I42 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
This cow gave in seven days 243.9 pounds of milk and 13.0647 
pounds of fat, equivalent to 15.37 pounds of butter. This 
record is of particular interest because it was made two weeks 
after an attack of milk fever, which was treated by the injec- 
tion of oxygen into the udder by our veterinarian, Dr. 
Lehnert. Butterfly Maid was 11 years and 5 months old, and 
weighed about 950 pounds. She was fed daily during this 
trial nine pounds of grain, consisting of four parts bran and 
one of cotton seed meal, and about 100 pounds of green hay. 
The cow was milked and cared for during the test by one of 
our students, Mr. F. G. Comins, and great credit is due the 
latter for conditioning this cow for the test.
