SOME DOMINION YIELDS
For the six months commencing January 1, and ending June 30, 1921, the number of dairy cows qualifying for the certificate of record was com - paratively small, owing to the fact that few cows completed their test during the first six months of th.e year. Three breeds were represented, and some excellent yields were recorded. , ; In mature Jerseys, J.

Hunt's (Invercargill) Oakwood Rambler yielded 23,952.61 b of milk and 820.931 bof butter-fat. In mature milking Shorthorns, Ranstead Bros.’ (Matangi) Maniaroa Princess yielded 15,951.71 bof milk for the season, and 700.761 b of butter-fat.
