 offspring of common-grade cows, many of them Holsteins and 

 Jerseys, but all sired by registered Galloway bulls. These calves 

 won first and third prizes in their class, and one load won cham- 

 pionship in class over other breeds by ages and grand champion-

The Galloway cow ia milk production is little known so far as 

 records are concerned. The claim is generally made that the 

 cows give a good yield of rich milk, yet one finds very little infor- 

 mation regarding the Galloway as a milker when consulting the 

 literature of the breed or comparative tests of cows of different 

 breeds. The fact is, Galloway advocates emphasize the value of 

 the breed in beef production and scarcely comment on the milk- 

 producing factor. The cow Rosy 4th is reported to have pro- 

 duced 42|- pounds of milk in a day, testing 7.25 per cent fat.
