Holsteln- Friesian cattle are RAPIDLY
occupying the richer and more impor-
tant dairy srctiOns Of this country,
hence there is a great demand for i'll
formation in regard 10 them.
They were introduced from the p.ov-
inccs Of North Holland and Friesland
a section Of the Kingdom Of Nether-
lands bordering on the North Sea COM
monty called Holland. The dairymsa
of these provinces are descendants Of
tho ancient Friesians, and their cattle
are Hneal descendants Of The cirue
bred by them two thousand years ago.
Flom the earliest account of dairy
husbandry these cattle have been used
and developed for dairy purposes.
North Holland has been mainly de-
voted 90 cheese production. and Fries
hand TO butter production. As ar H.
lustration of the extent Of the latter
production the following statistics are
quoted from Chambers Tncyclope,lia.
The area az Friesland is / 253 square
miles (53 less than the State Of Rhode
Lsland). In 1874 England imported from
Friesland 1888 cwt. Of cheese and
266,0h cwt of butter" Refused to
pounds these impOrtations were $3.50
f56 pounds Of cheese and 29,796,592
pounds Of butter. In 1879 the number
of cows in B'riesland was 1A.s02. As
Stunning an equal number in 1874. this
/ importation of butter from Friesland
was AN average Of POS s-4 pounds
for all the COWS, old and young, owned
in that province. Even II there were
no home consumption and no sales to
other countries, these exports alone
sufficiently demonstrate the great ca
pactty OF this breed. This breed $
found IN more countries occupyine
more Territory and probably pro1poine
moro milk. cheese and butter than aii
