MILCH-COWS. 



Great differences are known to exist in the quantity of 

 milk which cows yield, as well as the quality of the milk 

 itself. 



The short-horned and galloway breeds give most milk ; 

 more cream is thrown up on its surface, and it produces a 

 greater proportion of cheese. Some persons think the Al- 

 derney breed the best suited for dairies, as yielding a great 

 proportional quantity of milk, and also for consuming a 

 smaller quantity of food, while they increase faster in dimen- 

 sions. The Suffolk duns are also remarkable for the quan- 

 tity and excellence of their milk.
