Records.

We believe that all interested in
fine stock should examine the ad-
vertisement now appearing IN our
columns, of the famous Holstein-
Friesian breeders and importers,
Smiths, Powell & Lamb. proprie-
tors of the Lakeside Stock Farm,
Syracuse, New York. The average
milk and butter records of this herd
there given, are without parallel
in the world for so large a number
of animals, and fully establish the
claim Of these gentlemen, that they
have not only the largest, but the
deepest milking herd of Holstein-
Friesians in this country. They
give some yearly records recently
completed by some of their most
noted animals, that show the won.
derful capabilities of this grand
breed of dairy cattle when carefully
and intelligently bred and properly
handled.
Aaggie Rosa (niece Of Aaggie.
the first COW to give over 1900
pounds of milk in Year, has just
completed yearly record of 20,225
pounds, 3 ounces of milk. She is
the dam of Sir Henry End of Aaggie,
a bull of unequaled breeding as a
sire of milk stock. He stands at
head of their Cazenoyia herd and
has been bred to some of the
choicest of their yearling- heifers
this season.
Lady Fay closed years record,
Aug. II of 20, 412 pounds II ounces.
Besides these two remarkable
records the following large yearly
records have been closed by cows in
this herd in 1885:
Netherland Belle, 1856 pounds
8 ounces, Aaggie Cornelia 3rd,
II, $50 pounds, Netherland Dow
ager, II, $50 lbs. II ounces, Aaggie
Sarah, 16,9O1 pounds Is ounces,
Nethcrland Princess, 1876 pounds
IL ounces, Aaggie Hannah. 1928
lbs 6 ounzes, Valley Beauty, 5000
pounds s ounces, Cameo, Is, 142 lbs
IA ounces.
1t can readily be seen from these
figures, three cows in this herd av-
eraged over 10000 pounds of milk
in a year, and the ten above men
toned averaged 1854 pounds 3
ounces.
Certainly this is a remarkable
showing in one year from one herd.
All these records are by actual
weight of each milking. There is
no estimating or guess-work about
it.
No less famous is this herd for
its butter records, as will be seen
by reference to their advertise
ment.
The average records of their en-
tire herd, as given by these gentle
men, more truly indicate its rare
merit than any individual records
that might be made, no matter how
large.
The trade of this firm in Holstein-
Friesian cattle is not limited to this
country (nearly every State and
Territory of which contains fine
representatives of this herd) They
have recently received two orders
from Honolulu, Hawaiin Islands.
There has recently arisen great
demand for these cattle on the Pa
cific coast, and in the Northwest
ern Territories. Nessrs. Smiths.
Powell & Lamb have sold during
the past Spring, five carloads in
California, among them one car
load to Hon. Leland Stanford, u. S.
Senator, and three carloads in
Southern California; also two car
loads in Utah. They were all ele-
CANT representatives of the breed,
have acclimated readily, and some
of them are milking remarkably.
Reports from various purchasers
speak of 2-year-old heifers giving
over 80 pounds Of milk in a day,
and one as high as 81 pounds II
ounces in a,day, and this before
hardly recovering from the long
Journey with an entire change of
climate.
These facts that should have the
attention of every progressive
farmer and rancher in this State. If
