| ton.
State Dairy Inspector Russell S.
| Smith announced, Thursday, the re-
suit of the contest in the four cow
milk and butter fat test. Regarding
| the contest Mr. Smith says: There
was a great deal of interest displayed
as it was practically a contest be-
| tween the merits of the Holstein and
| Jersey breeds III. G.. Beyer's Holstein
| COW, Panzie p. Dekol, was the win
ner in the milk test, giving COZ pounds
in a single day, The Jersey COW, Whit
ney 6, owned by w. C. Whitman IL
| Son of Turner, won in the butter fat
test with 19o26 pounds. This would
| indicate that for farmers selling milk
| for city use the Holsteip is a profit
| able breed to raise, while for selling
milk to the creamery for butter fat
| the Jerseys are the best. And in gen
| eral this is probably about right, but
there are exceptions, naturally, to
| both cases
| In the four COW contest the results
| were as follows. II. G.. Boyer, Jr.
| South Portland, total milk, 1915. av-
erage test, 3.S per cent; total butter
| fat, 6.2147 pounds. H. Nj. Moulton.
