. Our domestic animals, their habits, intelligence and usefulness; tr. from the French of Gos. De Voogt, by Katharine P. Wormeley;. Domestic animals. Friesland Milch Cow depend upon the fancy f)f the breeder for popularity and for perpetuation. The leading; beef breeds, as we call them in America, are the Shorthorn, the Hereford, the Angus, and the Galloway. The Shorthorn, also known as the Durham breed, recei\'ed its first improvement from England, the country that has given the world so many im- proved breeds of farm animals. Among the early impro\'ers of this breed are the Colling Brothers of Ketton, who be- gan their work of improxe- ment more than a centiuy ago ; Thomas Bates, a faithful disciple of the Colling Brothers, who founded the famous Princess, Duchess, and Oxford families ; Richard Booth, who to- gether with his sons did so much to lengthen the hind quarter, to fill up the fore flank, and to secure greater depth of flesh, thus increasing the value of the carcass ; and Amos Cruik- shank, the father of Scotch Shorthorns, who has given us a family of Shorthorns compact and blocky in build, easily fattened, and of superior meat when placed on the block. Prior to rSoo few Shorthorns were imported to this country ; since that date many thousands ha\'e been brought over from their native land. Nearly a million animals of this breed have already been registered by the American Shorthorn Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Voogt, Gos de, 1863-1918; Wormeley, Katharine Prescott; Burkett, Charles William, 1873- ed.
