Grace KOningen, a Holstein-

Montana State college, has broken
the worlds 1O-yeaP-old milk pro-
duction record with 80, lbs.
of milk for the year ending March
81, 1924, according to e. j. Has

department. The figures submitted
to NJ. IL. Gardiner, superintendent
of advanced registry OF the HOI-
stein-Friesian association of Amer
lea, give the college cow a years
milk production of 32,293.7 pounds
and a years butter production of
1916 pounds, which also gives
her the second highest butter in
record in the world for cows of her
age.
In celebration of this remarkable
performance the college folks, citi-
of Bozeman and the Gallatin
valley and leading dairy enthusiasts
from all parts of Montana gathered at
Bozeman recently for a banquet, with
Grace Koningen herself occupying a
decorated stall in the center Of the
banquet hall. With all the honor,
pomp and ceremony befitting a queen,
Grace Koningen was proclaimed the

today is speeding around the world as
one of the wonder cows of the day.

of the party, named Bassett. made
a test of a painful of gravel, and
found three cents worth of fine gold.
This was quite satisfactory and after
making other tests, they returned to
Walla Walla with about $50 in dust.
AS soon as the spring of 1861
opened, the rush began. The river
steamers and all other means of
transportation were taxed to the
limit. Many of the gold seekers
brought their outfits from C~alifor-
MIA or other places where they had
been mining; some bought at Port
land, while others, as is depicted in
the pageant scenes, made their pur-
chases at Walla Walla, where the

All needed something when they

supplies could be obtained, and
the merchants were soon doing a.
thriving trade. New merchants and
new stocks of goods appeared to help
supply the demand, and within a few
months the little village became a
thriving town, with all the advan-I
accessories and vices of a from
tier mining town.
During April and May, 1862, short
after the opening of navigation, it
was estimated that 10000 to $4,000
people passed through Walla Walla
On their way to the mines.

addition to the grain she was fed
about 16 pounds (dry weight of beet
pulp, fed wet and soaked in molasses
water, about Is pounds of cured al

green hay in the summer and about
so to 70 pounds of roots daily.
Grace Koningen was dropped at
Montana State college February 1,
1913, the daughter Of an excellent
college cow which, in spite of two
seriously injured teats, made an unof-
ficial test of 1908 pounds of milk
and 1851 pounds of butter a year
under ordinary herd conditions. The
mothers dam was Nora Koningen
and her sire was Wisconsin Bess
Chief, a famous Holstein bull, par
ticularly we'll known because of his
great daughter, Spring Brook Bess
Burke. Grace Koningen's sire was
Johanna Roel Stienser who traces di-
to Colantha's 4th Johanna and
Sarcastic Lad.
Grace Koningen has freshened sew
en- times and six of her offspring have
been bulls. One of these bulls was
formerly owned by DR.. Joseph Pie
dalue of Bozeman, president of the
Montana Holstein-Friesian %associa-
lion, and now heads the famous Hof-
herd at Lewistown. Another

Chicago, as well as San Francisco,
now began to take an interest in the

1t was also estimated that 100 pack
trains of not less than SO animals
each were engaged in the carrying
trade between Montana and the head
of navigation on the Columbia river.
The total value of goods carried on
these pack trains for the year was
at $~1,2O0,000. These goods
were packed a total distance of $50

varying from 13 to IS cents per

There is a decided flavor of the
old west, when steamboats, piled the
waters of the Upper Missouri river
and bull teams plodded their way
across the plains from Fort Benton
to the early day Montana settlements,

The picture on the cover is a draw

of the steamboat Benton" taken
in 1880. The photograph came from
the collection of Jere Sullivan of
Fort Benton and the drawing by
J. Ross Pollock of Helena, is good.
There is some information regarding
this famous boat on the first reading

to a Bismarck newspaper, as follows:

Grace Koningen was MIXED four
times a day during the long test peri
cd, and today, after it is all over,
she is in practically as fine condition
as she was when she started. At the
outset of her test, during the months
of May, and June, she averaged more
than 100 pounds of milk a day and an
official seven-day test credited her
with 721 pounds of milk and 1922
pounds of butter. Her best days
production was 1874 pounds, which
in familiar terms is approx
mately Sc quarts.
With her production of better
than 16 tons of milk in the year,
Grace Koningen not only becomes the
highest 1~O-year-old milk producer in
the world, but she is the highest milk
producer of any age in Montana, the
highest milk producer of any age
owned by any state college, the high
est butter producer of any age owned
by any state college, the highest Z
day butter producer in Montana and
the second highest butter producer
for her age in the world. Illustrating
the type" and milk production go
together, it is interesting to note that
Grace has been judged the grand
champion milk COW wherever she has
been shown.
Second Yearly Record
The test just closed was the second
official yearly record she has made.
She was first placed on test as an g.
year-old and at that time made a rec
ord of 29.647 pounds of milk and l.
1926 pounds of butter, giving her
a place as highest in milk production
and second highest in butter produc-
ton among college owned cows.
During her recent world record
performance she demonstrated an ex-
traordinary economy of production,
considering the feed given. At no
time did she get more than "a pounds
of grain and the average for the
year will run close to 20 pounds. She
was never forced" For the first
month and a half of her test, and
while she was making her seven
day record. her grain ration consisted
of barley, oats bran and oil meal. At
the end Of this time "Ceretana Dairy

substituted for the above mentioned
grains for the purpose of getting a

A great many men and women pre- sume on the privileges of marriage. They think that because their husbands and wives are bound tU them and cannot get away, they can treat them as they please. Therefore, they are cruel and neglectful to them; they make no effort to please, and they say mean, insulting things to them that they would not say to anybody else on earth. Yet these very people, who are so unsatisfactory as wives and husbands, do not wish their homes broken up. They do not want to lose their husbands and wives.
 Therefore, I am very certain that the only way to bring such men and women to their senses is for them to be made
