Herd No. 20. J. H. 



We have for consideration in this herd fifteen grade Jersey 

 and grade Holstein cows at an average age of about six years. 

 The production as noted in Table 18, is only slightly above the 

 average, which shows that there is still considerable opportunity 

 for improvement. The present superiority of this herd over those 

 in the community is due primarily to the use of a dairy sire for 

 the past few years. The equipment of the farm is satisfactory
