Dual Purpose ShOrthOrns at the
Fairs.

Editor CALIFORNIAN:
At this season of the year, after con-
sentative review of the fall fairs, and
before the time appointed for the direc-
tors of said fairs to meet, it might be
we'll to call attention to what appears
TO be a serious defect in the methods en-
ployed in Judging one class of cattle, at
least. | refer to the scoring of Short
horn cattle on beef merits only.
Facts and figures have amply demon
strated that we have long since passed
the stage where denial of the existence
of dual purpose type is consistent, and
the Shorthorn, possessing milking quail
ties, to a profitable degree, is generally
regarded as the best representative OF
this type Many farmers throughout
New England, becoming convinced OF the
superiority of breed of cattle possess
ing such two-fold characteristics, have
established herds, mostly from good
milking strains, like the Bates, Princess
and early American Importation families.
Today, with a large number of such
herds established in the east, absolutely
no encouragement is accorded this most
valuable type of cattle at the fairs,
Shorthorns shown being judged wholly
from beef standpoints, and the milkless
show COW, not myth but reality is
every year carrying off premiums sup
posed to be awarded with a view to the
improvement of agricultural interests.
In the west leading live stock experts,
like Joseph Wing and Prot. Thomas
Shaw, have long contended that the
dual purpose Shorthorns should be ac-
corded representation and appreciation,
and the milkless type, profitable only as
a show animal, and absolutely valueless
to the common farmer is beginning to
be regarded in it's true light To the
eastern farmer this milkless type, much
in evidence at the fairs, cannot for very
obvious reasons be a source OF revenue,
and while much is conceded as to the
possibilities of raising beef here in New
England, the dual purpose type should
certainly return the larger margin of
profit for a double revenue from beef and
milk, to a majority of farmers fills better
the purse than a single production in
either line.
At the Caledonia county fair the large
premiums in the Shorthorn classes have
brought out goodly showing of Scotch
herds 1t is only fair, however, that a
just share be devoted to bringing out the
dairy Shorthorns, and | am sure Treason
able inducement were given we should
see some good dual purpose herds there
next fall. lnasmuch as the American
Shorthorn Breeders association has
already offered prizes for this type at
certain fairs, some assistance might be
looked for from that source.
Eastern farmers have no use for a COW
that does not give enough milk to raise
a calf, but there is place for the Short
horn COW that acquits herself proftably
at the pail.
, Let US have a separate class for dairy
Shorthorns at the fair next fall They
deserve share in the representation and
appreciation accorded the breed.
