Live Stock and Dairy 
LIVE STOCK IDEALS. 
While attending the recent Ohio 
State Fair, it was very evident to the 
writer that the live stock industry is a 
very important one to Ohio people; the 
stock seemed even better than ever be¬ 
fore, and there was certainly more 
stock exhibited than at any previous 
fair. After noting the large numbers, 
the next thing that attracted one’s at¬ 
tention was the uniformity of the indi¬ 
viduals on show, and this means that 
all breeders have certain ideals in com- 
THIS MODERN ANGUS TYPE. Fig. 498. 
mon. In brief these ideals for beef cat¬ 
tle are an ideal shape, a fine quality of 
beef and a small percentage of waste. 
What the beef men are striving for, 
is cattle having greater weight and 
depth of bod)'', shorter legs and smooth¬ 
er exteriors, which means cattle that 
will finish easily and quickly, attain a 
great weight and make good use of the 
feed consumed. Every student of an¬ 
atomy knows that there is a definite 
correlation between different parts of 
an animal’s body; long legs mean a long 
neck and large coarse bones in the rest 
of the skeleton, which usually means a 
general lack of flesh and poor feeding 
and assimilative ability. It is just this 
condition that our beef cattle men are 
getting away from, and the writer is 
well pleased that Ohio cattle men are 
in the front rank of the advance. The 
accompanying pictures, Figs. 498 and 499, 
are of typical animals, raised in Ohio, 
and representative of our beef cattle. 
Though the production of baby beef is 
not very general yet, the finishing of 
cattle for market at 12 and 14 months 
is becoming of increasing interest, and 
it takes just such cattle as the ones 
shown here to get ready for market in 
such short periods. Of course the feed 
is an important matter, 'but that is an¬ 
other story. 
The dairy cow is getting more promi¬ 
nent every year, as she should, for while 
'HIE SHORT-HORN TYPE. Fig. 499. 
we might live without beef yet the 
withdrawal of the dairy products from 
our bill of fare would be a very serious 
matter indeed. There have, in past 
years, been good shows of dairy cattle 
at our fairs, but this year it seemed 
that all previous records were broken. 
The individuals were excellent and in 
large numbers. The ideals of dairy cat¬ 
tle men are in brief, better quality of 
milk and more of it. With this ideal 
of production the law of correlation 
gives us a definite form of animal, the 
dairy type, and this type was much in 
evidence in the dairy herds exhibited. 
After making a study of this kind one 
gets away from the idea of dual-pur¬ 
pose cattle, and though there are profit¬ 
able herds of such animals, yet the 
handling of highly specialized animals 
would certainly be much more profitable 
under similar conditions.

LINCOLNSHIRE CURLY-COATED SWINE. 
The Ohio State Univerity has just 
received from England five head of Lin¬ 
colnshire Curly-coated pigs., the first 
of this breed to be imported to Ameri¬ 
ca. This is a white breed, resembling 
the Chester White, but with a rather 
large ear and a very curly coat of hair. 
It is a breed that has been long known 
in eastern England, especially in Lin¬ 
colnshire, but has not attracted much 
attention until recently, where at the 
Smithfield Fat Stock Show and at the 
Royal Society Show, a good record was 
made. Among the pigs received by the 
University are three barrows, and these 
will be shown at the next International 
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, and 
two of them entered in the carcase test.

GEESE VS. COW. 
IIow many geese can be kept instead of 
a cow, or can one keep five geese on what 
one cow eats, say pasture in the Summer 
and corn for both in the Winter? D. w. v. 
Raising geese as a material part of a 
man’s income is a risky business to say 
the least, and can only be recommended 
where land is cheap and the supply of 
water abundant. Usually the most sat¬ 
isfactory results are obtained by rais¬ 
ing them in small numbers and allowing 
them free range. I would estimate that 
at least 10 or 12 geese could be kept in 
place of a cow, but under different con¬ 
ditions this estimate might be subject 
to considerable variation. Geese do not 
require feeding in Summer if allowed 
free range. Their Winter feed should 
be a mash of equal parts by measure 
of bran, middlings and ground barley 
or cornmeal, with about five per cent of 
beef scraps added. This mash should 
be fed sparingly in the morning, and 
cracked corn or whole oats given at 
night. C. S. GREENE. 
FALL FEEDING DAIRY COWS. 
It is all but the universal custom to 
feed dairy cows to some extent through 
the Fall months. Dairymen differ as to 
the time of beginning to feed, and, of 
course, we all differ with different seas¬ 
ons. Some feed from the middle of 
July, while others delay, if possible, un¬ 
til September or later. No matter when 
one begins so far as it relates to the 
care in feeding, which is the thought I 
am after at this time. I have seen men 
throw in feed without any attention to 
the cow that is expected to eat it. Per¬ 
haps the cow that eats the most when 
she gets all she wants, is fed the least 
of any in the stable. That, however, is 
not so bad as it is to give the cow that 
will eat but a small allowance, the 
quantity that the big eater needs. If 
a cow is underfed at any time, it may 
be possible to bring up the feed later, 
but if a cow is overfed for a few times 
she gets in the habit of leaving a part, 
and that will be the part that is least 
relished. When that habit is formed, 
it is pretty hard to break it, and the 
cow that has it is sure to make a poorer 
return at the pail than the cow that 
clears the manger at every feed. “Them 
cows dassent do any way but eat every¬ 
thing,” remarked the hired man, when 
some one suggested that they might not 
eat large stalks of fodder corn that 
were being put in. There was a good 
bit of truth in that remark. The cows 
had been accustomed to eat what was 
given them, and they ate the more of 
it. Care is needed for such results.
