123 



1905, a third of 25 head in March, 1906, and a fourth of 30 

 head in June, 1906. 



In July, 1906, Westmoreland Davis, of Leesburg, Va., im- 

 ported 13 choice animals, and the same year E. W. Oglebay, 

 of Wheeling, W. Va., imported 10 head, mostly English-bred, 

 and a second lot of 50 in July, 1906. 



E. C. Converse, Greenwich, Conn., being pleased with 

 the first animals that he purchased at one of Mr. Price's sales, 

 imported six cows in March, 1906. On October 2, 1905, A. A. 



IB 



Charmantc of the Gron 14442 A. R. 74 yearly record, 11,874.08 pounds milk, 

 676.46 pounds fat. 



Housman, Babylon, L. I., imported 27 females, 16 more in 

 August, 1906, and 19 head in a third lot in November of the 

 same year. 



Mention has been made of the first outbreak of tuber- 

 culosis on the island. In one of Mr. Price's later importa- 

 tions two cows had reacted, both coming from the infected 

 herd on the island. Without doubt, the disease was also im- 

 ported in the Housman importation, as many of them reacted 

 almost as soon as they reached this country, and a large part 

 of the importation was lost to the breed. Included in this 

 importation was the bull St. Amant 11600, A. R.
