Of these, twenty races are native to the Austro-Hungarian 

 Empire, but it will be noticed that Swiss and Dutch cattle 

 occupy a very important position. Including the Kuhlander 

 cattle (a constant, yet crossed Tyrolese and Swiss, race), these 

 animals constituted about two-fifths of the Austrian section. 

 Shorthorn crosses appeared to the number of about ten, and the 

 pure breed was not represented. Of these ten, eight were 

 exhibited by the Sugar Factory Company of Keltschan, Moravia, 

 already mentioned, and the remaining two were the property of 

 Josefine Barnreither, of Bohemia, thus giving the most correct 

 idea, that over vast tracts of the Empire the Shorthorn is 

 unknown. This impression was confirmed by travel. 



The Podolian Race. — Baron Jacob Romaszkan, of Horodenka, 

 Galicia, heads the Austrian catalogue as an exhibitor of Podolia* 

 bulls and working oxen. This race is distributed over the greater 

 part of Galicia, the exception being the mountainous district of 

 the Carpathians, where a distinct race prevails. It is computed 

 that Galicia sends about 20,000 fat cattle annually to the markets 

 of Vienna and Olmutz. The cows give, after weaning their 

 calves, 725 litres, or 160 English gallons of milk per annum. 

 It often requires six or seven months to fatten them (Moll and 

 Gayot). For milking and fattening purposes, therefore, the 

 Podolian race is not of great value. It is as working oxen that 

 they are most esteemed. MM. Moll and Gayot state that they 

 will travel 2^ miles per hour when yoked to an empty waggon, 

 and 1^ mile per hour when drawing a load. The four oxen 

 exhibited at Vienna were trained to six different methods of 

 yoking. They were fine-looking animals, of silver-grey colour, 

 very uniformly tinted over the whole body, but slightly darker 

 on the shoulders and haunches. The horns, which are charac-
