The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1922-04-13

operated by VIM. Jennissen south of
Sank Centre in Getty township, has
made during the past winter a very
creditable showing in production re-
cords with their herd of grade and
pure bred Holsteins.
Mr.. Jennissen now has in his herd
fourteen purebreds and his first at
tempt at official testing was made
last fall when Daisy Goldborn Pride
de Stafford was on official seven day
test and made a record of 20.26
pounds of butter from 434 pounds of
milk. This cow has continued her
high record during the first five
months of her lactation period during
which time she has produced S,735
pounds of milk containing 329.57
pounds of fat equivalent to ALLY
pounds of butter. In January this
COW produced 1871 pounds of milk
containind 90.3 pounds of butter.
Her high day in milk production was
~ pounds.
Mr.. Jennissen reports that one of
his grades is milking from 80 to 81
pounds daily and averaging a fat
test of around SO. This grade, if
on official test, would produce in sew
en- days better than 20 pounds of
fat.
The Jennissen herd is headed by
an excellent young sire purchased
from the Henry Bergman Holstein
farm, Sank Centre. Mr.. Jennissen's
son, Math, acts as herdsman at the
Jennissen farm and is confident that
he will be able to build up record
herd with the foundation stock now
in his possession.
Seed of Kitchenette Squash Of
fered GfOwers-Emited quantities of
the seed of the Kitchen Hubbard
squash have been placed with various
Minnesota seed houses, in order that
seed in large enough quantities to
supply the possible demand may be
grown for sale in 1928. The Kitch-
enette squash was developed by the
section Of vegetable gardening of the
horticultural division at University
Farm, and was named because of it's
uniform small size which makes it
especially desirable for family use.
w. T. Tapley, secretary of the Min
nesota State Vegetable Growers as
ISOLATION, and in charge of the section
Of vegetable gardening Of the univer-
sity, says every grower who desires
to give the Kitchenette a trial can
obtain limited quantity of seed free
of charge by writing to him at Uni
versity Farm.
