No attempt has been made to classify animals according to 

 yearly production, but it is worthy of note that the junior three- 

 year-old heifer, Pietertje De Kol Burke 2d, produced 18,950.1 

 pounds milk, and 826 pounds butter, placing her fifth in her class 

 of world records, and the full aged cows, De Kol Hubbard 

 Pietertje 2d, produced 18,207 pounds milk, and 898 pounds butter. 

 These cows were bred and developed in Connecticut at the Agri- 

 cultural College. An interesting incident in connection with the 

 best day's production of milk is worth relating. De Kol Hubbard 

 Pietertje produced 90.1 pounds in February, 1913. In December, 

 the same 3^ear, Genevia Maria De Kol 2nd, owned by Wallace 

 Holstein Co., raised it to 98.4 pounds. As if to regain lost laurels 

 for her herd, Fay M. 2nd of the College herd, three weeks later, 

 produced 98.6 pounds of milk. It is interesting to notice in the 

 same connection that Fay M. 2nd slightly exceeded the production 

 of Genevia Maria De Kol 2nd for the week, she having produced 

 656.7 pounds, while the latter named cow yielded 654 pounds. 

 In 1916 these records were surpassed as indicated in the list above. 



Breeders Making Official Tests. 



That Connecticut breeders are interesting themselves with 

 the possibilities of the breed is shown by the fact that twenty- 

 three breeders placed cows in the advanced registry in the seven- 

 day division from January 1, 1914, to December 31, 1916. The
