In the Curveline Cow, the growths <)f ascending hair, (F F) to the right and left of the , require special attention, in regard to their dimensions, to see that they are of the size indicated in the several descriptions of the different Or- ders. When they are of small size, they do not indicate a very rapid loss of rnilk ; but when they are from four to five inches long, by an inch and a half in width, (in which case they are generally pointed at both ends, and consist of coarse hair,) they may then be considered as the size of a bastard Cow, that will go dry so soon as she is got with calf. As a general rule with regard to these marks, the larger they are, the worse will the Cow be in this respect. (See Plate IX. Fig. 4.) CLASS IV. S^c jBicorn (Koto. This name is given to my Fourth Class, because the upper part of its escutch- eon represents iv/o horns. Cows of this class are good milkers. They are found in all the breeds which we possess in France. In this, as in the other Classes, the general mark of the Class presents itself under modifications indicative of the Order to which the Cow belongs. HIGH COW, First Order.—Cows of this Order and Size yield, while at the hight of their flow, sixteen litres a day, and continue to give milk until they'are eight months gone with calf. Like those of the same Order in the foregoing Classes, they are distinguished by the delicacy of their udder.
