EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS. 
training produced this striking resemblance ? The Fribourg 
cattle are larger than any native breed of the United Kingdom, 
not very level on top, but evidently good milkers. They 
have a mildness and gentleness in their expression, which 
speaks in unmistakeable language that they are upon very 
intimate terms with their owners. 
“ SCHWITZ. 
“This remarkable breed, as milk-producers, are generally 
alike in colour, being of a dark dun brown, with the under 
parts of a lighter colour approaching to fawn or yellow. The 
price asked by the owners for both of these Swiss breeds was 
fully double what they would have realised in our markets, 
that is, if valued as ordinary dairy cows. This breed, like 
the Fribourg, has eyes so expressive, that those who do not 
place cows very high in the scale of animated nature, would 
do well to study. * Ox-eyed Juno* can be understood when 
looking at the mild eye of the Schwitz cow. 
“ENGLISH BREEDS. 
“The Durhams (shorthorns) were arranged in various 
classes, foreign and native exhibitors being classed separately. 
Several very superior animals were shown. The first-prize 
bulls, cows, and heifers, were fine specimens of the breed. 
The majority of the animals exhibited had previously success- 
fully competed at local shows, and were also good specimens 
of the Durham. Some animals, however, were entered more 
with the view of effecting a sale, than from the hope of their 
being successful as prize-takers.
