or 3G7 pounds of butter per year
While tills Is almost a fourth bettei

Queen for that long period. And in an
exact comparison for one year Rose
made more than three times as much
butter fat as Queen from exactly the
same feed, both In kinds and amount
and with the same care.
Rose was purchased by the Illinois

years old, and she is now past sixteen.
She was picked up among the cows of- \

and she lias been doing practically ns

Her longest milking period In thin

completed when she was fourteen and
