I Immediately commenced the study
and application of this method to every
cow that come under my observation.

dred cows, and, after carefully marking
their escutcheons, 1 have become satis-
fed that M. Guenon's discovery is one.
of great merit, and can be relied on as
true / have no doubt that / can Judge
very nearly as to the, quantity and quail
ty of the milk any cow viii fisgiYe; al the
height of her flow, and also the time
she will continue in milk after being
with calf.
The way taken to convince myself
of the truth of M. Guenon's method has
been to visit the cow-yards of some of
our principal dairy-farmers and examine
the escutcheons and marks on their cows.
and make up my judgment as to the
quantity and quality of milk each COW
would give af the height of her flow,
and how long she would continue in
milk, after being with calf; then inquire
of the owners how much milk their sew
eral cows would give at the height of
their flow, and how long they would
hold out after being with calf Compa-
ring the owners account with my own
Judgment, / find have been mistaken
in only FIVE cases out Of more than one
hundred examined.
Ihave great confidence in M. Guenon's
method oftesting the milking properties
ofcows, and consider it one of the great
discoveries Of the age. The advantage
Of this discovery to our ry-farmers,
enabling them, as 4 think it does, to
determined the milking propertis of,heir
young stock at an early age, must be.
very great and will be appreciated by I
every one VINO IS in the slightest degree
acquainted with the subject. In my
opinion no dairy farmer, after acquaiint-
ing himselfwith NJ. Guenon's discovery,
need possess himself Of q bad milking
