BULL COWS SHOW
UP WELL IN TEST
M. P. Dau Gives Three HOIStUlnS
Seven Day TNOut
ALL EASILY MEET REQUIREMENTS
OF ADVANCED REGISTRATION.
Results For Cow Testing For Month
Somewhat Lower As Whole Than
In Previous Months.

NJ p. Dau, one of the leading Hol-
stein breeders on the tract, has just
completed a seven-day test with three
of his COWS, all three meeting the re-
Quirements for the Advanced Register
of the Holstein Freisian Association by
a wide margin, says the Bull Herald.
The COW making the best record was
Belle Hengerveld Quoque DeKol, No
104302, her production for the seven
days being 64S4 pounds Of milk, an
average of 96.6 pounds daily. The to-
tai butterfat for the period was 1868
pounds, which is equivalent to 23.32S
pounds commercial butter Her high
day production was 1874 pounds Of
milk and 2S5 pounds of butterfat. Con-
sidering this cows age, she being 10
years old, this is a truly remarkable
record
The second COW, Daisy Johanna Quo
que, No 160764, produced for the same
period sos pounds of milk and 1891
pounds of butterfat, which is equal to
1878 pounds of butter. She is a five
year-old.
The third COW in the test was two
year-old, Anna Mercedes Gadd, No.
253901. She produced 351 pounds Of
milk containing 9.776 pounds of butter
fat, this being equal to 1920 pounds
Of butter She was in very good con-
dition. Mr. Dau did not decide to put
her on test until after she freshened,
and then she made such remarkable
showing that he decided to have her
tested. She will undoubtedly make a
big record next year.
This COW is sired by Gadd, the pres
ent sire of the Dau herd, while several
other COWS in the Dau herd are direct
ly related to Duchess Skylark Orms-
by, the present holder of the worlds
record for butterfat production Mr.
Dau is also an enthusiastic member of
the Bull Pioneer Cow Testing Asscia-
ton.
The April work in the Bull Pioneer
Cow Testing association has fallen off
from the remarkable showing of the
previous month, and instead of seventy
COWS to make the honor roll, there are
fifty-three that made an average of 40
pounds of butterfat or better for the
month of April. c. E. Long again won
first place with the high herd average
with 43 pounds of butterfat, and he
had the highest individual producing
COW. Mig, the grade Holstein belong
ing to A. A. Stauffacher, the COW that
made the record for grade Holstein
during the month of February, and
was first during March, fell into sec
Ond place during the month which Just
closed, with a record of 615 pounds
of butterfat for April. This was high
er than she produced during the pre-
vious months, however.
The reason for the falling off in the
herds during the past month, accord
ing to the herd tester, o. T. Roster, is
due to the shortage of hay, and the
empty silOs. This is expected to be
one of the lightest months during the
year in the Cow Testing association
Some of the first cutting of alfalfa will
be ready to feed before long, and that
will produce more butter
M. p. Dau had the third highest pro
ducing COW for the month of April
with Daisy Johnna Quoque, No 160764
which cow made the A. R. o. record
later with better than three pounds o.
butter per day for seven consecutive
days. The COW was off her feed at the
time the official test was made, anC
) fell off in test as well as pounds OF
milk. Mr.. Dau expects to make one O.
the highest records with her in Nav.
