How THE FAKM PAYS. 



Of bis herd Mr. Ledyard says: ' ' I have another cow that will run over 

 fifteen pounds in a week, and my impression is that the Guernseys 

 will show as large tests as any other breed, and in time are quite 

 likely to show phenomenal results, although I do not give these the 

 importance usually accorded them." 



Of Countess of Fernwood he states, that her milk set until sour, and all 

 churned has shown three pounds, three ounces per day of unsalted 

 butter, a product very nearly equalling that of the highest yet at- 

 tained, and this without forcing, by which large products have been 

 made from noted cows, with fatal results in some cases. 



Of other Guernsey cows in this herd the following records are. 

 given: , 



TEST OF IMPORTED GUERNSEY COW, "LADY MAY," NO. 531. 



Weather very variable, mercury falling suddenly below zero; she 

 unfortunately took a little cold in her udder, which made it prudent 

 to cut down her feed (which was not heavy), just as she was doing 

 her full work. The butter was dry and not salted.
