THE GUERNSEY BREED 



Until the invention of the Babcock test, Mr. Fairbank 

 made frequent churn tests of his cows, so that he kept well 

 informed of their butter production as well. Commencing in 

 1892, fat tests were made of the milk each month and the 

 percentages used in computing the approximate totals for the 

 yearly fat records. I feel sure that the records of this herd 

 will be found of interest:
