jersey sires futurity test. 47 



Animaes in the 1915 Test. 



While a considerable number of animals were entered for 

 the 191 5 Sires' Futurity Test, the great majority of these ani- 

 mals failed to appear at the time of the Test. There were vari- 

 ous reasons for this failure. In most of the cases the reason 

 was that since the time when the entry was made the heifer in 

 question had been sold.

 these were as follows :
