White Wild Cuttle of Chillingham Park 



The Ox is spread widely over the earth, scarcely any country being. without its peculiar breed. Every 

 part of the Ox is of value. The young Ox is called a calf, and is quite as useful in its way as the full grown 

 Ox. The flesh is called veal, and by many preferred to the flesh of the Ox or Cow, which is called beef: 

 jelly is made from its feet. The stomach is salted and dried, and is called rennet. Cheese is made by 

 soaking a piece of rennet in water, and pouring it into a vessel of milk. The milk soon forms curd, which 

 is placed in a press, and the watery substance, called whey, squeezed from it. The curd is colored and 



salted, and is then cheese. At Chillingham Park, in England, 

 there is a breed of wild cattle, apparently descendants of the 

 original race that overran England in former years. They still re- 

 tain their wild habits, and when any one of them must be killed, 

 thirty or forty men go out armed with rifles. A keeper mounted 

 on a very swift horse separates the victim from the herd, and 

 drives it by the concealed marksmen, who speedily lay it pros- 

 trate. The color of the Chillingham breed is always white with 

 dark red ears.
