domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything Of q harmful or deleteri.
Gus nature, and at price that would

end Of my experiment, but at last

Of the domestic animal. The high

crest storms of winter is one Of the
most important features Of the new
breed. A most remarkable feature.
however, is the fact that even down
to the eighth blood they retain the
fourteen ribs to side possessed by
their pro2euitor-the native buffalo
thus giving more ak.cuttiDg
meat and additional weight. Per.
haps the strangest Characteristic OF
all is the fact that while the buffalo
is exciteable and afraid of human
beings, the crossed breed in much
more gentle. even than the ordinary
