 Eight other young cows have recorded in the last two years, all alike 

 full of promise for this latest trial of careful breeding by registered 

 sires, from selected Norfolk Red Polled unregistered cows. 



The Suffolk Groups, which began to register in 1883, include 

 some lines of breeding that characterized families registered in the 

 previous three issues of 'the Herd Book. 4217 Miss Barney 1 Suff.,

2 Suff. takes the name of E. Boon, a Brandeston farmer, who for 

 over twenty years bred true to the Red Polled type. There are 53 

 records. 



Mrs. J. F. Chevallier, who carred on the enquiring and careful 

 work which the Mrs. Chevallier, of the closing years of the 18th cen- 

 tury, carried through, as reported by Arthur Young, added to the 

 Aspall Hall herd, in 1890, two cows from the Boon herd. The prog- 

 eny are yet in the Aspall herd. The older of the two, 2252 Hester, 

 in her 14th year in the herd, gave birth to her 18th c. Her record 

 as an 8-yr.-old was 7,078 Ib. (292); her 9th to llth c. av., 7496.83 

 Ib. (937), with other 6-yr. av., 6652.66 Ib., the last year of which was
