taking $500 prisoners.
Such an important gain at this par
ticular point suggests the most dan
gerous menace toward the German
held city of Laon. The ground from
Malmaison and Chavingnon to Laon
is slightly rolling downhill and the
great French city Is not more than
six miles distant.
Laon is the base point Of the So
called Siegfried line, part Of the gen.
eral line of the Hindenburg front.
The wedge driven into the German
position by the French victory yes

present German battle line. 1t is
where It turns sharply from the gen.
eral east to west line Of the Chemin

ANOTHER HOLSTEIN
HE|FER MAKES RECORD

-----
Another Holstein Makes a Worlds
Record" The press of the country
might we'll keep that oft-repeated an
nouncement as a standing head"
ready for use at a moments notice,
for the reports of Holstein cows
breaking worlds records in milk and
butterfat production have become
commonplaces.
Yet, among breeders and dairymen
there is a never-ending interest in the
wonderful progress In scientific
breeding and care which these re-
cords signify. There is also a rapid
| ly-growing concern in the breed
which is capable Of this development.
The Holstein- -Friesian heifer Jewel
Pontiac Segis 229261, has broken the
worlds record in the junior two-year
old class of the division covering
tests begun not less than 240 days
after calving.
There are two remarkable points
to be considered in this achievement:
First, she exceeded the records Of all
other cows in her class in both milk
and butter production. The former
worlds record of 21.91 pounds Of
butter in seven days was held by
Finderne Mutual Fayne, while the
former worlds record Of 445.5
pounds of milk in seven days was
held by Johanna De Kol. Of Rush
Court. The record of the new cham
pion is 473.6 pounds of milk contain
ing 22.O7 pounds of butter, In seven
days.
Secondly, Jewel Pontiac Segis es-
tablished her record 335 days after
freshing and had no special care dur
ing the year. In fact, she did not
even have a screened stall, but ran
in the yard with the herd, during the
hot weather and fly time, and was
exhibited at the Minneapolis State
Fair, where she was passed by many
thousands each day, an ordeal which
is not considered conducive to the
best results, especially in the case OF
heifer having the high nervous tenn
permanent possessed by the new cham
pion.
She holds the worlds record foi
both the milk and butter in the sixty
and ninety day divisions and has now
broken the records for milk and but
ter, and the combination record for
both, in the eight-months-after-calv-
ing division.
Jewel Pontiac Segis was bred and
is owned by J. w. Hackney, of Ar
den Farms, Inc, of st. Paul, Min
nesota. Her sire is King Segis Po-
tiac Count 5000 and her dam is De
Kol Jewel Pontiac 142184.
Had she been given all the advan-
tages usually afford in such tests,
there is little doubt that this great
two-year-old heifer would have es-
tablished a new longtime record for
her class, in her years work.
It Is of interest to note that Rag
ner Wahlenburg, herdsman at Arden
Farms Inc. who developed Jewel Pom
tiac Segis, also developed the first
seventeen daughters of King Pontiac
Segis Count, with an averaged re-
cord as junior two-year-olds of more
than 81 pounds of butter in seven
, days.
