WORLD’S CHAMPION AYRSHIRE.

CANADIAN COW ESTABLISHES A RECORD. Canadian Ayrshires are unique in that they hold all the principal world’s production records for the breed. The latest record-breaker is Eosebank Pride, owned by Geo. Pearson and Sons, of Waterdam, Ontario. This cow has just completed what 1 is a Canadian record for milk production, having given 23,6411bs milk, 9781bs fat, average test 4.14 per cent., in 365 days. This record (reports the "Canadian Ayrshire Review”) also puts her in the world’s champion class for long distance records. During the five year* she has been milking, she has given a total of 87,8431 b milk, 3,6331 b fat. This last record, therefore, makes her the Canadian and World’s long distance Champion for five consecutive lactations, which includes three immature records.
