50 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I916. 



From these tables it is evident that the animals stand in the 

 following order : 



Mollie's Bessie, No. i, was the winner with 12.89 ^s. fat in 

 7 days; average fat percentage 5. 11 per cent. The sire of this 

 heifer, Daisy's Pogis of Meadow Farm (98184) was the winner 

 of the American Jersey Cattle Club Cup. 



Kellen of Oak Knoll, No. 3, is second with 10.21 lbs. of fat; 

 average fat percentage 4.75 per cent. 



Miss Stella Pogis, No. 4, is third with 9.85 lbs. of fat; 

 average fat percentage 5.41 per cent. 



Daisy, No. 2, is fourth with 8.94 lbs. of fat; average fat per- 

 centage 5.48 per cent. 



While none of the records made in this Test were extraordi- 

 narily high, yet they are very creditable performance records all 

 things considered. Ten and one-half pounds of butter fat in 7 

 days produced by a two-year old heifer three months along in 

 lactation, while not phenomenal, is good.
