The principal arguments iifed in favour 

 of the long horned cattle, in preference to 

 the fhort horned breed, are thefe *. 



Firji^ In fatting, they feed much fafter 

 and better than other cattle, require lels grafs 

 in quantity, than the fhort horns, and will 

 do upon much worfe ; but upon the bell of 

 pafture they will thrive to greater profit. 



Secondly^ A dairy of this breed may be 

 maintained upon worfe grafs, and lefs of it, 

 than one of Ihort horns, and at the fame 

 time give a greater quantity of butter and 

 cheefe. 



'Thirdly^ It is afferted, that there is 20/. 

 difference between wintering 30 fhort 

 horned beafts or cows, and 30 long horned 

 ones. 



Fourthly, The advantage of breeding very 

 line bulls of great value, is on the fide of 

 the long horns.

 ever, very perfe(5l in their kind ; witnefs an ox feveii
