FEEDING AND MILKING TESTS—PROFIT ON COWS. 
At the Pan-American Exposition there is a model dairy, and some highly 
interesting experiments are now going on with various breeds of «dairy cattle. 
On 27th August of this year a report for the week is given in Hoard’s Dairy- 
man. At the time this report was issued, the cows had been seventeen weeks 
at the model dairy, and are to remain there to the end of the milking season. 
By comparison of the profit on each breed, it will be noticed that the 
Jerseys, Guernseys, and Ayrshires stand at the head of the list, Guernseys 
yielding a profit during the seventeen weeks (less one day) of 163:98 dollars ; 
Jerseys, 157°07 dollars; and Ayrshires, 154°46 dollars: or Guernseys, 
£32 16s. 7d., equal to £6 11s. 3d. per cow; Jerseys, £31 8s. 7d., or £6 5s. 84d. 
per cow; and Ayrshires, £30 18s. 7d., being £6 3s. 83d. per cow. ‘This is the 
clear profit after paying expenses. The following is the table as given in the
