We think IL is safe to affirm that 10
introduction OF CHS breed has raised
directly or Indirectly, the average o
! American cows from $500 to 200
/ pounds. One Of the COWS Of tho earliest
permanent importation yielded 1908 rs
pounds Of milk in niue weeks, the high
est days yield being rs pounds. This
and other similar records Of the breed
were received with widespread incred-
ulity.
In 1850 the COW Asggie made a RECORD
q 1s,o04 5-i6 pounds of milk within
one year from date OF calvlng. This
record was almost universally regarded
as an inlpossibility. Among those that
I Joined in this view was Professor Long
Of England then publishing q large
work on dairy husbandry, which was
widely subscribed for in this country.
and issued IN quarterly numbers. Thus
the capacity Of this breed for milk pro
duction became a matter Of more than
ordinary public interest. In August
1888. the owners OF Aaggie commenced q
record of the COW, ClUthitle. They H.
vited public scrutiny Of this record dur
ing It's fun progress. A number Of per-
sons interested themselves in it IN order
