a question of which is liked best or
which has most needed, best de-
veloped quality. Mr.. Bennett said
that some of the dairy breeds are
very old, the Holstine- -Fresian breed
being originated two thousand years
ago. He said that the largest amount
of butter fat produced by Holstine
cow in year was one thousand five
hundred pounds, but that the aver
age for the United States is only one
hundred fifty pounds. The highest
record for Jersey is one thousand
pounds of butter-fat in year. There
are nine hundred thousand dairy cows
in Missouri, but not more than half of
them pay. An increase of five pounds
of butter fat per COW per year would
equal two million dollars.
