[Entered according to Act of Congress, in the 
[ tc licrdsman 
breeds having a reputation as dairy cattle. 
It not unfrequently happens that a cow will 
continue to yield a good quantity of milk 
from one calving to another." 
What the breed of the present day is like 
is well described by Mr. J. K. Fowt.eb of 
Aylesbury, who, in the capacity of judgo at 
the last meeting of the Norfolk Agricultural 
Association, held at Dereham, June, 1871, 
was pleased to say of thorn: — “ He was 
struck with the remarkable usefulness and 
value of the cattle of this district; the cows 
had good, useful udders, so that, they were 
likely to be capital cows for the dairy; 
while the bullocks had capital chines and 
good backs, but they were somewhat de¬ 
ficient in the springing of the ribs and in 
the hind quarters. Amongst the lot they 
scarcely found an animal that was not fit 
for a show-yard. As a Short-Horn breeder, 
he wished he could put some of the good 
points he found upon the Norfolk Polled 
cattle on the animals ho was breeding," 
RED POLLED CATTLE 
The Norfolk and Suffolk Red Polled Cat¬ 
tle are attracting attention. The native 
cattle of Norfolk are described as a small, 
hardy, thriving race; fattening as free’v 
and finishing as highly at three years old as 
cattle in general do at four or five; they are 
small-boned, short-legged, round-barrelled, 
well -(oined, thin-thighed, elcau-chapped; 
the head in general fine, and the horns clean, 
middle sized, and bent upward; the favorite 
color n blood-red, with a white or mottled 
face. The breed of Norfolk Is the Hereford¬ 
shire breed in miniature, except that the 
chine and the quarter of the Norfolk breed 
are more frequently deficient. If the Lon¬ 
don butchers are judges of beef, there are
