In earlier times this breed was known
As the Suffolk polled, and they were then
small. Their characteristic was, how
ever, that which distinguishes the best
red polls of today; for they were mixers
OF great staying power, giving milk rich
in butter fats, with a goodly proportion
of caseine. rather than cattle which pro-
duced a heavy flow of milk of medium
quality and then dried quickly.
The efforts of the earliest breeders
were directed to the improvement Of the
fattening quality of the Suffolk, with
the retention Of the breeds valuable milk
and butter producing characteristics.
To the Royal Agricultural Society of
England belongs the credit of determin-
ing what should henceforth be deemed
the true representation of the East An
glian polled cattle. II was not until
1868 that any very definite regulations
regarding color, as one Of the qualifca-
tions of this breed, were laid down.
Since about 1910 the red polled have
been developed into much heavier stock
without any addition to the useless lum-
Der of the carcass. The fifty stone Of
old days have been increased to eighty
and even ninety stone for steers. The
live weight of bulls has occasionally con.
siderably exceeded a ton.
In the cut is shown a COW that had. in
England, an almost unbeaten record.

THE VALUE OF PUMPKINS.
Their Chemical Composition - How
Feed Them to Cows, Pigs and Sheep.

Their Chemical Composition = How to
Feed Them to Cows. Pigs and Sheep.
The feeding value of yellow field pump
kins for mich cows, hogs and sheep is
based upon the amount of dry matter in
100 pounds, as well as on the chemical
composition of that matter. The whole
pumpkin has about SO per cent. water
and II dry matter; 0.6 of l per cent. of
this is albuminoids, 9.S carbohydrates,
OIL fat and l ash. The value of this
when figured in the ordinary way is
about 10 cents per 100 pounds, but as
the pumpkin contains little poetic
acid, which becomes digester of other
food and gives it an additional value, it
may be said that good ripe pumpkins
are worth 10 TO 12 cents per 100 pounds
to feed in moderate quantity with other
food in the milk ration or for fattening.
A small quantity of pumpkins gives a
relish and improves the flavor of the
milk. But with reference TO the effect
)f the seeds, care must be taken if the
seeds are fed to cows that they are
mixed evenly with the rest of the pump
kin. The seeds are given in some cases
Is diuretic medicine Their action is
apt to be on the kidneys. and dairymen
ltien saw that their cows shrink in their
mix when freely fed with pumpkins.
And if the seeds get separated so the
'nws eat more than the natural proper
ZION Of seeds, this effect upon the kid
neys would naturally affect the secre-
zion of milk
II
The Chinese eat pumpkin seeds be-
tween the courses of dinner, and these
are probably taken as an appetizer and
digester. These seeds are rich in nj
trogen and oil and very nutritious
Some feeders have been very successful
in fattening pigs with small allowance
of pumpkin seeds in connection with
other food These seeds used as a part
of the food for poultry would fatten
them rapidly. 1t should not constitute
more than one-fifth To one-fourth of the
food given 10 poultry. The dry matter
in pumpkin seeds and the stringy parts
amount to about 25 per cent, or more
than double that of the whole pumpkin.
The nutritive value of the seeds, per
weight, is four times as much as that
of the body of the pumpkin without the
seeds In connection with the forego-
ing, Country Gentleman says: If pump
kins were sliced up or pulped, so that
the seeds would be all mixed in evenly,
there would Der no danger in feeding
them to cows, other cattle or hogs, and
1t would be a very desirable addition
when combined with other foods.
