Particular attention is being paid to the
schoolboy competitions. The real Olympic
contests however, will come the last Sat

tested at the last Olympic meeting held in
Paris in 1900

athletic associations are delighted at the
Presidents decision to accept the honorary
presidency. When the games were held in
Athens in 1896 the King of Greece attended

family presented prizes to the winners.

sentatives of the French government held

in pretty fair business. He knows
thing or two. He knows the demand
for Shorthorns of this type, he knows
the value of the dual-purpose cow, he
has proved it in his own herd, ne I'M
derstands that a double profit may be

many a farmer in this country is look
ing for just such farmers cow. A
few have biven persistent adherence to
this valuable type, but thoughtful men
now understand that much has been
lost to the breed by lack of more gen
eral interest in the perpetuatlon OF the
milking Shorthorn in this country. II
there is any more inviting field OF Ell

Dual Purpose Shorthorns.

The breeder of the Shorthorn that
makes both beef and milk should not
feel discouraged if any one tells him
his class of cattle is going out OF exist
ence. 1t is true that the milking strain
of the Shorthorn has been growing less
and less in numbers, and we need re-
yival. In our country the value OF this
strain is not so we'll appreciated as is
the case over in Great Britain. AT
least two-thirds of the cattle OF that
country are of this type. They make
milk and butter with the best, and at
the same time breed calves which make
steers of the best butcher type. We
hear that there are several herds or
this type in the New England states,
Int few elsewhere. One herd in Mas
sachusetts tracing to Arabefla has had
ton crosses of the Princess, the Ouch
ess the Constance and the Waterloo
families. and shows COWS weighing
from 1000 to 1900 pounds, with milk
records of 40 to so pounds per day, and
very persistent mixers, some making

are smooth and we'll f1eshed, the object
of the breeder being to obtain beef and
dairy qualities.

the lament over the lack of effort to
perpetuate and improve that type,
comes the report of recent sale In
England of a herd of 80 pedigreed
shorthorns at an average of nearly
s215. Concerning the character q
these cattle the London Live Stock
Journal offers the following interesting
testimony:
"The Crawford herd is one OF the
largest pure-bred ones in the south OF
England and is we'll known for its ex-
cellent milking qualities. The animals
offered were not made up for sale, but
came straight from the meadows, where
they are kept both in summer and win
ter. 1t would be difficult to find herd,
kept under the same conditions by
tenant farmer, displaying such excel
lent quality and such hardy and yet
serviceable character, and that these
are appreciated was proved by the
number of buyers and their spirited
bidding"
