by her very constitution, not excel
ultimately.
My practical reasons:

Two sources NJ information are Mt our

OF private dRirymen owning herds Of
the various breeds, and tho outcome Of
public competitive tests for milk and
butter.
Tho average annual milk yield Of
HOiEteins OF all kinds, ages and lOca-
ton may be put at 10000 lbs. Like
wise may the average per cent. OF fat

would have 10 her credit 800 pounds Of
butter per year. This examination Is
