272 Milk and Butter Tests at the Norwich Show, 1911, 



Table III. — Averages of all the Cattle entered in the Milk- 

 yield Classes. 



1 The averages have been given, but it will be seen that on the average figures no 

 prizes could have been awarded. 



Thirteen animals were disqualified, the average percentage 

 of fat in the two milkings not coming up to the standard of 

 3 per cent. The number is made up as follows : — 



1 Shorthorn out of 28 sampled 



2 Lincolnshire Red Shorthorns „ 8 ,, 

 4 Red Polls „ 19 „ 



1 Holstein ,, 1 ,, 



2 Kerries „ 8 „ 

 2 Dexters ,, 3 „ 

 1 Crossbred „ 5 „

 II.— BUTTER TESTS (CLASS 203, A & B). 



The number of cattle entered for these trials — 74 — consti- 

 tutes a record for the Royal Agricultural Society's Show. Of 

 this number 63 animals were milked out, but 2 were subse- 

 quently disqualified, leaving 61 to go through the test. 



The trials were carried out under similar conditions and 

 the same scale of points as in previous years, the heavy weight 

 class consisting of 46 cows of various breeds, the light weight 

 class numbering 15, all of which were Jerseys. 



The Tables on pp. 273-5 give the full result of the 

 trials, with the prizes, commended cards and certificates of 

 merit awarded. 



The results, on the whole, were not as good as in previous 

 years. This will be seen by comparing the average number of 

 points gained at this and at the i)reviou8 Shows of the Society 

 (Table VII.) and the butter ratio figures (Table VIII.).
