Urbana, H., January 6.-The five
greatest butter cows of each breed
have been listed here by Professor w.
". Yapp, of the department of dairy
hustandry at the University of Him
ois. They make a galaxy undreamed
OF by the farmer of fifteen years ago,
so fast have these world beating cows
developed. All but one hail from the
United States.
The breeds of dairy cattle vary so
widely in their ability TO produce milk
that II is out of the question to COM
pare them on that basis" says Prof.
Yapp in prefact to his table. ''The
butter fat production of the various
breeds Is not so different however,
snd II we use fat as the standard they
may be more readily compared.
The accompanying table shows the
i've leading butter fat producing cows
of each breed. 1t is interesting to OBJ
serve that all Of the breeds with the
ezeeption OF one, the Ayrshire, have an
average production per cow for the
i've listed IN excess of 1000 pounds of
back ten or q dozen years recall that
there wasn't COW which had pro-
duced q Thousand pounds of fat at
that time. The fye greatest butter
fat producing COWS OF each breed. The
name of the cow, milk pounds, fat
pounds, and the name of the cast

Greatest Buttefat Producers
Fifteen OF the sixteen greatest but
texfat producing cows in the world
every one OF them a super cow-are
to be found in the United States, re-
ports Prot. w. w. Yapp Of the Uniyer-
gity OF Illinois in an inquiry he con-
ducted for The Associated Press. The
leader Of the list, however, halls from
Canada- Great as these cows are, the
future win produce even greater. Prof.
Yapp predicts. Prefacing his list, the
Illinois dairy husbandry expert says:
"The only common ground upon
which II seems advisable to attempt
to compare COWS is better fat produc-
tion- 1t Is not possible nor practicable
to compare cows on the basis of milk
yield inasmuch as the breeds differ
90 marketiy that both quantity and
quality Of the milk which they pro-
duce. They are very similar however,
in their total butterfat production.
Ut is long Jump from one hundred
pounds to 1900 pounds of butterfat
Yet this amount just about represents
the difference in production Between
the primitive COW and our present day
marvels. What, would those original
cows think and more particularly,
what would their owners think if they
could see our newest super-co
Holds Highest World Record
.The accompanying table gives the
sixteen cows regardless of breed, age,
ownership or location which have the
largest butterfat productions for the
yearly period It is extremely inter
esting to observe that Bella Pontiac,
for instance, the highest butterfat
producing COW in the world, would
supply butter sufficient to feed twen-
ty-four averages families of four
members each for the entire year, and
that any one of the cows would feed
twenty families allowing 16k pounds
butter per person per year, which is
the approximate average consumption
according to the United States cir
cular No. IS for 1918"
The sixteen greatest butterfat pro-
ducing cows in the world are thus re-
corded by the Illinois professor:
