I must again refer to the milk of one of the two South 
Devon cows as being of very poor quality, her average fat 
percentage only reaching 1*67 ; so that in this particular the 
average of the South Devon cows cannot be considered as 
representing the usual quality of milk of that breed. With 
that exception it is interesting to note that the cows of all the 
breeds gave milk that was well over the requirements of the 
Board of Agriculture. 
Taking the breeds in order of merit it will be seen that the 
Jerseys head the list, which may be accounted for in two ways: 
(1) the richness of milk and the long period of lactation peculiar 
to that breed give it a great advantage over others ; and (2)
