John w. Attix Improves His Holstein
Stock by Purchase of Thoroughbred
Kenton, April John W. Attix,
our enterprising farmer and stock
raiser, who is getting into thorough
bred stockraising, has purchased dur
ing the past week a Dutchland Col
antha Sir. Copia bull calf, said to be
the very finest stock. The ralf is
very promising. 1t was sired by the
world S famous Colantha Johanna Lad
whose dam holds the worlds record
for milk and butter. She made 35. %
pounds of butter in Z days, and 1247. 50
pounds in one years from 27, 432 pounds
of milk. Being sired by a bull of
this quality, from cow like COpia
Hengerveld 4th we have reason
to expect that he will sire some
exceptional stock in the future. Copia
Hengerveld is one of the largest pro-
ducing neifers. She has given nearly
80 pounds of milk in one day as a
four year old; 22.4 pounds of butter
in Z days, and will greatly increase
this record when she arrives at ma
turity. Her dam was by Pistertje
Hengervels's Count DeKol, sire of
DeKol Creamelle, the famous COW
that gave 119. a pounds of milk in one
day. Copia Hengerveld, the grand
dam of this bull, is one of the great
est producing cows of the breed as
she is the dam of three daughters,
one the worlds ex-champion three
year old with 27 pounds, and two
other young daughters with % pounds
each. Two of these daughters have
produced two year olds that have
made from q to "a pounds of butter
each in days, one of which is max
ing a worlds record for both mill
and butter in the semi-annual officia
work.
