make ; the Jersey owners, how much butter and cream to the quart of 
milk. To show that the Holstein is not a butter cow, the following 
deduced from a table published by the London Agriculture Journal, the 
results of tests made by Mr. Amersfoordt, of Badhoeve, in the Lake of 
Haarlem, Holland, a most competent authority, who tested the milk of 
46 cows in June, and 49 cows in November, with Prof. Tesser’s lacto- 
6Cope, which is claimed to give a close approximation to the actual fat 
in the milk. 
In the table made by Mr. Amersfoordt, the yield of each cow on the 
15th of June and the 24th of November is given with the per centage of 
fat. The average yield of 4G cows in June, is 13.87 litres, or 31 lbs. 
each, and the per centage of fat 5.217. Six of the largest milkers gave 
20.2 litres, or 46 lbs. per day, with 5.2 per cent, of fat.
