Here's Butter Record Claim.

E. K. Mentzer, well known farmer
of Ringgold district, Washington county,
has established new butter-making
record. In 1908 from seven cows he re-
ceived yield of 2,l38 pounds of first
class butter. The highest yield was l8a
pounds from one cow in seven days.
This result was obtained without over
feeding. Mr.. Mentzer's best previous
yield for one year from seven cows was
2,l25 pounds of butter. Since January
the cows have produced 1850 pounds Of
butter.
