COW BEATS THE WORLD'S RECORD. About twenty-two miles south of Utiea, near Solsville, 'New York, a cow has just distinguished herself by smashing the world's record in the amount of milk and butter production in a sevenday test. Farmer Eugene La mini ion had a 'cow which was producing milk and butter in such quantities that he had to milk the animal four times a day, so he took advantage of a privilege granted by the State Department of Agriculture, and called upon the Department for a test of the cow, the State to pay one-half of the cost of the test and the owner the other half.. A representative of the State Department and another dairy chap from the Cornell Agricultural College came to the farm, and for thirty days they fed the animal, weighing every ounce of food given to her, as "well as ever ounce of milk and butter produced. The result was that the two years eleven months and twenty - three day's old cow has smashed the world's record, not only for production of cows at that age, 'but of the best that a cow of any age has produced. Lockhart de Kol No. 101,544 is the highly poetic name of this extremely practical cow. and for seven days she gave over SOlb'of milk each day, and produced 29.271b of butter. The highest record for this age of cow was 28.061b of butter in seven days. Farmer Lamunion was offered 2500d01. (£500) for the cow, but he promptly refused it.
