DAIEY CATTLE. 



The herd now comprises fifty-three head of pure-bred and grade French Cana- 

 dians. There are one aged and three yearling bulls, twenty-seven eowg, nine yearling 

 heifers, and thirteen calves, ranging from a few days to ten months of age. Out 

 of this number there are sixteen grade cows and heifers. These grades are kept to 

 show that, with a good pure-bred bull, a fairly uniform and a jpaying herd can be 

 bred. It is remarkable to note how the first point has already been reached, as there 

 are six grade heifers which appear to be pure-breds. Time alone, of course, will 

 tell whether they will be as profitable at the pail as their more aristocratic registered 

 sisters, but it is difficult to see why this woiild not be the case. 



The following table gives detailed results for cows which finished a lactation 

 period during the year: —
