TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

FEBRUARY CERTIFICATE-OF-RECORD LIST. Dairy Division. The appended list gives particulars of cows which received certificates during the month of February. Interested readers will be aware that the annual review of the C.O.R. system is usually published in the March issue of the Journal. Each year, however, there is difficulty in getting a certain number of owners to advise dates of calving subsequent to test, and also to return necessary declarations for cows already qualified. This year the difficulty has become accentuated, and it has therefore • not been possible to compile the review for the year 1927 in time for the present issue. It is hoped, however, that all outstanding particulars will be to hand in sufficient time for the review to appear in the April Journal.
