He had his eyes intent upon the lasso he was coiling. Suddenly he faced her and the dark fire of his eyes gave her a shock. I've been expecting that shorthorn back for months." he said, bluntly. "You never liked Jack?" queried Columbine, slowly. That was not what she wanted to say, but the thought spoke itself. "I should smile I never did." "Ever since you and he fought long ago all over "
We've got it pretty heavily stocked; we 're working it over into shorthorn. This place that we're on now has a fence all around it; the country is becoming crowded. And they are breaking farms all the time, too. It won't last long." "Won't that be a shame!" said Janet. "People spoil everything, don't they? I am glad I came down here just to see the Texas prairie in spring.
Hetty blushed a deep rose-colour when Captain Donnithorne entered the dairy and spoke to her; but it was not at all a distressed blush, for it was inwreathed with smiles and dimples, and with sparkles from under long, curled, dark eyelashes; and while her aunt was discoursing to him about the limited amount of milk that was to be spared for butter and cheese so long as the calves were not all weaned, and a large quantity but inferior quality of milk yielded by the shorthorn, which had been bought on experiment, together with other matters which must be interesting to a young gentleman who would one day be a landlord, Hetty tossed and patted her pound of butter with quite a self-possessed, coquettish air, slyly conscious that no turn of her head was lost.
But they were many, and we fled before them with our shorthorn cattle, our goats, and our barleyseed, our women and children. While the Snub-Noses slew our youths at the rear, we slew at our fore the folk of the valley who opposed us and were weak. The village was mud- built and grass-thatched; the encircling wall was of mud, but quite tall.
The first "improved" cattle in California and the first cross made for dairy purposes was Jersey bulls upon grade Shorthorn cows. Later the Holstein Friesians became popular and they and their grades are now most abundant. A Free Martin. I have a Jersey cow who has just had twin calves, a heifer and a bull. The heifer was born about five minutes before the bull and seems to be the stronger.
What in hell's brought you around now? What they done your way?" His manner roused the foreman to a soreness he wasn't slow in showing. "Jest thirty Shorthorn yearlings," he said without any attempt to soften the blow. "Jest thirty prize stock." The announcement had an unlooked-for effect. Where Nan expected another furious display Bud remained silent.
Sheriff Wherry informed me that the only move attempted on the part of the shorthorn drovers was the arrest of Sponsilier and myself, on the charge of being accomplices in the shooting of one of their men on the North Platte. But the sheriff had assured the gentlemen that our detention would have no effect on quarantining their cattle, and the matter was taken under advisement and dropped.
But it was the other man that caught my eye. He stood with his back to the fire leaning his elbows on the mantelpiece. He was a perfect mountain of a fellow, six and a half feet if he was an inch, with shoulders on him like a shorthorn bull. He was in uniform and the black-and-white ribbon of the Iron Cross showed at a buttonhole.
Ezra Gold, seein' as I'm this way. I'm told he wants to part with that shorthorn cow of hisn, and I'm allays game for a bit o' trade." "Ah!" said Mrs. Sennacherib, shaking her doleful head. "He'll part with everythin' earthly, poor man, afore he's much older." "Why," cried Snac, "what's the matter with the man?" "The young uns see nothin', Miss Blythe," said Mrs.
Let the shorthorn go sleep onder a mesquite-bush; it'll do him good a whole lot. "'I'm some doobersome of this play, says Cherokee.

Be you equal to it?
