AN rrEn or miiC5i IMPORTANCE
AND USEFULNESS FOR Ey ERR
FARMER.
In the Office of this paper are taken
subscriptions on the following new Book !;
"a Method of increasing the yield of the
Mich Cow. by selecting the proper ami
mails Tor the Dairy. according to Guenon's
discovery Tested and verified by many
years of observation and experiments. inn
proved and simplified. classified and ar
ranged. by John Neffien. Practical Agri-
cuIturalist since 1915. Member of two
German State Agricultural Societies, and
of three District Societies formerly edi-
tor of the Field and Garden Magazine.
and Author of Manual on Domestic
Economy. With rs illustrations. Phila-
delohia. 1853.
The author of this work is willing to
give lessons in two hours to the Farmer
for him to know thoroughly
9. How many quarts of milk every
COW yields from the time of calving, and
how long 1hey will remain dry.
2. Also on every female calf, when it
comes to an age of three or more months,
whether she will make q good or bad
mich cow.
3. That he can seek out further, which
bull, and which bull cali will contribute
to the increase or decrease ofthe yield of
milk in raising their own breeding cattle,
and
4. Which bullock and OK is less pro-
per for fattening. or will make less weight
Of meat.
The above instruction was approved by
the Agricultural Societies in Philadelphia,
Harrisburg and Reading on good many
faIms, and the truth of which and many
fold incalculable profit was testified by
. them, and the documents can be seen by
calling at this Office.
For example, the first certificate of the
Philadelphia Society reads as follows
Report of the Committee appointed to in
vestigate the merits of MIR. John Neff-
lens Simpli6cation of Guenon's Me-
thod of testing the value of Milkcows ::
The Committee to whom was entrust-
ed the examination of Guenon's system,
very respectfully offer the result of their
proceedings
As the subject is one of great practical
Importance to the farmer, and no conf
dence in it can be created by vague ge-
neralities or isolated assertions on the
part of those who may have given to it
some attention, the committe havesendea-
vored by personal observation to verify
the published statements. The fortunate
arrival in this country of a German farm-
err, Mr.. Nefflen, has offered a most happy
opportunity of developing the nature and
character of Guenon's observations, and
the mode in which an adept in the science
proceeds in his examinations. More
than forty cows were examined by this
gentleman in the presence of members of
the Committee. All the remarks of Mr..
Neffleu, all the questions and answers
were taken down at the moment by Mr..
Arthur Cannon, photographic reporter ;
and all his statements were compared
with those of the ownersof the cows. In
this form and in this critical mode ofpro-
ceeding. the Committee thought it posi-
BILE to remove every doubt they them
selves, or others might feel in the truth
of the system. and be enabled to offer to
. the society and the Agricultural commu-
nifty clear and truthful history of this
Interesting discovery. After a full and
particular investigation, carried on in the
most searching manner, and sharpeued by
incredulity, the Committee have no he
station in giving their adhesion, and ex-
pressing their concurrence in the views OF
Guenon.
The precision and accuracy with which
Mr.. Nefflen describes the qualities of the
animals. and the uuhesitating manner in
which he revealed all their properties,
could not but impress the Committee
with an entire reliance on his own skill,
and perfect confidence in the views of
his teacher.
