Cows of the fourth order give seven quarts, 

 and milk five months.

Cows which bear one or the other of these two es- 

 cutcheons, are generally good milkers, and preserve 

 their milk as well as cows of the first order of each 

 class. These are the new escutcheons alluded to in 

 Guenon's introduction, showing the effect of crossing.
