COW'S 86 GALLONS PER WEEK

Mr. #. Furness's British Friesian cow Dunhmald; Daphne, which on November "13* brake the record for milk production in 24 hours, has how broken the British milk yield record for seven days, her production being, 869| lb, which is 59i lb higher than the previous record, made by the 3000-gallon cow Brookside Colantha. For the week November 12 to 18, Dunninald Daphne gave the following quantities of milk I^ r n day: 124f lb, 129i1b, 129 alb, 115f lb 1231 Jb, 121 lb, 126 lb. An official of the local Milk Recording Society was present at the milking on Tuesday, when the cow gave 3in one day more milk than any other animal in the country has yielded in a similar period. On Sabbath, Monday, and Tuesday the cow was milked four times daily, and three times daily on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The change from four to three ihilkings is reflected in the figures for the fourth day, and the fact that the cow was in season on the Friday did not affect the yield so much as might have been expected. Aldmgbourne Annie, one of Mr Herbert Neale's herd of British Friesian cows ■at i Bognor, is the second animal of that breed in his herd to give 2000 gallons of milk in one year i i i
