No more fttlng tribute was ever paid
the noble red, white aud roam than The
| frat paragraph OF the eloquent paper
entitled "Short Horn Pee eminence," by
VIM, Warleld, which appeared In the
| Gazette Of February 18Th, but love OF
truth and justice prompts me 20 take OK
ceptlons TO what was said In the latter
part Of the paper, referring TO the OIL, or
side Of the shield, !. o. the dairy side
| Too many people have forgotten that tbe
short horn Ia the best milker; their very
breeders fail TO call attention 10 II,
What more forcible argument could b.
brought TO bear against the claim Of
short horn supremacy Ink he dairy than
hose very wOrds, which | quote from
Mr.. WarAeld's paper, ~ II n possibility
that the short horn COW possesses encll
supremacy. ana that her breeders have
no far failed TO demonstrate II by nc

concealed In this day OF rivalry between

one OF the thousands who ARE breedil 4
| Short H0rns In Amerl Ga must have been
stimulated by the Immense records

claims 10 pr sent In support OF their
claims. Too much cannot DO said ~
praise Of tho Short Horn COW for what
ahe has done TO improve our common
cattle, but ~ an excel'l)r dairy COW W.
must look further. The little Channel

L Iusa al nslaalan nnnnIul
dairy COW Ia far beyoud comparison with
the Short Horn or any other breed. She
has proved by thousands OF actual rec
0rds that ~ u milk COW she IL way In
advance OF all competitors, and no u
cheese producer she occupies the same
position. A. n butter maker ehe recog-
nIzea no one M her peer, while her beef
qualities are far above the ordlnaryi bat
she readl y yields the palm 10 those
whose tpecialiy IL the production OF
beef. The nami OF Mercedes has become

The achievement Of making 90 lba y ~
Of butter In thirty duyp, WI ich made her
f1m 1us, aleo won for her the chamI Ion
cup offered by "fhe Breedere Gzttle'
IN 1883. Echo astonished tho world by
giving 1920 lbs, OF milk In ono year
and 90 67b lbs. the next. Aeglea second
made 90 lba, OF butter In seven days, and
De Vripa beat the record by making l2l
lb9 OF butter In thirty days. Marie acc

Thes, records fairly made and properly
vouched for are significant facts, and
we challenge Mt. War1eld or any OF
his supporters 10 place by their aide any
short horn records they may possess
The winning OF the prize for the best
pair Of mllch cows NJ the Royal by The
short horns may eaeily be accounted foI

every stockman acquainted with Epg'

There 10 no question that the bearerl
Of tho red, white and roam are great mi
