Vol. X 





A FRIEND in North Carolina inquires for any breed 

 or variety of polled or hornless cattle of high value for 

 dairy purposes; whether it be native, grade, or foreign, 

 is immaterial, the only requisites being hornless, milk- 

 ing richly and copiously, with hardy constitution and 

 good form. He also asks, "Are the polled Galloways, 

 or the polled Suffolk dun cattle, to be found in your re- 

 gion ? and if so, can there be found among them any 

 individual families milking richly and abundantly,— 

 thus qualifying them for dairy stock." The editor not 

 being able to answer these inquiries satisfactorily, 

 throws them in this manner before his readers, with a 

 hope that some one better informed in the matter, will 

 be pleased to reply to them.
