Ruby produced 8,448 pounds of milk as a two-year-old and had she averaged the same per cent of fat as when three years old. Belle's record for butter fat at the same age would have exceeded hers by twenty 99.—Kate daughter of Ruby at two years of age. The longest single period of lactation was that of Glista Netherland for 73 weeks. This was her first lactation and dur- ing this time she produced 14780 pounds of milk containing pounds of butter-fat. A comparison of her record with that of Glista 4th will be of interest, since they are practically of the same age and are very closely related, both being by the same sire and Glista 4th's dam is Glista Netherland's grand dam. Glista 4th has had four calves; been in milk a total of 174 weeks and produced pounds of milk and pounds.
