The pioneers in the introduction of Polled
Angus cattle in this county seem to have
great faith in their work, and they are back
ing up their judgment by very considerable
investments as may be seen elsewhere In this
column.
There seems to be a revolution going on in
regard to the breeds of cattle. Any man who
a few years ago would have predicted that
short horns might be superseded by other
breeds would have been laughed at. To-
day the probabilities seem to point in that
direction.
We are requested by a number Of stock
men to say that. Monday, May !, will be stall
lion day in Lexington. The season being so
backward there was no agreement for the
first Monday in April, and the show Their was
not what it should be for this county. Lot
everybody come in that can with their horses.

An exchange says: "The sheer at Jersey
cows as, very good for men poor to keep
a COW and too proudto keep xgoat,, is being
gradually set aside as farmers learn that these
small Jerseys will give more milk, and much
more butter. besides of better quality than
some Of the larger breed of cows. The profit
from q cow can only come from the surplus
above the cost of keeping. As q rule
with smaller cows, more can be lept on the
same feed"
