FINE HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN CATTLE. 
You have asked me to furnish you with 
photographs showing a good bull of the 
Holstein-Friesian breed, a cow and a calf 
resulting from this cross. I send you the 
photographs of three animals; Fig. 252, 
page 522, is Aaggie Cornucopia Pauline 
Count 29640. This famous sire is one of 
the premier bulls in Star Farm herd; born 
March 23, 1901, his sire is Pauline Paul 
Count 2d 22909, that nicks the blood of 
Pauline Paul and De Kol 2d. He has 
18 daughters in the list, and is a grand- 
sire of the peerless Aaggie Cornucopia 
Pauline, the four-year-old champion cow 
of the world. The dam, Aaggie Cornu¬ 
copia Pauline 48426, is undoubtedly the 
most wonderful cow in the world to-day; 
she was officially tested in her two-year- 
old form, again in her three-year-old 
form, and her four-year-old form. She 
made a world’s record by producing in an 
official test in seven days 659.2 pounds of 
milk, 34.52 pounds of butter; in 30 days 
she produced 2,064.3 pounds of milk and 
137.10 pounds of butter, a record never 
exceeded but once, and that by a mature 
cow after she had a rest of about two 
years before freshening. After Aaggie 
Cornucopia Pauline had finished her 
world’s record, I purchased her son, Aag¬ 
gie Cornucopia Pauline Count, for $3,000, 
and placed him at the head of Star Farm 
herd. That he combines the best blood 
of the Holstein-Friesian breed of cattle, 
barring Mercedes Julip’s Pietertje Paul 
29830, the first premier sire at the head of 
Star Farm herd, I think would hardly be 
disputed. 
This bull is of the strict dairy type and 
has been pronounced by good judges a 
perfect specimen. All of his daughters to 
be officially tested have made the require¬ 
ments of advanced registry, and as a rule 
have averaged about four per cent butter 
fat, while giving a large flow of milk. 
Fig. 253 is the heifer named Segis Inka 
McKinley 62411: born August 26, 1902. 
During the past Winter she was officially 
tested, and in seven days produced 526.4 
pounds of milk, 23.03 pounds of butter, 
leading in the four-year-old junior class. 
Her dam, A. G. Inka McKinley, has an 
official record of 28.60 pounds of butter, 
and her 30-day record for butter is 118.26 
pounds. Her grand-dam, Segis Inka, has 
an official seven-day record of 28.04 
pounds of butter. 
Fig. 255 is the young heifer calf Star 
Farm Aaggie Cornucopia 91445; her sire 
was Aaggie Cornucopia Pauline Count and 
the dam Segis Inka McKinley. Her four 
dams in three nearest generations aver¬ 
aged over 28.5 pounds of butter in seven 
days. It should be noted that while the 
dam is in color nearly all black, as was 
her dam and grand-dam, yet the heifer 
calf is nicely marked, black and white, 
very much indeed like its famous sire, 
Aaggie Cornucopia Pauline Count; thus 
we find that we can nick the blood of a 
prepotent sire upon a dam of opposite 
color markings and produce an offspring 
perfectly marked and strongly resembling 
the sire. It will also be noted that the 
little calf, Star Farm Aaggie Cornucopia, 
is ideal and could stand the most severe 
criticism as to dairy conformation and 
general appearance. The “Count,” as I 
have said, was purchased for $3,000, and 
the dam, Segis Inka McKinley, could not 
be bought for that amount; the offspring, 
Star Farm Aaggie Cornucopia, could not 
be bought short of $5,000. To further il¬ 
lustrate this idea of prepotency, I send you 
the picture of the young heifer, Matildia 
Cornucopia De Kol, Fig. 254; she is an¬ 
other daughter of the “Count” bull. Note 
close resemblance between the two color 
markings and conformation. One might 
well infer that they were own sisters. 
However, such is not the case, for the 
family likeness is due solely to the pre¬ 
potency of the sire. It is worthy of note 
that it costs no more for the breeder or 
farmer to raise this class of stock than 
it does the unproductive scrubs, that do 
not pay the cost of their care and keep 
from year to year; one should also note 
that it is possible by nicking great strains 
of Holstein-Friesian blood to raise the 
standard of excellence in each generation, 
thereby enhancing the value of the fam¬ 
ily. HORACE L. BRONSON. 
BROKEN WIND. 
I have a mare apparently in Rood health, 
plenty of flesh, ambition and a splendid appe¬ 
tite, but when worked to plow or harrow, or if 
she gets wet, there is a short, hard cough, 
running at nose and breathing very much 
(juickened. As she exhales an intermittent 
gurgling sound is heard at the last. No 
lumps of any consequence under jaw or throat. 
Pulse is normal and I notice no unnatural 
sound from lungs. This cough is at least of 
a year’s existence. The mare came here from 
St. Louis, probably from a high altitude to 
St. Txuiis. Have tried to cauterise by letting 
her breathe a little unslaked lime, but it 
seems to do no good. f. w. l. 
Arkansas. 
There can be little question that the 
mare is afflicted with what horsemen term 
broken wind, otherwise known as heaves, 
or technically as emphysema of the lungs. 
This trouble often assumes the character 
of asthma, affecting the animal worst in 
wet or muggy weather and always is ag¬ 
gravated by working when the stomach is 
full. Cough is a prominent symptom of 
heaves, and the abdominal heaving, or 
double bellows-like action of the abdomi¬ 
nal muscles, is seen during exhalation of 
air. Heaves is incurable, but the distress 
may be greatly lessened by giving affected 
animals double the rest usually allowed 
after a meal, feeding no bulky food at 
noon, wetting all food, preferring oat 
straw to hay or fodder in Winter and 
allowing grass in Summer in place of the 
straw. We would advise giving her half 
an ounce of Fowler’s solution of arsenic 
night and morning for 10 days and then, 
if much improved, reduce the dose daily un¬ 
til in a week or so she is doing without the 
medicine. For the cough, if it should per¬ 
sist, give half to one ounce of glyco-heroin 
two or three times daily. For the wetting 
of the food use lime water and see to it 
that the stable is kept well ventilated, as 
noxious gases in dirty or unventilated sta¬ 
bles often prove sufficiently irritating to 
cause chronic cough. In conclusion, it 
may be stated that it is of course quite 
possible that the mare may have a poly¬ 
pus (tumor) in nostril which might cause 
the distress described or be affected with 
some throat trouble having a like effect, 
but as to these things, one could not say 
positively without making a personal ex¬ 
amination. A. S. ALEXANDER, V. S. 
DISFIGURING ECZEMA 
Spread from Ear to Cheek — Best 
Doctors Did Not Cure It—Lasted 
Five Years, But Speedily 
Cured by the Use of 
Cuticura. 
“I had been troubled with eczema for 
five vears on my ear and it began to 
extend on my cheek. I had been doc¬ 
toring with the best physicians, but found 
no relief whatever. As the medicines 
and salves did me no good, I thought I 
would get the ‘Magic Three,’ Cuticura 
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura 
Pills, costing me one-half of one visit to 
my physician. I can truthfully state that 
I found instant relief. When I had used 
three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and 
two cakes of Cuticura Soap I found my 
skin as soft and fine as a baby’s. I am 
persuading my friends to use Cuticura 
Soap and give up the kinds they were 
using. Miss Netta Ayers, 331 Franklin
