straight tops and iho pleasing fronts that 
many of the winners possessed. 
In tin 1 female classes were some ex¬ 
ceptional animals. The breeders l hem- 
selves have discarded the objective that 
seemingly guided them during previous 
years, llmt of combining meat making 
with milk making functions, and have 
rather centered their ideals in producing 
a distinctly dairy animal. The improve¬ 
ment in udders, the achievement of intro¬ 
ducing much-needed refinement, and the 
adding of quality throughout the animal's 
make-up. are a distinct advance. When 
one realizes thn'r there are more Drown 
Swiss entile in the State of Illinois than 
there are Guernseys, and that the breed 
is rapidly gaining in favor in Wisconsin. 
.Miniie>oia and Ohio, this ought to be en¬ 
couraging to the breeders, who have in¬ 
sisted all along, in spite of rather sharp 
criticism, that there is a place for this 
breed in this country. jVrhaps the 
achievement of Hawthorne Dairy Maid 
in producing 22.050 lbs. of milk ami 027 
lbs. of fat in a year served as an eye- 
opener to dairy cat tic breeders. Al¬ 
though she has been milking for 17 
months she was fitted and exhibited at 
I It is show, but had to be Content with sec¬ 
ond honors in the aged cow das-, The 
K’-year-o'd matron shown by I In- Hill 
Druthers’ Company of I'niiiesville, ().. 
Swiss Valley Girl VII, was awarded first 
prize in the aged cow class. She has an 
official record made during her tenth lac¬ 
tation period of nearly 11.000 lbs of 
milk. Age Inis been more Ilian kind to 
her. for she entered the ring with the 
spirit and grace of a youngster, and at 
no time did she evidence the fact that site 
had been a persistent producer and re¬ 
producer for so many years. She carried 
a beautiful udder, one that was well at¬ 
tached behind and curried well forward in 
front, evenly balanced throughout and 
glovelike in its texture. Dairy Maid 
perhaps represented a more ideal type in 
her conformation, more particularly in 
her front and middle, but her udder was 
of faulty conformation and did not add 
to her symmetry or dairy form. The 
Ohio cow wits stronger in her mammary 
development and displayed equally as 
much constitutional vigor. 
In the class for bulls four years old or 
older, two outstanding contenders were 
recognized. Nellie’s Stasis, shown by D. 
S. Marshall & Son. Michigan, defeated 
Veronica's College Doy, shown by X. C. 
Schmid of Wisconsin. The first prize 
bull displayed slraighter lines, was deeper 
in bis body, more refined at shoulder, and 
more thasculine in head, neck and general 
carriage. The second prize bull Was longer, 
matched in a bold, .straightforward fash¬ 
ion, though some criticized his lack of 
filling hack of the shoulders and thought 
that he was a little knotty at bis tail set¬ 
ting. In any event these two bulls were 
cleanly the best representatives that the 
breed has presented at a National Dairy 
Show, and their influence in improving 
the type and general appearance of the 
breed ought to be keenly fell. Naturally 
some of the individual classes failed to 
represent the modern trend of improve¬ 
ment within the breed; some of the breed¬ 
ers still dinging to the old-fashioned bull¬ 
dog elephant type. Straight bonks are 
seemingly neglected, and the continued 
use of bulls carrying heavy shoulders and 
representing the wasp-waisted make-up 
must be discarded if the breed is to con¬ 
tinue its forward march. 
It was the general comment of ringside 
spectators that the female classes were 
manifestly stronger than the bull classes. 
Here again it is hoped that the breeders 
will insist upon more quality and re¬ 
finement. that they will emphasize the 
importance of capacious middles, more 
heart girth, and udders which are more 
pleasing in appearance. Unquestionably 
representative* of this breed are good 
foragers and are capable of consuming a 
tremendous amount of coarse feed. If 
the breeders continue their constructive 
work and insist upon building for more 
symmetry and more uniformity it is en¬ 
tirely possible that the breed eventually 
will enjoy a more general distribution. 
A V1SSII IKES 
The display of Ayrshire* failed to rep¬ 
resent either in number or quality the 
standing or popularity of this breed in 
America. While the entries were widely 
scattered and emanated from more herds 
than were ever represented before, due to 
the St it I e herds, yet the fact remains that 
the classes were idatively small and that 
too many tail-emlers were in them. Four 
animals contended in the aged bull class. 
Howey’s King of Hearts, shown by Adam 
Seitz & Sons of Wisconsin, was made 
Senior and finally Grand Champion, and 
was clearly the outstanding bull of this 
group. 11 is great size, wonderful depth, 
masculine front and stylish appearance 
captivated both the judge and the on¬ 
lookers. Darelay's Doch-cn-Doris dis¬ 
played more quality, was more refined 
about the shoulders, but lacked the con¬ 
stitutional vigor and the prepossessing 
characteristics that the winner possessed. 
The young bull classes comprised many 
youngsters that failed to combine beauty 
and evident prepotency in the form I hat 
Ayrshire breeders in general have adopt¬ 
ed in the. selecting of their herd headers. 
Studies of the National Dairy Show 
Paht II. 
The closest decision was forced in the 
two-year-old class. Two types were 
found and the judge felt flint Ga\ Girl’s 
Golden Secret of Overland was more of the 
type of tin 1 first prize aged bull, though he 
lacked the style, quality or dairy make¬ 
up that the Iowa hull. Momenta of High¬ 
land Place, shown by Joseph G'dinvuttx 
of Waterloo, presented. The firm prize 
bull was wide and faulty at his knees, 
rather puppy headed, lacked strength and 
straightness of back. He was more desir¬ 
able at the tail, head and hind legs, and 
perhaps thicker than his contender. The 
Iowa hull was masterfully shown, was 
stronger in hack, possessed belter color, 
more quality, a deeper body, and was 
inlii'li more desirable in bis bead and car¬ 
riage of aoek. Tie was small, bill dis¬ 
played every evidence of grow l hi ness and 
masculinity. 
W. \V. Marsh of Waterloo won bis 
first blue iu the under I wo years old class. 
May Rose Cherub defended his laurels 
and was made the Junior Champion. 
While upstanding stud rather slvallow- 
headed. he possessed a great front, a 
beautiful top. splendid color, and marched 
about with rare style and carriage. 
(’ltertib’s Royal Header of Sborewood, 
owned b.v D. D. Tenney of Minnesota, 
won in the yearling class, while Moun¬ 
tain Brothers of Iowa won the unbal¬ 
anced calf class with ihe overgrown en¬ 
try. Kitchen Defiance of Iowanola. Doth 
youngsters are growing one end at a time, 
and the judge was in doubt as to which 
one ought to be honored. 
In the aged cow class were two chief 
contenders for first pace. Jeanette of 
the Prairie II.. owned by W. W. Marsh 
of Iowa, carried more depth of body, her 
udder was more glovelike and was at¬ 
tached higher behind. She had a fault¬ 
less top. splendid shoulders and was sweet 
and breedy in appearance. A larger and 
more capacious udder, with a more highly 
developed mammary system would have 
stamped her as outstanding. Her con¬ 
tender was Mu Chore Princess, exhibited 
by II. & F. D. StOUl of Wisconsin, ex¬ 
celled in size and shape of udder, in 
placement of tears and iu breed type. 
She was fault \ in the shoulders and 
rather inclined to wing or throw them 
out when standing. She was the kind 
any breeder would delight iti breeding, 
for she was open in her conformation, 
sweet and feminine at bead and nock, and 
was wedgy from every angle. She bad 
more desirable coloring of the skin, 
though it was harsh and not as glove-like 
as that of the winner. 
Hassle, of Maplewood, shown by Victor 
Stelle of Minnesota, headed the two-year- 
olds. and displayed a glovelike udder, 
though lacking that general appearance 
that is so delightful when the top line is 
strong and straight. The Junior Cham¬ 
pion was Admiration of the Prairie, 
shown by Marsh, heading the class of 
yearling heifers. While inclined to be 
coarse, she was large, displayed a prom¬ 
ising udder, though deficient iti refine¬ 
ment. Cherry Ripe of the Prairie headed 
the under-a-year class for Marsh, though 
two entries of Rueping were the ring side 
favorites. Doth of these entries abound¬ 
ed in color and real Guernsey type, and 
did not show the faulty ends that the 
winner displayed. The smutty-nosed 
Cherub’s Hnssie of Sborewood stood high¬ 
est in the calf class. While large and 
straight, she kicked the refinement and 
sweetness that the Iiueping calf repre¬ 
sented. 
The one feature of the Guernsey Show 
that stood out conspicuously was the 
great number of Official Record cows that 
were shown. The new A. A. class leader. 
Pearl’s Dot. with n record of IP,002..“ 
lbs. of milk and 1X53.S lbs. of fat. attract¬ 
ed much comment. Her best day’s milk 
was 7S.7 lbs., and this amount of milk 
was bottled and displayed in pint bottles 
to emphasize what she actually accom¬ 
plished. The owner sold her year's pro¬ 
duction of milk at 15 cents per quart at 
the farm, which brought in a gross of 
SI..'507.5s, Perhaps the. most remarkable 
thing about the cow is the fact that she 
is one of six full sisters, four of which 
tire class leaders, and the fifth has pro¬ 
duced 5.17 lbs. in 2*2 days, and lias only 
500 lbs. to heat to become the fifth class 
leader. These heifers have two full 
brothers. ’J’lte dam. (term’d Pearl, has 
produced 10 living calves and is now safe 
in calf. Her owner. M. T. Phillips of 
Pomeroy. Pa., is justly proud of this 
achievement. It is an unequuled accom¬ 
plishment In constructive breeding. No 
other cow ever attained the distinction of 
producing five class lenders. 
THE BROWN swiss 
The showing made by the breeders of 
Drown Swiss cattle has excelled any ef¬ 
fort that has been put forth in tins coun¬ 
try to advance the interests of Ibis breed. 
More improvement has been made by l be 
breeders of this t_\ pc during the past dec¬ 
ade than has prevailed with any other 
breed or type of farm animals. Instead 
of parading the logy, heavy-fronted, nar¬ 
row-chested specimens that previously 
predominated, it was pleasing to note Ihe 
—“ I have now used a De Laval 
Milker for three years and will never 
milk by hand any more.” 
We could quote indefinitely from 
among the thousands of satisfied De 
Laval users; but ‘’The Better Way 
of Milking.” a beautifully illustrated 
book, contains the ex¬ 
periences of De Laval 
Milker users from all sec¬ 
tions of the country. We 
shall be glad to send it to 
you on request. 
If you are milking ten 
or more cows by hand 
you arc more than paying 
for a De Laval Milker, 
because it 
1. Increases milk production; 
2. Saves time and labor; 
3. Produces cleaner milk; 
4. Makes dairying more pleasant; 
5. Makes more money.

this and the following: 
—“The De Laval 
Milker makes it possible 
for me to take care of 20 
cows alone and do all my 
other work. * You can 
make no mistake in own¬ 
ing one.” 
—“After usingthe De Laval Milker 
for nearly three years, we find it is all 
and more than you ciaim for it.” 
—“My cows take very kindly to 
the De Laval and their production 
has increased from its use.”
