The Guernsey. 



of all the breeds of cattle impoited in 1898, none has given so much satis- 

 laction to lanni'is apparoiitlv a^ tin- (Jiieriisev, and judging by results obtained 



l)y crossing with the ordinarv cattle, the 

 confidence of the farmers is fully justified. 

 The desire to [)ur(liasc oi' lease bulls of this 

 breed has been very pressing now for some 

 vears. but owing to the limited number of 

 cows originally imported, the Government 

 were only able to su])])ly a verv small per- 

 centage of the denninds made for young 

 bulls. Matters, however, have now been 

 considerablv improved fiom the taimer's 

 point of view, tln^ late Minister for Agri- 

 culture, The Hon. S. W. Moore, and the 

 late Premier, The Hon. .1. H. Carruthers, 

 having arranged for an importation of 

 twenty (jiuernsev females for the purpose 

 of breeding bulls to meet requirements of 

 dairy farmeis. These animals, which aie 

 undoubtedly a great acquisition to the State, have now l)een landed, and 

 photographs are given herewith of some of tluMn.
