CATTLE HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF BREEDS. 



753 



During the last twenty years m;my importations of those 

 cattle have been made and, perhaps, no breed has grown in 

 favor more rapidly than these wherever they have been in- 

 troduced, and we predict that they will take a prominent place in 

 the future, both for the dairy and as a general purpose animal.

answer to the question, "Are Holstein's good butter cows?'* 

 made the following statement: 



"Holsteins have not yet equaled the highest yield made by 

 a few Jerseys, but we think the average is considerable higher, 

 and with a like effort in that direction I think the highest Jer- 

 sey records will be reached. As Holstein's milk more evenly 

 throughout the year and hold out longer, I am confident, as a 

 class, that their yearly yield of butter will be greater. Of 

 course, the Jerseys will make more butter from a given amount 

 of milk, but the larger flow of the Holsteins will more than 

 make up the difference, and contrary to the general expressed 

 opinion, I consider this an important item in favor of the Hol- 

 steins. With the present custom of using coolers in creameries 

 the milk is sweet after the cream is removed.
