BLACK AND
WHITE DAY

Richmond. March 19.-The prlyers
of those faithful black and white
breeders we're answered. We had a
fine day. and therefore successful
day on Wednesday. During the lat
ter part of the forenoon You could
see herds of black and white cattle
coming from every direction all
headed for the tithing yard corrals.
The exhibition response from the
the dairymen was all that could be
asked and really more than was ex-
pected There were 264 head on ex-
hibition all black and whites. The
dairy cows and sires were mostly
tied to the fence or loose in temper
airy corralls. Immediately west of
the entrance we're Henry Chrstoffer-
sons herd of pure breds, fine lot
of cattle well kept. Then came Mr..
Rufus Packs pure bred herd. These
two herds with few others, filed
space of little over block. North
of the entrance were some of the
Nelson Bros. great herd. With this
herd was Rag Apple Korndike, the
company sire-that is three quar-
ter brother to the sire from the New
York Dollar herd which sold at auc-
ton last winter for $4,000. There
were about 100 head of pure breds
young and old on exhibition. A finer
lot of dairy cattle cannot be found
anywhere in the west.
AS to grades, j. w. Hendricks
had fine display OF 43 head of COWS
and heifers. Mr.. Hendricks has
nearly 100 head all black and white
in his dairy herd. Here Is an actual
concrete example of what can be
done with a dairy herd by keeping
a good pure bred sire at the head all
the time-not part of the time but
all the time. Prof. Game in speaking
of this herd picked out COWS which
had wonderful dairy confirmation 1t
would be hard to beat them in any
herd of grades or pure breds.
Webb Brothers also had on exhi.
bition 10 head of fine grade cows.
c. p. Aylsworth had seven head
of the finest looking best kept, pure
breds on the grounds.
Among other exhibitors were c. l..
Funk, ]. L. McCarrey, Fred White,
A. l.. and A.. e. Harris, Kerr Pros.
and number Of others whose names
we did not get. A unique feature
was an exhibition of fine sucking
calves by Fred Whittle. These were
confined in hay rack pen on wheels
on either side Of which was a stream.

The afternoon was one of revela
ton, instruction and pleasure to stu
dents, visitors and dairymen. This
day was the beginning of what will
one day be q national feature in the
dairy industry of the Rocky Mountain
states.
There Is no reason under the sun
why Cache should not produce the
greatest dairy COWS In America and
become the great "Elgin" of the
west. All we need is more farmers
who will feed and breed. There Is
good money in dairying right, there
Is no profit in dairying wrong. The
dual purpose COW argument SHOULD
be eliminated from dairy districts
1t means discouraged dairymen, $3(
cows. and death to the dairy indus
try. These were some OF the argu
ments put forth by Professors Car
rol and Ball in their talks at the
open air impromptu meeting.
Among visitors noticed were Pro
fessors Game, Carroll and Ball. A
number OF the U. A.. C. dairy elias.
