II.— BUTTER  TESTS  (CLASS  199,  A & B). 
The  number  of  cows  competing  in  these  classes  at  Liverpool 
exceeded  that  at  all  previous  Shows  of  the  Royal  Agricultural 
Society,  49  animals  being  present  ; 36  of  which  were  in  the 
heavy  and  13  in  the  light  weight  class. 
The  trials  were  carried  out  under  similar  conditions  and 
the  same  scale  of  points  as  in  former  years,  the  cattle  being 
stripped  on  Wednesday,  June  22,  at  5 p.m.,  the  milk  of  the 
next  twenty-four  hours  being  taken  for  the  test. 
The  Table  on  pp.  218  and  219  gives  the  full  result  of  the  trials, 
which  were  chiefly  remarkable  for  the  fine  performance  of 
Mr.  Evens’  Lincolnshire  Red  Shorthorn,  “ Burton  Fuchsia 
3rd,”  with  a yield  of  77  lb.  12  oz.  of  milk,  from  which  3 lb. 
12J  oz.  of  butter  were  obtained. 
It  is  seldom  that  an  animal  gives  so  large  a quantity  of 
milk  showing  45  per  cent,  of  fat. 
Table  IY.  gives  the  number  of  cattle  competing  at  the  Shows 
of  the  Royal  Agricultural  Society  for  the  past  five  years  under 
their  respective  breeds.
