admired amongst others of Mr. Lloyd's team at the last Koyal Shtw. 

 Possessing, as she does, show quality, supported by a eapability to give 

 such a return, she is a particularly valuable animal, and will no doubt 

 be heard of still further in the future. On her sire's side " Mercede's 

 Noble Queen " is a half-sister of " Pretty Noble," which sired so many 

 good heifers for Mr. Woodmason. 



The next cow in the order of merit — "Peeress III." — is also one 

 which a]ipp.in-s for tlie first time under our test. This cow was purchased

Reserve Champion Cow, Season 1916-17. 



in South Australia, when in milk, by Mr. A. W. Jones, of St. Albans, 

 and her record — 488.5 lbs. of butter fat — is all the more meritorious 

 as she had to undergo the discomfort of travelling and settling in her 

 new home. She is of robust conformation, and will no doubt give a 

 good account of herself in future years. Whilst she occupies this posi- 

 tion on the list, she is not eligible to take the prize as reserve champion, 

 for unfortunately she was not in calf early enough to comply with 

 the regulations; the prize therefore goes to the same owner's cow
