 Duke 9th 89,384, and is represented as being a very typical Shorthorn bull, 

 his sire being Sharon Duke of Geneva 64,454, and his dam 7th Profitable

 was a common scrub or native cow with no pretensions to a high type of 

 dairy form or performance.

 days, she gave 11,131.7 Ibs. of milk, containing 500 Ibs. of butter fat or 

 its equivalent of 584.09 Ibs. of butter. The average percentage of fat in 

 her milk for the period was 4.7 per cent.

 total value of butter and skim milk was $131.83, leaving a profit over cost 

 of feed of $92.23. Her butter, produced at a cost of 6.7 per pound, is cheaper
