Cattle Breeding.
Much has been written about acclimatisation of cattle and sheep, and it is a well-known fact that some breeds are not at all cosmopolitan in character As an instance of this, the Live Stock Journal was informed recently by a gentleman now Home from New Zea land that he bad sent from England two years a#o several two-years old boilers, which he is sure the breeder would not now be able to r-cogni«e. These animals have entirely changed in character. Their coats are much thicker and coarser, and their frames much bigger and stronger, and not at all like the neat lithe and fine handlers they were when they arrived in New Zealand. Their ability to fill the milk pail is in no way diminished, although they have changed in external appearance. — Budget.
