THE GUERNSEY BREED 



153 



Six of the number were newly imported and only reached the farm 

 on the last day of 1894, and seven of the 15 were exhibited at from 

 one to four fairs during the year. These facts are mentioned because 

 the acclimation process (which is usually considered to take a year) 

 and the excitement incident to exhibiting tend materially to reduce 

 the year's record. Of the younger division, five were newly im- 

 ported and five went the round of fairs. 



"J. L. Hope, Superintendent." 



George C. Hill & Son reported the following record for 

 12 cows for the year 1893 : 



"The following are the Guernsey cows in our herd that have 

 completed' yearly records since we tested every month or oftener. 

 Number 12 did not have a calf till four years old, and she became so 

 fat it ruined her and she has gone for beef.
