THE STORY OF A DAIRY HERD. 
I send the individual milk yield of my 
purebred Holstein-Friesian cattle from 
January 2 to July 1, 1911; also esti¬ 
mated cost of milk production and price 
received at creamery. The R. N.-Y. put 
it into my head to weigh each cow’s 
milk to find out which were the poor 
cows. I had one; she has been sold. 
This record was made without silage, 
it is well to be sure you are dealing with 
an honest man with a reputation for 
fair dealing and a good name to sustain. 
There are just as many honest breeders 
as there are honest men in any business, 
and just as many crooks. So,'go just as 
carefully as you can, and get good reg¬ 
istered stock, and by all means from 
herds that have have a good record. 
j. c. ROPER. 
R. N.-Y.—The Breeders’ Association 
is now very careful about registering 
animals. The only way for the breeder 
mentioned to escape detection would 
have been to substitute the grade calf for 
one of about the same age that had

but I have bought a silo for this Win¬

their herd yields, cost of producing 
same and kinds of feed fed. Although 
my herd yield is not large, profits are 
fair, and I think I can do better with 
silage and Alfalfa, of which I expect to 
put in four acres next year. g. d. w. 
Somerville;, N. J. 
Home of the Black and White. 
The first page picture, Fig. 397, shows 
the herd on the dairy farm of H. A. 
Robinson & Son, Chenango Co., N. Y. 
The cows are coming from pasture and 
make a scene familiar to dairymen in 
that section. Mr. Robinson makes the 
following statement which will be new 
to many of our readers: 
There has been a club formed of the 
breeders of Holstein-Friesian cattle of 
Madison and Chenango counties. There are 
between 300 and 400 members of the Hol¬ 
stein-Friesian Association living in these 
two counties, and I think over half are 
members of the club and it is expected that 
nearly all will join in the near future. 
A few facts were brought out by the last 
census that are worthy of notice. There 
are more registered Holstein-Friesian cattle 
in Madison and Chenango counties than in 
any other section of the world of the 
same size except Holland, and more world's 
records have been made here than in any 
other section of like area. 
With this great development of the 
purebred black and white cattle siloes 
are springing up everywhere, and 
Alfalfa is coming in. It is a wonderful 
dairy section. 
“Make the Papers Fit.” 
While the writer was traveling 
through the county of Saratoga re¬ 
cently, this subject was forcibly brought 
to mind by an object lesson. A promi¬ 
nent breeder of registered Guernsey cat¬ 
tle was showing us his fine stock, and 
he had some calves in the stable that we 
particularly admired. One was marked 
very fine and was only a few days 
older than another calf that was not so 
nicely marked. This man said: “The 
one that is so nicely marked is only 
fifteen-sixteenths Guernsey, while the 
other calf is eligible to registration and 
has a fine pedigree, and in two weeks no 
man can tell which is the oldest calf, 
and if I were inclined to be dishonest, 
why could I not have the grade regis¬ 
tered, as that is a better marked indi¬ 
vidual, and call the other calf the grade? 
No one would know the difference but 
myself, but it would be deception. While 
the grade might make just as good a 
cow, yet the breeding is lacking, which 
is the main point in registered cattle.” 
In buying any kind of registered stock 
died. That is perhaps the most common 
trick. The Guernsey people are careful 
and try to surround the registry with 
many safeguards, but, as Mr. Roper 
states, the surest plan is to deal only 
with honest breeders. You must rely 
upon the breeder’s word more or less, 
anyway. The “papers must fit the cows,” 
and you will do well to keep away from 
jockeys and traders when you are after 
purebred stock.

Grade up your common stock with a Purebred 
HOLSTEIN SIRE 
It won’t be long before you’ll have a fine money¬ 
making herd. 
Holstein Bulls impress their characteristics 
upon any blood with which they come in contact, 
and their calves are thrifty from the start. 
You can’t afford to use a scrub bull. A Purebred Hol¬ 
stein Sire is soon paid for by the improved milking 
capacity of his daughters and the increasing value of the 
herd is all clear profit.
