Although only nine years old on July 19, Ballarra Bonnie, a purebred Jersey cow owned by Mr F. A. Williams, of Bamawm Extension (Australia), has completed seven consecutive official tests for a total yield of 63,4191 b milk and 41191 b butterfat. This production is equal to an average 90591 b milk and 5891 b butterfat for each test period of 273 days or to a daily average of 331 b milk and 2.151 b butterfat for each of the 1911 days she was under the standard herd test. The yearly tests of this remarkable dairy cow

have been surprisingly regular. She began in the junior two-year-old class with a record of 401 b butterfat; the junior three and four-year-old tests were 5651 b and 6291 b respectively. These were followed by 6911 b, 6341 b, 6151 b, and a recent yield of 5831 b butterfat.
