Whitlingham. Her 2d calf was born on April 23d, 1888; milk yield, 

 9,103 lb.; then on May 4th, 1889, her 3d calf. And she had given 

 12,253 lb. milk when, on May 25th, 1890, she was exported to Amer- 

 ica while yet her week's yield was 157 lb. The results of a test of 

 her milk, taken on three consceutive days in 1888, when she was on 

 grass feed only, will be set forth in the section of this essay which 

 relates to butter production. 5367 Coronet 2d was Coronet's 3d calf, 

 and was sired by lago 1025. After her 2d calf and during part of 

 the next year she was set apart for a special purpose, and as the 

 milk was taken from the farm only a portion of each day's return 

 was weighed and entered on the record sheets, to be copied into the 

 carefully kept farm accounts. The record shows that she thence- 

 forward gave a total yield of 29,956y 2 lb. milk in 1,461 days, with 

 a 3.5 per cent butter fat content when on grass feed. Her maximum 

 yield of milk, after 4th calf, 8,770% lb. in 354 days. This Coronet's 

 3d calf was Corporal 4313, whose sire was Red Prince 2902, and 

 its dam a Tl cow. The record of 5367 Coronet 2d's 6th calf, 14723 

 Coronet 3d, sired by Redmond 5147, was: 1st c. 9,963% lb. yield 

 in 539 days, then a 59 days' rest, and a further yield of 8,052% lb., 

 and one of 8,022% lb., in the year 1904. Then she was sold. Her 

 4th calf was born on January 28th, 1905, and the milk record 

 after purchase and a railway journey to Tring Park From April 12 

 to September 30, 1908, was 11,112 lb. in 632 days, followed by 8,378 

 lb. in 252 days after the 5th calf. The cow as is told in a previous 

 page, is yet doing its part in Wexford County, and has there given 

 birth to both bulls and heifers. To return to Coronet 2d's story, 

 as shown by Corporal 4313. He was the sire in Wisconsin of [24888] 

 Pear K25, whose good record is given in a previous page, while 

 her yet more noteworthy daughter [28991] J. D. L. Pear, has two 

 successive years' record of 13160.6 lb. milk and 16598.4 lb. milk; for 

 the two years, 1253.58 lb. butter fat, estimated butter 1566.97 lb. 

 One of Corporal's sons there are no fewer than 40 making a repu- 

 tation in the United States was Proctor Knott [12092], whose gr.- 

 dam, 1738 Polly 2d Ell, was bred by Mr. W. B. Easter at Stockton. 

 This Proctor Knott sired [31725] J. D. L. Beauty W2, which has 

 won for herself a world-wide notoriety (the details are set out in 

 the Butter Production section of this essay), and [31729] J. D. L. 

 Latona B20, which has a year's record of 11053.6 lb. milk, 423.37 lb. 

 butter fat. 



On another line of Ell breeding, [40629], J. D. L. Purity Ell, 

 which was born January 10, 1914, was junior champion at Montana 

 State Fair in 1915. Her sire was Ruperta's Goods [19226], live 

 weight 2,250 lb. J. D. L. Purity having dropped her first calf in 

 April, 1916, began her Advanced Registry test; her live weight 1,230 

 lb. When four months in milk she entered contest at Janesville, 

 Wisconsin, as two-year-old heifer, having then to her credit 200 lb. 

 butter fat, milking twice a day; won the grand champion female 

 honor, and competing in the two-days dairy contest, with fresh Jer- 

 sey and Guernsey cows, won third place. 



Another development of ,the present day Red Polled is seen in 

 its betterment in an environment much superior to that which in 

 East Anglia affects the produce of the soil no less than the live stock 

 thereon. Many a detail is to be found in the transcript of "Progres- 

 sive Milk Inheritance,' 7 where full particulars are given of Red 

 Polled cows bred in East Anglia and sent thence to Lord Rothschild's
