dition. | never before saw dairy of cows
in such order. Great care is taken 10 the
management, as to milking, &c. of the
COWS, and the method Of making the butter
contributes not little to render it good"
Yet another note: "Sept. 1884. Mh
Hancock, a London butcher, was brought
by Mr.. Coke 10 see Mr.. Bloomieid's Dew.
ons. Hancock expressed himself highly de.
lighted with the dairy and stock. Speaking
generally Of Devons, he said, there are no
cattle yield such good bcef, except a very
few Of the very best Scots. He also said
he took ten shillings worth more Of fat out
of Devons than out Of any other sort (same
sized animals. )-Aga,, he said the srloin
Of Devon was longer by s inches, than Of
any other breed, (same size, and that he
cut tbree sirioin pieces out of a Devon,
when he could only cut two from any other
sort. And further, he said there is this dif.
ference between Devons and Scots the
former have less offal beefand mere roas.
ting meat than the latter, or than any breed
that he has tried. He always prefers buy.
ing Devons when he can procure them.
This Mr.. Hancock is the butcher who was
heard TO say in London by butcher Of
Wells, Norfolk, that the two very best bul.
locks he ever hung up in his shop we're Of
Mr.. Boom6eld's feeding"
Now, sir, if you deem the above Of any
value you are at liberty to make what use
you please Oft. I should prefer your in.
cooperating any portion of It in your propo-

But there is, for the generality Of planters
yet another and serious difRculty--Sup.

country where cattle, and especially beef
are not primary objects, but where the prin.

grasses, and even the care Of natural rpea.

provision whatever is made Of roots or sue.
culent food, still there is for most people an
insurnountable difficulty Ia the price Of the
improved Short horns.
A gentleman near this city ofanpe means
and having every facility there, lately sen.

some Shor. horn heifers Of indisputable pc.

his limit. H.,
The editor has just received a letter from
an eminent Irish breeder, who says, !"

guineas, say seventy. five each, and for hei.

to my best bull, fifty guineas each, delivered
by me in Belfast shipping port, or Liv-
