HUNGARIAN CATTLE. 



M 



Some time since, we spent an hour very pleasantly at the residence of Roswell L. 

 Colt, of Patterson, New Jersey. His grounds are well laid out, and furnished with 

 rare and fine trees. But what we intend now to call attention to, is his fine Hungarian 

 Cattle, a bull and a cow, which he has named Kossuth and Briska. They were exhib- 

 ited by Mr. C. at the late State Fair in this city, where the drawing from which our 



HUNGARIAN CATTLE, OWNED BY ROSWELL L. COLT, OF PATTERSON, N. J. 



engraving is made was taken. The committee make the following remarks in their 

 report on these cattle : " The committee consider them as an experiment in this coun- 

 try. Their usefulness has yet to be tested. We highly commend the enterprize that 

 sent them here. We doubt, however, whether as much improvement to our American 

 herds will be secured, as with the British stock which has been generally adopted. We 

 recommend a Diploma and the thanks of the Society to Mr. Cobt, for his public spirit 

 iu sending them to the exhibition."

Cast Iron Enamelled Stable-Fitting s. — Messrs. Cottam & Hallem, whose splendid 

 castings occupied a prominent position in the crystal palace, exhibited a very beautiful 

 set of stable-fittings — rack, manger, and 

 water-trough, enamelled. They possess the 

 advantages of beauty, durability, and clean- 

 liness, and are certainly well worthy of atten- 

 tion. Wooden fittings are objectionable in 

 many respects — horses gnaw them if they 

 happen to be kept idle in the stable : and if

not looked to very carefully, in warm weath- 

 er especially, they become sour, and prevent horses from feeding well.
