) I saw a breed of caale a few days since, which, as 



' milkers, are preferred to any others by those who like 



small fe ed ers . They do not gire as much milk as 



some largnr cows, bat the qnantity is l^rge for their 



■ riae. T& cow that I saw did not exceed in size a 



I yeartiBg of the natrve breed. Her "points" were ail 



I first-rate, the only disproportion being her bag. which 



was too large for her conTenience. s. p. m.

 some extraordinary laws. The common turtle, for
