nearly every Northern State. Hundreds of 

 private tests might be presented in substantia- 

 tion of that statement; but the following will 

 serve as fair illustrations of the results being 

 obtained by practical farmers and dairymen: 



Mrs. Flora V. Spencer, formerly of New York but now of Pennsylvania, 

 whose herd supplied more cows for the Columbian dairy test than came 

 from any other one source, furnishes the following record of Short-horn 

 cows which she has owned : 



Kittle Clyde (Vol. 13), 13,200 Ibs. milk In eight months; 660 Ibs. of milk 

 In ten days, from which was made 33 Ibs. of butter. Her dam, Fillpall, 

 gave 60 Ibs. of milk per day. Kittle Clay 2d produced 69 Ibs. of milk in one 

 day. Cherry llth produced 61 Ibs. of milk per day. 



Lucy Ann (Vol. 35) gave 8,948^ Ibs. of milk in forty-seven weeks, from 

 which was made 425.14 Ibs. butter. In seven days she gave 280 Ibs. 8 oz. of 

 milk, which produced 13.32 Ibs. butter. Betsey 8th (Vol. 3T) made 14.T2 Ibs. 

 butter in seven days. 



Fillpail 16th, with her first calf, gave In a year 6,056 Ibs. 8 oz. of milk, 

 from which was made 305.07 Ibs. of butter. Mrs. Spencer states that for 

 seven years she has not had a matured cow with a smaller record than 

 39^ Ibs. milk per day, and the herd for three years averaged 4 per cent 

 butter- fat by the Babcock test. The cow Betsey of this herd made a pound 

 of cheese in the Columbian dairy test cheaper than any other cow of any 

 breed. 



Mr. J. K. Innes. the enterprising proprietor of Glenside Farm, Granville 

 Center, Pa., owner of the famous Columbian test cow Kittle Clay 4th, sup- 

 plies the following :

 April 6, 1896, 7,278.8 Ibs. milk, which made 337 Ibs. butter. This was with 

 her first calf. The next season she gave in seven days 308 Ibs. of milk, 

 which made 13.85 Ibs. butter. 



Mamie Clay, daughter of Kittle Clay 4th, gave from June 1 to June 30, 

 1898, 1,175 Ibs. milk, that carried an average of 3.9 per cent butter- fat, after 

 having been in milk something over four months.
