CHALLENGE FOR MILKING STOCKS 
I WILL show, in the month of June next, 10 three-yar-old and 
10 two-year-old heif rs, got by my Short-EIorn Bull, Marius, 
against as many heifers of the same egos, got by any other bull of 
any breed other than a Short-Horn, or mixture of Short-Horn. [ 
will also show at the Fair of the New York State Agricultural 
Society, in 1849, 10 yearlings and 10 calves, got by the aforesaid 
bull, Marius, against as many animals of the same ages, got by 
one bull of any other breed than that of Short-Horn, or a cross of 
Short-Horn. The decision to be made with reference to prominent 
prospective qualities for milking, to be left to not less than three 
impartial judges, to be appointed at the times they are exhibited. 
I do not make this challenge for the sake of boasting, but to 
defend the Short-Horns against the too often circulated reports 
that they are not good milkers. THOMAS BELL.
