A glance at the accompanying illustrations of some noted dairy cows and of 
the Jersey bull, Lord Harry, amongst the dairy herd at the QueenslaD 
Agricultural College, will afford evidence that good work has been and is ev! 
being done in the building up of a herd of first-class stock. We are able 
give pedigrees and milking performances of the cows for the past five and 8% 
months, together with Lord Harry’s pedigree. The milking record of the Jerse), 
cow, Stumpy, is especially good, as also are also the milk test and yield of butte?
