 day, 9,892 Ibs. 14 oz. in a year, and 13 Ibs. 1 oz. of butter in a week ; as a four- 

 year-old, 75 Ibs. 9 oz. of milk in a day, 12,997 Ibs. 3 oz. in a year, and 17 Ibs. 3i 

 oz. of butter in a week ; at six years she tested 23 Ibs. 2 oz. by the Babcock test. 

 At seven years she gave 86 Ibs. 11 oz. of milk in a day, and made an " officially 

 authenticated " butter record of 25 Ibs. 12^% oz. in a week, as tested by the 

 dairy department of Cornell Experiment Station, and was awarded the third 

 butter prize of the Holstein-Friesian Association of $48.00 Her lowest amount 

 of butter in one day was 3.585 Ibs., which is higher than the best day's record 

 of any Jersey cow in the Columbian dairy test. Her average butter fat for the 

 week was 4.4 per cent. 



This "official" test fully corroborated all that her owners had ever reported 

 of her as a butter maker. 



Another daughter, Mutual Friend 3d, H. F. H. B. 28389, Advanced Registry 

 No. 1119, was "officially" tested when three years old by Prof. H. H. Wing, of 





PAUL ALBAN DE KOL, No. 210&J H. F. H. B. 



the dairy department of Cornell Experiment Station. Her record was 61 Ibs. 2 

 oz. milk in a day, and 21.84 Ibs. of butter in a week. She was awarded the first 

 butter prize of the Holstein-Friesian Association over all the mature cows 

 competing. Under the rules which governed the tests this record of a three- 

 year-old is equivalent to 28 Ibs. 8.93 oz. in a week for a mature cow, and nearly 

 2 Ibs. more than any other record of that test. Her average per cent of butter 

 fat for the week was 4.27, and her highest was 4.9 per cent. 



Her lowest butter in any day was 3.016 pounds, than which there were only 

 six better records for a day made at Chicago by mature cows. Her record is 1.68 

 Ibs. more than the best week of any mature cow in the Columbian Dairy Test. 

 During that test only eight times was a record made above 3 Ibs. of butter in a 

 day, and yet this three-year-old heifer made over 3 Ibs. every day during the 

 week of her test.
