As has been printed heretofore in these columns, the Riverside Herd of Holsteins owned by the Pierce Land and Stock Company whose magnificent stock farm is located four miles from Stockton, has made some wonderful records as butter producers,. A test conducted by the authorized representatives of the Univer- sity of California showed that Fideasa, the first prize winner at the recent California State Fair, and selected by Prof. Carlyle as embodying the highest degree of per- fection of type in the ideal cow, regardless of breed, earned two records. In a thirty day test she gave pounds of milk, which yielded pounds of butter. This is the world's record for a four year old Holdstein for thirty days. In a seven- day test she gave 569 pounds of milk which would have made pounds of 80 per cent butter. Another cow in the Bame herd, Romeo Aaggie produced twenty-six pounds of 80 per cent butter in a seven-day test. This last record has never been beaten on the Pacific Cuast and is second only to the world's record held by a cow at St. Paul, that gave no less than twenty-nine pounds in the same length of time. Now comes what to our mind is a still more remarkable showing for the farm. A letter received at the office of the Breedek and Sportsman from Mr. Chas. D. Pierce, President of the Pierce Land and Stock Company, says: "We desire to report- to yon that we have just finished testing our 9th two year old heifer, and the average record for the lot is 14 lbs., 3 oz. of butter each in seven days. These are certainlv wonder- ful records, and we doubt if there is another herd in the United States to day that contains nine two year olds with such ; A dairy farm that can produce nine two year old heifers that average over two pounds of butter each per day is certainly a wonderful success.
