TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

C.O.R. LIST FOR JULY TO OCTOBER

Dairy Division. The appended list, comprising particulars of 155 records, includes a number of very good performances. . It will be noted that almost every class is headed by an outstanding yield, while some, of the classes contain several records considerably above the average. ' In the Jersey section the performance of . Mr. J. J. Goodwin's three-year-old Rexcourt Lady Magnet attracts attention. Her yield of .880-19 lb. butterfat places her high among the leading producers of this class for the breed ; in fact, the record is only some 25 lb. below that of Mr. P. J. Petersen’s Ivondale Golden Lass, the present leader ,of the Jersey three-year-old. NEW FRIESIAN SENIOR TWO-YEAR-OLD CLASS-LEADER. The special feature of the current list is the record of Mr. T. Sheriff’s Pareora Echo Blossom. . Her C.O.R. for 819-81 lb. butterfat entitles her to the leadership of the senior two-year-old Friesians, a position -which Mr. John Donald’s well-known Netherland Princess IV has held •since the 1913-14 season, the second year of certificate-of-record testing in New Zealand. Pareora Echo Blossom was bred by Mr. A. S. Elworthy, of Holme •Station, Timaru, one of our oldest C.O.R. testing breeders, and gained her certificate in the ownership of Mr. T. Sheriff, Clandeboye. The .greater proportion of the pedigree of Pareora Echo Blossom" is comprised of imported stock. Her sire is Rosevale Echo Burkeyje, and her dam Pareora Cherry Blossom, who gained a C.O.R. for 491 lb. butterfat at the age of 2 years 324 days. The paternal grandsire of Pareora Echo Blossom is Echo Sylvia Sir Griselda (imp.), who has to his credit ten C.O.R. daughters, eight with first-class and two with second-class certificates. The paternal grandam of Pareora Echo Blossom is North and Sons’ Rosevale Burkeyje Sylvia, one of the many fine cows bred by these well-known breeders. Rosevale Burkeyje Sylvia has gained seven certificates of record, 'two on productions over 700 lb. butterfat, three on productions over 600 lb., and the remaining two on productions over 500 lb. This cow is a daughter of Burkeyje : Sylvia Posch, and therefore a grandaughter of Inka Sylvia Beets Posch one 'of the outstanding sires of the breed. The maternal grandsire of Pareora Echo Blossom is Marquis Segis Colantha, sire of nine first.class and two second-class C.O.R. daughters, many good records being represented. The maternal grandam, Pareora Glommen, has a C.O.R. for 376-97 lb. butterfat on a record commenced at 2 years 318 days. Marquis Segis Colantha was sired by King Segis .Wild Rose Homestead, and Pareora Glommen by Cliffside. Butter Laddie, who in turn is by Cliffside Laddie.

Pareora Echo Blossom is thus a concentration of many well known and proven strains, and represents a combination of Canadian, American, and Dutch ° blood lines. She is still a young cow, and should be capable of still further outstanding performance.

Cider Manufacture.— quantity of cider manufactured in the Dominion last season is estimated at 50,000 gallons, with an approximate value of £12,500.

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