Dairying in Colorado. 
Eastern, breeders have overlooked the 
recent dairy development of the West, 
and particularly the demand for purebred 
sires for grading up herds, and the field 
is an open one which Western breeders 
are unable to supply at this time, to 
Siiy nothing of the increased demands of 
the future. Western farmers who start 
now in the business of breeding purebred 
dairy cattle will be richly rewarded. 
The above is taken from a printed 
letter from I>. D. Bishop, secretary of the 
Colorado Dairymen’s Association. Many 
of us can remember the time when the 
authorities figured out a “dairy belt” or 
section of the country, outside of which 
dairying would not pay. Time has grown 
so fat with investigation that it has 
broken this “belt.” Now successful dairy¬ 
ing is practical everywhere. Tile ft. N.-Y. 
has readers in Alaska, Argentina, China 
and Turkey, and most intervening places, 
who tell us of successful dairying. The 
silo, the separator and the Babcock test¬ 
er have made dairying possible wherever 
grass grows and temperature low enough 
to cool milk is possible. The writer was 
a dairyman in Colorado at a time when 
it was customary to drive cows off the 
range and milk them through the .Sum¬ 
mer. At that time only bulls of the beef 
breeds were used—chiefly grades at that 
The head of our dairy herd was a beef 
Shorthorn, because his bull calves from 
grade cows would bring $25 each as 
yearlings. One Jersey cow in town was 
known as a cat. Holstein were unknown. 
No one at that time saw the possibilities 
of dairying or believed in the theory of 
purebred dairy bulls. Alfalfa and sugar 
beets came in as permanent crops as the 
range was settled, and as land became 
high-priced the old serufc dairy cow was 
impossible. Some sort of live stock was 
needed to eat up the Alfalfa, and in¬ 
crease of population created new de¬ 
mands for dairy products Then they 
found that an improved cow was as 
necessary as improved farm tools or im¬ 
proved methods. They had to improve 
the cow through the sons ot other im¬ 
proved cows, for that is the way such 
improvement runs. Bulls of dairv breeds 
with good pedigrees gave daughters from 
the common cows which “had to act like 
father s folks."’ That is the way dairying 
started in Colorado, and it is the same 
the world over. Improvement in blood 
lines comes through the son of a good 
cow. ____ 
A Good New York Herd 
On page S42 you printed the report ot 
a Wisconsin dairy, with the request that 
others would send their records. Follow¬ 
ing are statements from our station 
My dairy consists of 15 head; four of 
them were two-year-old heifere. Thev 
are all grade Holsteins. They were fed 
hay twiee a day and cabbage once during 
the Winter, no silage. They were fed 
from 10 to 15 pounds of grain each dur¬ 
ing the Winter, not much fed in the 
Summer. The ration was composed of 
half gluten, the remainder union grams 
or corn and oats, water once a day. No 
cows milked out and replaced with fresh 
ones; cows were mostly fresh in the Full 
and Winter. I expect to do very much 
better this year:

HOLSTEIN 
CATTLE 
Large sums are put into land, buildings, 
horses, machinery and labor in order to main¬ 
tain cows that are utterly unable to return a 
profit. 
On a dairy fam the efficiency of the herd 
should be the first consideration. With good 
purebred Holsteins you are sure to earn a 
generous profit on any intelligent investment 
of your money, time and labor. 
After the cost of her feed is deducted a good 
Holstein will return a profit of $60 to $100 per 
year in addition to a valuable calf.

I am not much of a hand to write 
articles, but I give you my reasons for 
considering the Holstein breed of cattle 
best: First, the Holsteins hold all records 
for production of milk and butter. Sec¬ 
ond, they stand the cold weather better 
than most of the breeds. Third, they are 
large and strong, and seem to throYv off 
disease and keep healthier than most 
breeds. Some people will claim that the 
milk is too poor in butter fat, and it is 
a fact that the average of the breed is 
only 3.40% fat. They are being bred 
up to ii greater per cent of fat, and we 
are trying to do oar share of the better¬ 
ment of the breed. u. c. BUXTON.
