THE RICHEST MILK. 
11 hat is tlic highest per cent of fat in 
normal milk of which you have an 
official record? 
The richest milk which has come un¬ 
der our observation is an unpublished 
case now on hand, viz., Oak DeKol 
(H.-F. H. B.) 51207, owner S. B. Jones 
& Son, Watertown, Wisconsin. This 
animal, on April 6, gave 21.4 pounds of 
milk containing 8.48 per cent of fat.

In our fifth annual report, pages 112- 
113, are given statements concerning the 
milk of a registered Jersey cow, Daisy 
Hanmer, owned by the Station. The 
milk of this cow was of such an un¬ 
usual character that during the three 
months prior to her drying off in the 
Winter of 1891-92 very frequent anal¬ 
yses were made of her milk. Through¬ 
out December sbe was giving from eight 
to 10 pounds to a milking. Sixteen sin¬ 
gle samples of milking during this time 
carried from 6.52 to 8.40 per cent fat. 
By Washington’s Birthday she had 
shrunk so that she was giving but about 
three pounds to a milking. From that 
time until March 14 every milking was 
tested, the lowest test being 8.45 per 
cent, the highest 14.67 per cent. But 
thrice did she fall below nine per cent 
of fat in this period. It was said con- 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER

from which to quote. It is needless to 
say that it was just before the cow went 
dry, and the quantity of

THE GREAT IMPORTING ESTABLISHMENT OF 
COL. G. W. CRAWFORD, 
now offers to the interested public, at astonishingly low prices, 
several teams of extra good draft geldings, blacks, greys, bays and 
chestnuts, suitable lor brewery or fire-department, or express uses. 
Also several grand teams of Belgian and Percheron mares imported, 
from Europe oil April 27, 1908. These mares are of the choicest 
quality that can be procured in the "Old Country,” being the low 
down, broad out drafty models. And last but not least, the Col. 
has to offer some Belgian and Percheron stallions of most superior 
quality. These horses are not only blue ribbon winners but good 
breeders and that is the most essential thing to the farmers. In 
order to close these out to make room for another Importation, 
there will be many bargains offered of which you should avail your¬ 
self. Communicate with

A FINE HOLSTEIN. 
Tlic picture at Fig. 223 shows the young

No. 48358, born May 29, 1907, owned by 
The Stevens Brofhers-IIastings Co., proprie¬ 
tors of Brookside Herd, Liverpool. N. Y. 
This animal has been consigned by them to 
the public sale to be held June 4-5 at Syra¬ 
cuse, N. Y. King Segis Pontiac Pietertje 
was sired by King Segis, whose three near¬ 
est dams have official seven-day butter re¬ 
cords of 28.98, 28 and 29.36 pounds. The 
daughters of King Segis are just commenc¬ 
ing to come in milk and several have made 
official seven-day butter records of about 
20 pounds each as junior two-year-olds. All 
that have come in milk average better (ban 
19 pounds each. The dam of King Segis 
Pontiac Pielertje is Pontiac Pietertje 
Princess. Coming in milk at two years, 
two months and four days old, she made 
last .Tune an official record of 335 pounds 
of milk and 18.15 pounds of butter in 
seven days, her milk for the week averag¬ 
ing 4.33 pounds of fat. Her dam, Pontiac 
Clothilda Hengerveld, has an official record 
of something over 22 pounds of butter in 
seven days, and is full sister to the dam of 
Pontiac Rag Apple and Pontiac Clothilda

corning the last milking, which con¬ 
sisted of but eight ounces of milk, that 
it “had the enormous amount of 28.43 
per cent total solids.” The full anal¬ 
ysis w r as:

Fat. 14.67 
Solids not fat. 13.76 
Casein and albumen. 9.98 
Ash. 1.44 
Sugar, by difference. 2.33 
This milk is remarkable for the small 
amount of milk sugar, the high amount 
of albuminoids and ash and the exces¬ 
sively large amount of fat. This, with 
some other milkings of the same cow, 
is probably the only milk analysis on 
record in which the fat is more than the 
solids not fat. This work was done by 
myself, and I am certain of its accu¬ 
racy. j. L. HILLS. 
Vermont Experiment Station. 
Some Fine Pennsylvania Guernseys. 
I have looked over our records of 
official tests, which we have been super¬ 
vising for the Guernsey, Jersey and Ayr¬ 
shire Breeders’ Associations. From these 
I have selected the following exception¬ 
ally high tests. These were all made 
when the cows were far along in the 
period of lactation. You will recall that 
in these official tests the Experiment 
Station sends out representatives one or 
two days each month in the year to 
weigh, sample and test the milk from 
each cow. These are figures taken from 
these one or two-day tests. I recall 
having made some tests in which the 
per cent of fat has run even higher than 
these, once or twice going over 10 per 
DeKol 2d. The former will be remembered 
as the 31-pound four-year-old that was sold 
for $8,000 a little over a year ago, aud the 
latter has recently made an official record, 
in her four-year-old form, of 28.72 pounds 
of butter in seven days. The official seven- 
day butter records of these two four-year- 
old full sisters average over 30 pounds 
each, which can he said of no other two full 
sisters of the breed. 
HIGH PRICE FOR BROILERS. 
There are statements made that strictly 
milk-fed chickens bring 45 cents per pound. 
Can you put me into the hands of any com¬ 
mission house that will realize this for me? 
M. B. 
Extra choice broilers sometimes bring 
these prices, but we know no commis¬ 
sion house that could safely guarantee 
such a price any length of time in ad¬ 
vance. A live and honest commission 
man in any of the larger markets will 
get all that the poultry is worth at the 
time received. Those living near high- 
priced Summer resorts or large hotels 
are sometimes able to get 50 cents per 
pound or more for their best broilers. 
We know that this has been done at 
Newport, R. I. But such figures cannot 
be considered a general market price 
and can be had only through special 
arrangements.
