It is hoped that representatives may be secured of several other 
of our prominent dairy breeds, notably the Short Horns, Devons 
and Brown Swiss, in order that this test may be as full and com-

these others would be but trifling. 
While therefore there will be every opportunity during the 
progress of these investigations to carry forward all the work 
looking to the solution of the many questions pertaining to feed- 
ing, to the production and quality of milk for the several purposes 
_of butter and cheese making, as heretofore, there will be the 
increased value which such investigations will have, when applied 
_ to the several breeds of dairy cattle now prominently before the 
Ast country. 
Of course it is not proposed that such important conclusions as 
it is hoped to draw from these investigations will be limited to the 
few animals of each breed which for convenience it is found best 
to begin with, for it is proposed to increase the herd gradually and
