WORLD'S DAIRY RECORDS
| e "Hoard's Dairyman" states that a Guernsey cow has established a new world's record for butter-fat produced in one year, and in th-a Holstem breed there is a t'hree-year-old junior heifer that will (according to reports) not only break the world's record for her class, but will also exceed the highest butter-fat yield regardless of age. In view of these great records, one by a Guernsey and one by a Holstein, people might think that the Jersey has been loft in the rear as far as leading records are concerned; but, upon looking over the list of leading cows in each age classj we find that, as the record of the Jersey heifer, Lass 66th of Hood Farm, replaces that of the Guernsey •heifer, Dolly Dimple, as the world's champion three-year-old _ senior, the Jersey breed holds the highest records in four of the eight classes. The following Jerseys are leading the world: — Lucky Farce 298177, with 14,2601b5. milk, 6361b5. • butter-fat, at ono year oleven months of age, leads the yearlings. Pearly Exile of St Lambert 205101, with 12,3161b5. milk, 8161bs. butterfat, heads the junior two-year-olds. Lass 66th of Hood Farm, 271896, with 17,7!)41b5. milk, 9101bs. butter-fat, is world's champion three-year-old senior. Olympiads Fern 252060, with 16.148 lbs. of milk, 9371b5. hutter-iat, leads the four-year-old seniors. > The honours in the other four classes are divided equally between the Guernseys and Holsteins, each holding two records. A Guernsey cow leads the mature cow class and the junior three-year-old class, while black and whites head the remaining two classes. Franz Latuscher, aged five, and Karl Hemme, aged six, were found unconscious in the commissariat van of a German military train, where they had concealed themselves, as they subsequently stated, in order to go to the 1 front and see the fighting. Thore are 670,000 miles of railway in the world. For Bronchial Coughs and Cold«, Wood 1 Great Peppermint CLuro, Ift, Bdi L
