MIX Tests.


Horr, at the recent Ohio State Fair, IN OF
der to receive full report Of the milk tests.
With very slight preparation, and with
out any expensive fitting Mr.. Hor took
to the Fair sixteen animals from his large
herd OF Hols,ein- Friesi1n cattle. lie had
to contend with some of the finest herds
Of Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Four
herds exhibited ANIMALS that had been
specially fitted, at great expense, with a
view to contesting for prizes at as many
of the large lairs TO be held during the
iall as possible. Some Of these herds had
met with great success, as was clearly
proven by numerous red and blue ribbons
that decorated their stalls. Notwithstand-
ing these disadvantages, Mr.. Horr won a
fair proportion of the premiums offered
Aside from the milk tests, he was cred
tied with two first and three second prizes
The great interest, however, 30 far as
dairy breeds were concerned, centered IN
the milk tests" These contests were
conducted under the supervision, and in
the immediate presence, CT Prof. J.F
Hickman Of the Ohio State University.
At five o'clock Monday evening, Sept
Is, the i've COWS entered as contestants for
prizes offered in the milk tests, were led
into the ring and milked clean in the
presence Of the committee. During the
next three days, at precisely o'clock 10
the morning and at 8 in the evening, the
COWS were brought into the same ring, the
pals were carefully weighed, and the
milking then took place in the presence of
the committee and the public. Each cows
milk was weighed BY Prof. Hickman and
the weights carefully recorded.
1t would occupy too much space for us
70 give the somewhat elaborate rules un-
der which the tests were conducted. First
and second premiums were offered,-frst,
for greatest yield OF milk; second, for
greatest yield of fat (butter); third,
for greatest yield of solids, including fats
fourth, for greatest yield OF milk and sol
ids. Each contest was to be decided by
points credited to each COW in accordance
with the published rules governing the
contests. The following was the result:

From the foregoing, ii will be seen that
Mr.. Horr's COW, Lady Of Lyons" won
the four first premiums, and that his COW
Nundine I'd, out of the celebrated COW
Nundine and sired by the famous Aaggie !
bull, Neptune, won the four second |
premiums.
To appreciate fully the victories won |
by Nundine I'd, the fact should be borne
in mind that she calved on the 18th Of |
Feb. and had to compete with COW that
calved Sept, Cd and with another one that
calved May 22d. The performance Of Mr..
HorT's two cows, under all the circum.
stances, was phenomenal. Lady OF Lyons,
MIXED only twice day, and led nothing |
green except little poor corn fodder
averaged for the three days nearly GO lbs. |
per day. Nundine Cd, after she had been |
MIXED about seven months, averaged 43 |
lbs. per day. In view Of the disturbance
10 which these cows had to be subjected |
by reason Of shipment to Columbus,
change Of stalls and feed, and OF the fact |
that they were only milked twice day.
while theyhad previously been MIXED
three times per day, AIr. Horr has right
10 feel very proud Of their performance
As We write this notice, and perhaps
as result OF the victories won by the
herd, at the recent State Fair,
Mr. Hor is shipping five head Of two and
three -year-old heiferS which he has just
sold. we.understand that the Bawndale
herd now comprises, counting old and
young, 1888 head Of registered Holstein-
Friesian cattle.
