TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

JANUARY CERTIFICATE-OF-R LIST. Dairy Division. The January C.O.R. list is a comparatively small one ; by that period the majority of the cows on test in the previous season have calved and qualified for their certificates. While the appended details of performance include particulars of a number of good yields, the most interesting feature of the list is the production of the Milking Shorthorn cow Rangataiki 2nd, owned and tested by Mr. G. N. Bell, of Karere, Longburn. According to her owner this remarkable animal was born in 1902, and was some 24 years 248 days old at commencement of test. Mr. Bell advises that she dropped her twenty-fourth calf on sth November last, and is giving over 4 gallons of milk per day. In view of her age her last year's authenticated production of 10,688-1 lb. milk containing 376-72 lb. butterfat, in 335 days, is a distinct achievement. Rangataiki 2nd is stated to be a representative of the good old type of English Milking Shorthorn, and, accepting the definition of constitution as “ the ability to continue to the end within the line and limitation of purpose,” this cow surely evidences good constitution to a marked degree.

* Cow milked three times daily during whole lactation period t Milked three times daily during part of period.
