breed. As the improvement Of our breed of
cattle and Of the dairy, so much depends on
Cows, the Committee would recommend that in
this description of stock.
The Committee would also recommend that
in future it be required of persons entering Cows
for q premium, that they give statement in
writing with some proof Of the same, of the
quantity of milk yielded during the season, and
the quantity of butter made thcrefrom if any,
with the nature Of their keeping, it being al
most impossible to judge Of the relative merits
ofCows by a transItory inspection All which
is respectfully submitted
