Y.i pp. The leader of the list, however, bads from Canada. Great as these cows are, the future will produce even greater, Prof. Yapp jo edicts. Prefacing his list, the Illinois dairy husbandry expert says: "The only ommou ground upon which it seems advisable to attempt to compare dairy cows is butter fat production. It Is not possible nor prae-li' prae-li' able to compare ows on the basis of milk yield inasmuch as the brei d differ so markedly in both QUantit) and rjuality of the milk which Ihej pro.duce. They are very similar however, how-ever, in their total bulterfat production. produc-tion. ' It Is a long jump from 100 pounds to 1,250 pdupds of 1'utt.u- f.it Yet this amount Just about represents the difference in production between the primitive cow and our present day marvels W hat would those oilginal cows think and more particularly, what would their owners think, If they could see our newest super-cow. '."The accompanying tables gives the sixteen cows regardless of breed, age. ownership or locution which have the largest butter fat productions for the yearly period It is extremely Interesting Inter-esting to observe that Bella Pontine, for instance, the hlgbi ist butter fat producing cow in the world, would, would supply butter fat sufficient to feed 29 of our average families of four members for the entire year, and that any one of the rows would feed 20 families allowing 16 1-2 pounds buttei per person per year, which Is J the approximate average consumption, according to the United states circular circu-lar No. 65 for 1918."
