FARM AND DAIRY.
At the Jersey breeders' Held day. at Kaponga, on Thursday, Mr. H. E. B. .Watson made some very interesting remarks on the escutcheon theory. He pointed out that the whole of the udder was really an escutcheon in that it nad back-running hair. Any man wjto would say that he could tell how much milk a cow would give by looking at the escutcheon was romancing—the only test of that was the milk pail and Babcock tester. He did, however, value the escutcheon in judging young beasts, and they would find in examining a calf that if the back escutcheon ana" particularly the swirl wore well rip, the developed udder would generally be from \\ to 2 inches above that. likewise in regard to the fore-udder. There, too, the escutcheon mark and swirl would give a very fair indication of where the udder would reach when developed later on.
