A 9 RICULTURAL.



AT one OF the fairs Of the Bristol
tMass) Agricultural Society, the com
mittce on mich cows found fourteen
animals exhibited by several persons,
presenting an uniformity in points Of
excellence and general appearance,
which would be extraordinary were it
not known to he the result of attention
and adherancc to blood. The charac-
ter OF this family of stock-bred by
Mr.. Rodman, in New Bedford-has
been established and maintained for
years. These cows present a practical
lesson, which we have thought worth
recalling for our readers.
Some twenty-five years ago, Mr..
Rodman owned valuable Alderncv
COW, which he bred to an imported
lShorthorn bull, of an excellent milk
ing family. The produce Of this cross
was a COW which lived to great age,
and was invaluable to the dairy. From
herself and first calf by Shorthorned
bull, descended all the animals spoken
OF above--all got BY Ayrshire bulls Of
acknowledged excellence. Neither Of
the cows ever produced an indifferent
milker. and their dairy qualities have
been transmitted to their descendants
even distantly rcmoved-all are noted
for large yield Of rich milk. "Can
the same," ask the committee, from
whose report we condensc the above,
be said Of any yard whose owners
have depended upon chance cows and
drove bulls!"
