TESTED DAiRY ANIMALS PENNSYLVANIA. 275 



The illustration presented is of the noted Jersey cow Adelaide of St. 

 Lambert, a member of the Miller & Sibley herd, at Prospect Hill Stock 

 Farm, Franklin, Pennsylvania, and of whom the gwners write as follows: 

 "For the 31 consecutive days ending June 24, 1898, she gave a total of 

 2,00")] pounds of milk. During this period she was milked three times daily 

 at intervals of eight hours. Every milking was witnessed by at least two 

 persons, and sometimes as many as six persons were present. The cow 

 weighs 1,002 pounds, hence she gave in the month over twice her weight. 

 Her best day for us was 75 pounds, but her best record for her former owner, 

 Mr. Henry Harrison, of Cannington, Province of Ontario, was82f pounds for 

 one day during the month of' May, 1897. She holds the world's Jersey 

 milk record for the period of a day, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks and 

 thirty-one* days. Her sire is Comely's Stoke Pogis 19327 and her dam 

 Princess Minette 24042. Seventy-five per cent, of the blood of Adelaide 

 of St. Lambert is what is known as St. Lambert blood. She is descended 

 from Stoke Pogis 3rd on four different lines and has 31^% of his direct 

 blood. It is worthy of note in passing that all the highest milk records 

 in the Jersey breed have been made by animals of very similar breeding. 

 For a time Ida of St. Lambert held the world's Jersey record. She was a 

 daughter of Stoke Pogis 3rd. La Petite Mere 2nd and Mathilde 4th, who 

 for a time each held the world's Jersey milk record for a year, were both 

 daughters of Stoke Pogis 1259, the sire of Stoke Pogis 3rd and Stoke Pogis 

 5th. A granddaughter of the latter bull, Jimp, holds the world's Jersey 

 milk record for the period of a week. The latter bull also leads all other 

 bulls that ever lived in the number of granddaughters with standard butter 

 tests. We know of 183 and probably there are more. 



"Adelaide of St. Lambert was dropped January 9, 1890. She has an 

 enormous barrel, the largest we ever saw on a Jersey, and naturally a vora- 

 cious appetite and excellent digestion. By the Babcock test she indicated 

 to us at several different times that she was making from 4 to 4J pounds 

 of butter a day. About a year after her great milk yield, when she was not 

 giving nearly so much,, we set her milk by itself for a week and churned it 

 and she made of butter when salted one ounce to the pound and well worked 

 ready for market 21 pounds, 5f ounces. 



"The photograph was made by a local photographer and the plate not 

 retouched. It will be seen that the fore udder is full and symmetrical, 

 teats large and well placed and that the rear udder also rounds out very 

 nicely and comes high up behind."
