A Great Production.
BY comparing the above figures
with the figures showing the milk
production of the cows at Hillside it
will be noticed that the average pro-
ductton at Hillside is two and one
half times that of the average pro-
ductton of the Netherlands. almost
five times the average production of
cows in the United States and four
and one-half times the average pro-
duction of the COWS in Connecticut.
Commenting on the table and what
it shows, Supt. Thorne said, 'EThe
facts ought to remove any doubt one
may have as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
maintining herd of pure bred cows
The above cut shows GoIdbron De

are always some persons who scott at
the idea of maintaining a herd of
pure bred dairy COWS. The answer
is that pure bred returns more in the
way of production and sale of stock
than do scrubs or grades
The United States Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry recently completed a
study of some 100000 cows in the
United States. In a. statement is
sued only few days ago by that
bureau it was stated that the re-
turns from pure bred dairy COWS
considering only their milk produc-
ing value and not the sale of off
spCing) was IS per cent greater
than the return from grade or scrub
cows.
THE kind of cows maintained in
the herd at Hillside may be determ-
ined from the milk production
Fifteen of the COWS were run on

yearly test. The weight of each

The best milk producing herd OF
cows in Connecticut, in the United
States, and for the breed of COW, in
the world. is owned by the Charities
department of the city of Bridgeport
Figures compiled by Supt- of Chart
ties Angus P. Thorne, who is respons-
BILE for the record breaking herd,
show that the SO pure bred HCrSteinS
and some young non-producing cows,
at Hillside Home is by far the great
est milk producing herd in the world
yielding on the average 17,43S.3
pounds of milk yearly
The biggest producer is H. A. P, a
five year old Holstein, producing
21,915.4 pounds of milk for the past
wear
At the present producing rate, the
COWS will give 1888 pounds within
the next four months, Supt- Thorne
stated. One cow now on test will give
$4,000 pounds of milk for the year,
q record never before achieved by any
cow in the world of which there is
a record.
Pure Bred Stock
Pure Bred stock is the secret of
high milk producing stock. 1t does
not pay to experiment with scrub
cows according to Supt. Tnorne. An
other astonishing fact brought out
in the report isthat two year old
cows produced 1273O.7 pounds and
27S9.G pounds of milk respectively.
COWS seldom mature to the milk pro-
uuC4LS axe before IOuF years his
is another record never reached
before
The average yearly production of
the cows at Hillside Home is II, 43S.3
pounds of milk yearly. In Connect
cut, the average yearly production of
COWS is 4,12S pounds of milk. The
comparison between these two figures
is enough to show the true value of
the herd owned by the city. Hol-
stein cows were imported originally
from Denmark. Figures taken from
a report of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Department of Agri-
culture show that the average yearly
milk production Of COWS in that coun-
try is 5,666 pounds of milk. This
goes to show that Holstein COWS
thrive better in the United States
than in the country they were bred
in. Twenty-seven COWS in the herd
are now on test, and it is believed
that their average yearly production
will be in excess of the figure given
above.
The following table shows the milk
production in countries of Europe
noted as COW producing nations:
