| ing 76 pounds. This and other similar
 records of the breed were received
 with widespread incredulity.
 In 1880 the COW Aaggie made a rec
 ord of 1S,OO4 5-16 pounds of milk within one year from date of calving. This record was almost universally re- garded as an impOssibility. Among those that joined-in this view wac
 Professor Long of England, then pub fishing large work on dairy husban-
 dry, which was widely subscribed for in this country, and issued in quarterly numbers. Thus the capacity of this breed for milk production became matter of more than ordinary public interest. In August, 1885, the owners of Aaggie commenced a record of the COW CIotnilde. They invited public
 scrutiny of this record during its full progress. A number of persons in terested themselves in it in order to learn the amount of her production be-
 yond a doubt, among which were lead ing men connected with dairy publica- tions. At different periods including one during the last week of her record, she was under the official watchcare of the Superintendent of Holstein Fries ian Advanced Registry. Her record for the year was 26,021 Is pounds. During the closing week commence
 ing 358 days from dropping her calf,
 sne gave from 53 to 56 pounds daily. So thoroughly was the public con vinced of the correctness of this rec
 ord that higher records have since been received without an intimation of former incredulity. Pietertje 2d, in her eleventh year produced 30,31S 1-2 pounds. and Princess of Wayne. Tn her twelfth year, 29,OOS 11-16 pounds The latter gave 3,1S2 1-S pounds in thirty days, the highest days yield being 113 1-16 pounds. Seventy-seven cows have been received in Advanced Regis try that have produced from 15,00O to 90, 900 pounds in periods of ten months to one year.
 There is a rapidly growing recogni- ton of the superior value of the milk Of this breed for direct consumption. The National Stockman says: "Ev- cry physician of note maintains that normal milk properly balanced is far better for food, especially for infants
 and young children, than is milk rich
 CT in fat. Probably milk containing not more than 3.4 per cent. of fat is fully rich enough, since the human mothers milk seldom exceeds that fig ure and often falls below per cent. and it is said that nursing infants of such mothers are more healthy than
 those who get richer milk. Good medi-
 cal authorities have stated time and time again that normal milk is much
 healthier for the human than is rich milk and there is not a careful, intel
 ligent breeder today who does not
 know that three per cent. milk, fresh from the COW, is much better for the calf than six per
 cent. or even per cent. milk. Indeed
 it is quite freely conceded that hun
 dreds of Jersey calves owe their pre-
 mature death to a surfeit of rich new milk Disordered stomachs, indigestion and SCOUTS are the results when such milk is fed to calves"
 Professor Carlyle, of Wisconsin, Experiment Station, said in an ad-
 dress:
 "A farmer of Illinois, operating an
 extensive dairy of over 200 cows, is
 delivering milk in Chicago on the recommendations of the physicians
 and surgeons there. He receives 12I cents per quart for his milk whole
 sale. On visiting his farm, he gave me an idea which I had never heard pre- sented before, and which l am confi-
 dent is going to be elaborated, espe- cially for the milk supply of cities. The Physicians and Surgeons associ- ation of Chicago frequently visit him
