inently forward the claim of the breed to a position in the front rank for 

 butter. Brienz gave in three days 245 Ibs. milk, which by the Babcock 

 test contained 9.32 Ibs. of fat. The first day her yield was 81.05 Ibs. f 

 milk, containing 3.25 Ibs. of fat; and her average was 81.5 Ibs. milk, con- 

 taining 3. 1 Ibs. fat per day, the largest official yield of pure butter fat 

 ' ever made by a cow of any breed, when under show excitement away 

 from home. 



As to the ease with which they acclimate in the fever belt, we have 

 as yet no information. The cattle are thrifty, mature early and promise 

 to find abundant favor in the Western states for the dairy.
