Tom Barron, of Brantford, Ont., never would have known that- he had a cow capable of producing nearly 1,600 lbs. of butter in a year, if he had not been testing Bella Pontiac. As a result of a year's testing, this cow advanced in value from between $200 to $300, to a value of anywhere be- tween $5,000 and $10,000. Pretty good pay for only one year's work on one cowl and The actual time of weighing testing, probably did not take Mr. Barron over two minutes a day for weighing the milk three or four times a day; while the testing was done by Government -employed men in the i is accurate enough =�� a•' r Record of Performance, very the actualI purposes, say on the 1st, 10th, of Dost of which was very little prac-i and 'nth.
