We do not purpose to enter into any lengthy dirquisition on this race, but will say that they are a most valuable breed of cattle, which have existed in the northern countries of England from time immemorial.

There are numerous instances of

Milking Qualities of eieieary butter making by Short horn

cattle, and there is, perbaps, no race in Great Britain, which has done such great things, so far as regards yield of milk as ‘this rece, and at the present moment, Lord Warwick's, Mr. Tisdall’s, and other records stand out as probably the best results which have been obtained by any race in any country.

| To partiy substantiate the statements ;made by Mr. Long, | may here state that ‘at the great dairy show held at the Agri- cultural Hall, London, in the autumn of 1881, where all breeds of cows were in- vited to attend for competition, Mr. | Tisdall’s Herd .Book pedigree Shorthorn ‘cow, Matchless, took champion prize over all other breeds, The milk test was made |in respect to quantity and quality fer the production cf botter and cheese.

The Ayrshire Cow is the cow of Scotland, very hardy, small in size, with short legs, and comparatively long body. She is an excellent milker, and thrives better than jmost breeds on poor or rough pasture,

I have not seen any real data from which reliable figures through tests can be ob- tained as to either butter or cheese making by the Ayrshire Cow; but Mr. David Allea, a veterinary surgeon of Scotland, who has had a large experience with this breed, says ‘The best yield of 750 gals. per annum gave 175 lbs. of butter and 550 ibs. of cheese,” He further states, ‘although this may uot be an over-esti- mate with regard to the very choicest cattle, yet, from what I have seen im such herds as the Duke of Buccleuchs, Mr. Hogan’s, and others, I have cometo the conclusion that while such animals as these are to be had, it is only at immense cost, whereas the generality of Ayrshires pur- chasable at market prices are extremely moderate beasts, and, although more than usually valuable where the feed is poor, and the situation bleak and cold, are easily surpassed by some of the other races whether for milk selling, butter or cheese making.”

The Herefords are not thought much <f for their milking properties, but when crossed with the Shorthorn, the issue is jound uncommonly good. The practice in England of letting the cows of this breed suckle their calves in the open field detracts much from a good supply.

The Devons give milk of a high quality and may be considered fair milkers, superior to the Herefords. The Sussex cattle which much resemble the Devons, being deep red in color without any white markings, are not good milkers, but the Norfolk end Suffolk Poles possess good milking qualities, and do not easily go dry. Mr. Loug in his report to the American Governments cf this breed says: “The Rd Pole which clearly is not so high!y patronized as it ought to be, has something more fer it in the near future, for it isa thorough gcod all-round farmers cow. It feeds weil, is an extremely deep milker, and as can be easily shown, gives milk of aricher qual.ty as a race, than any but the Channel Islend breeds. The work done by this breed in its own couniry is sc universally sati:fac- tory, that it can only be because it is not better known that it is not more extensively bred in other parts of England.

The Pole Augus or Aberdeens, are black cattle without horns, they have few equals as beef cattle when fitted for the shambles. They giverich milk, but very little of it. The Galloways are also black and horn- less, and resamble in general character the Aberdeens, being good for beef, but poor milkers, and have tendency to go very soon dry. The Kylo or West Highland breed of cattle are very ancient, and are most numerous in Argyleshire. They, like the the Aberdeens and Galloways, are famous for their hardiness and five quality of beef, they give little but rich milk, and are n imerously kept on the estat. s of noblemen voth in England and Scotland, for the puropose of supplying their households with beef. They do not take kindly to stall feeding, but fatten very quickly on geod pasturage. The Welsh cattle are black with large horns. Their beef is thought as good as any in the London market, are good milkers and particularly hardy.

The Kerry cow of Ireland, is perhaps the smallest of all breeds found in Great Britain andIreland. [tis very handsome, has an excellent constitution, and gives milk both in quality and quantity, equal to many breeds that are more pretentious. It 1s admirably suited to the poor tenants, con- suming but little food, and gives good returns for the consumption.
