BUTTER-COWS. 507

Teton produce milk of an extraordinary richness. There H Sate ny is great convenience in polled, or hornless cattle;; VIN thy and I have been thinking, that a Suffolk bull would‘ hot to by be a good cross for long-horned cows 5 by breeding| thus, in and in, it is probable the horns would, in, i Ik, calves time, be lost, and the variety tarn out extremely va- uy reir dams luable, both for quantity and quality of milk. 5 woul, All animals should receive the most patient, gen- ANY trou. tle, and humane treatment, milch-cows in particu- ; lar, which are necessarily, from their condition, date of subject to an increased share of irritability, and the K polled damage the milk receives from their being flurried n feed, and ill-used, is very considerable./ say this to mas- urn out ters and mistresses, who, however regularly they may ‘entish go to church, are guilty of a high breach of their ortion moral duty, when they do not enforce, both by exam- busi ple and precept, the humane treaiment of all animals. on, ih It is much the safest way, to suffer no cows to be milked, without having both head and légs secured; eee for the quietest cow alive, milked loose, always aie, kicks her pail of milk down, once or twice a year, ine at least.
