that drenching cattle is a dangerous
practice Therefore, if cows head be
raised as high as possible and her mouth
kept open, by the drenching bottle or
horn, portion of the liquid is very apt
to pass down the wind-pipe into the
lungs, sometimes causing instant death
by smothering. At other times causing
death to follow in few days from con-
gestion or inflammation of the lungs.
We are constantly receiving letters at
this office describing the sudden death
of animals that were ailing with such
minor ailments as constipation or loss of
appetite, and upon investigation find that
they had been drenched and the cause
of their death was due to same. This
is oftentimes proved by sending out
one of our assistant veterinarians to
hold post -mortem upon such animals,
only to find that portion of the drench
was still in the lungs; other cases where
leath had been prolonged and later the
"nimal had died of mechanical pneu-
monia.
I do not feel that the stock raisers of
his country realize the danger in drench-
ing cattle and the enormous financial
loss brought about by same.

Spring is the natural season for cows
to drop their calves, and the COWS should
be bred so as to drop their calves in the
early spring, and then when the COWS
are turned to pasture in the spring the
calves are old enough to 60 with them
and thus have advantages for making
rapid growth and require very little at

HoLsTE1N FRtESIAN CATTLE.
By John M. Scott.

This famous breed of dairy cattle has
been known in the past by several differ
efit names, such as Holland Cattle, North
Hdllanders, Dutch Cattle, Holsteins
Dutch Friesian, Netherland Cattle, and
Holstein Friesian. The last name was
adopted about twenty-five years ago.
Like many other breeds they derived
their name from their home land. His
tory records that before the Christian
era two tribes were located on the shores
of the North Sea, one possessing black.
and the other a white race of cattle.
These two races of cattle became ANAL
gamated, the result of which has given
us the well known black and white cat
tie of north Holland, now known as
Holstein Friesians.
For a thousand years or more these
cattle have been noted as heavy milk pro-
ducers. AS time went on they not only
maintained their past record, but are
today OUR heaviest mixers. Imagine a
cow producing in one year more than
twenty times her own weight in milk
and more than her own weight in but
ter! Such is the record of the Holstein
cow Colantha 4th's Johanna.
lust when the first Of these cattl,
were brought to America is not definite
~ Known, but the records show that
there were some three or four importa
tions before 1850. About 1860 impor
tations were made to Massachusetts
Since that time the offspring from these
has been kept pure.
Sizes--In size the Holstein Friesians
are the largest of the dairy breeds, in
fact they almost rank in size with the
beef breeds. The COWS weigh from ] 900
to l,50O, with an average of about 1880
pounds, while the bulls weigh 1900 to
$500 pounds, some Individuals weighing
nearly 5000 pounds. The large size of
these animals is due mostly to the care
selection and good treatment they have
received in their native home. They are
well fed and we'll cared for, from birth
until they are sold for beef. The COWS
;as a rule are retained for milk produc-
tion in their native land until seven or
eight years old. At about this age they
are supposed to have passed the preiod
eof most economical milk production and
are fattened and sold for beef. their
place in the dairy herd being filled by
younger animals.
Color.-The Holstein Friesian cattle
must have no other color than black and
white to be eligible to register. On
some animals the black predominates,
on others the white is in excess. The
two colors are not intermixed, the lines
of demarcation being very clean and
distinct
Milk.-In milk production the Hol
stems have long been noted. To-day
they rank first in quantity, but not in
quality (richness), though now and then
individual COWS are found that produce
milk fairly rich in butter fat. At the
present time Holstein cow, Calantha

their songs. There were some elder
people with them. but not many. and
they did as they pleased At first this
was very pleasant, but before many
days a good many of them began to
grow footsOre and homesick. Some OF
the younger ones especially were sorry
that they had come and would have
gone home again if they had dared TO
leave the army and try to find their
way back home. A few Of the older
ones dropped out and went back to
their parents, and this continued so
long as the march lasted, as the places
of those who left were filed by re-
cruits who joined the march along the
way. so that the whole number was not
lessened.
1t was very dry summer. which was
lucky for the children, as they would
have had a hard time of it in the rain
and mud 1t was bad enough in the
dust and heat. and you may be sure
that their legs ached when they had
finished a days march. and they were
glad enough TO throw themselves on
the ground wherever they happened TO
be and to go to sleep. no matter how
hungry they were 1t Is likely that
most of the army would have gone
home again before 1T reached the sea
if the children had understood how far
they had to go. But most of them were

very singular how much the children
wanted TO go. 1t seemed sometimes

So from all quarters the children
gathered to the city of Vendome- There
were so many thousands of them that
all France thought of little else that
summer. The king himself became

the crusaders should return to their
parents, for he feared that if so many

try to enforce it, for the only way
would have been to send soldiers and
it was better to let the children go
70 LII
BY no means all the children who
gathered for the crusade were the sons
or daughters of shepherds and farmers.
OF course, many of them came from
the farms, but perhaps as many
more came from the towns and
cities. and some came even from
the castles where lived the knights
and barons who owned the great
er part OF the country. A great
hind them comfortable homes. and some
of them had servants to wait upon them
during their march.
Stephen of Cloyes was waiting at
Vendome when they arrived there He
was no longer the lonely shepherd boy
that he had been when he journeyed to
st. Denys. He was now dressed in rich
garments, and when lie travelled it was
not on foot but in rich chariot drawn
by four white horses. The chariot was
hung with costly cloth and it had a
canopy to keep the sun from the head
of the boy prophet. Around it rode a
small band of lads who came from rich
and noble families and who could afford
to ride. They paid the greatest defer
ence to Stephen, obeying his least word
and gladly waiting upon him when he
happened to want anything. If his
neighbors of the little village from
,inb he, had hav- III,
in his gay chariot they would have been
surprised enough.
There were $4,000 children gathered
in and about Vendome when the army
was ready to start. There Were so many

infidels saw them they would throw
down their weapons, fall upon their
knees and embrace the faith. What
would be the joy of the poor Christians
who were being besieged in the cities
and towns which they still managed to
hold against the rage of the Moham-
medansl How the miserable prisoners,
who had been made slaves, would thank
and bless them for their deliverance
And how their fathers and mothers
would rush to meet them on their
triumphant return! There would be
no doubt that all France would honor
them, and that because of the service
they had performed anything that they
might want would be gladly given to
them.
Such were the promises made by
Stephen of C1oyes, standing bareheaded
under the blue May sky among the
wondering pilgrims to the shrine OF ST.
Denys. And soon these pilgrims re-
turned to their homes. carrying with
them the wonderful tale of the boy
who was preaching a new crusade OF
children for the rescue of the Holy
Land and the Christian captives whose
cries for help had met with no re-
sponse from the knights and rulers or
the land. Other pilgrims sought the
shrine and carried the strange story
home with them in their turn until lt
was spread far and wide through all
France and even into the country OF
Germany and across the water to Eng
land. Boys who had beep to the shrine
with their parents and had there heard
Stephen preach repeated what he had
said They began to gather bands
about them with the intention OF join
ing the army. which was to meet at
the city of Vendome before beginning
its march to the sea.
At first the older people laughed
saying that the children would soon
grow tired of their nonsense" and give
up their plan of trying to conquer the
pagans But time passed and instead
of dying out the excitement and en-
thusiasm aroused by the shepherd boy
continued to increase. Hundreds of
boys, and many girls even, unwilling
not to have a share in an enterprise
which they believed was to be so
glorious, left their homes and gathered
about the leaders. Each band carried
a copy of the sacred orifamme of ST.
Denys as Stephen had instructed them,
and each boy wore upon his shoulder
q cross sewed on his coat to show that
he was a true crusader. Some of the
boys carried candles Of wax which they
lighted, especially in the evening. 9th
ers had slaves in their hands. AS they
marched they sang songs of what they
were going to do. People gathered in
the streets of the towns and along the
sides of the roads in the country to see
them pass. Wherever they went they
were compelled to beg their food and
sometimes they went hungry. although
usually the people were glad to supply
them with enough to eat. Some thought
they were foolish to undertake their
journey; others believed what stephen
said, and predicted that they would
return in triumph.
Wherever they went more children
joined them and their numbers con-
stantly increased. In some cases their
fathers and mothers did not object
to their going, but often they did
