a year. At five years she gave 78 Ibs. 5 oz. of milk in a day, 2,137 Ibs. in thirty 

 days and was "officially" tested for butter by the Dairy Department of Cornell 

 Experiment Station, making a record of 22 Ibs. 5.7G oz. of butter in one week. 



It must be borne in mind that these "officially authenticated" butter tests 

 are as reliable and accurate as any trotting record made upon a public track, 

 and are made entirely under the personal supervision of a representative of 

 the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, who spends the entire 

 week making the tests at the home of the cows. 



' These are all of the family which have yet come in milk.

This is a family, few in numbers, which has come into prominence during
