Five Big Jersey Records.

Big dairy records are becoming
so frequent as to prove the assertion
that good dairying is getting to be
the most popular form of advanced
farming. The last splendid records
belong to the Jerseys and comes
from r. M. Cow, secretary of the
National Jersey Association. He re-
ports as follows: Five Jersey COWS
have recently completed authenticate
ed years tests in which the yields
amount to over 700 pounds OF butter.
1t would seem that COWS capable of
doing this are to be no rarity in the
Jersey breed. The five now under
consideration were bred and tested in
widely separated sections of the couD-
try; Oregon, Pennsylvania, Nebraska
and New York The 20 COWS already
in this 700 pound list, whose records
run above 100 pounds IL ounces, in the
year. have been bred in different parts
of the country, and belong to different
families of Jerseys.
The highest record among the par
ticular five in question is that OF
Pearly Exile st. Lambert 25OlOl.
This COW was started on years test
January 5, 1909, and finished on
January 4. 1910, milking every day
during this period. At the begin
ming of the test she was two years and
five months old and had dropped her
calf on the End of January. The test
was conducted under the supelv vision
of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment
station, four different testers acting
during the year, one Of them being
Prof. f. L. Kent. The years yield
was II, 345 pounds, 8 ounces of milk,
GIG pounds, 1.27 ounces of fat, equiva-
lent to $50 pounds of butter. 81 per
cent fat, computed by overun, allow
ing for losses in Dreaming and churn-
ing. This record places Pearly Exile
st. Lambert fifth in order of merit in
the list of cows making TOO pounds or
over of butter in the year, and is the
highest record to date amongst cows
between two and two and one half
years of age. Her largest months re-
cord was made during the fourth
month of her test, l,246.2 POUNDS.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-07-01

Her best fat record was made during
the fifth month of her test, and was
just over 80 pounds. Her first months
milk amounted to, 1913 pounds; the
last months milk during the test to
800 pounds. The average percentage
of fat for the year was 6.61. The milk
averages 1,028.S pounds, and the fat
averages 60 pounds per month.
The COW rating second among the
FIVE is Eva Of Engleside 215398 This
COW was tested under the supervision
of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, four different test
ers being sent during the course OF the
year. Her test was started May l,
1909, when she was nine years and
eleven months old, her last calf being
dropped on the Goth of April. During
the 365 days of the test she produced
IA, 832 pounds of milk, containing

pounds butter she ranks seventh. Her
first months milk amounted to l, 785
pounds and her last months to ZIG. 3
pounds, the first months fat yield be-
ing 7O5 pounds and the last months
AZ pounds. The average percentage OF
fat in the milk for the year was 4.94;
average milk per month. l,236
pounds; average fat per month, 81. Is
pounds. Her owner reported, few
DAYS after the completion of her test,
that she was still milking II quarts or
over per day, and that there was not
day during the year that she did
not take her feed, and at no time did
she require the attention of a veterin-
aIian.
The third COW on the list is Glenida's
Baby 20477O, tested by the Nebraska
Agricultural Experiment Station, two
different testers visiting the farm in
different months during the year.
