A day or so ago an acquaintance and holder of the world’s record, having 
I f got + J nt ? a dispute as to which breed quite sufficient to do in compiling our 
of cattle held the butter record. Mould „„ „ ? 
you furnish us with the name of the breed °, n records, w Inch, as far. as we know, 
stand unchallenged. AVe recognize that 
there are cows of other breeds which 
have made good records, but, as inti¬ 
mated, we make no examination in re¬ 
gard to their authenticity or correctness. 
R. M. GOW. 
American Jersey Cattle Club. 
R. N.-Y.—From the “Register of 
Merit” printed by the American Jersey 
Cattle Club we find that the cow Jacoba 
Irene 146443 has a record of 1,121.2 
pounds of butter in one year. We un¬ 
derstand that this record is obtained by 
considering the butter fat produced by 
the cow as 85 per cent, of the butter. 
Thus, to compare the record with that 
and cow which holds the butter record and 
also the record made? In addition we 
would like to know the name of the cow 
and the butter record of the Holsteins and 
Jerseys. x. h. b. 
New York. 
I notice the recent comments on the 
Jersey-IIolstcin cross. Recently we pur¬ 
chased a farm and a cow was ‘thrown in.” 
She is eight years old and was bred from 
a registered Jersey on one side and a reg¬ 
istered Holstein on the other. After milk¬ 
ing for a few days we began to realize 
that we owned a remarkably good cow. 
We had the milk tested and found that it 
was about 8.25. Isn't this a remarkable 
record? She is coming in some time in 
the early Summer. She is making at pres¬ 
ent about 10 to 11 pounds of butter per 
week. Can you tell me what the world’s 
record test is? j. e. w. 
New Hampshire.

R. N.-Y.—It is a remarkable record, t™ 
if this was an accurate test and the milk 
really showed 8.25 per cent, of butter 
fat. We should want to be very sure 
of that test. As for the “world’s rec¬ 
ord,” the following claims are made. 
We wrote the secretaries of the three 
leading dairy cattle breeders’ associations 
and asked them to name the champion: 
The Claims for Guernseys. 
The American Guernsey Cattle Club 
does not do any short time work, be¬ 
lieving that only by a complete year’s 
work can a just estimate be placed on 
the normal production of the cow. We 
hear constantly in the agricultural press 
of world’s records, and of new ones 
having been made continually. There 
are varied conditions under which rec¬ 
ords are made, that is, they may claim 
a world’s record inside breed lines, or it 
may be for a week or a month, as a 
two, three or five-year-old, etc., hence 
it is necessary to consider the conditions 
before making such a broad statement 
as that such a cow holds the world’s 
record. We are enclosing a list of the 
leaders in the various classes in our Ad¬ 
vanced Register, from which you will 
be able to determine which is the best. 
You will note that in giving records the 
Guernsey Club refers to butter fat only, 
considering this the true basis for de¬ 
is estimated Jacoba Irene made about 
953 pounds of butter fat. 
Contagious Ophthalmia. 
I had a little trouble with my cow’s 
eyes last Summer. A cow would have 
little white dot in the middle of her eye; 
it would grow larger till she was blind. She 
would have it for about six weeks, then It 
would go away again. Nearly my whole 
herd had it, but they all got better. Can 
you tell what it was? j. a. k. 
Pennsylvania. 
This is a germ disease and to get rid of 
it you will have to cleanse, disinfect and 
whitewash the premises occupied by affected 
cattle. Treat by washing affected^ eye once 
or twice daily with a 10 per cent, solution 
of boric acid and each other day dust eye 
balls with a mixture of equal parts of 
finely powdered calomel and boric acid.

Possible Farcy. 
I have a four-year-old horse that has a 
swelling on his leg between his ankle 
and hock on the outside. There seem to be 
hard bunches in the flesh. It swells more 
when standing in the barn than when 
he works. I suppose the horse got hurt 
some way. but do not know how. Can 
you tell me anything that can be done 
for the swelling? H. f. p. 
As the symptoms described may indicate 
farcy, the skin form of glanders, we would 
not feel justified in prescribing treatment. 
It would be best to have the horse exam¬ 
ined by a veterinarian. If it transpires 
that the enlargements involve the tendons 
termining the actual yield, as all dairy- onl £ , and a £ e ,.S 0 J “farcy buds” blistering

men know that butter is a variable 
quantity, depending to a certain extent 
upon the amount of salt and water add¬ 
ed, and as this percentage varies and 
might be confusing, we believe it is 
more accurate to give the amount of 
real butter fat. w. H. Caldwell 
American Guernsey Cattle Club. 
R. N.-Y.—From the list it appears 
that the Guernsey cow Spotswood Daisy 
Pearl 17696, aged seven years and five 
months, gave in one year 18,602.20 
pounds of milk. The milk tested 5.15 
per cent butter fat, and the cow is cred¬ 
ited with 957.38 pounds of butter in the 
year. Another Guernsey, Dairymaid of 
Pinehurst, at four years and eight 
months, gave in one year 17,285.30 
pounds of milk, or 910.67 pounds of 
butter. Still another, Dolly Dimple 
19144, at three years and nine months, 
gave 18,458.80 pounds milk, or 906.89 
pounds of butter. 
Holstein-Friesian Record. 
Referring to your favor, there can be 
no possible dispute as to which cows 
have precedence in the matter of produc¬ 
tion of milk and fat for the periods of 
one week, one month, or one year; as 
all this data is common property, since 
the tests are made under the careful 
supervision of our State Agricultural 
colleges. I am enclosing a small pam¬ 
phlet entitled “Some Results Attained,” 
the same being brought down to Octo¬ 
ber 1, 1912. From this pamphlet you 
will see that Valdessa Scott 2d holds 
the world’s record for seven and 30-day 
periods, although she is closely followed 
by other cows. You will also see that 
the world’s record 'for 365 days is held 
by Banostine Belle De Kol, and that the 
Holstein-Friesian Association can show 
four cows that stand ahead of any other 
cow in any breed in butter-fat produc¬ 
tion for one year. m. h. Gardner.

Imperfect Circulation. 
Whenever mare grazes or is fed in low 
trough there is swelling around the jaws 
under the “swallow” which lasts a couple 
of hours. Is it serious, and what can be 
done for it? w. H. w. 
( North Carolina. 
Imperfect circulation of the blood might 
give rise to this dropsical condition of the 
tissues under the jaw and about throat; 
or there may be same fault in the flow of 
saliva through the salivary ducts. Appar¬ 
ently it is not a serious condition; but in 
time any weak condition of the heart is apt 
to prove serious. Without an examination 
of the animal we cannot give a very con¬ 
fident opinion in this matter. a. s. a. 
Tail Rubbing. 
I have three young horses that rub their 
tails and mane; it is something like the 
mange. They do most rubbing in the Sum¬ 
mer months. Is there any cure for it? 
Pennsylvania. ' w. l. 
Clip the horses in Spring and do not 
feed corn in hot weather. Green grass 
sometimes brings on Summer itchiness of 
skin. Rid the horses of worms by giving 
the powders so often prescribed here. Wash 
root of tail clean and when dry pour on 
and rub in a little of a mixture of equal 
parts of kerosene and machine oil and re¬ 
peat as often as found necessary. If 
small pin worms are seen in the droppings 
they inhabit the rectum and must be de¬ 
stroyed by injecting into the rectum two 
or three nights a week a few quarts of 
warm soapy water containing a cupful of 
tobacco decoction made by steeping tobacco 
stems or leaves in boiling water and allow¬ 
ing to stand covered for 12 hours.
