lu.thlrty days, beginning with Feb
uary 70, last, Pauline yielded 2,

Any one who has seen the milk pal

that tins yield il sip ply enormous.
The Holstein Frie-ian stock are
very remarkable mixer, ana their
average yield Is ifom five To seven
gallons 4 day, but PAUL., has
doubled The Yield Of the good regis
tered Holsttin- FrItsian cow and
has surpassed by one third the re-
cord OF most OF the superior ami
mails.
THIRTY TWO POUNDS A WEEK.
The butter product for twenty
eight days, for four weeks, was
l29,9O1 pounds, or an average of
thirty-two and one-half pounds a
week. This was midwinter rec
ord, hut probably the season made
no difference in the yield, for Pau
line had the best cow feed that
money could buy, and every pos
sible care.
But the result is none the less as
tonlshirg. At this rate the COW
would produce in the fifty-two
weeks Of the year l,703 pounds of
butter, or from 300 to 400 pounds
more than she weighs. " hen she
is in milking condition her weight
ls between 1900 and l 400 lbs.
The best previous butter record
was made over year ago by a COW
in Oneida county that produced
thirty and five eights pounds in
seven days.
Pauline has a prodigious capac
ty for food but she is cxcusable
when she turns so much Of it into
milk. During the last two weeks
II the test she consumed daily from
or,y to forty-fve pouuds of corn,
'ilage and twenty FIVE pounds of
eight pounds of clover hi ay
md three pounds Of peas and oats /,
nay, besides thirty-one pounds of !
wheat bIsn, cream gluten, hominyi
neal and sjax flakes.
She would be expensive to board q
( she did not do SO much for her 4
Ieep. But after all she was pro-
'ucing milk and butter at rela- e
lively low cost. The cost OF pro-
lucing milk was only 4 cents per !,
uarl and Of butter 1876 cents per :
'ound. These figures, however, V
O not include the cost of labor. 7

She is the mother of an interest g
