KANSAS COWS
MAKE RECORDS
CarIotta Gave 1878 Pounds of
MIR TN One Year - Fairly
Good Average Yield Is
5000 Pounds.

If a COW gives 5000 pounds of milk
a year most men are satisfied. This
is fairly good average yield. But
here are some two-year-old Ayrshires
tht surpass that figure by a long way.
Their work was described by Prof o.
E. Reed, head of the dairy depart
ment, in the annual institute. Here
arefhe records:
Canary Belle, 10,118 pounds of milk
and 437 pounds of butter, 81 per cent
test.
Fearnot of Oakdale, 5,21S pounds CT
milk and 292 pounds of butter, 4.08
per cent test.
Johanna of Juneau, 1851 pounds of
milk and 1886 pounds of butter, 3.72
per cent test.
Rose of Oakdale, 1886 pounds of
milk and 30S pounds of butter, 4.42
per cent test.
Any one of these COWS would sup
port a family of five persons. Such
COWS probably could be bought for
SITE or 5000, but not at the college.
The cost of feeding the ration, and the
income, may be gagged for all the
group by referring to the history of
Johanna of juneau, a model family
COW; Johanna ate, every day, thirty
pounds of silage, ten pounds of alfalfa
had, and nine pounds of grain, con-
sisting of four parts Of corn, two parts
of bran, and one part of cottonseed
meal. This ration cost S. month.
1t was fed as described only when the
COW was giving the highest yield. One
pound of the grain ration was allow
ed for every three pounds of milk, so
that when Johanna gave 27 pounds of
milk day she received 9 pounds of
the grain.
Johanna gave S93 gallons of milk
which sold in Manhattan for go cents
a gallon, cents quart, or $685.. 76.
Not bad kind of a COW to have
around. And, by the way, a gallon of
milk weighs eight pounds. Professor
Reed told, too, of another fine COW, a
Holstein, thirteen years old-Carlotta
Abbekerk 52826. Carlotta's year rec.
ord test was finished ten days ago.
She gave 1878 pounds of milk and
515 pounds of butter fat, equivalent
to SOC pounds of commercial butter.
Her feed cost $95.50 Most cows pass
their usefulness period at 6 or 8 years.
This old cow Of 10 years returns a
profit, leaving out details, of $75.75
net If her milk had been sold at 7
cent? a quart it would have brought
S51350. Deducting the feed bill the
owner would still have $418. Her
milk was skinned, though, for the
alves, and the cream used for butter
