In the following pages those breeds of cattle will be dis- 

 cussed which have any .particular claim on the subject of dairy- 

 ing in America and have been arranged in the order of official 

 records as to quantity of butter fat produced in a year, regardless 

 of the cost of its production. On January 1st, 1917, the order 

 was : Holstein-Friesian, Guernsey, Jersey, Ayrshire, Eed Polls, 

 Brown S-wiss, Shorthorn, Dutch Belted and French-Canadian. 



The most pronounced beef-type cattle, such as Plereford, 

 Angus, and Galloway, are so seldom used for dairy purposes and 

 are so pronouncedly good in meat food production, and several 

 other breeds are represented in this country by so few animals 

 that no detailed study of them will be made in this volume.

 ciations naturally change secretaries as seldom as possible. For
