WORLD’S BEST, 1070 LB,
(By producing 1070.481 b. of but-ter-fat, equivalent to 12601 b. of butter, in 278 days, the Jersey cow, Jersey Surprise, owned by Mi*. H. S. Mountain, Grooimibridge Place, Kent, has established a world’s Jersey butter*-fat record in the 305 days’ test. Calving on November 25, 1927, she yielded in slightly over 9 months 13,6661 b. of millk, with an average butter-fat percentage of 7.83. Despite the fact that she was in calf again by the middle of February, and calved again on November 22, she milked steadily, averaging almost live gallons daily over the whole period, and it was only with difficulty that she was dried oft' in order to give her some rest before calving again. Her highest yield was under six gallons in the day, and her highest butter-fat test was 12 per cent. S ; he is still a young cow, having been born on May, 27, 1922.
