Cora, menting upon the report, the editor of the Register says: "Phis bovine marvel, born November 3, 1910, has 83 davs of the year yet to run in completion Of her record. Ratiostine Belle do Kol, the largest yearly producer of butter-fat among the Holsteins, was over five years old when she started Iter ypj-r's test, resulting in a record of lOW.3libs fat; and so was May Rilinn, the Guernsey cow, now world's champion for yearly fat production ■ '07,34" lbs) If Finderne Holingen Fay--e at f.ur years of age, is able to keep ■ p the Tremendous pace she has set, her production at the end of the year •vill be approximately 1167.631bs of butter-fat.
