DAIRY CATTLE TEST.
A Series of Tests Conducted Under
Management of Board of Ex-
position Managers.

There is want of any reliable tests
of the relative merits of the several
breeds of cattle now competing for pub
lie favor as dairy breeds.
The exaggerated statements of breed
ers and spectators have not inspired
confidence among farmers and dairy
men, who are not welded to any one
breed. The so-called tests. have been
made by owners to give fictitious
value to favorite COW or family. The
dairymen and farmers are DESTROYS to
know the relative merits of the cattle
claimed to be dairy stock.
In order to arrive at some conclusion
on this subject, or to furnish facts that
will be accepted as such, the directors
of the Ohio centennial exposition, to be
held at the capital of the state, have de-
termined to give a test of any or all
breeds for forty days.
An expert dairyman will have charge
of the test
All breeds will be admitted to the con-
test. The cows will be placed in charge
OF the superintendent, who will see that
they have a comfortable stable, album
dant feed and water, and the best of
care. They will be free from the an
noyance of visitors, and have Sc
cured to them the quiet and COM
fort as well as feed necessary to highest
milk production. An accurate account
of feed consumed and milk produced
will be made a matter of careful daily
record. The milk will be weighed and
analysed and the amounts of solids, fat,
and water noted. The chemist who
will have charge of this feature of the
test will be appointed by the board of
directors, because of high character as
chemist and man of integrity.
The milk will also be tested in making
butter and cheese, and the results noted
with the incest accuracy of thermometer
and balance. The quality of the butter
or cheese made by each COW will also
enter into the problem.
1t is believed that under this carefully
arranged milk test, continued for a
month, the public will be able to know
what are the actual capacities o. the
several breeds, IS we'll as of the indi-
vidual cows representing the breeds.
The results arrived at will be tabulated
and appear in the annual report of the
board of agriculture for 1888 as a matter
of history and public record. 1t would
be strange if some native with a
crumpled horn would prove a better all
round family cow than any of the i'm
ported breeds. There are such Ohio
natives as will do credit to the country
Let them come to the test. AS soon
as the commissioner of the livestock
department and his superintendent OF
this dairy test complete their outline of
requirements of entry and points of
comparison the dairymen and farmers
will be notified 80 they can get their great
mixers ready for this centennial test.
