 cow of outstanding- beef t.yjje with a ](.)t of cJiar- 

 ac^ter, quality and size. Slie is sired by a grand-

 Marr "Missie" bull imp. (Jolden Banner. Sul- 

 tan's Ros(' inade the registry of merit for milk 

 production with a record of 5639.8 pounds of 

 milk as a two-year-old. 



An interesting feature relating to these milk 

 rcH'ords is the fact that none of these cows except 

 Gwendoline 79th and Sultan's Rose were milked 

 until they were mature cows, Cream Toast for 

 instance being sevcni years of age before entering 

 tlie experiment. Neither luive tliese cdws lieen 

 forced for milk pi'oduction. The_7 have been 

 maintained simply as beef rathei' than dairy 

 cows. 



All heifers will be developed and whenever a 

 heifer develops into a better beef type cow, pro- 

 duces a better beef type calf and at the same time 

 produces more milk than a cow in the experi- 

 ment then such heifers will be substituted for 

 the less desiralile cows in the expei'iment.
