some are making annual records of 4, 4.50, and even as 
high as 5 per cent fat. 
The ideal type of this breed, which has become constant 
in North Holland and Friesland, js designated as “ milk 
and beef form.” This 
form involves great 
breadth and length 
of rump; _— superior 
width of hips, with 
loin slightly rounded ; 
well-sprung ribs; 
rounded body, with 
the abdomen well held 
up; a straight chine; 
shoulders slightly 
lower than hips and 
rounded at tops, from 
whence the neck starts out level, or nearly so, and is 
carried symmetrically to a finely formed throat and rather 
long head, bearing a 
broad muzzle. It also 
involves comparative 
fineness of limbs, and 
quarters broad at sides 
and rear without puffi- 
ness ; a capacious udder 
of considerable depth, 
carried well forward in 
front and well up in 
rear, and a large development of mammary veins. An 
animal of this form will appear slightly wedge-shaped, 
viewed both from front and side (Figs. 47,48. Plate XI). 
This ideal type, however, varies with respect to locality
