 at its commencement, and shall be present thereafter at each milking 

 until the record is completed; he shall determine the weight of each 

 milking, and its average per cent of fat separately, and make a de- 

 tailed report of same, with a statement of the approximate amount 

 and kind of food given the animals, and as to the manner of stabling

 tion shall be but one day's duration, and the butterfat determined 

 from a composite sample representing all the milkings of the day. 



"All expenses, including time and traveling expenses, for investi- 

 gation of the records, scaling the animals, or overseeing the seven- 

 day tests, shall be paid by the owners of the cows so inspected. All 

 similar expenses in connection with the yearly records shall be paid' 

 by the American Guernsey Cattle Club. The pay of the inspectors 

 in all instances shall be a matter of agreement between the authori- 

 ties of the experiment stations, which they represent, and the owners 

 of the cows in the seven-day class, or the secretary of the club in 

 the year's class." Digitized by Microsoft®
