them from England; they were of the long-horned 

 kind, remarkable for their beauty and their milk, but 

 they are nearly loft from the want of proper attention 

 in keeping good bulls ; a few of this breed are ftill in 

 exiflence at Orange-field, in the hands of Mr. Beatfon, 

 who for fome time paid confiderable attention to his 

 flock, and had many cows of great beauty. At Mon- 

 talto there was an uncommon fine breed of cattle ; the 

 heifers came from Dean Harman's ftock in Longford, 

 and the original bull from Headfort, of the Craven 

 breed: many of the farmers crofTed their Hock with 

 thefe, and the improvement was obferved to a confider-

 other parts of the county are as follow. Lord Annefley 

 has a very fine dairy of long-horned cows of the old 

 breed, and a remarkable and beautifully formed bull 

 of Sir John ParnelFs breed, and like wife a heifer he 

 brought from the Queen's county a few years ago. 

 Mr. Ward's cattle at Bangor, for figure and fize taken 

 together, are, I believe, the firft in the county; they 

 are of the late Lord De Montalt's breed, and were ob- 

 tained at a very high price. Mr. Reilly, of Scarva, has 

 alfo been very attentive in procuring cattle from the 

 weft of Ireland. At Mr. Waring's, of Moira, are 

 likewife a few very nice cows; all thefe are of the 

 long-horned breed, as are Mr. Douglafs's, who has a 

 number of fine cows of the fame kind, and a bull of 

 Lord Annefley's breed, a very fine one. Mr. Ford, of 



Seaford,
