The remarkable reception accorded to the volume by breeders of Shorthorns all over the world, and the high praise bestowed upon it by the Press, agree in describing the History as the most comprehensive yet published on its subject, and the standard work on Shorthorn Cattle. It deals not only with the History of the Breed in the British Islands, but also follows the fortunes of the Shorthorn across the seas to the Colonies and Foreign Countries, where it has made history in the great Cattle Breeding Industry. The best systems of management are fully dealt with, and altogether the work is well-nigh an indispensable companion to breeders of Shorthorn Cattle throughout the world. CONTENTS. Chapter 13.
