The homeland of the Red Poll cattle is East Anglia, and the claim is made for them that they are dun purpose in the sense of being good That this council welcomes the producera both of milk and beef. animity of the Assembly of the Women have figured as the heads of League in dealing with the Sino- several breed societies.
