FARM AND DAIRY.
A dairyman of Griffith (N.S.W.) has a remarkable Shorthorn- cow, which has given birth to seven calves during the last four years, amongst them being two lots of twins. In the same time this cow's calves have produced five. This makes a record of twelve descendants from the cow in four years. The last lot of twins was dropped on December 27, 1918, and, like the preceding twins, were heifers; in fact, ten of her descendants are heifers. The calving dates were as follow:—February, 1915, heifer; January, 1916, heifer; December, 1916, bull; November, 1917, twin heifers; December, 1918, twin heifers. When giving 481b of milk this cow tested 5 per cent.
