At the beginning of the year's work, this herd was composed of five 

 grade Jerseys and seven pure breds but before the year's work was 

 completed four of the grade cows were sold. The herd was headed by 

 an excellent dairy sire whose dam's record for one year was a little 

 less than 700 pounds of butter. The owner of this herd has had a def- 

 inite abject in view for some years — that of grading up the herd and 

 increasing the milk flow and butter-fat production. Cow number 2 

 in this herd has the distinction of ranking as one of the highest pro- 

 ducers in her section. 



During the months of April and May the cows were allowed to run 

 on seven acres of rye and crimson clover; during July, August and 

 September they were pastured on fifteen acres of native grasses.
