Many farmers in Connecticut raise, match and polish these beautiful cattle preparatory to cultural fairs in long strings when they are not only the admiration of the general public but the pride of their owners. Short-hornS and Holstein- Friesians on account of their great weight excel as draft winners but the Devon leads all breeds general purpose oxen and commands the highest price.-[H. Fl.
