yielded when fed on grass only, 81 J
quarts of milk per day, Irbm ich was
made 3! pounds "f butter. or a, the rate Of
ri pun Is per week. She wss%mlked
four times every twenty four hours. Her
weight l70 pounds. This shows villa,
il at,ainable in The native breed. Many
If The impaired in The no'lhern and one
