SOME SHORT-HORN RECORDS. 
A few years ago I was asked to furnish 
a paper for one of our local farmers’ in¬ 
stitutes, and I read one setting forth the 
merits of the Short-horn cow as a milker. 
After citing several remarkably good re¬ 
cords I concluded with the statement that 
the dual-purpose cow was no longer a 
delusion as was claimed by some, but was 
here in the flesh and had come to stay. 
A part of the institute’s force were 
strong dairy breed advocates, and they 
roasted me at every available opportunity 
during the remainder of the session. But 
horse in question to be good both as a 
saddle and single driving horse. A good 
saddle horse should not be allowed to 
carry a harness, as this tends to make 
them “heavy” in their gaits, and as a 
heavy-gaited horse is very tiresome to 
ride it should be avoided. In breaking 
this animal I should put a saddle upon 
her and turn her loose for two or three 
hours a day. Handle her considerably 
during a few days. Then when I did 
get in the saddle I would let her have 
her own way as much as possible. Avoid 
bringing her up short, as this will tend 
to make her nervous in future handling 
for the required gaits, and also tends to 
make her afraid of the bit, which is bad 
A GOOD SPECIMEN OF STIORTHOIIN BULL FROM THE MIDDLE WEST. 
I have lived to see my prophecy abund¬ 
antly fulfilled, for I have seen an Ameri¬ 
can-bred Short-horn cow that has made 
18,075 pounds of milk, 735 pounds of 
butter, in one year, under official test, 
and average daily production of 495 
pounds of milk and two pounds of butter 
for the entire year. There are quite a 
number that have exceeded the 15,000 
pound mark in one year, a countless 
number that have exceeded the 10,000 
pound mark and many more in sight that 
are coming. 
They have been taken up by the lead¬ 
ing agricultural colleges of this country. 
At the Missouri college they have the 
cow Lula, with a milk record of 12.341 
pounds and 615 pounds butter, and Pan¬ 
ama Lady, 13,7S9 pounds milk. 572 of 
butter. Pansy of Stanton at the Mich- • 
igan Agricultural College produced 10,- j 
058 pounds milk, 456.5 pounds of butter, j 
in one year and during that time gained 
324 pounds in weight. At the Iowa 
State College, College Miore produced 
517 pounds butter in the year. Florence 
Airdrie, owned by the Nebraska College 
gave 10,436 pounds milk, 494 pounds 
butter. The New York State College of 
Agriculture has two remarkably good 
young cows in the Short-horn division of 
their dairy herd. Lady Clay 3d has a 
record as a four-year-old of 11,488 
pounds milk, 558 pounds butter, in one 
year; Lady Clay 2d, at three years gave 
8,540 pounds milk, 3S4 pounds of but¬ 
ter. The Glenside Herds report for 
1913, 85 cows with records of 8,000 
pounds or more and 34 better than 10,- 
000, with Eldora Clay’s 15,000 record. 
At the London Dairy Show last year, 
Sherwood Rose won first prize in a two- 
day test with 144 pounds milk testing 
4.08 per cent. fat. Ruby won second 
prize with 115.5 pounds milk testing 5.6 
per cent, of fat. R. W. Hobbs & Son 
of Gloucestershire report an average milk 
production of 6,400 pounds from their 
dairy of 200 milking Short-horns. But 
the best record of all is that of Model 
Maid, owned by Mr. James Shippy of 
England, that gave, from September 1. 
1912, to August 31, 1913, 22,348 pounds 
milk, a record that will make some of 
the Holstein cow owners sit up and take 
notice. A. ii. prince.

Training a Saddle Horse. 
I read the inquiry upon the training of 
a saddle horse from B. D. and your 
query concerning the same. I have been 
in the West for many years, and most 
of my business was carried on while in 
the saddle. From experience I would say 
that it would be impossible to train the 
in a saddle horse. After she had quieted 
down and learned not to be afraid of you, 
I would try her in all her natural gaits 
until I found that which was the easiest 
for both the rider and horse. Then I 
would hold her to that gait as much as 
possible. The principle thing is pa¬ 
tience. Do not give up and let her walk 
home, as she will forget. Teaching a 
horse new gaits is like teaching an old 
dog new tricks. Unless you gait your 
mare from some natural gait of her own 
you will probably have an ungaited mare. 
I do not know that this will help you in 
answering the questions of B. D., but I 
sure would like to have the mare myself 
to break, as she is about the right weight 
for a good saddle pony. w. l. short.
