Remarkable 'Achieverr.:
. Listed to Credit of St,

In August, 1921, a new year
leader of the Jersey breed was :
nounced. St. Mawes Lad's Lr
451468 produced, in one y
829.09 pound3 . butterfat.
record at that time was the rr
est one made by a yearling cl z.
breed. . ' :;, '
'St. Mawes Lad's Lady, hav -has

mature record to be teua x I
next freshening. Her latest rc:
was started when Lay was f
years and two months of ass, j
places her second in her da: i ;
the ' world's champion Jcr
Darling's Jolly Lassie.

Or.,L another Of those prac
dairy farmers of the Ovid Pi;'
type who can put a little r
feed into and by intelligent c
and feeding draw the max!.
production out of their cows.
Unfortunately Mr. Iliff be
lli eerly in Lady's lactation r -
and from there on her cars f
to Mrs. Iliff and M. N. Tibt! t
hired man.
The blood that St. Mawes L
Lady carries is a concentration
some of the most productive
the breed. In the first place I
sire is St. Mawes Lad, a bull I
ing five daughters which hate
ceeded 700 pounds butterfat r
one of which is the only yeaii.
of the breed to be awarded a r
medaL
The dam of the new high r r
ducer is Lad's Lady Ann, and I
official record of 947 pouncU 1
terfat shows that she also c
tributed to a great degree ia t
production achievement of 1
daughter.
The achievements of the cr:.
parents of St. Mawes Lad's L
form a combination which is t
dom found in the pedigree cf t
animal of any breed. Her sir
sire baa five daughters with, t
ords well in excess of 700 pot:
butterfat. Her sire's dam av
aged 700 pounds butterfat fcr!
first five lactation periods, sot:
her total official production '
fore reaching the age ot S yt
was 3500 .pounds butterfat, t
achievement equalled only t?
few cows in the whole world. 3.
dam's ; sire has five dauLt
whose records average over S
pounds; butterfat, one of wl
was the record of 1048 pour
butterfat produced by a' for:
world's champion cow. Her da
dam proaucea u rounas uun
fat at 11 years of age.
.'That type has -not been ej;
ficed in the generations of c
structive breeding to produce t
outstanding cow, I evj mod
the fact that at the Ore : on ti:
fair of 1923 St. Mawes L- l's I.
won first prize in both the T,.
ter of Merit and Progeny cl:
and that she and her daus"
were both members of tto
prize dairy herd.
Because of Lady's ssa-r
yearling . record and her 1".

the eyes of all Jersey !
will now look to her a-
