LaudS HoLstein
Tristan Breed
Exhibited Here

Here's a testimonial regarding the
Inter State fair by c. A. Kurtze, sec
Rotary OF the Indiana Holstein asso-
ciation. which speaks for itself
The Holstein- Tristan cattle show
at the South Bend fair was a larger
and higher quality show than either
the Indiana or Ohio state fair had.
There were cattle exhibited at this
show that were not only Of the high
est quality, but Of the best blood
lines. The breeders of St Joseph
and EIkhart county take pride in
showing the black and white COW.
The show attracted considerable at
tention from the visitors present.
The demand for these dairy cattle
is on the increase. New members
are added TO the list of breeders
every week. The Holstein COW has
proven herself to be the ideal dairy
COW. and her milk is the most nUtri-
tious of any COW milk. Northern
Indiana has some of the best cows
of the breed in the state, and the
year-old heifer of G. /. Reamer,
Walkerton, is an exceptional heifer,
and should be exhibited at the ma
tional dairy show. The Indiana
Holstein- Friesian association gave
two silver trophies as specials. The
one for best bull calf was won by
Zeitler & Wenrick, and the one for
best heifer calf by Z. c. Laidlaw.

day in South Bend either the last OF
October or first of November
