In connexion with a sale of British Friesian cattle at Lyme Green, Macclesfield, the enterprising breeders made the dispersal known by a set of stanzas in the advertisement pages of the "British Friesian Journal." Here are four typical verses In the spring the Sutton Friesians Must reluctantly be sold.

Come ta Lyme Green then in April, On the minthMo be exact; Come to buy our famous Blossoms; Here is business to transact.
Last year all our Sutton milkmaids, Under strict -official test, Av'raged pounds close on ten thousand—In our County second best.
Oar Pel Klaas then he should suit you, He is "Thumbs Up" all the time; Ho's a cinch, a dandy fellow, Get him now he's in his prime.
