422 FEEDS AND FEEDING 



fat in the year ending November 29, 1920. During the year she was fed 

 19 to 22 Ibs. of a concentrate mixture made up of a large variety of con- 

 centrates and modified considerably at different periods. In addition in 

 winter she received 15 to 20 Ibs. of soaked beet pulp, 21 to 31 Ibs. silage, 

 and 15 to 21 Ibs. mixed hay. In summer soiling crops were fed in place 

 of silage, and in autumn roots were added to the ration. 



Lads Iota, 17 a 5-year-old pure-bred Jersey, yielded 18,632 Ibs. of milk 

 and 1,048.07 Ibs. of butterfat in the year ending April 7, 1922. This 

 record made her the champion Jersey cow of the world. "While not a large 

 cow she has great capacity and ability to consume a large amount of 

 feed, being fed as high as 27 Ibs. of concentrates a day. Wheat bran, 

 wheat feed ("mill run"), linseed meal, rolled oats, and corn were the 

 concentrates fed, the proportions being changed somewhat during the 

 test. During the summer she had clover pasture, with clover hay and 

 about 4 Ibs. daily of beet pulp in addition. After the pasture season, 

 silage and kale were fed instead. 



The world's milk record for the Ayrshire breed is held at present 

 (June, 1922) by Garclaugh May Mischief with a yearly production of 

 25,329.0 Ibs. milk and 894.91 Ibs. fat. During her record she con- 

 sumed 4,946 Ibs. concentrates, 668 Ibs. dried beet pulp, 11,200 Ibs. 

 corn silage, 22,300 Ibs. beets, 2,780 Ibs. hay, and a small amount of 

 soiling crops. The Ayrshire record for butterfat is held by Lily of 

 Willowmoor with a record of 22,596.0 Ibs. milk and 955.56 Ibs. fat. 18 



In June, 1922, Hawthorn Dairy Maid, a 6-year-old Brown Swiss, 

 completed a yearly test in which she yielded 22,622.6 Ibs. milk, containing 

 927.23 Ibs. butter fat. This made her the champion Brown Swiss cow. 

 During the test she was fed a mixture of oats, barley, corn, bran, and 

 molasses, with alfalfa hay and corn silage for roughage, and dried beet 

 pulp in addition. During part of the growing season she was turned 

 to pasture with the rest of the herd.
