WAYNE FAMILY. 



This remarkable family of Holstein-Friesians is descended from Queen of 

 Wayne, H. H. B. 955, Advanced Register No. 1, selected personally by Mr. 

 T. G. Yeomans, in Holland in 1879, as the best cow of the breed he was able to 

 find regardless of price. This family is, by many breeders, considered co-equal 

 with the Aaggie. It is not large, sprung as it is from one cow, but what it 

 lacks in numbers it more than makes up in quality. Highest merit has always 

 been the characteristic of the animals with this strain in their veins. We know 

 of no cow which has excelled her in transmitting to her descendants her capac-

 vigorous and symmetrical animals. 



Queen of Wayne gave 75| Ibs. of milk in a day, 14,506i Ibs. in ten months, 

 dropping her next calf within one year. When eleven years old, and after the 

 loss of one-quarter of her udder, she made l?i Ibs. of thoroughly worked butter 

 in one week, 50 Ibs. 2 oz. in twenty-one days, made by churning the cream 

 bv the Cooley process. 



Her daughter. Princess of Wayne, H. H. B. 954, Advanced Register No. 2, 

 was the worthy offspring of so remarkable a dam. She gave in her two-year-
