In milk b years, produced 2,001 lbs. butter from 4,239 f^jals. milk ; average per 

 year, 70b gals, milk, 7,1,- lbs. butter. (At lod. per lb. =2 14 per year). 



These are all three year old heifers on their first calf, and when the 

 results are compared with the requirements of the various American cattle 

 clubs for admis.sion to the advanced register it will be seen that the above 

 Shorthorn heifers figure very favorably. For instance a three vear old 

 Guernsey would have to give in the yeai- 335 lbs. of butter ; the Jersey 

 350 lbs. butter ; and in the case of the Holstein Friesian the requirements 

 are 10 lbs. butter for a seven days' test. Mr. Manifold does not like his 

 heifers to come in before three years old ; those that ha\e done so by 

 accident have never made as good beasts as the others.
