In the light of every day i experiences on
the fadm and in the dairy it is marvellous
that a little cow weighing oely 950 pounds
should produce 1,047 pounds three-fourths
ounces of butter in one year, but here we
he best possible evidelice that it has
one. It is very hard for- main
whose cows scarcely produce two hundred
younthitof butter yearly to 'believe that a
single 'ow can produce the yield of five such
cow', i But when we know how these big
record have been reached, step by t
• step,
first oie cow, and then another raising the
figure, we are convinced of the possibilities
of such performances with careful breeding
and feding. i
The contest among- the Jerseys has hep.-
.pily been for a champion prize cup that xs
passed along from one record breaker to an-
other. 1 The cup was introdtdeed by E. F.
Appleton at the time he took the record of

ounce, from Landseer's Fancy i with Euroti-
samad 945 pounds- nine ounces. Then it
was won by Meson's Belles with 1,0'28
pounde fifteen and tive-eighthd ounces and
now Signal's Lily 'Flagg has the cup, with
the record of 1,047 pounds 'three-fourths
ounces.. The popularity of these contests
is shoeen in the following invitation : "The
citizens of Huntsville, Alabama, request the
pleasuee of your presence at a reception to
be given at the Monte Sano Hotel, on. Wed-
nesda,y, June 29th, at half -past 8 o'clock iu

owned the cow and conducted the test. At
this receptionoind feast the Champion Cup
was presented and the whole city of Hunts-
ville paid honora to the little cbw thatwon
the prize. The test began June 1, 1891, at

Up to May 24th the test had been what
is called "private," that is, it wad not con -0
ducted under the management of the Am-
erica:it Jersey Cattle Club, though it was
well known throughout the country that
the test was going On, and all were invited
to inspect the management, Ditring the
last week of the year an official teeter of the
club, the well known Valency 1.11-i Fuller,
who owned Mary Anne of StoLambert,
presided with several other well known
dairy authoritiesand, either under better
advice or conscious of the iMportance
of the occasion, Signal's Lily Flagg surpass-
ed all her previous work. The suit of the
year 'e work was milk I0,954.03 podnds and
• butter 1,047.04 pounds.: The official test
began May 24th and continued. set -ken days,
the record being twenty-iieven pounds three
and one-half ounces of butter fiiom 189
pounds seven ounces milk, or testi than
• Neven pounds of milk to one pound of
butter.
The following is the feediug of Signal's
Lily PIagg for the full yew.. She began
with .a ration of two gallons colin mea,
three gallons wheat bran, one gallon ground
oats, three quarts -oil meal and twogallons
silage, given daily in two. feeds. Giadually
this ration was increased until she thok four
gallons corn mea, four gallons grouhd oats,
two gallons wheat bran, one and tele -half
galloos oil meal and about fifty ponds of
clover'. hay. As _bee time for calving ap-
proached the feed was reduced, 'and on
December 30th she had oply four gallops of
• bran. After caving the grain was ! gradu-
ally restored to the full ration and kept, up
until the last week when, under the advice
•a Nit. Fuller, two quarts of oil meal were
sidded.• During the whole yesio the
cow received precisely the mimed treat-
ment as that given the general herd. She
ran on a rather poor pasture and took the

edified by the fervor with which one of the

held in his hand, and which wee supposed
to be a collection of prayers for the depart-
ed. A neighbor, happening to glance at it,
