We quote the following from the New
England Farmer Of recent date, as liable
to be of local interest because Of the fine
herd of 30 head owned by G.. Hall, Jr., b
Co. The article from which we quote 10
q report of the ten breeds of cows repre-
sented In six months test at the Pan
American exposition: The Holstein-
Fresians made $500 lbs. more milk than
their nearest competitor; made 88 lbs.
more butter and $8. 10 worth more than
their nearest competitor; made $64.97
more profit on total solids. $50 on worth
more profit on total solids, plus gain In
weight, than their nearest competitor.
These results were gained at an expendi-
ture of % 81 more for feed than the next
largest consumer. Does this demonstrate
ANYTHING but the truth Of what the late
Col. FL. G. Hoffman said 25 years ago
"The Holsteins will make more milk per
COW, more milk and beef, more milk and
butter per COW, and more Of each for the
worth of the feed than any breed or mix
ture of breeds known to America"
