TWO MILLIONTH HOLSTEIN FE-
MALE is REGISTERED

A milestone in the progress of the
Holstein. Friesian breed of dairy
cattle was reached recently when
registration certificate No. 2,000,-
900 was issued. The lucky number
went to a baby calf of distinguished
parentage in the herd of Harold
Shaw, leading dairyman of Maine.
The first million number was is
sued in 1926, just 40 years after
the present herd book was started.
1t is pointed out by Holstein
breeders that this milestone in reg
istrations indicates the wide ac-
ceptance of registered Holstein-
Friesians in America, and the con-
tribution this breed has made to-
dairy progress. Originating in Hol-
land, the imported foundation num-
bered only 1857 head during the
period from 1852 to- 1905, with
none since the later date, and the
largest numbers in the eighties.
Miss Two Millionth" can trace her
family tree through the years, it
is stated, in every generation to
those original imported foundation
animals.

Willard Cleaves Aldrich
An Appreciation

In a sense no one can pay tribute
to SO rare a spirit as Mr.. Aldrich.
One can only record memories of the
man-themselves. the tribute. What
his name stood for in Cecil County
through nearly forty-three years is
known best to those whose lives he
touched. To the students at Tome
his sympathetic understanding of
them and the vividness of his in
terest in their problems will never
be forgotten.
Few men have had so fine sense
of civic responsibility. With great
unselfishness he gave himself UNI
sparingly to the betterment of his
community. Often he brought to
fruition a cherished vision single
handed through almost insuperable
obstacles. Nothing daunted him. He
was back of every fine movement
that stood for improvement of the
individual, the home, the school, the
community. 1t was characteristic OF
him that the idea of roadside plant
Ing ulu uOJ OAOiJ oh w
mirable idea. He planted countless
trees himself and with true vision
did not rest until his enthusiasm was
caught by his pupils-the planters
of the future. 1t was he who organ
lied the Boy Scouts of Port Deposit.
1t was he who made the swimming
shore possible. 1t was he who help
ed the Fire Company. 1t was he who
was always ready to give eagerly,
gladly to any coed cause.
Mr.. Aldrich had fine gift for
friendship for he saw good in all
people and was charity itself in his
Judgment of others. His priceless
enthusiasm, sweetness of spirit, and
great kindness lifted him above or
binary men. He enriched life. The
enrichment will endure.

Bullbaiting Popular in
England Centuries Ag.

The name bulldog was applied t.
the breed about 1850, but as early
as 141O the forerunners of the kind
were described in English literature
under the names of "alaunt" ano
"bandog.' At that time the Eng
lish mastiff and the bulldog had
much in common.
Rullbaiting, from which practice
or sport, if it can be called such
the breed obtained its name, was
popular in England in the two cen
turtles before 1885, when it was pro
hibited by law The bulldogs par1
was to sink his teeth in the bulls
nose, pull his head to the GROUND
and hold it there until the victim
roared, something which no bull
worth the batting was supposed tc
do Immediately. Oddly enough, the
meat from bulls which had beer
baited was considered to have 6
superior flavor and commanded G
higher price.
AS might be imagined, writes La
rue I. DdIll6lS III IliC NiCNCidiiN
Plain Dealer, dog used for such
a purpose was not of too amiable
a disposition. Around 1860 the orig
inal bulldog is said to have beer
crossed with the pug, giving him 6
shorter nose and fine disposition
Constant development of the breed
by fanciers who were attracted tc
the dog by his own fine qualities
produced an animal that in spite
of his ferocious aspect is perhaps the
gent!cst and most kindly of dogs.
The official standard as adopted
by the Bulldog Club of America
calls for a dog weighing from &C
to SO pounds, with heavy, thick-set,
low-slung body, massive short-faced
head and sturdy limbs. He should
suggest great stability, vigor and
strength. He must be resolute, but
kind and dignifed.
