| WILKING SHORTHORNS FOR THE NORTHWEST (By PROF. THOS. SHAW,) There is now in the quarantine at ith Quebec the largest importation milking Shorthorns ever brought America. Heretofore only a few viduals of this class have ever ed the Atlantic for this country. ese cattle were purchased in Eng Sand by Mr. J. J. Hill, and will be frought to his North Oaks farm not fur from St. Paul. Mr. Hill is » g believer in the value of the two :I?;ose cow, that ig, the cow for milk and also for beef, usually spoken of wmow as the dual purpose cow, and of e COWS Of this™class he regards noue as superior to ‘the milking Shorthorns, called in Britain the dairy Shorthorn. He believes that this type of cow I8 one that is admirably suited to the expense. needs of the average farmer, and in | this he is unquestionably right, not- withstanding the teaching of many in our experiment stations to the con- trary. Many in those stations have taught that there was no place for the dual cow on the farm. They have said she was “a myth, a delusion and a snare.” They have claimed that to keep her on the farm was like “going to hunt prairie chickens with a bull pup,” or like “riding into battle on a heavy draught horse.” Those men were hon- | est in their statements, but they slm-i ply did not know. They thought they knew, but they were mistaken.

Kor twenty-nve Yyears some of those men have been diligently propagating that nonsense, and the public funds have borne the The folly of such teaching will be apparent from the following: In Eng- land there is today an association for promoting the interests of this breed. This association has now 185 mem- bers. In 1912 it published the records of milk production from 234 females, of which quite a percentage were heifers with their first lactation pe- riod. The average of milk production from these was between 7,000 and 8,000 pounds for the year. Some went higher than 13,000 pounds. At Kel enscott, Lechlade, Gloucestcrshire, the owner, Robert Hobbs, has kept milk- ing Shorthorns constantly since 1878. The herd now numbers nearly 200 cows in milk. Since 1908 the average of all these, including a lurge lot of heifers, in milk production hag been considerably mere than 6,000 pounds each year. The cow Dulcic 7th, with & one-year milk record ending May 31, 1913, gave 13,533 pounds, and the cow Rose 37th 14,277 pounds. Many other instances of similar production may be cited. Cows of this breed stand first in the milking trials of the shows more frequently than those of any other breed, including the milking breeds. ‘While the production of niilk is thus highly satisfactory, all the males not wanted for beef are grown into bul- locks. They are reared on skim milk and adjuncts during the milk period. ‘They are sold at the age of eighteen | to thirty months. At twenty-four months they usually average not less than 1,200 pounds, and sell for $100 the butcher. as there is less loss in cutting up the carcass than with bul- locks reared on the dams. There is a larger proportion of lean avd less une desirable fat on the hand reared steers. It is a fact that fully 80 per cent of the milk used in Britain comes from pure and grade Shorthorns and nearly as high a per:entage of the meat. Mr. Powell, the venerable | secretary of the Shorthorn sssociation, told the writer that even many of the breeders of Scotch Shorthorns are now milking their herds. Think of the prices which those cattle bring. At the_dispersal sale of Garrett Taylor ey o "HE'Sall over town. You'll see him. He shows what great confidence I have in WHITE CAT union suits.

They are all now milking and will calve again in due time. Individ- ually they rank high, having been chosen with much care. They have milk records runnirg from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds a year, Thers: is certainly large room for this class of cattle in all the North- western states. This does not mean that there is uo place for the dairy breeds. There is a wide place also for the dairy breeds, but viewed from the standpoint of the present and pros- pective demand for- beef there is a much larger place for dual cattle. This in future must come from the arable farm:, snd it must come mainly from duai cattle that will be milked. Bradshaw and the Months.

'Part of this value will be apparent to you at first ‘llfl“- erosity of its equipment, etc. But the greater part of it—that which has made the Krit famous as a car of super-excellent service and durability—is hidden from the eye. S It is in the materials used; in the mechanical de- sign; it results from the production of every essen- tial part by the Krit’s own factory organization. Instead of buying the motor parts ,or the motor complete; the transmission; the axles, etc., the Krit Company makes them. but they save money; and the saving goes into the car, the upholstering, the body and the equipment. 215 South Fourth Street Standard of the World are judged.
