THE CREAMERY PATRON S HANDBOOK. 



She was purchased from him a few weeks before dropping her calf, and 

 during the first part of the year she gave every evidence of being very 

 homesick, which in all probability was responsible for her record not 

 being much higher. As will be seen from the photograph, she repre- 

 sents a good type of the up-to-date Shorthorn breeding cow. She traces 

 directly to imported stock and is the dam and granddam of many choice 

 cows and heifers owned by Mr. Little. 



Production. During the milking period of 338 days she gave 7,833 

 Ibs. of milk which contained 295.84 Ibs. of fat, or 343.44 pounds of but- 

 ter. The average amount of butter fat in her milk for the year was 4.0 per 

 cent. 



Profit. Her feed for the year cost $38.19 cents, being the second 

 largest feed account in the herd, which is no doubt attributable to the poor 

 condition of her teeth at twelve years of age. Her butter and skim milk 

 products were valued at $79.25, leaving a profit of $41.06. 



ROSE GRADE SHORTHORN. 



Rose was bred by the pure-bred Shorthorn bull General Ely of -Oakland 

 17th 107,946. The dam of this bull was Oxford Bloom 7th of Oakland, 

 a cow that won first prize in her class some years ago with strong com- 

 petition at the Minnesota State Fair and at the Wisconsin State Fair two
