Death Of n Famous Cow.

The Jersey COW Bomba, No. I0,330,
died the other day of milk fever, ut the
farm of her breeder and owner, A. B.
Darling, near Ramsey's, n. j. This
was the first COW that openly challeng
ed public skepticism regarding her
alleged great butter yield, and her
trial of seven days in the hands of IA
disbelieving committee in the fall of
1885 did, perhaps, more than any other
one thing to establish public confidence
in the claims made on behalf of Jersey
cattle. The result of the test was 81
pounds III ounces of unsalted butter
in seven days. Bomba had just reach
ed the age at which her famous grand
dam, Eurotas, No. 2454, came to the
zenith of her capacity, and it was in
contemplation to test her the coming 2
year, in expectation of realizing her
owners prediction, that a COW will yet
be found capable of yielding 900
pounds of butter, followed by a calf,
all within year. In the combination
sale in May last Bomba's daughter, an
.ight-months heifer, brought 5000 by
auction. Her second calf, a bull, now
heads Colonel II. 5. RusselPs herd,
near Boston, Mass, and sold privately
for "a similar sum. The owner of Bomba
received two cash offers of $4,000
each for her shortly after her notable
test, but preferred to retain her, in
hopes of demonstrating the correctness
of his estimate of the possible capacity
of a COW for butter giving.
