improved 50 much that the milk Of one
COW now will make as much butter as
did the milk OF three or four Of the old
native animals.

COWS, there would appear once IL a
while in il a prodigy. such was the
famous "Oakes cow II Massachusetts,

by giving forty-four pounas Of milk a
day, ont Of which was made 46T pounds
of butter ia one season. This ostenta-
tious COW did this when he- friends ana
neighbOrs were proud they produced
sixty pounds of butter a year. It made
her famous. and she had her picture
painted in oil, but none OF her de-
scendants took after her, and she was
regarded as a freak.
Nowadays the Cakes cow would be
regarded rs a good cOw-nothing more.
