IV PREFACE. 



"Daisy of Deerfoot" (3182), American Herd Register. This 

 famil}^ has alwaj'S been remarkable for its combined quality and 

 quantity of milk. Last September, two months after calving, 

 " Daisy of Deerfoot " gave twenty-two per cent, of cream in a test- 

 tube twenty-four hours after setting. Her dam, "Fanny" (675), 

 was imported in 1854, and her owner, Mr. Joseph Burnett, in a 

 careful debtor and creditor account, was able to credit her with up- 

 wards of $1,500. 



Both " Georgie " and "Daisy of Deerfoot" were exhibited at 

 the Fair of the New York State Agricultural Society at Albany in 

 1873, and received the first prizes in their respective classes, and 

 that against the strongest competition.
