Princess 1., the famous Australian Jersey cow, gave 441b 2'/;OZ of butter in seven days, far surpassing the great cow Eva, whose record was 4.28 lb of churned butter in twenty-four hours. New Zealand's record for a dairy cow is held by that famous Taranakibred Jersey, Grannie's Girl, who gave 7Wlb of commercial butter in 365 dnvs.
