embracing all the prominent breeds. The
Holsteins are the most in numbers, of any
breed, while the short horns, formerly so
numerous, are few. This department IS
one of the most interesting and profitable
of the fair and there are very few persons
who do not enjoy the sight of sleek we'll
rounded cattle. One of the most prom.
nent breeds exhibited is the
JERSEYS.
The largest exhibit of his breed and
an excellent one, is that cf Hon. Freder-
ick Billings of Woodstock, who shows 13
head of various ages A hle young bull
unnamed and as yet unregistered neads
the exhibit. He is out OF the celebrated
COW, Matin, imported by Mr.. Billings, as
the result of his direction to Col. Warinc,
to 90 to the island of Jersey and secure
the best COW there, regardless of price.
Matin has a record II pounds II ounces
of butter i'll seven days, il the dam of lie
Brocq prize who has - dau sht-rs and
granddaughters in the II pound list The
sire, Garfield, Stoke Pogia, is by Exile of
st. Lambert, out of MOllie Garfield, a22
pound COW, owned by w. 5. Webb of Bur
lington.
Next comes Lady Jane of St. Peters,
out of Matin, (before described) by Grey
King, the sire of the famous bull, Farm
er's Glory.
Lady Jane, is considered the model of
the Jersey type, and has always won first
prize wherever shown.

pounds of butter per week in June LAST.
She is by Stoke Pogis of Linden, by Stoke
Pogis, out of the famous COW Matilda 4th,
owned by Miller & Sibley of Franklin,
Pa, for whom she made record of over
800 pounds of butter in one year.
Another two-year-old, Dukes Riotress
dark gray and-white, shows as fine an
udder as can be found and shows great
promise. A yearling, or to be more exact,
h year old last February, now in milk,
shows remarkable development of udder
and hiking capacity, and is now giving
more than 30 pounds of milk per day. She
is by Black Prince of Linden, for which
and out of Lady Coplay, a good

Dull of this breed.
The Gueruseys are like the JERSEYS
butter breed. Tney are. perhaps rather
larger and coarser in bul.d than the Jer-
seys, and are usually n golden yellow in
color, while theiI butter Is remarkably
high-colored. and OF excellent quality,
and we have never been able to discover
why they have not been more generally
introduced for dairy purposes, especially
the butter dairy.
