INFLUElSrCE OF AGE ON VALUE OF COWS AND HOESES. 



years is not great. Here, again, calves are rated relatively cheaper 

 for the Northeastern States, but the regional difference in value as 

 given for old cows is* small. (See fig. 3.)

AYRSHIRES. 



According to the estimates averaged in Table IV, Ayrshire 

 calves and old cows are cheaper in the Northeastern States than in 

 the North Central States, while Ayrshire cows during their period of 

 highest production are a little higher in the East. The values placed 

 on old cows are exc(!ptionally liigli for the North Central States. 

 According to the estimates all classes of Ayrshires reach their maxi- 

 mum value at 6 years. (See fig. 4.)
