THE HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN 375 



The Johanna family has its foundation in the cow Johanna 

 344 H. H. B. She was brought to America from Holland by 

 Gerrit S. Miller of New York. At ten years of age she produced 

 88 pounds of milk in a day and 2407^ pounds in a month. She 

 was purchased by Gillettand Son of Wisconsin in her ten-year form. 

 Through her daughters Johanna 4th 2129 and Johanna 5th 9343 

 this family made a strong producing record. The blood of the 

 Johanna family in Mr. Gillett's herd mingled to great advantage 

 with the Colantha family; and Colantha 4th's Johanna 48577, 

 long the world's-record cow in yearly butter-fat production 

 (998.26 pounds), was of the Johanna family on the sire's side and 

 a granddaughter of Colantha 6714 H. H. B. on the dam's side. 

 Colantha Johanna Lad 32481, with 106 A. R. O. daughters, is 

 a son of Colantha 4th's Johanna. Sir Johanna DeKol 25467, 

 with 35 A. R. O. daughters (including Johanna DeKol Van 

 Beers 75131, with a 40.1 pounds A. R. O. record), is by 

 Sir Johanna 23446, sire of Colantha 4th's Johanna. 



The Korndyke family descends from Belle Korndyke 139 13, 

 calved in 1888 and bred by S. H. Blanchard of New York. 

 When eleven years old she made an A. R. O. record of 25.77 

 pounds of butter in seven days. She and her daughter Korndyke 

 Queen 40580 were purchased by Henry Stevens and Son of 

 New York, in whose hands this family became famous. Between 

 1890 and 1906 Belle Korndyke dropped eleven calves, six of 

 which were sons. From these sons and daughters came a large 

 number of A. R. O. sons and daughters. Her daughter Belle 

 DeKol 1 391 3 is the dam of Pontiac Korndyke 25982, sire of 139 

 A. R. O. daughters, and also of King of the Pontiacs 39037, with 

 204 A. R. O. daughters to his credit and 1 13 A. R. O. sons, the 

 premier sire of the breed. In 1908 Stevens Brothers- Hastings 

 Company wrote ^ of Pontiac Korndyke : " The cross formed by mat- 

 ing this bull with the daughters of Hengerveld DeKol seems to 

 be an especially fortunate one, and is producing some of the 

 best record heifers ever officially tested." Pontiac Korndyke is 

 sire of Pontiac Clothilde DeKol 2d 69991, with a year's record 

 of 1 27 1. 6 pounds butter, and of Pontiac Rag Apple 56980, with a 

 record of 31.62 pounds butter in seven days, noted also as selling
