EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE.
SOLDIER SETTLER'S HERD,
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
MORRINSVILLE, Tuesday.
What can be termed an exceptionally good performance for this season, a very poor one for most dairy farmers, has been put up by Mr. A. Cunningham's herd on tiie Kereone soldier settlement, where, on his 100 acre farm, there has been an abundance of green feed. During August the herd (27 cows in milk) averaged 44.071b of butterfat on factory returns; seven heifers were included. For the past month the butterfat average was 42.241b, with 41 cows in milk, the best cow giving 67.861b, its record to date being 160.691b in 81 days.
