cattle In this country have made most
amazing records. Some have reached
seventy pounds of milk per day and
from eighteen to twenty-two pounds
of butter per week. Tlielr average
butter fat record test Is 4*ier cent. The
writer observed one cow In this partic-
ular herd that with an average butter
fat test of 3H DCC cent produced a flow
of tnllk of slxt^uve pounds pe~r day.
Tbe Brown Swiss Brjnz nfter having
won the first medal at the Paris expo-
sition In quantity and qAhfity of milk
»vcr all breed* competed with the fa-
lty>us Shorthorns of Eniland, the Hol-
stein* of Holland as well ns the Oban-
nel Island breeds.
Tha. calves of these cattle denote
great Ufa and vitality, weighing many
times at birth 125 pounds. The writer
also' observed one calf only three and a
half months old tipping the scales fit
400 pounds. They are of u light steel
gray color when young, but darken to
a fawn color as they gradually reach
maturity. For veal growing they build
flesh quite as eusily ns tbe Jersey, but
average a large size when born. Increas-
ing their value many times In that
branch of he dally Industry.
