CLASS FOR sHoRTHoRNS.
Breeders Ask for Recognition at
Eastern States Exposition.

Breeders of milking Shorthorns have
petitioned the management of the
Eastern States Exposition and the
National Dairy Show to provide a
class for their animals in October,
and it is probable that for the first
time in the history of dairy shows
there will be six classes instead of five.
One of the petitioners is Walter S.
Pratt of Brattleboro.
This will be a distinct novelty and
due entirely to the enterprise of New
England men. The recognized dairy
breeds are the Jerseys, Holstein-
t'riesians, Guernseys, Brown Swiss ami
Ayrshires. There are, however, in
New England a good number of herds
of Shorthorns and many individual
COWS with production records above
5000 pounds.
There is a New England Shorthorn
Breeders association that has been
| active the last two years ana is doing
much to make the breed popular.
In the popular mind Shorthorn
means beef animal. In the West
and Southwest some years ago breed
ers who were unable to secure strictly
dairy animals set about the task of
making mixers out of their cows, and
soon develop producing qualities of
high merit. New England men became
interested in this type of animal 10
years ago and there are now in this
section some of the best herds in the
country
The owners of these cattle are anx-
iOus to show them at the National
Dairy show this year and promise if
class is made for them to send
enough cattle to West Springfield to
make an impressive exhibit. Short
horn owners in other sections of the
country are also much interested and
have sent word to the management
of the exposition that they will see
to it that New Englanders do not carry
off all the blue ribbons.

Benefits of Cooperative Buying.

The members of the Windham Pota-
to Growers association have bought
for use on their farms about 50 tons
of agricultural lime, about 80 tons of
fertilizer and many new farming tools
and have marketed quantity of
maple sugar and syrup, chiefly syrup.
By buying their fertilizer and tools
through the association they have eff
fected considerable saving in cost.
Several new members have been add
ed, as they see the advantage of CO.
operation among the farmers along
these lines will result in great bene-
fit to them. 1t is predicted that in the
near future there will be not only co
operative town organizations but a
large county organization which will
be of greater benefit, as by one agent
buying for all the county much better
prices can be obtained, both for things
the members have to buy and to sell.
w. L. Tommy, secretary of the asso-
citation, says: owe are sure that if
every farmer in Windham county
would take hold and boost we could
make Windham county the banner
county in the state, and this is what
we believe they are going to do"
