is over 20 lbs. per week apiece, about
half the number found in the entire

now have to make better time or they
will be ovcriaken in this race and left

Prof Alvord probably accepts the
Smiths, Powell d Lamb butter records,
after having tested the milk records Of
Clothilde he said, regarding this herd
and its Arrangements Everything con
vinces me that there was no improper
practice Of deceit, but that all the con-
duct at the Lakeside herd was accurate
and honorable, and the records thorough
ly reliable" We suppose no one will
doubt the above Holstein butter records
as reported after reading this quotation
from Prof Alvord
c. S. Rice in Holstein Register says .
Several diaries in this (hisj vicinity have
been greatly benefited in butter pro
duction by the lIolstein Cross, and the
owners now have the option of butter or
cheese dairying, in either Of which they
can profitably engage. have not one

Henry Stevens, Tacoma, y. Y, writes
about Holsteins as cheese producers, Il
sent my milk to Ira Noyes' factory. This
factory had patronage of about 500
cows. Soon after my milk went there
| learned by the man that drew it that
Mr.. Noycs' chcese-maker was testing my
milk about every day. He said was
sending about one-third more milk per
COW than any other patron, and thought
there must be something wrong. ! now
have an affidavit from Geo. 5. Briggs,
Mr.. N6yes' cheese-maker, stating that he
tested my milk nearly every day while
sent there, and that each and every time
it tested as well as any dairy they had,
and much better than most Of them; the
next season sent my milk to the Fin
ster factory at Tacoma, owned and oper-
ated by /. G. Finstcr. This factory is
one Of the largest and considered one of
the best in the country Ny milk was
repeatedly tested by Mr. Finster, and
have his affidavit that my milk tested
better than any milk sent to his factory.
My mature cows give from 40 to 50 lbs.
of milk each, per day, of good quality"
Numerous other proofs could be given
from parties both here and in Europe
showing that the Iiolstein cow has no
superior if her equal as cheese produc.

Mrs. VIM. NJ. singerly OF Philadelphia
had fatted several IIolstein steers and
COWS, they were killed by one Of Phila-
delphia's best butchers, and he pronoun-
ced the beef equal to the best in quality.
The . year old steers weighing over 400
lbs. and the COW over 100 lbs. and max

100 lbs.
Smiths, Powell & Lamb Of Syracuse,
have had several lIolsteins fatted and
this is what Messrs. w. & J. Fase, Of
Syracuse, " v says I'VE have been in
the meat business for the last % years
and have killed all grades of cattle, the
best We could find in this country, but
never have we had any that would canal
in quality those purchased Of you. We
have had Il great many compliments
from the leading families in the city in
regard to IIolstein beef"

OF the twelve. The yearling IIolstein
steers live weight was 1880 lbs; grain

they have no superior, and it is a qnes-
ton if any other breed is their equal. as
1t has often been said that IIolstein veals
are quoted highest in the English mar
kets.
And now We would like TO know what
other breed Of cattle that can produce as
much milk, as much cheese, az much
butter, and as much beet rs the IIolstein-

the llolatein is the best for the general
farmer. Respectfully,
