In reports of such trials as these there must of necessity be 
a sameness. I therefore make no apology for following the 
lines of previous reports, and giving two more tables — one 
showing the average of the milk yields of the various breeds 
in the breed classes, and the other the averages of those cows, 
under their breed headings, which were also entered in the 
special or champion class. I have omitted, as in former years, 
the particulars of the cross-bred cows, since their lack of 
pedigree makes them worthless.

Note.— The yields of milk and particulars of one Jersey and one Kerry are left out 
in these figures, as in both cases the herdsmen omitted at one milking to take their 
milk to Dr. Voelcker for analysis.
