M. E. CONARD. 



The above examination of our herds of cows, some of which were covered by a largo 

 blanket, completely excluding from view every part of the animal except the escutch- 

 eon and back part of udder, subjected the commission to the severest test that could 

 be applied ; and agreeing, as their estimate of quality and quantity does, with our pre- 

 viously written reports, leads ua to think that in the hands of experts it would be a 

 valuable aid in judging the quality of dairy stock.
