ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 1 89 



A : — First period 450 pounds, next period something over 

 600 pounds. 



Dot here has nine months record and produced 5,554 milk, 

 343.90 pounds finished butter. 



Trilby has a history, in fact all our cows have histories. 

 The first year that I took charge of this herd of cattle, a gentle- 

 man came to me and said he had a Jersey heifer, a yearling, and 

 wanted to sell her. He wanted a cow that would produce a 

 $20.00 calf, so I went and looked at her and bought her for 

 $35.00. He told a neighbor that "That Cobb was a sucker, he 

 gave me $35.00 for that heifer." The first time Trilby was fresh 

 she made a record of 14 pounds butter in 7 days. A year's record 

 was $104.00 worth of butter at wholesale prices. We sold our 

 butter at wholesale. 



Q: — What price? 



A: — 25 cents a pound. 



We had the skim milk left and heifer calf outside of this, 

 and my friend I bought her from had a $20.00 calf left. 



Trilby has a record as a four year old of 10 months, 7,648 

 pounds milk testing 5 per cent, 430.76 pounds of butter against a 

 $20.00 calf. 



Aggie has figures here for 7 months 4.9 per cent fat, 4,355 

 pounds milk, 249 pounds butter, and Aggie was giving 21 pounds 

 of milk and it takes 15 pounds of her milk to make a pound of 

 butter. 



DoUie made 15 pounds of butter in 7 days for us as a four 

 year old. We have had her for 10 months. In that 10 months 

 she made 9,775 pounds milk testing 5.2 per cent fat, 594.54 

 pounds butter. Mr. Latimer raised this cow to a yearling, which 

 doesn't seem to have hurt the cow's record at alL 



Magnolia has been giving 17 pounds milk daily in January, 

 and tested 5 per cent, gave 5,540 pounds in 8 months and SWjA 

 pounds butter. 



Fay is still giving milk 10 months 6,008 pounds milk, 366.18 

 pounds butter. Why I say butter so much is because I expect 

 to get cows after a while to make more.
