GuENON ON Milch Cows. 



The fourth order have an escutcheon 

 more broken in appearance, the two side 

 lines of the selvage terminate halfway to the 

 vulva, and end off in lines of a feathery ap- 

 pearance, the hair is coarser and more furry, 



Cows of the fourth order trive ten quarts, 

 and milk 



five montlis. 

 Bastards 

 of the sixth 

 class have 

 the escutch- 

 eon similar 

 to the first 

 class,butthe 



selvage lines terminate on each side of the 



vulva in tufts of coarse and bristly hair; 



the larger and coarser they are, the sooner 



the milk will fail. 



The Seventh Class. Demijohn. 



The first order of tliis 

 class has the skin of the 

 escutcheon of yellowish 

 color. The udder is fine, 

 and covered with a silky 

 down to the inside of the 

 thighs; and the dandruff 

 is soft and oily to the touch. 

 The shape is similar to the 

 selvage somewhat, only 

 the vertical mirror rises 

 broader and straighter, 

 and ends half way up to 

 the vulva, cut square off. 

 The broader and higher 

 this part is, the better the 

 escutcheon. The escutch- 

 eon is not so high up on 

 the thighs as the previous 



classes. There are two ovals on the udder, 

 and two small tufts of fine hair alongside the 

 vulva. 



Cows of the first order give seventeen quarts, 

 and milk eight months. 



The second order have the escutcheon lower 

 down and, of course, smaller in every way. 

 There are two tufts alongside the vulva, the 

 left one as large as in the first order, (two 

 and a half inches,) the right one only half as 

 long. There is one oval on the left of the 

 udder. 



Cows of the second order give fifteen quarts, 

 and milk seven months.
