Mn, EDITOR Having finished haydn,
and thinking to have play day, l wen
to sec the herd Of Short Horns, kept OF
the Malvern Farm, more generally known
as the New York Farm" and owned By
A. w. Griswold. was very much in

others Of my farmer neighbow would b.
like interested, | send you few notes
concerning the things that came upde,
my observation.
AS Mr.. Griswold was ia the city, did
not sec him, but was shown the herd by
Mr. Williams, the hcrdsman, who is very
kind and obliging, and seems to be a man
who thoroughly understands his business.
| saw the same herd one year ago, and
could but notice very marked improve
mont in the caro- and attention paid to
them, as well as in the additions that
have been made to the herd since then !;
some that Mr.. Griswold has purchased
quite recently, and which are very beau
tiful animals. The herd numbers some
80 or 33 head. The first that met nv
view, was the Climax" very large and
splendid animal, weighing 2G hundred
pounds, and possessed Of a very fine ped

The Duke of Malvern" very choice
bull, % months old; straight on the back,
good hips, and cook points generally.
" Prince Ernest" II months old, and
weighing ten hundred and nincty-four
pounds,--a most superior creature, and
probably not to be surpassed in the coun-
try. Lilo is Of dark red color, very neat
head, long body, level wide hind quarters,
deep fanks,-4in fact there is no bad
points about him, and he bids fair to out
do his sire, "Old Climax" The "Ia.

both very good, but not qnite equal to the
