Genuine shortEorn Form With Great
Milk Making.

Milk Making.
Instances of the possibility Of beef
and milk production combined with
real Shorthorn character are noted In
the Breeders Gazette, Chicago. by
Sanders Spencer In connection with
the London dairy show recently closed.
He says:
One OF the most remarkable In
stances of this com animation won the
first prize for Lord Rothschild In the
class for Shorthorn cows entered or
eligible for entry in Coates herd
book This seven-year-old cow, Red
Rose I'LL, bred by William Bateman.
has had four calves, her last on Aug.
3, yet she gave 63.4 pounds of milk on
thes first day of the show. AS to her
form and character, she was a frst
rate specimen of a pure bred Short
horn. having deep compact body. on
short legs, we'll sprung ribs and un-
usually well developed hind quarters
and thighs in addition to a lovely shap-
ed udder This is without doubt q
dual purpose cow of the finest charac-
ter.
1t rested. however, with a Shorthorn
COW whose pedigree could not be traced
to furnish the most sensational re-
suits. This was Mr.. Nelson's Daisy,
seven years old. She has had four
calves, her last about six weeks prior
to the show. She was placed first in
her class In the milk trials, her yield
being Gil pounds of milk which pro-
duced four pounds and two ounces Of
butter, thus proving herself to be a
first rate milk COW and phenomenal
butter, cow.
The Hereford Advance.
The American Hereford Breeders as
sociation is making an advance move
ment for the benefit Of the white
face fraternity by opening up for
eign demand for registered Herefords.
Last year Secretary c. R. Thomas
made a trip to South America, and as
a result of the trip nice line of ex-
port trade to Buenos Ayres has be-
gun. Among recent shipments to one
Of the wealthy ranchmen of Buenos
Ayres was the junior champion bull
at the late American Royal show. So
says the Kansas Farmer, from which
1t is also learned that the board of di-
rectors appointed Hon. c. A. Stannard
Of Emporia and Secretary G. R. Thorn
as of Kansas City to purchase num-
ber of representative Herefords from
the breeders, and seventeen head were
sent to the City of Mexico in charge Of
Mr.. Stannard. He sold seven of the
bulls for $2,650 in gold, and the sale
of the balance was provided for. The
prices realized in this export trade are
very gratifying to the Hereford asso-
citation and breeders generally and
will no doubt result in the develop
ment of a large and lucrative trade
hereafter for the breeders of Hereford
cattle.
The Rise of the Lamb.
The handy weight lamb has succeed
and the change suits the producer as
well as the consumer. It is hard to buy
the old time heavy mutton chops now
In any meat market. There are some
old fashioned consumers who regret
this change. Recently there were secur-
ed three heavy chops at cost Of $1.05
for the three, but they were chops to de-
light the old timers-big, thick and
rich. But this kind of mutton is not in
favor. 1t is expensive to produce, and
it is gradually becoming scarcer in our
markets. This is the day of the lamb,
with its handy carcass, not too heavy
nor too fat.
