60 Domestic ANIMALS. 
In Norfolk and Suffolk a hornless breed of cows prevails, 
which are almost all descended from the Galloways, “ whose 
general form,” Mr. Youatt says, ‘they retain, with some of, 
but not all, their excellences; they have been enlarged,but not 
improved, by a better climate and soil. They are commonly 
of a red or black color, with a peculiar golden circle around 
the eye. They are taller than the Galloways, but thinner in 
the chine, flatter in the ribs, and longer in the legs; rather 
better milkers; of greater weight when fattened, though not 
fattening so kindly, and the meat is not quite equal in quality.” 
The Suffolk Dun cow, which is also of Galloway descent, is 
celebrated as a milker, and there is little doubt is not inferior 
to any other breed in the quantity of milk which she yields: 
this is from six to eight gallons per day. The butter produced, 
however, is not in proportion to the milk. It is calculated that 
a Suffolk cow produces annually about 14 ewt. of butter. 
The Suffolk Duns derive the last part of their name from 
their usual pale yellow color. Many, however, are red, or red 
and white. They are invariably without horns, and small in 
size, seldom weighing over 700 lbs. when fattened.* 
ll. The Cream-Pot Breed.—This is an American breed, and 
was originated by Colonel Jaques, of Ten Hills Farm, Somer- 
ville, Mass. It is a cross between the Short Horn and the na- 
tive breed of New England. Mr. Jaques gives the following 
account of the origin of this famous breed: 
“ Hearing of cows that produce seventeen pounds of butter 
each per week, the inquiry arose, why not produce a breed of 
such cows that may be depended on? This I attempted, and 
have accomplished. I have made from one of my Cream-Pot 
cows nine pounds of butter in three days on grass feed only. 
“The bull Celebs, an imported thorough-bred Durham, and 
Flora, a heifer of the same breed, and imported, and a native 
cow, whose pedigree is entirely unknown, comprise the ele- 
ments of the Cream-Pot breed of cattle. The native cow was
