1t may he noted, in addition, that in lin
cal rank, for net profit, the second five, or

other ShortIiorn appears until No. "a, and
the last of the IL Jerseys was No. % (of
the 40 cows.) 1t is thus seen that several
of the cows differed only few cents as to
their net profit in 30 days. The range Of
debts and credits in the three herds was as
follows:
| BREED. TOTAL CREDIT TOTAL DEBIT
jer-cy, SIS 30 to 81 GO Sa.2l 10 $50
| Guernsey, SO to 1877 90 10 7-i6
| Short morn, 9.63to 20.03 6.l3 to $40
Test No. 4, known as the young herd or
hefer test, included only seven Jerseys and
six Short-lIorns, AL less than two years old,
and covered the first q deys of October.
The detailed report hns not yet been pre-
pared, but it is koo~n that the Jerseys won
| by an average net profit of only about IA
cents more than the Short-IIorn average.
The "hgh five" is made up of three Jerseys
an, two Short-IIorns. The contest was
close all through. The Jerseys made good
deal more butter than their competitors, but
gain in weight was also credited, and the
Short Horns scored finely in that line.
Sweepstakes awards are also to be made,
basel upon the records during the first 10
days of each of the first three parts Of the
entire test, governed by the rules Of those
parts. The committee has made its report
