THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 12, 
IMPROVING GRADE DAIRY STOCK . 
The sire of the cow shown at Fig. 364, 
first page, was a purebred registered Hol¬ 
stein bull, and her mother was a grade 
Holstein. The dam of this cow was an 
unusually heavy and persistent milker; 
there is no doubt that she gave as high 
as 70 pounds of milk in one day. The 
cow pictured, never gave as much as her 
mother; she has given, however, in sev¬ 
eral successive seasons over 60 pounds of 
milk per day when fresh. Her milk usual¬ 
ly tested about 3.6 to 3.7 butter fat. You 
will notice in color markings she is more 
black than white; she is of the correct 
dairy type; heavy, deep-bodied, wedge- 
shaped, high over, the pelvic arch, fine 
handling qualities; heavy-veined with deep 
milk wells and a magnificently formed 
udder. Last season we bred this cow to 
a registered Holstein bull, “Aaggie Cornu¬ 
copia Cornelia Count.” 
Fig. 365 shows her calf at one day old, 
dropped this Spring. The little fellow is 
so young that we could not get a good 
picture of him, but he is now straightened 
out and grown into a lovely animal. Take 
a heifer calf with this same breeding 
and there is a strong presumption that 
properly cared for and fed, she will make 
a heavy producer. Of course, the best 
calves may be stunted and made worth¬ 
less. Such a cow would probably present 
a fair proportion of calves marked black 
and white, even though not bred to a 
registered Holstein bull. But after all, 
it would be impossible to say just what 
percentage would be black and white. 
There is an element of uncertainty in 
the proposition due to the fact that some 
females are more prepotent than others. 
If the sire is more prepotent than the 
dam, he will in a majority of cases mark 
his offspring after himself. On the other 
hand, if the dam is more prepotent than 
the sire that she is bred to, in a majority 
of cases her offspring will generally be 
marked like herself. 
Fig. 363, first page, shows a registered 
Holstein bull with markings very nearly 
the same as the sire of the calf. I never 
have known this bull to get a red and 
white calf, although he was used at one 
time on grades; he is backed by high 
official milk and butter records and his 
individuality is as good as pedigree. His 
sire’s dam and grand-dam averaged be¬ 
tween 4.5 and 5 per cent butter fat; his 
dam made over 20 pounds of butter in a 
week. Now, if we take a bull bred like 
this for generations past, a bull backed 
by high authenticated milk and butter 
records and use him upon grade cows, 
red and white for instance, it would be 
safe to predict that over 80 per cent of 
his get would be marked black and white. 
In this connection there is one feature 
well established, but not explained; that 
is, the get of the registered bull with the 
grade cow will usually run darker in 
color than either the sire or the dam. 
This does not hold true with registered 
Holsteins. For this reason, the dairyman 
who contemplates using a registered Hol¬ 
stein bull upon his grade cows, should 
select an animal marked more white than 
black. In conclusion, what can the dairy 
man reasonably expect to get from his 
first crop of grade cows? From his 
registered Holstein bull and black and 
white cattle, I should say 90 per cent 
black and white cows, that will give, 
when fresh, properly fed and cared for. 
from 20 to 25 quarts of milk per day. 
Star Farm supplies hundreds of dairymen 
with registered Holstein bulls to use upon 
their grade cows with eminent success. 
Generally they have doubled the milk 
producing capacity of their herd; they 
hat e supplanted unsightly cows with 
handsomely marked attractive grade Hol¬ 
steins. They have nearly all doubled 
their annual receipts for milk and butter; 
they have beautified their homes by get¬ 
ting rid of unsightly objects and filling 
their places with animals pleasing to the 
eye; animals that adorn, rather than dis¬ 
figure the country home.

HAD TERRIBLE ECZEMA

Worse Under Best Medical Treat= 
ment—Skin Now Smooth as Ever. 
Used Cuticura Remedies. 
‘‘Some time ago I suffered terribly with 
eczema, and I had the best medical at¬ 
tendance, but the more medicine I took 
the worse it seemed to get. J kept on 
with medicine for about five weeks until 
I saw the Cuticura Remedies advertised, 
and I at once purchased the Cuticura 
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura 
Resolvent, but bad not the slightest hope 
of them curing me. After I had used the 
first set of the Cuticura Remedies 1 saw 
the improvement, and in just six weeks 
my skin was as smooth as ever. I advise 
any one suffering from this terrible dis¬ 
ease to use the Cuticura Remedies. Henry
