A WORLD’S RECORD.

JERSEY COW’S MILKING. Wl-lANGAREI, Friday. Viviandiere, tlie Jersey cow owned by Mr Alex- Christie, of Tanekaka, Hikurangi, 'has .just completed the test by which she has established a new world’s recordh. Her yield is as f0110w517,282.11b milk, 1036.091 b but-ter-lat. Vivandiere was milked throughout the whole period of her test twice daily, t)hus putting up a world’s record over all breeds. Vivandiere is a wonderfully healthy cow, and throughout the whole 565 days of her great work has never once ailed a day. v Now she looks in better heart than when she started. She completed her-test on August 3rd, and is due to calve again on September 19th, so will easily gain a firstclass certificate. Vicandiere’s sire is Beadhlands King Pin, a winner of many championships in the show ring, including Auckland, 1917. His sire was Brighton Twylish, a noted champion, and his dam Golden Swan’s Maid, with a semi-official record of 543.311 b as three-year-old put up when semi-official testing was practically in its infancy. Vivandiere’s dani is Loo, a beautiful cow, winner of show honours in Taranaki before Mr Christie purchased her to bring north as his foundation cow. She also has a splendid show career in the north. Loo has a semi-official record of 257.911 b fat in 338 days.
