194 ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



are the records of ten cows which I had the pleasure of visiting 

 recently. There were other cows in this herd which are doing 

 equally as well, but I was interested in taking the records of these 

 ten for the reason that they all belong to one particular family, 

 thus exhibiting what blood and breeding will do. This herd re- 

 ceives kind treatment, good grass pasture when in season, alfalfa 

 and clover hay and corn ensilage, supplemented with grain rations 

 adapted to the needs of each individual cow. Let us take these 

 records home with us and compare them with what our cows are 

 doing, and thus note if there is any difference in dairy cows. The 

 records are as follows :
