Short, Horns as Dairy Cows.

The Prairie Farmer says: Gan in
quiry is before us pertaining TO
short-horns for the dairy. The-idea
is abroad that this breed is not de-
sirable for dairy purposes, and that
these cattle have been bred so much
with n view to pedigree and certain
other points that the milking habit
has been sacrificed. To some ex tent
this may be true, but it is not the
rule in fact, poor mixers among
short-horn cows constitute a small
minority of the breed. There are
good mixers in all breeds. and there
are also poor ones in all breeds.
FAfe bred shOrt-horn cows are FREE
quently seen that are excellent dairy
COWS, and with grades this is very
often the case; and such cows have,
besides, the desirable quality of
quickly .iattening for market. TO
discover that'the short-horn COW has
o good rseOrd as a mixer, it is only
NECESSARY to- refer TO the different
volumes OF the Anlericdn Herd Book.
1t will be found that Cows are men,
toned that gave thirty quarts and
more daily1fOr q considerable length
of time, and made three and four
pounds of butter per day, OF early
shOrt-horns there is a record of one
cow that gave eighty-one ponds of
milk per. day from which twenty
four pounds of butter per week for
two weeks were made. Another
yield of sixteen pounds ofbutter per
week, and the average yield of milk
of another on grass alone through
the season was twenty-eight pounds
at each milking. These instances OF
the fine milkingquali of the earlier
short.hornsmight be multiplied, but
it is unnecessary. The modern short
horns, when properly bred, are fully
equal to- their ancestors. This is
shown by,late expert
ments both in Americaand England,
Pure bred short=norns. are kept es-
pecially for the dairy by. several
prominent dairymen in this country.
A notableiDstance of this is the herd \
of the Hon. Harris Lewis, of Herk@
inner, NJ Y. One of the largest and |
most profitable milk dairies near
New York Citya few years ago land
We presume it is yeti was that of Mr.. |
A. w. Powell,s OF Onionyille, N. Y,
which consists ofhgh grade1short-
horns. Mot long since we saw no.
ticed the case of q cow owned by
Mr.. Armitage, of Yorkshire, Eng
land, that yielded twenty-four and a |
half pounds ofbutter per week. reck-
oning twenty-five pinfs of milk for-l
q pound of butter This cow gave,
it was said; eighty-seyen pounds of
milk per Gay. Another cow gave,
for the first twelve months, 1882
pounds of milk, and after. cafving the
second year, 1859 pounds of milk I'M
