THIRTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART XIII 753 



second, and a rather light middle and delicate build, third. The ten 

 two-year-olds furnished some discussion because the two logical winners 

 of first and second were not followed more closely by the sweet Rose 

 Tulip's Sultana that only got fifth. She is of capacious build and has a 

 very large udder with nicely placed teats. The first prize for senior 

 yearlings went to a heifer of great milk gland and very pleasing type, 

 although rather longer of leg than her mate winning second. Third 

 prize was awarded to a heifer with an udder cut up deeply between 

 the quarters. Some favored for this position the fifth heifer, a very 

 deep-bodied sweet-fronted youngster of beautiful udder development al- 

 though not in milk. Even more mammary expansion perhaps, although 

 less body capacity, is possessed by the fourth heifer. The younger 

 classes brought out numbers of promising sweet-faced daintily built 

 heifers. 



THE GUEENSEYS. 



Small classes of Guernseys occupied the attention of Prof. W. P. 

 Forbes, Lincoln, Neb., in the distribution of ribbons. Throughout the 

 lots there was a uniformity of type and refinement of character seldom 

 displayed by the breed. J. H. Williams of Wisconsin and Wilcox & 

 Stubbs of Iowa, were the exhibitors, and deserve credit for making a 

 favorable showing. 



The vigorous deep-bodied Holden 4th had no competition in the aged 

 class for bulls. His herd mate Bob Rihna was conspicuous among the 

 two-year-olds because of the size, constitution, character and vim he dis- 

 played. The yearling winner has a very long rib, is very open between 

 the thighs and has winsome quality. The second bull is of more muscu- 

 lar build. An advantage in head and top line distinguished Queen's 

 Prince in the senior calf class. 



A very good class of cows appeared, bearing ample evidences of milk- 

 ing capacity. The two at the top have great udders, and the first 

 carries the gland higher behind although she is somewhat cut up be- 

 tween the quarters. She is a quality cow and evidently producing 

 heavily. Twin two-year-olds of similar type secured the most desirable 

 positions in their class for Wilcox & Stubbs, and the same exhibitors 

 scored second and third on a pair of twin senior heifer calves. 



THE BROWN SWISS. 



Three herds of the hardy Swiss dairy breed claimed the admiration 

 of the ringside and of Prof. W. P. Forbes who tied the ribbons. Allyn- 

 hurst Farm and H. W. Ayers of Wisconsin, and M. T. Anderson of Iowa 

 made the exhibition. In some cases it was thought by ringside critics 

 that a trifle too much emphasis was laid upon size at the expense of 

 dairy form. 



The big burly typical Zell carried off chief honors among the bulls as 

 is his custom. In the next class Myone Boy has somewhat more dairy 

 shape than the winner although rather on the leg. The yearling Zell A 

 is very growthy and has the long rib of his famous sire.
