Milk and Butter Tests at the Bristol Show , 1913. 275 
With the exception of the Shorthorns, which did not quite 
come up to expectations, the figures show that the cows 
competing were quite up to the average of cattle tested at the 
Society’s Shows. 
The next table gives these averages : —

In the report on these trials in 1911, the butter ratio figures 
under their respective breeds at each of the Society’s Shows, 
commencing with Derby in 1906, were given, and the average 
number of cattle and butter ratios at the six Shows were 
shown in the last column. Table Y. gives these last figures and 
the corresponding figures at Bristol : —
