TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

CERTIFICATE-OF-RECORD LIST FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER.

W. M. Singleton,

Director of the Dairy Division.

The accompanying list, giving particulars of the records of cows which . received their certificates during the months of September and October, is strong in both number and quality of records. Many of the performances are deserving of special reference, but the list.is so long that, for the most part, the figures must be left to speak for themselves, confining brief notice to a few of the more salient records. JERSEYS. Keston Flower, who heads the junior two-year-olds in this list, also becomes leader of her class for the Jersey breed. She is owned by Mr. G. E. Yelchich, of Waiuku, and displaces Mr. F. J. Saxby’s Alfalfa Pansy (690-16 lb. butterfat). Keston Flower commenced her test at the age of 1 year 359 days, and produced 694-28 lb. butterfat from 11,472-2 lb. milk in 365 days. Her pedigree contains many names well known to those interested in the Jersey breed, and she probably gains much of her quality from Eminent's Fontaine, who appears twice on the sire's side, and from Majesty’s Fox, who appears twice in the female half of the pedigree. Keston Flower was bred by Mr. C. B. Herrold, Waiuku, who bred and tested her dam, Floral Fox (C.O.R. 469-58 lb. butterfat). 1 Tulip’s Minta May, in the same class; is a good runner-up. Her record of 660-44 lb. butterfat should be an encouraging result of a first year’s testing for her owner, Mr. H. Cole, Tikorangi. In .the mature class Mr. R. R. Dean’s Dianella, with 825-42 lb. butterfat, has produced more than creditably. She already had. a C.O.R. for 572-92 lb. butterfat as a senior two-year-old. FEIESIANS. Bainfield Topsy 10th, a junior four-year-old, is shown with 863-89 lb. butterfat she also has a junior three-year-old C.O.R. for 468-41 lb. in. 221 days. She was bred by Mr. W. D. Hunt, Waikiwi, on whose farm she gained her first certificate; her second C.O.R. was won under the testing of Mr. O. A. Cadwallader, Grey town. The mature section includes the name of Mr. T. H. Richards’s Monavale ..Queen Bess, whose yield of 950-90 lb. butterfat certainly places her among the high producers of the breed. Her consistency and constitution are demonstrated by the fact that she already has two C.O.R.son high productionsnamely, 740-5016. as a junior two-year-old and 800-18 lb. as a junior three-year-old, giving her the leadership of both these classes. She is from the stud of Mr. C. C. Buckland, late of “ Monavale,” Cambridge, who laid the foundation for many of the Friesian breed’s high producers. Next below Monavale Queen Bess appears Coldstream Magpie Domino, whose record of 924-47 lb. butterfat is of outstanding merit. . She also has a C.O.R. for 586-27 lb., gained on a test commenced at the

age of 1 year 347 days. Coldstream Magpie Domino was bred and tested by Messrs. G. A. Marchant and Sons, Cardiff, Taranaki. It will be noted that a third 900 lb. Friesian appears in this list,. Zozo 2nd of Ashlynn having yielded 905-89 lb. butterfat. This is her second C.0.R., her record in the preceding season being 555-44 lb. Zozo 2nd of Ashlynn was bred by Mr. C. A. Hopping, and gained both her C.O.R.s at the farm of her present owners, Messrs. John Court, Ltd., Auckland.

AYRSHIRES. The list contains a new Dominion champion for the Ayrshire breed. Mr. A. Montgomerie's Glencairn Brownie has gained the leadership of the mature class, and her performance also constitutes the highest C.O.R. Ayrshire production in New Zealand. She commenced her record at the age of 8 years 360 days, and in 365 days yielded 15,579-4 lb. milk containing 728-05 lb. butterfat. This record exceeds that of Mr. A. M. Weir’s Ivanhoe Fancy, the previous highest Ayrshire producer, by 14-12 lb. Congratulations are extended to Mr. Montgomerie on his success. The class-leaders of the Ayrshire breed are gradually but surely advancing to a very creditable stage, and this should be an encouragement to breeders of purebred Ayrshires to place their favourite stock under C.O.R. test in larger numbers than formerly.
