Tilly Alcartra has been in the lime- light of the dairy world before. One feat was a 7-day record of 40 lbs. butter from lbs. milkâbut that is by the way. Her production for 1918 amounts to 33,4248 lbs. milk, from which the butterfat is equal to 1, lbs. but- ter. She averaged over 42 quarts of milk per day for the whole year, and her total production if sold at 9 cents per quart would bring a return of $1,400! For four years she has an average of 27, lbs. milk, 1,- lbs, butter, and for six years her average is 26,129 lbs. milk and lbs. butter; while the total production for the six years is 156,- lbs. milk, 6, lbs. butter. By this demonstration she has proven beyond all doubt that she is the greatest and most - wonderful milch cow the world has ever known. The nearest competitor to Tilly Alcartra is the Jersey cow, Sophie 19th of Hood Farm, whose six years' production is lbs. milk, lbs. butter; the milk being less than half that given by the Holstein. "Tilly" is 10 years and 3 months old; she has had six calves, and is a sister of 13 cows who have been a credit to the Holstein breed, two of whom have exceeded lbs. milk and over 900 lbs. butter in a year, and six have records from 732 up to 796 lbs. butter. She is a daughter of Alcartra Polk- adot Corrector 30C24 and out of the dam, Tilly Lou 2d 82057. Alcartra Polkadot Corrector is a son of Al- cartra Polkadot, a 29-lb. cow having five A. R. O. daughters, two with records of over 33 lbs. butter each in 7 days and one over 31 lbs. "Til- ly" was bred by McKay Brothers, o
