A CHAMPION COW.

The Americans now claim another world's champion cow in Missouri Chief Josephine, a Holstein-Friesian. She finished a six months' test on July 18, and it is claimed produced 17,008.811)8, an average 0f'93.41bs of milk daily for 182 days. This is equivalent to 46.7 quarts, or 11.6 gallons every day. Her highest record for one day was 110.21b5. This record (says an American paper) is the more remarkable because no special preparation had been made for the test, and Josephine has done her full duty in the regular dairy herd 1 , having had five calves in five and one-half .years. Not only has this record smashed all previous world's records for milk production, but the per cent, of butter fat is increasing daily, bo that barring aocU dents, this cow will undoubtedly produce more butter during a period of 12 months than any other cow that has ever been tested in the world.
