ORIGIN OF AYRSHIRE BREED
Scotch Cattle Are Quick, Brisk and
Seem to Have Abundant Store
of Efficiency

The Ayrshire breed originated in
the county Of Ayr. in southwestern
Scotland. In that region, which bor-
ders on the Irish sea. the surface is
rolling and has much rough woodland.
Pastures. therefore. are somewhat
sparse and it is necessary for animals
to Craze large areas in order TO OBJ
tain sufficient feed.
1t is only within the last hundred
years that Ayrshires have had type
we'll enough established TO be entitled
to the designation>of breed. No exact
account Of the different infusions of
blood of other breeds into the native
Scotch cattle TO form the Ayrshire
breed is at hand 1t is probable, how
ever. that fhe Channel islands, Dutch
and English cattle were all repre-
sented.
The first Importation of Ayrshires
to this country was made in 1892,
since which time there have been fire.

great popularity and the breed seems

the Canadian climate The merits Of
the breed have not been advertised
widely; consequently il is not well
known il many sections Of the United
States.
The colors Of Ayrshires may vary
from medium red to a very dark
mahogany brown and white. with
either color predomnating. OF late
years among breeders there has been
a decided tendency toward white with
red markings 4 black muzzle and
white switch are desired, but are not
necessary for registration. Perhaps
the most picturesque feature of ami
mails of the breed is their long horns,
which turn outward. then forward

never be needed. But still there
may come a time when they will
be indispensable, 50 firms 90 on

some months ago the New YORK
storage firm built a huge fire.

It was equipped with hundreds

The popularity of the scheme
was instantaneous. Banks were
among the first to patronize IT.

meant 1900 cubic feet Of filing
space. as the rooms are all u
