MISSOURI CHIEF
JOSEPHINE BREAK
ING RECORDS
Columbia, NO., Dec. s.

OOAuAAADAhI anvil wv "
Missouri Chief Josephine, the
Holstein COW ait the Agricultural
College of the University Of Mis-
souri,, is the worlds Champion milk
producer, and has broken the rec
ords made by Colantha Fourth's Jo-
hanna, of Rosendale, Wis, which
formerly held the higi mark.
Josephine, at the end Of K
months test, has averaged forty
seven quarts a day, which far excels
any previous record. Many cows
have produced fifty quarts of milk
a day for a week, but none has
equaled Josephine's six months
test.
In addition, at the end of nine
months Josephine is just one ton
of milk ahead of the worlds record
for that time and is gaining on the
record daily. Most cows show
a decline in production during the
last four months of the test for a
year. josephine showed a slight de-
crease for a time, but has proved
that she can come back" Her
year ends ON January II. The Mis-
souri, Holstein consumes IS cents
worth of food a day.
The cows best record for a SIN
gle day was fiftyfive quarts or llO
pounds of weighed milk. The ant
NAL lis miIked four times a day and
her daily regime DIS under the direct
supervision of Prof. c. H. Eckles oil
the dairy department of the Col
lege. /. T. Van Note, university herd
man, feeds and cares for the cow
During the summer her stall was
screened to keep flies out and
electric fans we're put in TO Keep
her from suffering from the heat.
In addition she was given a shower
bath every day. A special plot OF
blue grass was set aside for her ex'
elusive use. Josephine is fed silage
and green fodder to give her plen'
ty of milk producing material.
What this ~S-years-old Missouri
bred Holstein accompIishes can be
appreciated when 1t is recalled that
the average city family uses less
than a quart of milk a day and 10
sephine produced fiftyfive quarts
in a single day, OF enough for more
than that many families
