A BUTTER FAT RECORD.
High Notch Reached hy the Guernsey
Cow Churnuute.

High Notch Reached by the Guernsey
Cow Churmante.
A new worlds butter fat record for
year has recently been made, 676.4
pounds. This wonderful performance
has been accomplished by the Guernsey
COW Charmante Of the Gron 144442), i'm
ported and owned by H. Nick. Twom-
bly,. Morris county, n. J.
During the year this COW gave to-
tai of 11,S7+.76 pounds of milk, with
an average of 81 per cent of butter fat.
This is equivalent to 1892 pounds of
butter, or an average Of 2.16 pounds of
butter day. The test started Oct. II,
pervision Of the New Jersey agricultur-
al experiment station. This record is
the best ever made by a cow of any
breed in the world where public super
vision has been given.
Just how wonderful it is is possibly
best shown by a comparison with other
official records of Guernsey COWS. as
published by the American Guernsey
Cattle club In list of seventy-three
records only one cow has given more
milk in the course of year. This an
imal was Glenwood Girl VI. (9113). who
however, only produced 572.30 pounds
Of butter fat, or 104 pounds less than
Charmante Of the Gron.
Three COWS have produced milk with
better average butter fat test. In
each case their years milk record was
small. Mary Marshall (56O4 gave S,212.-
81 pounds of milk, testing $50 per cent
butter fat and making 1854 pounds;
Eulalie of Elm Place Q439S) produced
7,0263O pounds of milk, testing 6.21
per cent butter fat, equaling 1852
pounds, and Zelma gave 60GS.2O pounds
of milk, testing SIT per cent butter fat,
totaling 34O.34 pounds. This last rec
ord is barely half that Of Charmante
of the Gron.
The two next Eest records to the new
one are those of Portia Of Maplehurst,
II ,622.G .G5 pounds of milk, testing 5.29
per cent and making 6O2.37 pounds Of
butter fat, and Pritoria's 11,52S.S4
pounds of milk, testing 5.3 per cent
and yielding 595.35 pounds of butter
fat.
| A glance at the monthly records
shows that Charmante's production was
the highest during January, when she
gave 1121.O6 pounds of milk, testing G.1
per cent and producing 69.39 pounds Of
butter fat. The lowest production was in
September, when the milk yield was
71O.25 pounds, testing 6 per cent and
making 1862 pounds butter fat.
Charmante was imported in 1901
from the herd of Mr.. E. A. Hambro Of
Kent, England. She was dropped July
Z, 1896, and is well marked COW of
good dairy conformation and has an
excellent udder. She dropped bull
calf Oct. 6, 1902, and he is developing
into an animal of, much promise

rather notifying to the breeders of
Herefords, Shorthorns, Polled Angus
and other thoroughbred stock, supposed
to be the very pink of the cattle when
it comes to making beef fat and fine.
But these freaks will occur in the best
regulated bovine family. The writer
of this we'll remembers the rueful face
of his father, a famous breeder of
Shortf orns, when he found that "Old
Scrub,' a measly pickup from the
common cattle of the neighborhOod,
gave more milk than the best cows in
his model and costly herd.
Owatonna Chronicle: The present
Board of Pardons seems disposed, to
act as trial court, and at that to take
into consideration some abstruse
theories of it's members as to moral
responsibility, environment etc. which
are usually not considered the business
of court. Boiled down in nut shell,
the idea of at least one member OF the
Board seems to be to excuse the crime
on the grounds OF environment or sim
liar grounds if possible, his hostility to
saloons having an important part in
deciding his attitude. 1t is hard to see
why for such excuses pracClcally the
entire criminal population of our
penitentiaries should not be turned
loose.
Minneapolis Journal: One of the
best known educators in the state
writes to The Journal to inform it and
the people that in his opinion there is
no better way in which young men and
women may begin their careers in this
state than by serving for a time as
teachers. AS late as the latter part of
November there, we're country schools
in the state that had not yet opened
because they could not get teachers
While there is a surfeit Of applicants
for positions in occupations that do
not pay better than, or even as we'll as
school teaching there is a dearth OF
teachers.

that it would be infinitely better and
cheaper to look after our boys and pro-

good policy to show undue leniency

Is this not an encouragement to crime
