Holstein Milk and the 
Color Fallacy 
SHORTHAND 
Exhaustive experiments by the University of Missouri 
show that the natural yellow coloring of cream and 
butter is derived from Carotin, a yellow pigment found 
in fresh green feeds. For some unexplained reason, 
some breeds of cows make more use of Carotin than do 
others, when making their milk, but the butter maker 
who adds a vegetable coloring matter to butter is only 
doing what the cow would do, if she had feeds rich in 
Carotin. High color in cream or butter does not 
denote richness in butterfat. Holstein cows' milk 
is naturally light colored, but nch in body and tissue building solids, 
and in vitality: and Holstein cows are the most economical producers 
of milk and butter, and their yield is more constant than that of any 
other dairy breed.
