276 Milk and Butter Tests at the Norwich Show, 1911 



The largej- number of entries and the hot weather may 

 partly account for these reductions, but in my opinion the 

 feeding of the cattle in many cases was the cause ; the difficulty 

 of churning and the number of buttermilks which required to 

 be churned again pointing to this conclusion. 



Table V. gives the number of cattle which have competed 

 at the Shows of the Society during the past six years in these 

 classes.

Table VI. gives the averages of the cattle tested, from which 

 it will be seen that in all cases, where more than one animal 

 was competing, the amount of milk taken to make one pound of 

 butter is considerably larger than usual.
