Scrubs ana Thcroughbreds.

A NJ. Williams, writing to the New
York Independent, says it is very common
for persouS to designate our old-style cattle
by the common name of scrubs Thess are
always alluded to by class of writers in
contemptuous manner which does then
great injustice. This language has a bad
effect on the owners of such stuck. If it was
desired, it would be impossible to do away
with such stock at present, and substitute
any of the improved breeds Besides. if
possible, it would be very doubtful about
its BEING good policy. The farmer and the
dairyman would be very much benefited by
different style of language. They need
encouragement, and with more intelligent
management our native COW becomes an
excellent mixer, to say nothing of the fact
that there are peculiar circumstances under
which the old style stock are better adapted
to existing needs than any other style
could possibly be.
Fine cattle are undoubtedly the best to
have where circumstances admit of hand
ling them properly, yet it must be admitted
that their great goodness is often much ex-
aggerated. The extraordinary yield of
some of the thoroughbreds gives no idea of
the average capacity of the breed.
Mr.. Williams refers to some experiments
made with old-style cows in Onondaga, N.
Y. 1t was before the thorough oreds had
made any particular Roadway in that sec
ton. A few farmers began to gather in
some of the best milking cows they could
find, and, after testing them thoroughly

their future herd. As the young stock
grew up everything was carefully weeded
out that did not promise we'll This sys-
tenn was practiced many years, of raising
only from the best and keeping none but
the choicest. In connection with this care
full breeding was the most methodical feed
ing and good quarters for the animals, and
everything done on system. The cows were
MIXED at the same hour every day, one
hand always milking the same COW, and a
book was kept in which was recorded the
date, the name of the COW and the name of
the mixer, also the number of pounds of
milk. Whenever a COW fell much below
the standard it was known at once, and if
the fault was in the COW she left the dairy
at once. The grain was all fed by one man,
and different COWS received different guam
titles. How much grain to feed each cow
required a nice calculation to determine.
Neither size, age nor the amount of milk
she gave, would throw any light on the
subject To given COW certain quantity
gave the best product; more or less was
detriment. This quantity could only be
determined by experiment. Thus by proper
management was developed herd of cattle
much superior to the common run and
quite step toward equality with the i'm
ported stock. These cows were perfectly
hardy and exactly suited to their surround
ing. Certain tests made by these animals
excited the wonder of the surrounding peo-
pie.
Thus it may be seen, he says, that where
people will use proper Judgment in selecting
and breeding. and after management, diaries
may be developed without great expense,
and these will be free from many faults
common to the thoroughbreds.
