The above results are very striking. The combined 

 results at Pusa and at the various military dairies, in 

 which records of hundreds of animals and over 10 years' 

 experience are available, show that a cross of the well bred 

 Ayrshire bull with an Indian cow will double the average 

 milk yield of the Indian breed. The cross cow, too, comes 

 in calf regularly and the calf can be weaned without diffi- 

 'Culty. 



The following table shows the yields of two cross cows, 

 Jill, belonging to the Military Dairy, Bangalore, and 

 Alibi at Pusa (Plate III).
