198 Butter and Milk Tests at the Derby Show , 1906. 
on the average of the two milkings, cannot be considered 
unreasonable. The numbers of the cattle disqualified are as 
follows : — 
4 Shorthorns out of an entry of 8 
1 Lincolnshire Red Short-horn ,, 3 
1 Red Polled „ 6 
1 Guernsey ,, 8 
1 Dexter ,, 8 
The question of feeding cattle for these competitions is, in 
my opinion, intimately connected with their disqualification ; 
but that is a subject too complicated to be gone into in this 
report.
