Excerpt from Cattle and Their Diseases: Embracing Their History and Breeds, Crossing and Breeding, and Feeding and Management; With the Diseases to Which They Are Subject, and the Remedies Best Adapted to Their Cure; To Which Is Added a List of the Medicines Used in Treating Cattle A marked interest has Of late years been manifested in our country relative to the subject Of breeding and rearing domestic cattle. This has not been confined to the dairyman alone. The greater portion of intelligent agriculturists have perceived the necessity of paying more attention than was formerly devoted to the improvement and perfection of breeds for the uses Of the table as well. In this respect, European cattle-raisers have long taken the precedence Of our own. The gratifying favor with which the author's former publication, The Horse and his Diseases, has been received by the public, has induced him to believe that a work, similar in spirit and general treatment, upon Cattle, would not be without interest for the agri cultural community.
