and selection a race of cattle has been
developed farfamed for an abundant
yield of milk and distinguished by a Pc
culiar red color
In 1864 there was a general uprising
in favor Of improved stock and with
the widespread use Of ice in dairying
about 1870 and the Introduction of CO.
operative creameries and centrifugal
machines in 1880 Denmark took high
rank as dairy country. There are
about $50 societies interested in the i'm
provement of red Danish cattle. The
light red color SO common at first has
given way to q darker tone, and the
red and white COWS are now seldom
seen. The red Danish breed is almost
unique to the Danish islands, is also
distributed to great extent in Jutland
and is constantly gaining favor in Fin
land and Russia The total number Of
this breed throughout Denmark is $780,
600 or more
The cattle are of a marked dairy
type, symmetrically built, with small
conspicuous markings. White spots oc
casionally appear on the belly, but not
elsewhere The udder is we'll develop
ed; teats shapely and we'll placed. The
skin is moderately fine loose and soft,
while the hair is soft and dense. Con-
siderng the degree Of Improvement,
the breed is hardy. Cattlemen always
inure the young cattle by constant So
journ in the open air, where they are
frequently exposed to the wind and
rain. Even during the severe winter
weather they are, as rule, turned out
every day. The COWS look somewhat
like tie Jersey, but are much coarser.
They often produce 40 pounds Of milk
per day and are dry only three weeks
each season The bulls are darker IN
color than the COWS, with black points,
and somewhat resemble the Sussex.
The butter made by the cooperative
creameries Of Denmark is packed in
tubs and sent to the central station for
export. The producers are paid &C
cording to the prevailing market price
for butter. The pasteurized skimmlk
is sent back to the farmers to be fed
to the pigs and calves. Ice is gathered
from the hundreds of lakes each win
ter, ac1 even through the hottest
weather tEeDanish creameries make
the very best Of butter and command
the best European market. The COWS
are tested with tuberculin and are Civ
en- the very best OF care. The pas
lures are not so rich as in some coun-
tries, but, supplemented with grain.
COWS are heavy producers. The aver
age COW weighs from 1000 to 1900
pounds. while the bulls range from
| 900 to 500 pounds.

HOWTO SELECT GOOD COWS
The Milk of Every Animal Must Ee
Weighed and Tested,

The Milk of Every Animal Must Ee
Weighed and Tested.
1t needs no argument to show that il
requires good COWS to secure a profit Ia
dairying, says an old dairyman ic
American Agriculturist. Now COWS are
selected and maintained in dairy herds
almost universally on the Judgment
of the dairyman. If cow pleases
man, he takes and keeps her until
her years of usefulness are over. He
does not inquire about her record, as
no records are kept. It does not occur
to the dairyman that there may be a
great difference in the individuality or
the herd thus secured, a difference So
great that some individuals only will
yield profit and others will be kepr
at loss. If this question is raised, not
one dairyman in a thousand takes the
trouble to weigh and test the milk OF
each COW in order to satisfactorily an
swer the question.
Four years ago we secured a herd
of 25 COWS. None Of these COWS hav-
Ing a record, they were purchased or.
the judgment of the men who selected
them. A committee of Jersey breeders
sent us four Jerseys. In the same way
three Guernseys and four Ayrshires
were selected. The remainder of the
herd were grades. Some were raised on
the farm and others purchased. An
accurate record was kept Of this herd.
Oh s,1I al, xx,;4 -
the food she consumed at market price
and in addition with the cost of labor
expended in her case. Credit was Civ
en- for the butter produced and for the
skimmilk The variation in the indi-
viduality of these cows was shown by
the years record. In the production of
milk the range was from S,55S pounds
to 3,141 pounds; in butter from 500
pounds to 165 pounds; in net profit
from 1926 profit to $1S.63 loss The
six poorest cows were kept at money
loss of $6747 and the six most profita-
BILE at profit Of $14S.7S
1t is a rule scarcely without excep-
ton that when records of individuals
in herd are kept for the first time
some animals are found running the
dairymen in debt and others yielding
very little profit. 1t is conservative
estimate, l believe, that 25 per cent Of
dairy COWS are kept at loss, Is to 20
per cent at little or no profit, while the
remainder only yield profit sufficient
to make up the loss of the improbable
ones and leave a small resulting profit.
Dairymen may correct their judg-
ment and secure better COWS by keep
ing records of the milk given by each
individual COW and the amount of fat
it contains, by forming in their minds
a better conception of the form and
outline of dairy COW. She should have
a long, deep barrel in order to store and
digest large amount of food. She
should have a good udder, SO that the
food transferred to the blood may find
room to be elaborated into milk. She,
should have light front and rear quar-
tiers and carry little flesh, showing
disposition to transform her food into
milk and not into flesh.

SCRUBS AND GRADES.
Words Which Are Often Improperly
Used by Breeders.

The words "cross Bred" properly
speaking, should refer to an animal
the result of crossing two distinct
breeds, as, for example, a pure Short
horn bull on q pure Hereford cow. II,
however. a Shorthorn bull were used
on cow that was threefourths Short
horn, should call the cow grade
and would say that this breeding was
grading up rather than crossing. But
when men who have Poland-China
sows that are pure bred or nearly so
and they mate them with a Chester
breeds, says G, S. Plumb in Rural New
Yorker.
The word scrub" is often unfairly
used This word is meant to apply to
a very low grade class Of animals.
There are many very fine grade ami
mails. representing really good deal
of careful breeding and possessing con-
sidera bic fixed character. Such ami
mails ought never to be called scrubs.
They are grades. and in cases where
pure bred males Of the same breed have
been used on the females persistently
for some years they are high grades,
though according to the modern ideas
of breeding associations they will new
err become pure bred. | wish to go fur
Their, however, and state that the word
scrub, in my opinion, should mean any
animal Of inferior type and character.
On this basis we have many pure bred,
registered animals that are scrubs CT
the truest type. far worse in every
sense than many grade ones. 1t is too
bad that this is so, but such is the fact,
as any person who is fair minded, ia
milar with many pure bred animals.
will testify Consequently it need not
imply that because an animal is pure
bred and registered it is superior In
dividual, 1t may yet be first class
scrub.

London, April 1G.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria.
April Is: Colonel Sir Henry Rawlin-

northwest Of Klerksdorp, at daylight.
Six Beers were killed, ten wounded
and twenty three taken prisoners. He
captured twelve-pounder, one pom
pom complete, and two ammunition
wagons with ammunition. Our casual
ties were three wounded.
Colonel Plumer captured a field
cornet and seven men, with ten wag-

There is no confirmation of the story
current yesterday that General French
and 500 men had been captured by
Beers during a fog, and it is not be-
lieved here.

The original cattle Of Denmark were
neglected until about the middle of the
century, as grain raising was the chief
occupation of the Denmark farmer,
says American Agriculturist. The stock
was kept on poor pasture during the
summer and compelled to live on. straw
largely during the winter. The present
farmers found, however, that if the
fertility of their soil was to be main
tanned they must go into stock raising
and decided to take up dairying, as this
was considered quite profitable. The
Sleswick breed was chosen as a start
ing point, and by close interviewing
