Station Jersey Cow Boosts .,, Another Recordl, All Canadian and World's Records Again Broken by British Columbia Jersey The Canadian records for the largest production of both milk and butterfat by a two year old Jersey heifer in the 305 day class, as well as the world's record for the butterfat production in this class, have been broken by Fatl.sigh St. -Mawes Retta-21677—. This ani- mal is owned and was tested by the Dominion Experimental S'.',tion for the Okanagan Valley, located a1 Summerland, British Columbia. By producing, in 305 days under the regulations governing the Cana- dian Record of Performance, a tot- al of 11606 pounds of milk, yielding 648.78 pounds of butterfat, Retta has excelled the performance of the former holder of the so-called world's record for production in this! particular class, namely, Blue Fox's Eminent Queen 64969A owned by F. H. Young of South Carolina, which' produced 1134$ pounds of milk anti 64'.16 pounds of butterfat under the regulations of the Arnericaat Record! of Mott for Jersey cattle. It may be recalled to need that Larleigh St. Mawes Retta a ear ago as a senior yearling. broke the 305 day class record which was at that time acclaimed as the world's record for yearling Jerseys, by the eredue- tion of 9013 pounds of milk and 5` pounds of fat. This record of has 1 was later exceeded by the present_ holder of the title, Graym,„re Alien 585854A owned and tested by M. N. Tibbles of Oregon. An unofficial report was unfor- tunately allowed to reach the press a few weeks ago in which Retta aas credited with only 63(] pounds of fat and with establishing only a new Canadian record in this Claes. No , correction was ¢made at that tone as{ it was not deemed advisable to rec- tify the error until she calved sue- 1 cessfully and proper official an- nouncement of her wonderful ace complishment could he made. Retta dropped a live heifer calf on February 12th, 1927, and has there- fore complied with the calving re- quirements in order to qualify her for the 305 day elass under the Re- cord of Performance regulations. She carried her calf for 206 day'; during the period of her test. Farleigh St. Mawes Retta was bred by E. W. Paitson at Duncan, B,C., and acquired as a yearling by the Dominion Experimental Station, af- Co. Limited ter her dam, St. Mawes Land';:ee, 3rd Daughter was purchased am a foundation cow for the Station Jer- sey heed when it .was esiablfshod early in 1924. She was raise I and has been handled all her life, both as a calf and as a now, by the present herdsman at the Experimental Sta- tion,, Mr. Jas. Aitken, who was for- merly herdsman for E. W. Paitson. To his kindly, consistent and regu- lar attendance in handling and milk- ing and to his excellent judgment 'n feeding, the highest credit for these records of Retta's must be giren. Perhaps to the dairyman the most interesting phase of the p?j•.uc'tiun of this cow lies in the excellent mar- gin of profit which she shows. Like j all her stable mates she has all her 1 Feed weie•l'ed to her at eacn feeding ne aecui .te production costs are tl •'for available. Her total face L .. fee e: ten months even include; gem for pasture was $10ii, Her feed bill for the comes- ling period of her first test was '1.21. While it was actually bete - his year. this. is accounted for hy -act that her grain ration :vas tower in cost per ton than during the previous test, 'but the average con- sumed for the entire period of both Mete. was about the same. being 3001 pounds in 1925 and 3078 pounds in 1926. However, her consumption or rourghaees such as silage, roots and alfalfa hay, was much higher during, the Iast test than previous. Her daily ration of grain did not exceed 12 pounds per day'at any time, and this amount was fed for only a few dad's as it was dropped to 10 pounds per day when it was found thnt she diel not respond. The grain mixture fed cnnsisted of oat chop, bran and oil meal in the approximate ratio of 2: 2:1.. This ratio was varied in season cut the ingredients were not chang- ed. Only meagre pasture was avail- able for the summer months but d oral soitin; crops were provided. The cost rrer pound butterfat was err- ; centionally low, being 16 115 cents per pound,' even though all feeds were charged against this cow at full mnrlcet prices.

BACK TO APPLE SAVE Task Before Ontario Griwers' Asso- ciation, The good old apple sauce should go back into the Canadian menus, de- clares 12. J. Deachman, at present at Ottawa, and an old Howick Township boy. "There are a hundred ways to cook it, and it's good in them ail. Put the apple back on its throne -- that's the task before the growers of Ontario And it can be done, but it will take energy and effort, but it's worth doing." Tariff revision does not apply in this case, says Mr. Deachman. "You apple growers are being beaten in your own country by BritishColum- bia, not the United States,' The real trouble, as he sees it, is that Canad- ians are not eating apples as they should. Consumption of apples is es- timated for the Dominion at 48 pounds per capita per year; for the U. 8. at 81. "Our consumption should be two million barrels greater than it is" he reasons. And bis re- cipe for raising consumption is a province -wide co-operative market- ing system, and a definite allowance for advertising for every barrel or box—it campaign directed ,;at not merely advising people in a general way to eat apples, but telling the housewife how to cook them to bring out the real bavor.

As the roller canary is an imitator, like the parrot, but of notes instead of words, nothing can be done. Eminent musicians who have al- ways been interested in this choice chord suggested that young birds, in the learning months should have the chord played over to them on the finest church organs. It has been done without success. Fluted cords have been tried evith equal failure, From this the bud learns what is called the koller-like, a chord of only two notes. It learns to use only 10 changes of note a second instead of 16, so that we can never hope to hear this chord again unless some singer of it has escaped notice. That is almost impossible THE BRITISH APPLE MARKET The first boat carrying Australian apples is due to arrive in London on March 20th with a consignment of 4,200 boxes, while a second consign- ment is due on April 1st with 10,000 boxes. To total Canadian and American amounted to 4,299,256 barrels and 6,331,596 boxes. The British markets for Canadian apples during February was charac- terized by heavy supplies and moder- ate demand with firm prices at the beginning of the mpnth, followed by a decline in prices towards the :end of the month, according to a cable , received from J.
