During the past year this division lias made the following 

 milk, butter fat and butter tests for the several cattle asso- 

 ciations, in accordance with their prescribed rules : — 



Five cows were tested for the Holstein-Friesian Associa- 

 tion, to ascertain the amount of milk and butter fat produced 

 during seven consecutive days. 



Nine cows are now being tested for the American Guernsey 

 Cattle Club. The amount of milk and butter fat produced 

 in one day of each month is ascertained, and upon this is 

 based the monthly yield. 



Two cows are now undergoing a yearly milk and butter 

 fat test for the American Jersey Cattle Club. The amount 

 of milk and fat produced during two consecutive days of 

 each month is ascertained, and upon this product is based 

 the monthly yield. 



The tests are all made at the farms of the several owners, 

 by or under the supervision of a representative of this 

 station. 



The results of the following confirmed tests, made at the 

 request of the American Jersey Cattle Club, for Mr. C. T.
