At the New York State Fair in 1890, there were entered 

 in a butter test four herds of four cows each. Two were Hol- 

 stein herds, one was a Jersey, and one a Guernsey. The rules 

 recjuired the cost of food consumed to be taken into considera- 

 tion, and the prize of $100 was awarded for the greatest total 

 production of butterfat. Quite a complete report of this test 

 will doubtless prove of interest. The following is a copy of 

 the official report made by the societ_y.
