AYRSHIRE CATTLE ARE
LEADERS AMONG HIGH
GRADE MILKING HERDS
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN


Henderson's Betty, the beautifully
marked Ayrshire COW. with record Of
14,246 pounds of milk in one year, Is
over I years old, and was recently
sold for $4,1O0. She was put up at
the Second National Ayrshire sale at
Springfield, Mass, at which an offer
ing of "A head netted the various
breeders $42,490, an average Of 1865.
The Ayrshires are of Scottish origin
They are middle-weight mixers. The
mature COW ranges around 1000
pounds. They are mighty fine fam
lily cow"
At the date of the printing Of the
first American Ayrshire herd register,
1863. but 10 males and PIT females
were recorded. These were entered
by 129 breeders, all from New Eng
land. The bulk of the Ayrshires are
found in the east but they are In
creasing in favor in the west, notably
so In Iowa, where there are now
slightly more than 80 herds. The
Iowa state college has herd Of Ayr
shires and its experience with this
dairy breed is populariZing 1t in that
state.
Sell For Big Sums.
Addington Princess, consigned from
Hill Top farm, Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia, MIXED 70 pounds of milk per
day while on the sale grounds, and
sold for $1,400 Otterkill Roseleaf, a

over $500 pounds Of milk. Auchen.
brain Hannah, 3rd. brought $4,000;
Auchenbrain Ella, $4,000, and Willow
moor Cristina, $1,150. Jean Armour's
Big Kate sold for So, 100 and Barclays
White Lilly for $4,000.
High Quality MIX.
While Ayrshire men do not claim
the greatest quantity Of milk, they do
talk quality and richness.
Ayrshire cattle show birth and
breeding, and the value of pure blood
strains in the milking herd. That
their care and keep IS more costly
than that of common" cows which
are properly looked after, may be
doubted. But that they produce from
twice to FIVE times the amount Of
milk and butterfat, is a matter of
record.
Average Weights Of Cows.
The Jersey Is the lightest Of all the
milking breeds; a mature cow weigh
ing about 900 pounds. The Ayrshire
will weigh 1000 pounds; the Guern-
sey, 100 to 1900: the Brown Swiss,
1900 to 1850; milking Shorthorns
1900 to 1850; while the Holstcin-
Friesan often weighs from 1900 to
1900 pounds at maturity. AS food
producer the Holstein leads all the
dairy breeds.
