Cow No. 25, Herd No. 14. 



This cow is the second highest producer in the herd. In dairy form she is an ideal to have in mind in breed- 

 ing and selecting the herd. Note the good udder, prominent milk veins and capacity for handling feed. 

 Her average annual profit for three years was S58.74. 



The average for the cows in this herd for three years was 5,106 

 pounds of milk, 272.8 pounds butter-fat, (making 318.7 pounds of esti- 

 mated butter) with an average annual profit per cow of $40.67. The 

 cow shown above yielded an average of 5,642 pounds milk, 337.6 pounds 

 of butter-fat, 393.8 pounds of estimated butter, with an average annual 

 profit of $58.74. 



There are very few cows of this character in the State, so it impossi- 

 ble for every one, or even a large proportion of JSTorth Carolina farmers 

 and dairymen, to dispose of the animals they are now milking and fill 

 their places with the more desirable type. There is a practical method, 

 however, of replacing the common cows with good individuals; it can 

 be done by selection and breeding.
