A DUAL-PURPOSE BREED. 833 



duced 355.1 Ibs. butter; the net profit (not in- 

 cluding her calf) being $41.42. The roan Col- 

 lege Moore has produced 8,734.5 Ibs. milk in 

 twelve months, showing an average test of 4.02 

 per cent fat, with a butter production of 409 

 Ibs., yielding a net profit, not including calf, of 

 $37.57. These and other of the Iowa College 

 cows are producing and rearing some very fine 

 calves sired by the Scotch bull Courtier 125603, 

 bred by C. C. Norton, Corning, la., and sired by 

 Prince Bishop 67273 out of Sweet Charity 4th 

 by imp. Salamis 110075. Prof. Curtiss of this 

 station, who ranks as one of the best all-around 

 judges of live stock in the West at the present 

 time, personally selected in Scotland during the 

 summer of 1899, at Mr. Duthie's, the valuable 

 young bull Scotland's Crown, recently added to 

 the college herd. He states that some of the 

 younger cows in the herd bid fair to excel the 

 performances of the two above mentioned. 



Figures from New York. The thirteenth 

 annual report of the New York Agricultural 

 Experiment Station for the year 1894 contains 

 an interesting account of similar experiments 

 at Geneva. Seven different breeds were repre- 

 sented, and although there was but one Short- 

 horn cow in the herd (Spencer's Betsy 10th), 

 yet when pitted against special dairy breeds 

 she gave a good account of herself, as appears 

 from the subjoined summary:
