Board of Veterinary Examiners, which was sent to us by Dr. 
H. M. Ball, of Columbus, and among the various sections which 
the bill presents, we will call the attention of our readers to

Norman Bovine Race. —Our remarks in the June Review 
upon the superior quality of this French breed, which has been 
suggested to us to take the place of the fashionable and excel¬

large number of inquiries upon the Cotentine cow—her milking 
qualities, her endurance, size, etc., and to answer these letters in

has been most encouraging; while the replies furnish much 
valuable information, of which advantage will be taken when 
we come to that feature of this issue that bears upon the scales 
of points. 
Numerous communications have also been received com¬ 
mending the work of research upon the different styles of
