmo head and neck , well-laid shoulders , with rich color , exquisite flesh and majestic style , to gether with capital ribs and beautiful symmetry. Georgia Rcgia's half-sislor , Georgia Rufa , dropped 5lh of March , 1880 , by Pluto , is also a ncal , well-formed specimen of the Georgia family , and as both are well worthy of their high lineage , it' is to bo hoped lhat the pastures of Now Warlaby will suit them , and that they will produce for Mr , Morgan a choice quality of Short horns. Georgia Rufa has been served by Iloyal Gcorpo. "Now , here , " said Mr. Morgan , placing his hand upon a symmetrical ly fanned roan , "isn cow I prize very tiigtily , nnd think fr6m quality and liigh brooding she has few equals. Her riamo is Moira. bred by Mrs. Perry , in Ireland , and dropped May 15 , 1878. Moira's father was lied Cross Knight [ 35,299 , ) dam Iloyal Mary , was _ King Llichard. " Moira may bo considered the beau ideal ot a Shorthorn. She lias a handsome head and frame , with grand style and romarbably nice hair ( ind flesh. Moira. is in calf to Iloyal Grown , the produce of which should bo exceedingly valuable. Bright Rose , dropped on the 10th of November , 1875 , is an uncommon ly fine-looking cow in appearance , being - ing well framed , level-backed , deep and lengthy ciuartors , and with a sur prisingly good sot of limbs. By Rily Royal from Pride of the West , she was enabled with her admirable conforma tion to canturo two of ' the highest prizes at Stowo and Bambrian. Her 1st of April son , Iloso King , by High- thorn , is n shapely little follow , rich in quality , and of considerable pro mise. This completed the examina tion of the valuable herd at Now Warlaby , the thirteen head of which cost Mr , Morgan in England nearly $15,000. Inquiry on to the location , size , and conveniences of the quarters of the herd brought the reply from Air. Mor gan thai ho was going contrary to cus tom , and proposes experimenting upon the treatment generally observed by brooders. As long as the rich pasture lasts the cows will bo kept en tirely in the field. Ho does not want them fat , either , as they are likely to throw their calves. MARKETING CATTLE. How the 'Wild Toxns Steer * are Driven , to tlio Shipping Points 1 > y the Cow Boys- Kansas city Times. For the benefit of our eastern read ers who never , saw a wild Texan oilhor sloor or cow-boy , wo will en deavor to give n faint idea of the manner in which largo herds of cattle are driven to the various shipping points along the Missouri. Lot us suppose that the purchase of the cattle has already been made , and x detail of cow-boys been selected to take charge of the herd and see to Ihoir safe delivery across the bosom of the Big Muddy. Only the finest steers nro selected from the herd of thousands ot wild Texas cattle , and when the boys take possession of them , ono of the number acts in the capacity of "boss. " Each cow-boy is mounted on a fine stood , and then the work of driving is commenced. The jovored wagon containing bedding and food for the herders , and generally presided over by the cook , follows , or akua the load an is most convenient. When it is difficult to nmko the herd novo onward the drivers give vent to unearthly yells , that may bo heard 'or miles , and rush forward with their Conies , never forgetting to yell until ho cattle again move on. It somo- imca happens that they must pass through seine frontier village and the expectant citizens eagerly throng , the . ) ublio thoroughfare to witness the pushing , crowding and rushing of hun dreds of wild cattle that never before saw human habitation. Occasionally a small boy gives vent to a mimaturo cow-boy whoop , and then the cattle , seemingly with ono accord , rush off in the opposite direction followed by tno herders eager to head them oil' and swearing lustily at the youth who caused tno stampede. However , they are soon turned , the small boy rushes to the arms of his father , and the herd moves on. The real fun and danger does not commence until the loading of the boat that crosses them to the eastern banks of the mighty river of the west. Previous to this they are driven into the shipping stock yards , separated in small herds and placed in pens ready for loading. Whenever the boat is ready the pen is opened , the boys rush in with their ponies and with shouts and curses the now terrified cattle are diven into the "chute1 ? and rUshed headlong on the boat , Occasionally , however , the loading is more difficult and often attended with danger. The cattle , while in the chute , become scared , refuse to go aboard , and in stantaneously rush back lo the start ing , place ; the mounted cow-boys put spurs to their ponies in order to get beyond the reach of their murderous looking horns , while those who have undertaken the job on foot bound lightly over the fence to a place of safety. During this excitement the boys never forget to give vent to the most hideous yells imaginable that may lie hoard for miles up and down the river. The cow-boys are persevering fol lows , nnd soon succeed in loading their cattle ofteniimes two or three days are spent in loading , during which time the cattle are without feeder or water bul nol wilhoul some loss to the herd. Occasionally ono falls overheard and is drowned , while others fall down and are trampled upon and killed by the thoroughly ex cited herd. The loss of horns is always expected , nnd ono can usually sco a score or moro brokoi elF while a few hundred calllo are being loaded. When the herd is delivered to the buyer the boys usually "take in" the nearest town nnd make things lively for a few days nnd then return to the ranches to give ? some of Iho ot\iar \ cow-punchers n chance lo visit civili zation , In regard lo the ace at which well- grownheiforsshouldbobredwo , believe that nothing is gained by coupling with the male until the } ' are verging on maturity ; then ( hey have reached a point when the requirements of a fcjotus will not interfere wilh Ihoir own growth ; but they should bo bred M soon ns they reach this point , in order to bring into action the lactcnl functions which are moro easily stim ulated when young , than if neglected and allowed to remain quiescent until a laler period. Some of the best breeders wo know , breed their virgin stock at from 15 to 18 months from birth. And experience goes lo prove that when thus bred they make moro docile cows as well as boiler milk ers than if allowed lo go unsorved until twenty-four or thirty months old. Besides this the earlier profit they bring is an important considera tion. When such cows have survived their usefulness in the dairy or on the farm in the production of milk and butler , or chocsii , they can cosily bo made ready for the block , and their broad backs , fine quality and easy faltoning habit which shorthorns and their grades possess , come in to add an extra and acceptable amount to the sum total of their usefulness nnd profit. [ Prairie Fanner. The Dairy- While the dairy interest is attract ing wide attention , and will continue to do so in this country 'because it is n source of a largo export trade , as well as supplying a growing demand for cheese and butter of high quality at homo the development of deep milking cows ought to command Iho serins attention of dairymen and farm ers generally. The question as to , the best breed for the dairy has boon a prolific theme of discussion , each of the prominent breeds having no lack of friends to champion Ihoir claims lo suotiority. While disclaiming a de cided preference for any particular brood , wo have steadily advocated and advised our dairy and farmer readers to improve the cows they have , by brooding the best of them those that give the best returns in the dairy to pure bred males lhat como of well es tablished milk strains of families of 8omo of Iho improved broods. Neither in the dairy nor on the farm , QP a rule , does the improvement of the milking qualities of the cow receive the at tention it deserves. While the dairyman must study his interests in the selection of stock adapted to his particular line of busi ness , or lib specialty the general far mer will find it lo his advantage to raise slock combining in Iho same ani mal the production of both beef and milk , for it will hardly bo questioned that it is only on largo farms that dif ferent breeds of cattle , for different objects , can bo kept with the most profit. The cow for the farmer is ono that combines the two qualities of beef and milk , and high grades may bo , and are , produced with the short horn cross that possess thcso Iwo qualilios in a marked degroo. The evidence is conclusive on this point. The milking quality of this renowned race is well authenticated ; Iho records are roplolo wilh evidence of Iho breed lo produce deep aptness of the breed to produce deep milkers. The ubsonco of this quality in animals of this breed i.s duo - to breeding to points other than milk ; but with judi cious breeding in the direction of dairy qualities , thuso qualities are , as has been demonstrated , easily re- storm ! . Prof. Arnold says in his work on "Dairying" that "it is doubt ful whether there has over boon any better milk stock than the Short horns , and they will have a most per sistent tendency to transmit that quality to their descendants , and where a deep milking quality has not been counteracted , or where it has been the least restrained , as in Iho Princess family , it has remained near ly in its original stnlo and is trans mitted with most remarkable cer tainty. " In brooding to obtain what is want ed , several important questions uro to bo considered , nnd ono of the first is the ago at which heifers should be bred to develop the cow. It lias boon apt ly said that the heifer is the making of the cow ; for however finely bred she may bo her subsequent usefulness nnd value may bo seriously impaired by neglect. Judicious treatment during calfhood which moans plenty of suit able food and exorcise give fine muscular development , vigor , strength and natural size , instead of a dwarfed body , impaired constitution in conso- of want of food and care , pod treatment insures thritty growth without fattening , for if the tendency to fatten is developed by over-feeding , it will bo at the expense of the lacteal functions.

They can bo raised al loss expense limn almost any kind of small fruit , while Ihey can bo used for ft greater number of purposes. They nro excellent for pics , tarts and sauce while green , and ns table fruit when ripe they have few superiors. They remain on the bush a very long time , nnd are not likely lo fall off oven when quite ripe. By common consent they make the finest jelly that can bo produced , while a very good substitulo for grape wino may bo made from them. It is very easy to obtain n sup ply of currant bushes or of sprouts from which bushes can bo grown The best cuttings are obtained from wood grown Iho same year or Iho year pre vious to that in which they are taken. They should bo iibput six inches long and rooted by placing Ihem perpen dicularly in the ground so that only about two buds nro above it' . They should stand in rows five or six inches apart , the rows being at least a foot apart. The soil occupied by the nur sery rows should bo quito rich and bo kept free from weeds nnd grass. The young bushes can be transplanted lo Iho rows where Ihoy are lo stand per manently at the end of ono or Iwo years. It is best to cut and plant cut tings and to transplant bushes in the fall just after Iho leaves have fallen from the stalks. If sot nt this time roots will make a good growth before the ground freezes. The rows of bushes should bo about fivofeet npart , but the bushes may bo within throe feet of each other in Iho row. The culture consisls in keeping Iho soil free from grass nnd weeds and in the liberal application of manuro. The currant is a very gross lecdor and to insure vigorous bushes and a largo yield of choice fruil , much ma nure must be applied. It is well to apply stable manure in the form of a mulch in the fall , and to work it into the soil in the spring. Urine from the chamber or stable is an excellent fertilizer for currants. It is not best to run a plow or cultivator between rows of currant bushes , as either of them is likely to damage the roots. As the bushes become old and largo il is besl lo remove some of the old wood every year. Currant bushes should not stand on ground shaded by trees or fences.
