30 DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE 



daily yield of 1451 Davy 27th HI from August 20th, 1892, to April 

 30th, 1893. A brief analysis of the record may be of value for com- 

 parison not only with the Red Polled averages set forth in these 

 pages, but also with records of the yield of other breeds, dairy as 

 well as dual-purpose. On the 5th day of the record the yield was 

 42 pints; the 8th to 19th, 48 save two days, 44; to 26th, 52 to 56; 

 the next 22 days, 48 to 40; 25 days of October, 38 to 36; November, 

 41 and 40; December, 5 days, 40; 26 days and on to January 24th, 

 39; then to March 28th, 38 to 33, 4 days, 26; and on to April 30th, 

 24 to 22. At the last named date the total was 9,349 pints (11,218.8 

 Ib.) in 251 days, and she was then yielding 154 pints (192 1 / 2 Ib.) for 

 the week. As Davy 27th gave birth to 2741 Davy 54th on August 

 5th, 1893, it calls for little guesswork to come to the conclusion that 

 she would have increased her total to something like 10,000 pints 

 (12,250 Ib). No other record is available from Bale, so there are 

 wanting details to estimate how much of this result was due to en- 

 vironment. All the HI cows bred there are registered as Davy with 

 an appended number.
