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.

Cnltnro of Cnrrimts-
Currantfl are not appreciated as they
deserve to be. 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.
