In answer to Mrs. VIM. Gerlinger,
the writer has come to defend the
greatest of all dairy breeds, THE
Wonderful Holstein Cow
All that is necessary to apply the
word wonderful to this particular
breed of cattle is to use the assertions
OF All leading physicians, that "Hol-
stein milk represents health, vitality
and nutrition" inasmuch as it con-
tains more protein than the milk
from any other breed. This will ex-
plain why all the state and govern
ment institutions maintain Holstein
herds exclusively.
Now concerning the butterfat Of
various breeds of dairy cattle; All
the world records for butterfat, made
by dairy cattle, from one day to a
year are held by Holstein cows. There
were at last reports just forty-nine
cows in the world, that have pro-
duced forty pounds and over Of but
ter In seven days, every one Of which
is a 'Holstein.
There are five hundred and fifty
cows that have made thirty-five
pounds and over of butter in seven
days, and each and every one OF
these are Holsteins.
There are seven Holstein cows that
have made from thirteen hundred to
fifteen hundred and six pounds Of
butter in one year. Not one of any
other breed.
Two Holstein cows have made re-
cords of over fifty pounds of butter
in seven days. The Champion Ju-
nior two year old "Carnation Pioneer
Segis" No. 451370, owned by Mini
kowski Farms, Mooreten, IN: D., just
finished her test October %, produc-
ing 415.6 pounds of milk and 24,877
pounds of .butterfat, which equals
31.09 pounds of butter in seven days.
Now this champion senior two
year old. "Glen Alex Queen De Kol,"
No. 275362. made in seven days $685.
80 pounds of milk and .42.35 pounds
of butter, either one of these COWS
produced more than any COW of any
other age or breed, even more than
the champion Guernsey cow murine
Cowan" who made at seven years Of
age 29.28 pounds of butter in seven
days, and she is the highest record
COW outside Of the Holsteins.
sincerely hope that this will con-
vince Mrs. Gerlinger that there is
cream in Holstein milk. We have
cows on the Sunny Dale Farm, we
purchased our first purebred Holstein
sire five years ago and have now at
the head Of our herd the second pure
bred sire, whose dam produced 1927
pounds Of butter in seven days as a
two year old. also 46355 pounds OF
milk. His sire is "Col. Korndyke
De Kol," son of Pontiac Korn-
dyke" the greatest of all Holstein
sires. Now. from this combination
of breeding we are realizing a tre-
mendous increase in our cream
checks over our former grade Guern-
seys, Shorthorns, etc.
twenty-five progressive farmers
have organized and are breeding Hol-
stems with us, and We expect the
great black and whites to make this
country famous, just as they have
Wisconsin and southern Minnesota
And Mrs. Gerlinger. II you should

the most famous herds Of dairy cat,

Now, in conclusion, we hope tc
have enlightened you concerning
4 Holstein cows and il in any way
there Is something you do not under.
stand we will be more than glad to
send official reports and statistics t
your address If you wish them.
Paint me a picture, Artist
My home in the sunsets glow:
Mother" asmile in the doorway
Kids in a wobbly row;
Silos and barns capacious
Mobile and tractor-plow;
And right up here in the fore
ground.
Put in a Holstein COW.
Make it wonderful picture
All that I have and love;
Kind Mother Earth beneath us,
Warm tender skies above;
Fields Of corn in the distance.
Hay in the sweet. wide NOW
And the key to all my good FORUM
The beautiful Holstein COW.
Yours, for better dairy cows.
