A CRACK BRITISH COW.

.' FINE MILKING PEBFORMANCE. In a recent issue of the "Live Stock Journal"'a correspondent asked for information as to which was the best dairy cow for the 1910 season. Another .correspondent supplied this answer:—"Tho out-' standing cow of this year's milk and butler tests is undoubtedly Burton Fuchsia 3rd, the property of Mr. John. Evens, Burton. At the Koval Show at' Liverpool, when twenty-nine days in milk, she gave 771b. 12oz. milk in twenty-four hours, cr nearly eight gallons, with the wonderful fat" percentage of 4.5. This yielded 31b. 12Joz. of butter. Her combined points for milk and butter were, wo believe, the highest ever obtained in an English showyard since these tests were started. Besides this, Fuchsia has the following to her credit: At Tring, in 1010, when calved severity days, she gave 671b. lOdz. milk, and ' won third prize.' At tho London- Dairy. Show, when calved 133 days, t-hc gave sGlb. soz. milk, and won first breed niilk test. In 1909, at the Bath and West, in the threo days' butter test, she yielded 2131b. milk, which produced 81b. o\oz. butter, and won first prize. In the one-day milk test she gave TUlb.'milk, and 'won first prize. At the Royal Show at Gloucester, when-sov-bntv-two days in milk, she gave G3lb. '-toz. niilk, and won first ■breed-milk test, third open milk test, 'third open butter test, and third special butter test. At Tring, when lit days in milk, she gave G6lb. 12oz. milk, and won second prize milk test. These must constitute a record performance for any one cow."
