The Netherland family was one of the earliest of the breed to make a 

 reputation for the production of butter. 



Among the early importations made by Smiths & Powell Co. was the cow 

 Netherland Queen, then rising two years old, and which, commencing at that 

 age, surpassed all former records, by giving 13,574 Ibs. 3 oz. of milk in a year. 

 She gave 58 Ibs. 12 oz. in a day. 



Her trial for butter disclosed the fact that her milk was of very superior 

 quality, and as a four-year-old she made a butter record of 20 Ibs. in a week. 



These gentlemen then returned to Holland, with a view of making further 

 tests of the quality of the milk of these cows, which proved to be very satis- 

 factory, and they then went to work systematically to secure all the cows of 

 that family to be found in Holland. 



Lady Netherland, the dam of Netherland Queen, was bought, and soon 

 gave birth to what was afterwards the famous bull Netherland Prince, 7-6. 

 Netherland Dowager, the grandam of Netherland Prince, was also bought. 

 Several sisters and half sisters to Netherland Queen were then imported, all of 

 which made very large butter records, some of them surpassing anything pre- 

 viously done by the breed. 



The daughters of Netherland Prince proved to be remarkably rich milkers. 

 Eight of his daughters, one two-year-old, five three-year-old, one four-year-old, 

 and one five-year-old, made butter records which averaged 20 Ibs. 3 oz. in a 

 week, averaging 1 Ib. of butter from 17.28 Ibs. of milk.
