In the article Cattle we have illustrated the breed as they were known one hundred years ago. The illustrations, on adjoining pages, of a bull and cow of to-day will serve to show the perfection to which Devons are now brought through careful breeding and feed- ing. Youatt, in reference to the history of this breed; written in the early part of the century, says. The north of Devon has been long cele- brated for a breed of cattle beautiful in the highest degree, and in activity at work and apti...- tude to fatten uurivalod. The native country of the Devons, and where they are found in a state of the greatest purity, extends from the river Taw westward, skirting along the Bristol Chan- nel; the breed becoming more mixed, and at length comparatively lost before we arrive at the ■ Parrett. Inland it extends by Barnstaple, South Molton, and Chumleigh, as far as Tiverton, and thence to Wellington, where again the breed becomes unfrequent, or it is mixed before we reach Taunton. More eastward the Somersets and the Welsh mingle with it, or supersede it.
