GuENON ON Milch Cows. 



Second Class. Left Flanders. 



The cows of this class 

 are very similar to those of 

 the first class, though their 

 yield is rather less. The 

 vertical escutcheon is en- 

 tirely to the left of the vul- 

 va, and the thigh escutch- 

 eon on the right is broader 

 than that on the left. By 

 comparison with the first 

 class, these will be seen to 

 be very similar, but in each 

 order smaller ; therefore, it 

 will not be necessary to de- 

 ^iij^ scribe them separately, but 

 simply to state the yield. 

 Cows of the first order of 

 the second class will yield 

 eighteen quarts, and milk 

 eight months 



The second order of the second class have 



the lip-shaped tuft to the left of the vulva, 



and have one oval on the left of the udder. 



Cows of this order give sixteen quarts, and 



milk seven months. 



The third or- 

 der has the 

 same shaped 

 escutcheon, 

 but more con- 

 tracted, and 

 the lip-shaped 

 tuft is larger 

 and whiter. 



Cows of this order give fourteen quarts, and 

 milk six months. 



The fourth 



order has two 



invasions of 



the thigh es- 

 cutcheon by the down-growing hair, a serai- 

 oval one on the right, and a triangular one on 

 the left. These always indicate a reduced 

 quantity of milk. 



Cows of the fourth order give ten quarts, 

 and milk five months
