CATTLE 



made in this country, Thomas Motley of Massachusetts testing 

 the cow Flora 113, when, as a three-year-old, 14 pounds 8 ounces 

 of butter was made in seven days from her milk. The same year 

 the cow Rose 240 yielded 17 pounds in seven days. From this 

 time thousands of seven-day tests have been made of Jersey 

 cows, showing records ranging from 14 pounds of churned, 

 salted, and worked butter up to that of Princess 2d 8046, 

 reported to have made an official test of 46 pounds 12^ ounces 

 in one week in 1885. The testing of Jerseys for butter production 

 became so extensive that Major Campbell Brown of Tennessee 

 and others collated and published two volumes of such tests, and 

 later in 1890 the American Jersey Cattle Club took up this work 

 officially. Several thousand records have been published by the 

 club in book form. Many of these records were so high as to cause 

 suspicion of the integrity of the testing, which finally resulted in 

 the club providing for butter-fat tests as well as churn tests, to be 

 supervised by experiment station or agricultural college officials. 

 The following are some of the noteworthy private records :
