(The following article appears la the November 15, 1922, Issue of the Jersey Bulletin published at Indianapolis:) ; World's Record ror Herd roduction A few months ago, the Ameri can Jersey Cattle club announced that the McArthur ft Stauff herd at Ash wood farm, Rickreall, Ore gon, had established a world's record for butter fat production when an average of sixteen cows maintained an average of 56.8S pounds butter fat for twelve con secutive months. It seems, how ever, thai this splendid perform ance, was only a forerunner of a more remarkable record, for the Register of Merit files of the American Jersey ' Cattle club now show that eighteen cows in this herd bave completed 305 and 365 day tests which average 658.02 pounds butter fat. The four out standing features of this, record are: 1. Every .cow In the herd with ono or more'offlcfal testa lo her credit is Included. 2. The average age at the beginning of . the tests was only . three ; years f eight months. 3. All but two of the cows were bred by their own ers. 4. Aft but two of the records ,are entered in Class AA or Class AAA ,or, the cows are safely bred for one of these classes. All In all, this record Is a most remarkable one. . It has never 'been approached by any herd of more than twelve cows, and It re flects the greatest credit upon Its ' owners; likewise upon the. Jersey breed. : Only three of the cows par tie! Dating in it were mature animals at the beginning of ttfcir . tests. Of the others, five were ' four-year-olds; four were three- year-olds and six were. . two-year-!olds. The largest contributing factor to the general result was the record of ten daughters of the AjJ. C. Club Medal of Merit bull Holger. These ten cows averaged 754.54 lbs. fat, at an average age nf fonr years five months. Six daughters of St. Mawes of Ash wood averaged 563.01 lbs. fat, at an average age of two years seven ! months. ' ) This herd record does not In clude the Incomplete tests of two two-year-olds, which will finish their lactation periods next Janu- ' try. With the addition of these two records, the herd of twenty cows will average approximately 640 lbs. fat, bnt as many of the cows previously tested are now on re-entry test and are bettering their old records, it looks as thrtnerh th herd average will be well over 700 lbs. fat by Septem ber 1, 1923. A complete list of the present records of the eighteen cows in the Ashwood farm herd is as follows: Cow At Lin. ft CUwjand wisest helD Dossible in boost- appears that Messrs. McArthur & Stauff will be entitled to tKvee medals of merit, three standard gold medals and ten silver med als. Cows in this herd, on records completed in 1922. have already Qualified one bull for a medM of merit, a gold medal and a silver medal and another bull for a sil ver medal. A visit to Ashwood farm re veals no evidences of elation be cause of the remarkable record, but merely a determination to raise the average. Mr, McArthur and Mr. Stanff. the owners, and Mr. Jepson. the herdsman, are Justly proud of the records. The herd has been bred and developed along correct lines and a glance at a score of beautiful yearling heif ers dispels all doubts as to its fu ture.

So lots of im provement has been made lately in the quality of butter, and there is no good reason why it should not be brought up to the high rank of Oregon cheese. Care of the cream is the start for high grade butter. This means bacterial as well as general clean liness, pasteurization of sweet and sour cream, ripening the cream, use of starters, and churning. Milk and cream testing, moisture of butter, salt and fat determin ation, need be understood. These are all taught by Instruction and laboratory practice in the big commercial creamery at O. A.

This came last fall when the volume of storage eggs was much above nor mal, not only in California, but throughout the country.
