that is found abroad. In neither Of these points
can we agree with bis conclusions. We believe
that the weight, even as amaIimnm, much more
as average. is greatly exaggerated and we
know that English beef is imported BY every
steamer, finer grained, better marbed and higher
favored, and therefore, commanding higher price
in eatrg houses than any domestic beef All the
other merits of this admirable breed of cattle We
readily concede. Their remarkable union of good
qualities, their singular adaptation to the climate
and constitution of hN countries, the great amount
of work they will do, aud quantity of milk and
beef they will yield on scanty fare and in ragged
district, are not to be disputed and this granted
they will have enough to recommend them, even
though we do not admit them to be the best cattle
in every possible respect, and for every possible
purpose, in the known world.
