SHOW WELL-BRED
COWS At STATE FAIR
Display of H. lsteiu-F Frie-
slams to be Bigger
Than Ever
WlNTERTHUR HERD
WELL REPRESENTED

Among the exhibits Of fine bred cat
tie TO be seen at the Delaware state
Fair the FIRST week In September, the
display Of lIolslcln-Friesian promises
TO be one OF the most conspicuous. And
the fact that most Of the specimens ol
this breed Will come from Delaware
farms and dairles makes the show mat
much more interesting.
The claim Is made by the liolstein-
Frleslan breeders that this breed or
COWS Is the greatest milk producing
variety known. In this State one OF
the foremost herds OF Holsteln-Frlesian
IS located at Wlnterthur Farms, al
which establishment II. r. dupont has
had constructed dairy barns embracing
very known facility for the convenience
and comfort OF these milk producers.
Nothing has been left undone which
will tend towards securing the best re-
suits I'm the way OF milk production.
The Wlnterthur Farms herd contlins
some Of the choicest bred Holstelns Ia
The country, many Of tho cows having
made wonderful records OF production.
These expert producers, friends OF al
mankind will be seen In the cattle show
az the fair. Among the COWS exhibited
will be some which do not make any
fuss whatever over yielding 100 pounds
OF milk a day. Eighty pounds Is con-
sldered quite an ordinary yield daily.
When n cow gives from 40 to %
quarts OF milk IN 81 hours, and main
talns this quantity for the greater part
OF the year, the cow Is sure 70 prove
a profitable investment. Several OF such
animals will be seen among the Win
| terthur exhibits.
Breeders OF the Holstein claim thai
| they are not only the greatest pro-
ducers but that there are more regis
tered Holstelns each year than all othel
breeds combined. During the past veal
more than 5000 new members have beer
added TO the IIOlstein-Friesan Breeders
/ Association, the total membership now
being about 1850.
/ The extension service department oi
| the Holsteln-Friesian Association under
/ the direction Of w. NJ Rider OF Brattle-
boro. VI, Is cooperating with the or
ncials Of the State Fair and Delaware
