In a test of 120 days, in which 20 Shorthorns were carried entirely through, the cows made an average of pounds milk, pounds butter fat, pounds solids not fat, and an average gain in weight during 114 days of pounds. Numerous public dairy tests of Shorthorns have demonstrated the ample capacity of the breed at the pail. In 1901, at the Pan-American Exposition, between May i and October 31, five Shorthorn cows produced a total of pounds churned butter, yielding a net profit of $ ^t the London Dairy Show in 1904 a fine showing of Shorthorns was made, one cow producing 58 pounds milk in a day, and 14 averaging pounds milk per day. Many state-fair records show the Short- horn to yield a liberal milk flow. An interesting record of a grade is the cow Rose, that at the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 326 days produced 10,163 pounds milk, containing Fig. 76.
