II.— BUTTER  TESTS  (CLASS  193,  A & B). 
Forty-five  cows  competed  in  these  classes  at  Glloucester, 
29  of  them  being  in  the  heavy  and  16  in  the  light  weight 
class. 
The  trials  were  carried  out  under  similar  conditions  and 
with  the  same  scale  of  points  as  in  previous  years,  the  cattle 
being  stripped  on  the  evening  of  Wednesday,  June  23,  at 
5 p.m.,  the  milk  of  the  next  24  hours  being  used  for  the  test. 
The  table  on  pp.  226  and  227  gives  the  full  results  of 
the  trial.
