In the single cow contest Mr. Bierne was awarded first 

 and second prizes and Messrs. Hill third prize. In the herd 

 test Messrs. Hill won first and Mr. Morton second prize. By 

 a strange coincidence, both of Mr. Bierne's cows were five 

 years old and both calved the same day. They were bred by 

 N. K. Fairbank at his place at Lake Geneva, Wis., and were 

 sired by his bull Lily's Bonny Boy 2676. Lilyita's dam was 

 Zoelita 5949, out of Zoella 3301, by Nutwood 1408, a son of 

 the noted Materna 1334. Lily Ella was out of Zoella 3301, so 

 their blood lines were very similar. 



A very interesting account of Lily Ella's work as a three- 

 year-old was published in the July, 1898, Herd Register of the 

 American Guernsey Cattle Club. She then made a record 

 after first calf of 513.18 pounds of fat in one year, and a seven- 

 day record of 16.68 pounds of fat. The following table pre- 

 sents the details of her record from November 1, 1898, to 

 October 31, 1899. A study of this table shows that she not 

 only made her record of 782.16 pounds of butter-fat but she 

 also produced during the year a living calf, she being dry 

 eight days before calving and for two days after calving no 

 account being taken of her milk. Lilyita's record, while not 

 quite as high as that of Lily Ella, was made under similar 

 conditions, she having produced a living calf during the year 

 and was dry about the same length of time.
