Live Stock and Dairy 
The World’s Best Cow. 
We have had several letters lately 
from people who ask us to name the cow 
that has the best world’s record on the 
production of milk or fat. Some years 
ago it was easy to answer such a ques¬ 
tion, but the world’s champions are now 
appearing upon the scene so frequently 
that one has to bo careful about state¬ 
ments. We have corresponded with the 
authorities who represent the three lead¬ 
ing breeds of dairy cattle and the latest 
information is here given. 
The American Jersey Cattle Club 
states that the largest butter fat yield 
of the Jersey breed is Sophie 19th of 
Ilood Farm. This cow produced 999.1 
pounds of fat in one year. The largest 
milk record of the Jersey breed is that 
of Eminent’s Bess, this cow having pro¬ 
duced 18,782.9 pounds of milk iu one 
year. The Jersey cattle people believe 
that this record will soon be surpassed 
by another cow. It appears that Sophie 
19th is more than five years old, and in 
producing the amount of fat named 
above she gave 17,557 pounds 12 ounces 
of milk in one year. Another very fine 
cow, Spermfield Owl’s Eva 193934, gave 
10.457 pounds six ounces of milk, which 
contained 999 pounds four ounces of but¬ 
ter fat. 
The American Guernsey Cattle Club 
states that the highest authenticated milk 
yield for a Guernsey is 24,008 pounds of 
milk, which contained 1,098.18 pounds 
of butter fat. This was made by Murne 
Cowan 19597, she being eight years and 
nine months old when the test was com¬ 
pleted. The second best cow among the 
Guernsey appeared to be May Rilma 
22761. This cow, six years and four 
months old, gave 19,073 pounds of milk, 
which contained 1,073.41 pounds of but¬ 
ter fat. 
The Holstein-Friesian Association 
claims the world’s championship record 
for butter for Finderne Pride Johanna 
Rue 121083. This cow gave in 301 con¬ 
secutive days 28,403.7 pounds of milk, 
which contained 1,170.47 pounds of but¬ 
ter fat. This means 13,211 quarts of 
milk, or 30 quarts and four pounds of 
butter per day. Further than this it was 
claimed that this cow, in a seven-day 
test, 358 days after she calved, produced 
002.4 pounds of milk and 28.83 pounds 
of butter fat. These remarkable records 
show how the higher class of dairy stock 
has been improved during the past few 
years. These tests were made under the 
highest authority and are vouched for. 
While these wonderful cattle are pro¬ 
ducing such oceans of milk it may well 
be asked if the ordinary cow back on the 
hillside farm is producing any more milk 
than her grandmother did? 
Notes on Butchering Hogs. 
The Missouri Agricultural College 
gives the following advice as suited to 
that State: 
Butcher bogs at home. 
Give them water but no feed for a day 
before killing. 
Bleed the hog with an eight-inch 
straight-bladed knife. 
Be sure bleeding is done before scald¬ 
ing, or the skin may be left too red. 
A heavy blow with an ax between the 
eyes will stun the animal before sticking. 
The meat may spoil if the animal is 
excited before killing, or the weather is 
warm afterward. 
Scrape as quickly and rapidly as pos¬ 
sible after scalding. The cold carcass 
is hard to scrape well. 
Bleeding will be finished more quickly 
if the animal lies on a steep slope with 
its head down hill. 
Keep the hog moving in the barrel. If 
the animal is left pressed against the 
barrel the hot water cannot get at that 
part of the carcass. 
Scraping is easier if a shovelful of 
hardwood ashes, a lump of lime, some 
concentrated lye, or a handful of soft 
soap has been added to the water. 
Use a thermometer. Do not attempt 
to scald with the water at above 150 de¬ 
gree's. A good scald can be obtained at 
140 degrees, but it takes longer. 
In opening the carcass, split the pelvic 
bone between the hams with a knife by 
cutting exactly in the center. To open 
the breastbone with a knife cut a little to 
one side of the center, but do not let the 
point of the knife get behind a rib. 
Boston Meat and Poultry Prices. 
Brighton market is fairly well supplied 
with both beef cattle and milch cows, yet 
sales in both classes are somewhat dull. 
Average quality milch cows bring about 
$75 each, farrow and milked-out stock 
averages about $40 each. The few fancy 
best quality heavy milkers sell at 8100 
to $120 each. Best grades of beef cattle, 
live weight, sold around 8c. per lb.; 
others of fair quality at farm, 6c. to 7c. 
per lb.; poor grades, bolognas, etc.. 3c. to 
5c. Best fancy veal calves bring lOt^c., 
but most sales of veals are nearer 7^” to 
■>V 2 - Five hogs, 7 V 2 to S^c. per lb., "and 
in liberal supply. Live poultry in good 
demand with prices around 15 and IGc. 
per lb. 
Dressed beef, best quality, 14c. per lb. 
Medium grades, 9*4 to 13c. Best veal, 
17c.; good, 13 to 15c. Lamb, 12 l A to 
15c.; hogs, 10c. 
Large plump fowls go at slightly un¬ 
der 20c. per lb.; medium stock, 14 to 18. 
Fancy native broiler chickens up to 24; 
good nearby and Western stock. 20 and 
22; good roasting chickens, 18 to 22. 
Turkeys, best northern. 25 to 28c. Good 
western. 23 and 24; ducks, 17 to IS; 
geese, 20c. or better. 
Butter still in large supply and. still 
coming reasonably fast for season, with 
prices inclined slightly lower. Statements 
of November 1st claim about 23.000,000 
pounds above last year’s supply for same 
date. October showed about the same 
figures, which shows the supply still holds 
good. A very little is now exported, but 
not enough to affect the market any. 
Cheese sells at 15 to 18%, with good 
supplies on hand and exports fair but not 
heavy. Butter prices range from 33 down 
to 27c., with many sales around 30c. or 
less. 
Best fresh eggs wanted and supply 
short; they sell up to 00c. per dozen. 
I’lenty of medium grades on hand, mostly 
Western stock on which prices range from 
35 to 55c. 
Best horse hay well up in price, $26 
a nd $27 per ton; good and fair stock, 
$20 to $24 per ton. Lower prices on 
grain is the rumor, but are not much in 
evidence as yet. Cornmeal, $1.50 per 
bag; oats, 43 to 46c. per bush.; mixed 
feed, $26 to $28 per ton ; cottonseed, $3(5 
and $37 per ton; gluten, $27.50; linseed, 
$40. 
The horse market has taken a pace and 
demand is very good at satisfactory prices 
all round. Heavyweights in best de¬ 
mand, but others wanted also. The for¬ 
mer being around $400 each; medium 
weights, $250 and $300 each; others 
from $100 to $175. a. e. p. 
Buffalo Markets. 
Apples are bringing good prices and 
the quality is much better than usual. 
Reds wholesale at $3 to $4.50 per bbl. 
and greens at 50 cents less for firsts. 
The pear crop is not very satisfactory. 
A few Ivieffers are going at $1 to $1.75 
per bbl. Plums are low and about gone. 
Grapes are plenty and low, 8-lb. baskets 
wholesaling at 14 to 19 cents. 
Potatoes are firmer, but the wholesale 
price is not above 85 cents a bushel. Re¬ 
tailers sell sweet potatoes at 25 cents a 
l»eck, just as they do white potatoes. 
Beans are firm at $4 for Marrows and 
Bed Kidneys, with others slightly lower. 
The local crop is very light. Onions are 
85 cents down per bushel, with a few 
California yellow bringing $1. The crop 
is plenty and good. 
Butter is firm and a little higher, prices 
ranging from 32 cents for fancy, to 22 
for ordinary crocks; process, 25 cents. 
Cheese remains steady at 17 cents for 
daisies and 12 cents for common. Eggs 
remain scarce and firm at 48 cents for 
fancy, to 26 cents for storage. Most re¬ 
tailers do not ask more than 31 cents. A 
good grade of storage appears to be used 
mainly, 
Poultry-is fairly firm, with turkey ad¬ 
vancing as the holiday season approaches, 
selling dressed at 25 cents, with fowl 17 
cents for fancy and old roosters, 13 cents. 
Ducks are 17 to 20 cents. Frozen poul¬ 
try is no longer quoted and live is four 
cents lower for turkey and three cents for 
fowl than dressed poultry. 
Hay is not so high, selling at $20 to 
$21 for choice Timothy and $2 less for 
each lower grade. Rye straw is $9.

Y OUR HERD should average at 
least 500 lbs. of butter fat per 
year. A good Jersey herd will 
do even better—600 lbs. per year, and 
the butter will be of the finest flavor, 
texture and color. There are many 
individuals of this breed producing 
1100 lbs. They make good use of 
every ounce of feed, do not require 
fancy feeding, mature early, thrive 
in any climate, are steady producers, 
are beautiful and gentle. 1 hey pay

The Ideal Dairy Feed 
Throe T) Grains are rich in the protein and fat 
so necessary for milk cows. The average cow 
is starving for protein and fat. Feed Three D 
Grains a few days and watch the milk flow in¬ 
crease. It increases profit 10c. to 25c. per 
d'ny for each cow in most cases. 
Three D Grains is light, bulky and easily 
digested, 80% to 85% digestible matter, little 
waste matter. Safe to feed in any quantity 
for long periods. Palatable-cows do not tire of 
It. It does not harm the cows, milk or butter. 
For cows, beef cattle, sheep, its value ■ is 
greater than C. S. Meal, and it usually sells at 
a higher price, but it now costs $4.00 to $8.00 
per ton less, owing to the short crop of C. S. 
Menl. It is the cheapest high protein concen¬ 
trate. Equally good results with ensilage or all 
dry feeds. 
There Is no “just as good” brand. Insist 
upon Three 1) Grains, and make more money. 
If your dealer will not supply you, write 
direct for prices, by the ton, car, or in mixed 
cars with Mill-Feeds, Oil Meal, Gluten Feed, etc.
