 Holstein-Friesian Cattle. 
 
 On account of the lack of sullicient data it mil he very 
 nearly impossible to give a full and correct history of this breed 
 during the early centuries of the Christian era. Prom tradition 
 we learn that the liatavians settled in Holland. B. C 800 and 
 brought with them very largo black cattle. About one hundred 
 years after h.s the Friesian people took up their abode in this 
 same land bringing with them a large breed of cattle moath 
 white. These two breeds, in course of time, were inLr brei 
 and resulted in a great improvement, so much so that the black 
 and the wnte became extinct, and the tw., breeds thus crS

 soon became one of the formost dairy countries in the world, and 
 for several years led the world in dairy exports. This is proved 
 by the large quantities of butter and cheese she has exported, 
 sine also has made aii excellent showing in her export of veal 
 «nd beef. The breed that has thus reached this degree of ex- 
 cellence was brought to America. Sm^iU importations were 
 made at intervals, but none of importance till after 1870. Sinc« 
 that time there have been frequent importations, and the breed 
 soon was seen in every Btate of the Union, and their increase has 
 been marvellous. In 1872 theie were 129 Registered Holstein- 
 Friesian cattle in North America, in 1892 there are more than 
 60,000. This simply means that they are what the people want, 
 and are determined to have. Scattered importations into 
 Canada began in 1882, and Hince then they have been as it were 
 taken on trial. To-day every Province in the Dominion has 
 herds of black and whites. They stand the varied climate 
 of Canada remarkably well, and wherever they have had a fair 
 trial they have found warm admirers, and to-day the cry comes 
 from countless farm hoases, from the sunny slopes beyond the 
 Rockies to tho waters of the Atlantic, give us this large dairy 
 oow that can •■< .y profitably be turned off for beef, and with 
 oourage and hope the Holstein Breeders have been selling their 
 stock, and th'i results have ho far been very gratifying. The 
 wise and fmsyoing farmers are taking up this breed with great 
 earnestnesb and enthusiasm. They forsee that dairying must 
 become the great industry of Canada. 
 
 Dairying is the Ontario farmers only hope, for with dairy- 
 ing he can restore his farm and at the same time make a good 
 comfortable living. The desire is growing in favor of winter 
 dairying. Why ? Because : 
 
 <1) More manure is required to restore farms. 
 <2) Better prices for butter are obtained. 
 <8) The farmer has more time. 
 (4) The farmer wants a monthly income. 
 (6) Calves go oat io pasture the next spring much better 
 when dropped in the fall. 
 
 (6) Cows will milk through the whole winter and run njf 
 
 again when turned out. 
 
 (7) Grain brings a much better price by changing it t* 
 
 milk and butter.

Butter Making. 
 
 There are aoveinl esHentials and very many norcssaries in 
 order to obtain tirst-claHtt gilt-edged butter, and it is well to no- 
 tice all of theue and as fur as poHnible obtain them. The oasen- 
 tials include a good cow. a comfortable stable well ventilated, 
 an evenly balanced ration of good coarse food, pure water, and 
 a good common-senHe man in charge of them all. The food 
 must be to the cows likiiig, as she has her likes and dislikes, it 
 must be so mixed that a cows health will improve, not causing 
 costiveness nor the opposite, it must be porous and easily di- 
 gested. She should have a qniet ftnd comfortable place to lie 
 down to enjoy her food Everything that excites or worries a 
 cow is done at the expense of nerve ' ice and food is required to 
 keep this up, therefore, avoid noises, bad orders, harsh or cruel 
 treatment. 
 
 Milking.— This should be done cleanly, quickly, quietly and 
 regluraly. 
 
 Cleanliness.— A cloth, dipped in warm water and wrung 
 out nearly dry should bo used by the milker and the bag gentlv 
 rubbed with this to take otf all the straw, &c. It id better to use 
 the warm damp cloth as it does not chill the udder or make the 
 cow uncomfortable. Then milk without moistening the teats; 
 that is a useless and a bad habit and with a little practice it can 
 be done easier and better. Milk the cow perfectly dry. 
 
 QuicKNKss.— The rapid and even milker always get the best 
 and most milk. To milk fast, then slow and then fast again is 
 not so good as milking evenly. The cow makes an effort to give 
 her milk and it has an exhausting effect upon her. I have 
 noticed a cow lie down the moment you finished milking, seem- 
 ingly tired. It is therefore only common sense to think that the 
 quicker she is relieved the better pleased and easier it would be 
 for her. Experiments prove that better results are obtained 
 from rapid milking. 
 
 Quietness.— There should be no noises or loud talking or 
 earahneaa while the milking is going on. It more or leas excites 
 the cow and this has an influence upon the quality and quantity 
 of the milk. All unnecessary talking does harm. Whatever 
 excites or worries a cow uses an amount of nerve force and extra 
 food is required to supply that again. 
 
 Regularity.— It is important that coWs should be milked 
 regularly, and at the same hour and in the same 
 — '"-- *i tOwy are TnigsccJ occasionally or one mgnt early and 
 another night late, it tends to dry them up and soon you obtain 
 
THE FARMER'S MOST PROFITABLE COW 
 
 ■ ^.■•^. 
 
 a small quantity of milk. Cows are jealous and do not like to 
 be milked out of the regular order. 
 
 Care of Milk.— Experiments and experience both go to 
 show that in order to get the most cream the milk should be 
 strained into deep cans and put as soon as possible into ice-cold 
 water, all delay is at the expense of cream. Those who use ice 
 will confirm this idea, and it is a simple thing to try. Should 
 the milk become cool from causes not controllable, then the 
 next best thing to do is to heat it up again to over 90 degrees, 
 by puting the milk pail into hot water or some put it on the 
 stove and use the thermometer to tell when it is warm enough. 
 As soon as it is over 90 degrees it should be put into ice-cold 
 water and the best results will be obtained. Twelve hours is 
 sufficient to have the cream rise, if the water is very cold but 
 otherwise longer time might be preferable. Good results can be 
 obtained from pans, but convenience, saving of labor, and better 
 results show that the high cans are the most profitable. The 
 milk room should bo cool, well ventilated and scruplously clean 
 and sweet in every particular. Milk is very susceptIble of 
 odors or impurities. They effect the milk and ' also the butter. 
 Cellars with decayed roots or onions or if at all musty soon 
 effect the quality of the butter, for the milk is very quick to ab- 
 sorb such odors. 
 
 Care of Cream. — Perhaps it will be best to give the wrong 
 way and show wherein it is wrong and then the right method. 
 
 Some put their morning gathering of cream in the cream jar 
 and then put it in a warm room, then in the evening add the 
 next lot, and return to the same room and next morning add 
 the third lot and put in same jar, and all is put in room to 
 ripen, or as some say to sour. When it is ready it is churned. 
 The cream that was first put in started ripen before the other 
 two were added and when put in the churn the first gathering was 
 over-ripe, the second ripe, and the third not ripe enough, and in 
 churning the first effected the quality of fhe butter, the second 
 was perhaps all right and the third not l.cing sufficiently ripe 
 did not combine with the others, as it takes longer to churn 
 unripe cream, therefore much of it is lost in the buttermilk. 
 In this way by taste, smell, or appearance, it is impossible to 
 tell when it is properly ripened, because one part must be over- 
 ripe if the others are ripe. This then effects materially the 
 quantity «nd (piality of the butter. 
 
 It is better to put the first gathering in a jar and the jar 
 in a very cold place so as to prevent its beginning to get ripe, 
 then add the second and third gathering in turn, and all then 
 starts evenly to ripen, and should be put in a room with tern-

 perature between 60 and 70 degrees, and stirred occasionally 
 and you get better, yes much l)etter, results. To hasten the 
 ripemng some advocate putting in a dipper full of fresh butter- 
 milk. The quicker the cream is ripened the better the butter. 
 To allow ci-eam a long time to ripen is a mistake, as it tends to 
 make the butter bitter and inferior. Some keep their cream 
 warm by day and cold by night, and often it t ikes too long to 
 ripen it. Others only have one or two t-ans and take too Ion-' to 
 get a churning, and get inferior butter. It is better to clmrn 
 oftener or churn the cream sweet. I have churned sweet 
 cream and got not only good butter, but more of it. It can be 
 churned at a lower temperature at from 58 to 60, but you have 
 to churn a longer time. For immediate use it is all right but 
 some claim that the butter will not keep so well. 
 
 Bitter Butter is caused by keeping the cream too long, 
 it 18 also caused by a plant found in some of our meadows, and 
 for a time spoils the butter. Poor food has the same effect. To 
 tell when cream is exactly right for churning requires experi- 
 ence. The cream shoull have a certain glossv appeaiance, and 
 possess a peculiar acid taste as there are different degrees of 
 acidity. 
 
 Churning.— The churn should be scrupulously clean. Strain 
 the cream into it through a coarse piece of cheese cloth. This 
 takes out all foreign matter that may have got in. The tem- 
 perature should be 62 to 64 in winter, tO to 62 in summer, and 
 the thermometer should always deeirio the temperature. Fifty 
 rounds of the barrel churn per minute is considered the right 
 thing. When the butter has formed into granules- about the 
 size of buckwheat the churning is done. Draw off the butter 
 milk. I use a barrel churn, and put inside a perforated jnece, 
 about 3 X !3, with a handle to it. 15 inches long. This can be 
 held in the churn next the hole and thus prevent all butter 
 from going out, but allowing the buttermilk. As soon as the 
 buttermilk is drawn off I thoroughly wash the butter with 
 cold water. If there is any trouble ab)ut getting the water 
 clear in washing the butter, I throw in a liandful of salt and 
 this helps to release the buttermilk that is in the butter. Then the 
 butter should be taken out and weighed salt J oz. to the pound. 
 Allow it to remain an hour and then work q lite dry. The but- 
 ter can be worked by a btitter-woiker, or if by hand, it should 
 be done by pressure. All pushing and sliding of the ladle 
 tends to give the butter a greasy appearance and injures the 
 grain of it. Be sure and use a very tine salt as some butter is 
 spoiled by a coarse variety. We prefer the " Eureka Salt." 
 Put up in neat pound rolls and your butter is ready for market.

 The Silo and Ensilage. 
 
 O., ONT.

 The construction of the silo is one of the most important 
 considerations to begin with. It shouhl be convenient to the 
 animals to be fed. This is very important and secondly it 
 should be ma position quite easy to fill. Its location should 
 flepend on convenience for feeding and for filling. It mav verv 
 properly be put in the bay of a barn or in the roothouse and 
 extended above it, or it can be built just as well outside. It 
 should have a good dry foundation or drained so as to make it 
 dry I here IB nothing, however, comes from the corn that 
 would make It at all wet. Let us then build a silo 16 x IG and 16 
 feet deep. This is the size of our own but it could with advan- 
 tage be put deeper, the deeper the silo the better the ensilage is 
 preserved The foundation sills should be sunk into the eSrth. 
 It IS best to dig a trench and fill in with stones and mortar and 
 Jay the sills in the mortar or cement. This preserves them and 
 makes the structure firm and lasting. The sills should be 8 x 8 
 and sunk even with the surface of the earth. Fit them with 
 shoulders and pin thom well. Thus we have our foundation- 
 Begin at the corners and mortice holes about 16 inches apart 
 having thus 13 studding on each side. The corners will thus 
 have the two outside posts of studding set 8 inches from the 
 corner with their inside corners almost or quite touching each 
 other, and facing different ways. The corners of the 
 silo should be made very firm and secure. The 
 studding should be 2x8 and 16 feet long On 
 top of these 4 plates 2 x 8 should be firmly spiked, care being 
 taken to have the studding plumb, etc., and well brkced in the 
 
 SJ ?a f . r Pi*""'/- .^" *^^ '"'^^« ""^ *he silo should be 
 nailed 16-foot boards of undressed lumber but having the edges 
 evenly planed so that no cracks will be left. In the corners 
 should be well fitted an upright l^-inch boaad and behind it 
 some saw dust or such material should be put. Then daub over 
 the whole inside making thecoal tar filling up all cracks, etc., and 
 while this IS hot and moist put on the tar paper up and down 
 Ike you would wall paper, fixing the top well and using tacks 
 m places. The tar paper will adhere to the boards when thua 
 
 ZntJ^M-^?"" ^^^; .*^' '""^'^^ °^ «"o complete. Some 
 add another thickness of lumber, but I am inclined to think 
 there is no need of it. If you did not feel satisfied after having 
 rf/r/- experience this way you could add the second laver

 or so later. Then twice or three times a week run through the 
 cultivator With two teeth out where the rows of corn are and 
 afterwards keep clean with two scuftler. Frequent sirface cult 
 vation IS the best for corn. Continue this a? Sg a 'po, ib ^

 HAUVESTiNG.-This is One of the most difficult parts in 
 iiiakmg ensilage, and no very convenient way has yet beJn de 
 vise, llmt we know of. Some cut their corn with an old reaper 
 and feel satisfied Some use a binder arranged so that the 3 
 can be bound m bundles. They take out the part that prevents 
 the corn coming up, others buy a binder already so armnged 
 We consider corn cutting with the binder too heavy a stra"n as

 in small bundles. Whilst this is a laborious way yet we foun J 
 It the best. Some place two oldschy the blades on a contrivance 
 somethmg like a stoneboat with the blades at angle of about 6? 
 degrees one on each side and the men just behind these knives 
 and as the horse drags it along it cuts a row on each side and 
 the men gather it as it falls and lay it off in bundles Snmt 
 have loT .heels on this and seem well pleased wih it We 
 then take an ordinary lumber wagon lengthen it out and use the

 prevent the corn tonchinp the wheels. The men can load on 
 this and it \h thus taken to the l)aru and run through an ordi- 
 nary hay and straw cutter and j)ut into the silo. Cut it three 
 fourths of an inch louff, as then the cows can eat everything up 
 If cut too long some pieces will l.e found in the mangers. In 
 putting into the silo he careful to luicj) it evenly spread. As it 
 falls from the carriers the stalks and ears being heavy will fall 
 down and the leafy part fall ut the sides. If left thatway there 
 will be too much leafy jjart in places and that will must; where- 
 as, it scattered evenly, with the ears and stalks, it will not must. 
 Tramp well the edges and conieis and a little all over will do 
 good. When you hnish your work on( dav be sure and trami) 
 It well the next. Fill your silo as fast as you can and your en- 
 fcilage will be all right. We have tried it at intervals and all 
 the other ways and find that the sooner vou fill your silo 
 the better. Formerly the corn was cut much' greener and the 
 food was not near so good. The ears should be well matured 
 (too hard for table use) which with us is about the 1.5th or 20th 
 of September or even later. You get much better food by allow- 
 ing it to mature well, and it pays to have the extra aniount of 
 'food. When your silo is full allow it to stand two or three days 
 and then give it a thorough tramping. When full it should be 
 a loot or more higher in the centre than at the sides and when 
 you tramp it on the 8rd day it will press down even. Some 
 cover it with cut straw or green hay, or something of that sort ; 
 we leave it and find that only a few inches spoils. Always feed 
 from the whole of the top. For analysis and feeding value of 
 ensilage see under Eation for Holstein Cows.

 Protein includes all the albumenoids. These produce moat 
 of the material in the l)lood and llesh and have been called the 
 flesh formers. 
 
 Before giving the table of the composition of grain, &c., 
 Ac, I will endeavor to exjilain how they obtain their results. 
 Careful experiments have ])eon made by different persons and 
 the results have been very nearly alike.' They take different 
 kinds of food as peas, hay. roots, \tc., and anaiy/e these, then 
 feed the same as these to their animals. Thus' they know the 
 exact composition of the food consumed. They a; > analyze all 
 the dropi)ings. The animal is weighed when the experiment 
 begins and at the end. Thus they are enabled to account for 
 all the food. It must be changed into riesh bone, &c., or go 
 away in droppings or be ))reatbed away. Thus they obtain the 
 requisite information about the composition of all kinds of food.

 This one on the otbei hand contains too much Carbo-hydr- 
 ates. It 18 not strictly necessary that theration be exactly like the 
 standard one but the more nearly it approaches to it the better. 
 Arom the foregoing you can work out almost any ration. 
 
 The standard ration for Beef is Albumenoids equal to 2.50 
 Carbo-Hydrates equal to 15.00, Fat equal to .50. It might be 
 well to hnd the nutritive ratio of the former rations. It is 
 found as follows : — 
 
 Carbo-Hydrates. Albumenoids. 
 
 fat .41 X 2.4=.084 + 12 565 = 13.549 ^^ 3.758=3 6 
 Fat .40 X 2.4=.960+ 1250 = 13.460 : '2.50=5.3 
 
 The second is the standard nutritive ratio and is considered 
 from years of experience to be the most profitable and economi- 
 cal ration given. Here is a cheap ration for a dairy cow •

 Corn and corn ensilage contain a large quantity of Carbo- 
 Hydjrates and a small quantity of the Albumenoids, therefore it 
 IS best to give a food strong in Albumenoids with it such as 
 clover hay, peas, Leans, oil cake, cotton-seed meal. &c. Ensi- 
 lage has been analyzed when the ears of corn were in so many 
 different stages of maturity that it is difficult to set down any 
 real and fair analysis of it. 
 
 It might be well to notice that a cow must take from the 
 food^the material to make the milk, and if the ration is tooone- 
 Bideu she must waste a large amount of it as she cannot use it

 THE FARMER'S MOST PROFITAeLE COW 
 
 to BO great advantage as when properly mixed. It is also neces- 
 sary that cows should have a large ([uantity of coarse food. The 
 cows stomach is large and l^est adapted for coarse foods. Always 
 have the food porous and not too compact or too concentrated. 
 Pea-meal alone is diangerous, but mixed with cut hay or straw 
 is very safe and good. Proper attention must be paid in feed- 
 ing milch cows, to the effect of the mixture of foods as some 
 mixtures tend to make the cows costive, other mixtures the 
 other extreme. An evenly balanced ration that makes a cow 
 coitive or a ration the oow does not like, will not produce the 
 best results ; tlierefore it is necessary that the likings and re- 
 quirements of the cows should be studied. Some think that 
 an evenly-balanced ration is all that is required. Such, how- 
 ever, is not the case as a mixture may be made too concentrat- 
 ed, as of pea-meal, corn-meal, oil-cake, without a sufficient 
 amount of coarse food, and some of these are more costive in 
 their effects than others. They must be open and porous and 
 keep the bowels right in order to give proper results. Some 
 Professor across the lines made a immber of book rations and 
 published them as evenly balanced. They were more evenly- 
 balanced than the Professor, for some of them consisted of heavy 
 rich concentrated foods, which no experienced feeder would 
 think of giving. 
 
 Cows, especially milch, cows, can be developed. They should 
 be given shortly after calving a coarse food and gradually add 
 ijrain, etc., also day by day increase the quantity of food, 
 always being careful to see that the cow is making good use of 
 *he food, one cow can stand to take a large quantity, another 
 much less : it depends largely on the cow's constitution and 
 stomach. Some cows have weak stomachs, therefore, you cat- 
 not gi't ^i)o;l result.-, from tlieni. It is not safe to give them 
 iiucli rich food : youhaveto be too careful with them. Develop- 
 ing these is next to impossible: but. if your cow is a good one, 
 such as tlio Holstein, tlien you can get the best results by this 
 ])rocess of gradual ilevelopment of the stomach and milking 
 pialities. 
 
 The following are a few rations that have given good results 
 as the records show : 
 
 Lauv Baickii. — .\ fine specim in of a Holstein cow, gave 34 
 lbs. ♦) oz. of butter in a week, and her record is sworn to be 
 eoi'reet by her owner. She received corn meal, grjund oats, 
 wheat, bran, new process oil cake, and pasture day and night, 
 -vith free access to water.

 At tho British DairyShow, which has been held 'liirinj^ each 
 t>f the hist 14yearB, there have been puhlc teats, and herewith 
 J will give Kome of the results : 
 
 In 1888 there were lb Shorthorns in the tdst, the best one 
 produced 2,561 lbs. buttor liit in 2 days or 1.290 lbs. in one day, 
 equivalent to 9.03 lbs. in a week. 
 
 In 1889 there were 13 Shorthorns in the test, the beat cow 
 produced 2.937 lbs. of butter fat in 2 days or 1.469 lbs. in one 
 day, equivalent to 10.288 lbs. in seven days or a trifle over ten 
 lbs. in a week. 
 
 In 1890 there were 9 Shorthorns in the test, the beat cow 
 produced 2. '.('7 lbs. in two days, or 1.134 lbs. in a day, 
 equivalent to 7.938 lbs. in seven days, or almost 8 lbs. of butter 
 fat in a week. 
 
 There must have been 17 Shorthorn cows in 1888 that made 
 less than 9.03 lbs. of Butter fat in a week, and in 1889 twelve 
 cows must have made less than 10.28 lbs. of butter in a weak, 
 and in 1890 eight must have done worse than the 1st prize cow, 
 and made less than 8 lbs. of butter in a week. In the three 
 years given the average of tlie best three of the forty cows was 
 9.8 lbs. of butter fat in a week. 
 
 Jerseys. — At the same show in 1888 there were 17 Jersey 
 cows competed, the best one made 1.710 lbs. of butter fatm two 
 days, equivalent to 5.986 lbs., or in round numbers, 6 lbs. of 
 butter fat in a week, and 16 cows must have made less than 
 that because 17 competed. 
 
 In 1889 there were 23 Jersey cows competed and the best 
 cow made 2.937 lbs. in two days, equivalent to 10.283 lbs. ia 
 seven days, so that 22 cows must have made less than 10.28 ia 
 a week. 
 
 In 1890 there were 19 Jerseys competed, and the best one 
 made 2.069 lb3. in two days, equivalent to 7.245 lbs. in a week.

 ■o that lb must have luadfilesH than 71 lbs of butter fat in a week. 
 „ or, .. averape of the three boht J<>i Key cows uf tho "9 was 
 7.87 lbs. of butter fat in a week. ^ 
 
 This iB the home of the Shorthorn, and may also be called 
 the home of the Jersey because they are found tho.o in abund- 
 ance Ihe test therefore should brin^r out the best cows „f these 
 kreeds. The prizes offered in these tests a.o as follows • 
 bhorthornH— 1st prize Xii Ms. and a silver mudal. 
 
 •2nd prize 1'2 2h. and n bronzo in. dal 
 Jersey Cows— 1st prize I'M :5h. iin.l a silver medal. 
 2nd prize .1*2 2h. and a bionze medal 
 GuernaeyF -1st prize i'2 123. Cd. and a silver mo.lal, 
 Other breads and cnvsnes. silvor medal.' 
 The Jersey Cattle Society offer prizes as follows, in a.lditiou 
 to the above : Ist prize, gold medal or iMO ; 2n.l prize silver 
 medal ; 3rd pnze bronze medal ; Gucii.sey Cattle Society offer 
 edver cup valued £10. '-"j' uuor 
 
 Thus it will be seen that the h'oh,teins are barred out ofthc 
 tests of any importance. They eannot cnn.pete « itli the Short- 
 horns Jerseys or Guernseys, but may compete for - ,ilver medal 
 whilst the other breeds have good money ..rizes; the Holsteins 
 have only medals whose value is of little irnpoi tunce 
 
 _ It 18 then no wonder that Holsteins have no share in the 
 prizes, because they will not allow the.n to eorapete. This 
 mformation .nay be found by any one in tho Journ d of the 
 iJritish Dairy Fanners' Association on pa-^^ 220 f,)r 1891 
 
 Now let us turn to some of the t- sh: in America and see 
 how hey compare. I will take tlie year 1HS9, the vear that the 
 Shorthorns and Jerseys did best in the tests given above and 
 selec twelve of the leadin,^ Fairs in America, and give the 
 Holatein cows name and her production :

 of the breed; but the day is not far distant when these cries 
 shall cease. In 1890 at Toronto the promise of a good test 
 taking placo was anticipated because 48 cows had been entered, 
 i\ ^fu"^ **^ unsatisfactory circumstances connected with the 
 test three-fourths of the cows were withdrawn, leaving only 
 Jersey, Devonsaed Ayrshires in the competition. The .Jerseys 
 were successful, but their success was short lived, for the same 
 Su ^^T® ?f ^:^*^<^ only a few days later at Ottawa by the Holsteins.

 Points of Interest. 
 
 In 18y0 Holland sent to England half as much again of 
 butter as Canada and the United States together, and three 
 timej 80 mu«h cheese as all the countries of Europe. This 
 11 the home of Holstein-Friesian cattle. 
 
 The Holstein grade ox " Jumbo " who weighed 3840 lbs. a 
 fow weeks ago is a ffne specimen of a black and white ox. He it 
 to be sent to the World's Fair, when thev expect he will weigh 
 4000 lbs. This Grade Holstein ox is the' largest in the world. 
 '''L^.;,^ There is no Holstein-Priesian Hard Book in England, and 
 this breed has been prohibited from coming into England most 
 of the time during the past 15 or 20 years. 
 
 Mr. James Long, an eminent author on cattle, says that 
 Holsteins or Dut«h Cattle were brought into England centuries 
 ago, and this cross with their breeds resulted in the Shorthern 
 or Durham. 
 
 The desire at their Dairy Shows is increasing to get HolsteiB 
 Friesians to compete, and to offer some money prizes same m- 
 with the other breeds.
