butter. and in addition increased the
family exchequer $3.50 from the sale
of butter alone. besides raising five $50
calves. The Gordon Journal doesn't
think this record equals that made by a
COW owned by j. w. Joice Of that town
the past II months. Mr.. Joice has only

from three to FIVE pounds Of butter each
week and has fattened II pigs on the
buttermilk. A COW story to beat the
Gordon man will be a stem-winder.
