of the IL animals shown.
The dairy strain of Shorthorns, the
kind that pay their way in cream
checks, was well represented by the
herd belonging to George w. Fisher of
Dummerston, VT, who had Is head on
the grounds. His new yearling BULL
Clumbia Clown III, was an excellent type
Of the dairy Shorthorn and his progeny
will no doubt be heard from in later
years. Crown s dam made 44.pound
milk record at test of per cent. and
his grand dam record of 3l2 pounds
of milk and l7h pounds of butter in
a week. Among the other members of
Mr.. Fishers herd was the seven-year.
old cow, Lady Gale, that won second
in the butter test here two years ago.
The dairy Shorthorns of George Z.
Taylor & Son of Shelburne, Mass,
came to the fore in that breed and won
a major part of the ribbons The herd
was founded in ls4S and has been bred
continually since along the same lines.
IL has been the aim of the Taylors to
produce animals of good size, smooth,
evenly turned and easily fattened. In
this they have been very successful, at
the same time keeping in mind the
dairy qualities. Their herd was headed
by the two.year-old bull, Baron Bon
ton, purchased in Ontario last fall. He
is by imported Knuckle buster out of
Grey Blanche, and is an individual of
great quality The Taylor herd has
been very successful on the circuit this
year, winning the Evarts silver cup
against seven other herds at Windsor
as well as FIVE firsts and six seconds out
of nine. classes.
| No herd on the grounds was admired
more than the Highlawn herd of Hol-
stems, the property of F. p. Knowles
of Auburn, Mass. Despite the fact that
they have been on the circuit for over
month the cattle were in excellent
condition and showed the best Of care.
The bull at the head was the fouryear-
old Count Lincoln De Kol, winner of
first at Buffalo as a two.year.old and
second at St Louis. Among the cows,
Clothilde Mercedes Tritomia received
much attention on account of her phe-
nomenal udder development. She has
butter record of 20 pounds. Others
worthy of mention were Huntress C., a
five-year-old with a record of is pounds
and fraction; Aaggie Cornelia, a nice
two-year.old heifer by Canary Meree
des Son; and three calves, all under
week old.
F. f. Stevens of Glens Falls, n. Y,
showed two herds of excellent quality
one composed of 10 Normandies and the
other of 10 Dutch Belted cattle. The |
bull at the head of the Normandy herd
was the five-year-old Jack with a three.
year.old and yearling bull next to him. !
Among the cows was Lady Hegire that
won everything at the New York state |
fair. The Dutch Belted herd was head |
ed by the four-year-ol Echo, and in |
cluded the two year-old bull Billy Hunt
and the cow Pansy Hunt.
Thomas O. Taylor of Tilton, n. H., |
whose mammoth Herefords were one of |
the attractions of the cattle exhibit last |
year, was present again this year with
another splendid exhibit of this varie.
ty of beef cattle. His fve.year-old bull,
Daniel Webster, weighs 1900 pounds
and is probably as good Hereford bull
as there is in New England today. 1t
has been shown since a calf and never
yet failed to get in the blue ribbon
class. Mr.. Taylor had on exhibition
four cows that would average 1900
pounds in weight, the heaviest of the
quartet, Daisy, tipping the scales at
1920 pounds and having the honor OF
being the weightiest COW at the show.
Mr.. Taylor Herefords are extremely
docile and their sleek appearance at
tracted considerable attention.
Fourteen excellent Normandy cattle
were exhibited by the Forest Park farm
