November 21, 
THE HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN STORY. 
Part III. 
The fat globules of Holstein milk 
are small, and consequently the milk 
does not cream readily; with centrif¬ 
ugal machines, however, this is no ob¬ 
jection. The butter contains a large 
percentage of olein oil, and melts 
easily; in fact the melting point is 
two or three degrees lower than Jer¬ 
sey butter. The composition of Hol¬ 
stein milk is said to be most similar 
to the human mother product. The 
small fat globules, and the relatively 
smaller amount of fat in proportion to 
the other milk solids, render the milk 
of Holsteins more digestible than the 
richer milk and larger fat globules of 
the Jersey and Guernsey, and more 
suitable for the building up of a strong 
human frame. 
A Holstein-Friesian calf must be 
black and white in order to be entitled 
to registration. The proportion of 
black and white, however, is not at 
at all constant in the breed. Some in¬ 
dividuals are almost pure white and 
others ar« nearly all black. A few 
years ago the choice was toward white 
rather than black. At the present time 
—with many breeders at any rate—the 
desire seems to be to have the two 
colors about equally divided. For a 
herd of cows showing a large propor¬ 
tion of black, a bull of the opposite 
color would be used, while a herd of 
white cows would require a dark bull 
to proportion the colors equally in the 
calves. Of course, color markings are 
always a secondary consideration; no 
breeder would allow his fancy in this 
pounds. In 1886 Clothilde won a prize 
at the New York dairy show for the 
most butter in two days. Her daugh¬ 
ter won second prize at the same time. 
Pauline Paul, a few years later, gave 
1,154 pounds of butter in one year. 
She traced in one line to Texalaar. In 
1895 De Kol 2d made 536J4 pounds 
milk and 26.576 pounds butter in seven 
days. This record stood supreme until 
beaten by Netherland Hengerveld in 
1896, with 544 pounds milk and 26.066 
pounds butter in seven days. In 1901 
Beryl Wayne beat these records with 
608 pounds and 27.87 pounds butter| 
Since the year 1901 this record has been 
been surpassed by about 60 cows. 
Some families of Holsteins, for in¬ 
stance, the Ormsbys, Korndykes and 
Canaries, show a percentage of fat 
above the average Holstein-Friesian 
cow. Butter Boy 3d was famous as 
a sire of champion butter cows. Many 
noted cows have established families, 
for example, the Hengervelds, De Kols, 
Korndykes, Burks, Pietertjes, Iukas, 
I^ontiacs, etc., but a satisfactory defini¬ 
tion of a Holstein family has never 
been formulated. It is obvious that 
many cows combine the blood of sev¬ 
eral famous animals—founders of fam¬ 
ilies—and sometimes it is a difficult 
matter to decide where a given animal 
should be placed. 
Ip order to show what Holstein cows 
are doing at the present time, I will 
close this sketch with a list of Hoi- 
stein-Friesian champions, compiled by 
Mr. Henry Trucked, of Lacona, N. Y., 
and published in the July (1908) num¬ 
ber of the Holstein-Friesian World. 
COLANTHA JOHANNA LAD, SON OF A WORLD CHAMPION COW. 
respect to interfere with breeding for 
performance. When crossed with other 
breeds the Holsteins are usually pre¬ 
potent in color; that is, the calves will 
in most cases be black and white—with 
a tendency toward the darker color. 
Some bulls invariably get black and 
white calves when crossed with other 
breeds, while others—apparently equally 
as vigorous—often fail to leave their 
color markings on their offspring. The 
prepotency of Holstein cattle over other 
breeds is probably due to the great age 
of the breed, and to the fact that no 
alien blood was ever known to have 
been introduced into the countries of 
their origin. 
A complete history of Holstein-Fries¬ 
ian cattle in this country would in¬ 
clude records of hundreds of cows. In 
a sketch of this kind only a few can 
be mentioned. Two of Mr. Chenery’s 
cows started records. Texalaar gave 
over 76 pounds of milk in one day. and 
averaged 74 pounds per day in June. 
Of Miller’s animals, Crown Princess 
and Frauline, made about as good rec¬ 
ords as Chenery’s. In 1880 Aaggie es¬ 
tablished the first yearly record; Aegis 
stood second with 16,000 pounds. Aag¬ 
gie held first place for two years, then 
Echo gave 18,120 pounds in one year. 
She was half sister to Aegi .and de¬ 
scended from Crown Princess and 
Frauline. In 1883 Jamaica gave 112 
pounds of milk in one day, and held 
the one-day record for several years. 
The records of Clothilde and Pietertje 
2nd. have already been mentioned in this 
article. Previous to the year 1882 lit¬ 
tle attention was paid to butter records. 
In 1883 the Breeder’s Gazette offered 
a cup for the largest amount of but¬ 
ter produced by any cow in 30 days. 
Mercedes, a Holstein, won, with 101 
This list will be sufficient evidence of 
the fact that the Holstein is not alone 
a great milk producing cow, but a won¬ 
derful producer of butter as well. 
Every year many previous records are 
broken, and no one has the hardihood 
to prophesy when the limit of produc¬ 
tiveness will be reached. Certainly, 
verified records of to-day would have 
been considered little short of mirac¬ 
ulous a generation ago.

and all this Summer until now. We have 
not been aide to get a cow with calf this 
Summer. He has been here two years, was 
all right until this Spring. What is the 
trouble ? g. x. n. 
With the information at hand it is 
hard to say what is the trouble with the 
bull. He probably needs exercise and 
perhaps he has been fed on a too fat¬ 
tening ration. Do not feed him any 
silage or corn products, but give him 
some, ground oats or bran with his hay. 
A tread power would give him splendid 
exercise, or if this is not practical, hitch 
him to a sweep pole. j. g. m.
