.UN|VE RS|TY. Of
NEBRASKA HAS 8
CHAMP ION COWS
They Have a Yearly Average
of 903 Pounds of Butter
Each; Herd is Among the
Best in United States.
lRx The Associated press.l

Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. 1.-THE de-
velopment of eight cows with a
yearly average of 903 pounds of
butter each. places the dairy herd
at the University of Nebraska farm
among the best herds in the Unit
ed States and at the top of the list
of agricultural experiment station
herds.
All eight of the high producing
Nebraska cows are Holsteins. At
the head of the list is La Verna,
champion milk and butter pro-
Queer of the state and one of the
best sixteen cows of the world. In
a year ending December q. She
produced 1895 pounds of butter
and 29,554 pounds of milk. Among
the eight also is Sultana, champion
2-year-old butter producer of Ne
braska. She produced 1868
pounds of butter in one year, a re-
markable record for q 2-year-old,
and exceeding all previous produc-
ton figures in this state for a COW
of her age.
Another COW in the group is Kate
Gerben, who was the 3-year-old
champion of the world. She is now
IS years old. At years of age she
produced S31 pounds of butter in
one year. In seven milking periods
she produced a total of 115, 125|
pounds of milk containing 4,400i
pounds of fat. The nutrients in
this milk equal the carcasses of
forty-seven 1,400-pound steers.
Katy Gerben has produced six bull
calves which sold for $4,000.
The dairy herd at the university
farm consists of 1872 head, repre-
senting the Holstein, Jersey, Guern-
sey and Ayrshire breeds. Fifty
five head of cows and heifers are
of milking age. The head of the
Holstein herd is King Piebe Pom
tiac Segis. for which the university
has refused the sum of $16,500. A
son of this sire and La Verna,
champion COW, is held at a price of
$4,000. He is 10 months old,
This remarkable dairy herd rep
resents dozen or more years of
careful breeding on the part of the
experiment station and the college
of agriculture. Extensive expert
ments are being carried on along
several lines of development, with
the view of demonstrating the pos
sibilities of breeding and feeding,
and. to encourage the dairy in
dustry.

and gamblers.
MCVey little looked the college
man with his shambling gait, his
disheveled hair, his pasty face and
ragged clothes partly concealed by
a dirty gray sweater.
ELMER McVeY have you any
thing to say why sentence should
not be imposed upon you ?" the
judge asked.
mo, your honor, l have nothing
to say in that respect replied the
man. II am anxious the judgment
of the court be given, but with
your honor's permission, l should
like very much to say few words
on another matter"

and the prisoner continued:
