 ness of milk, are probably something ahead in easy keeping 

 qualities and are better adapted for crossing where improve- 

 ment in the character of the milk and butter product are both 

 sought. 



(2) The Holsteins lead as yet in the extent to which they 

 prevail, are fully 200 pounds ahead in size, give more milk and 

 are relatively better adapted for meat-making, either in the 

 pure or graded form. 



(3) In other essential characteristics, as early maturity, 

 grazing and breeding qualities they are about equal.
