HOLSTEIN-FRIESIANS FOR BEEF. 



149 



grade H'olsteins, and found them the best of their age I have ever killed. The 

 beef is of the best quality. I killed a calf which I bought from Mr. J. Paget 

 which dressed 350 IDS., it being only seven months old, and was fed only in the 

 common way. 



J. A. Awell, Newcastle, Ont., writes : I am pleased to be able to chronicle 

 my testimony in favor of your Holstein breed of calves for vealing purposes, 

 having purchased one from H. A. Adams, Esq. ' At four weeks old it weighed 

 145 Ibs. dessed, the meat being of good quality and giving entire satisfaction. 



James Coulson, Newcastle, Ont., writes: I bought a calf from Mr. H. A. 

 Adams, bred from Hienise's King, which weighed alive at four weeks old 197 

 Ibs., the meat of which gave me entire satisfaction, being a good color, and cut 

 to good advantage, and I might add that I never had as good a calf in every 

 particular of any other breed. 



KONINGIN VAN FRIESLAND PIETERTJE. 



Mr. George W. Knorr, Clarks Station, Ky., in a prize article which appeared 

 in the Holstein-Friesian Register, March 1, 1892, said : " When Holstein calves 

 are fed with the same care that cows are fed, very satisfactory weights are 

 obtained, equalling or even surpassing those of any beef breed. I do not pro- 

 fess much skill in this line, in fact am just beginning to learn ; yet my veals 

 rarely fall below 150 Ibs. in weight at six weeks old, and frequently attain 200 

 Ibs. The heaviest veals I have obtained so far were one which weighed 210 Ibs. 

 at seven weeks, and another 220 at five weeks. (This last, however, had the 

 phenomenal weight of 124 Ibs. at birth to start with.) My skim-milk sepa- 

 rator-skimmed when fed to calves, returns three and four cents per gallon. 

 Poor produce will fetch poor prices, good produce good prices, and extra good 

 produce extra good prices. This applies to everything sold off of the farm, and 

 to veal as well. Every Holstein calf has the stuff in it to make extra good 

 veal, with proper care, and will realize prices accordingly. My neighbor has to 

 haul to market four 90-lb. calves of indifferent color, for every one which I 

 sell."
