DAIRY BREEDS.
Some Of the Leading Types That Make
Dairying Profitable.


Edward Van Alstyne, who was head
of the dairy department of the Pan
American fair, is a firm believer in the
special purpose COW. From his expert
ence Mr.. Van .Alstyne considers the
Holstein, the Ayrshire and the Jersey
or Guernsey the leading types of dairy
breeds. The Holstein, he finds, will
produce a quart of milk at less cost
than any other breed and is well adapt
ed to those who wish to produce milk
at low cost regardless of richness and
will supply plenty of food without oblig
ing the COW to hustle for a living. Ac-
cOrding to Mr. Van Alstyne, the Ayr
shire is well adapted to hill pastures
and on such locations ought not to be
supplanted by the Holstein. The milk Is
richer in solids and fat and the COW
better adapted to finding her own liv-
ing in rough pastures. The milk is
we'll balanced in composition and de-
sirable for cheesemaking, and the COW
is of good constitution and occupies a
place between the Holstein and the
Channel island breeds.
The Jerseys and Guernseys are very
much alike and are classed about
equally in Mr.. Van Alst,-nos estima-
ton. They are, above all, good butter
cows. The Holsteins at the Pan-Amer
lean exposition made more pounds of
butter than the channel breeds, but it
cost - cents pound where the Jer-
seys and Guernseys made It for 8
cents, and they are accordingly the
best breeds for the man who wishes
to make butter. Not only Is the milk
richer, but it creams more readily and
can be handled to better advantage
after the cream Is obtained. 1t can
be churned with less trouble from tenn
perature and other conditions. The
color is also better, especially In Will
ter, the Guernsey breed being the only
breed that produces high colored but
ter during the winter season.
For the dairyman stocking his farm
Mr.. Van Alstyne advises that the start
be made with pure bred stock if pos
sible Although the first cost is high
er, such stock is more likely to breed
true and produce better quality. The
surplus young stock, too, can be sold
for much higher price than grade
stock, but as far as the yield of milk
and butter is concerned it is possible
to get about as good results by breed
ing up Il herd of choice grades with a
pure bred sire. The choice of breeds
should be such as suits the require
ments of the dairyman, his farm and
pasture condition, his market and the
class of product to be turned out

is the way to avoid milk fever, garget

A good pedigree is fine thing in
man or beast, but when it comes to
cows it is well to look at the udder and
the general build of the animal, for
pedigree alone will not fill the milk
pail.

Curing Warts on Teats,

Noticing that lots of people want to
know what to do for warts on COW
teats, I will tell you some Of my
experience, writes dairyman in
Hoards Dairyman. We buy cows
sometimes that have warty teats, and
they go away in about a month or
more. We all milk with our hands
dry, and l think that is what cures
them. Let some of those that have
got warty teats on their cows look
to their hands instead Of the doctor,
and think the warts will disappear.
There might be other causes for warty
teats, but this is one Of them.
