Colantha 4th's Johanna holds the world's record for a year for milk. 

 She is a Holstein and gave 27,432.5 pounds of milk and 998 pounds 

 of butter fat. 



The world's champion Jersey is Jacoba Irene, who gave 952 

 pounds and 1 5 ounces 

 of butter fat in one year. 

 Many consider her the 

 greatest dairy cow in the 

 world, for she made high 

 records for three years 

 in succession. 



The champion Guern- 

 sey of the world is Dolly 

 Dimple, who gave 

 906.87 pounds of butter 

 fat in one year when she 

 was but 2! years old. 



Yeksa Sunbeam, a 

 Guernsey, had been the 

 world's champion for 

 some time. She pro- 

 duced 857.15 pounds of 

 butter fat in one year. 



The value of a dairy 

 cow. The following 

 table shows the value of 

 a dairy cow based on 

 production and cost of 



keep. The table is made on the basis of 4 per cent milk; that is, that 

 the milk contains 4 per cent of butter fat. If, after testing the milk, it is 

 found to contain more or less than 4 per cent butter fat, profit may be 

 determined by adding or subtracting the amount of such difference at 

 27 cents per pound.
