AND CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE JOURNAL. 641. CORRESPONDENCE THE OLD GLOUCESTER CATTLE Sir,—It has struck me this last few years thatwe are letting a valuable race of cattle die breed of Old Gloucester cattle a few yearsagfc had classes at some of the agricultural showswhere there were some very fine specimens exhi-bited, and they always seeiiied to attract grcaattention amongst .agriculturists. In my opinionthey have several distinct points in their favourover a great percentage of the cattle one sees inthe local markets for milk production. They are,I think, quite equal to the average Shorthorn cow,and one seldom sees one with small teats or even,a badly-shaped udder, so common a fault with theShorthorns. They are very content, and will dowell to graze over the second-class pasture land,and will grow into very large, good-framed cattlewith ordinary attention.
