Something of a record was established by the milking herd owned by Mr L. Hodgkins, farmer, of Horsham Downs. From a farm of. 50 acres his 40 cows returned 19231 b of milk daily, with a 4.5 test. These figures speak for themselves, but the returns are enhanced when it is explained that the herd comprised 20 heifers, 16 second calvers, and only 4 mature cows.
