THE SUSSEX BREED OF CATTLE. 143 



The public are thereby assured of the pedigree of the stock 

 they purchase, instead of having to rely on the statement of the 

 vendor. The book at the present time numbers seven hundred 

 and thirty-two bulls, and three thousand six hundred and 

 twenty-three cows. It is also a chronicle of all pedigree prize 

 animals, for breeding purposes, and records the names of the 

 breeders who have gained honours at the Eoyal Agricultural, 

 Southern Counties, or Sussex, and Kent County Shows.
