532 CATTLE AND DAIRY FARMING. 



butter. Lately the system of making butter from sweet milk by sepa- 

 rators is becoming quite popular. Cheese is made after the method of 

 Holland and Switzeikind, the fat, half fat, and the cream sorts. I 

 have nor seen any cheese, hero of the character of our u Western He-

CATTLE CENSUS OF HUNGARY. 



The proportion of cattle raised for the butcher and the dairy will be 

 &ceii in the following statements, the natives being raised principally 

 for the butcher, and the Ked Spotted and the Brown nearly altogether
