DISCUSSION. f 



The Chairman : — If you have any questions now is the time 

 to ask them as Mr. Chase has had experience along this line. 



Mr. Van Pelt: — Did you find the cows with most good 

 blood in them tested the highest? 



Mr. Chase: — Yes, ordinarily. This one herd of Holsteins 

 tested the highest but I do not think that was due to blood so 

 much as because they were nearly dry. The first test we made 

 of that herd averaged 5.88 and that is pretty good for a Holstein. 

 I am not prepared to say which held the poorest score throughout 

 but I believe the Red Poll tested the best.
