A $5,000 CLYDESDALE COLT. 
A transaction of special interest to the 
Eastern live stock breeders was made at 
Fairholme Farm in New Jersey last 
week, resulting in the sale of a 10- 
months-old Clydesdale colt for $5,000. 
This youngster, known as “Fairholme 
Footprint,” has the distinction, as far 
as I know, of being the highest priced 
10-months-old draft colt that has been 
sold in this country. Mr. F. Lotlirop 
Ames of Langwater Farms, Massachu¬ 
setts, is the buyer of this colt. This colt 
possesses rare individuality, and is 
backed up by blood lines and breeding 
that are unsurpassed. Ilis dam. Harveis- 
touu Baroness, was imported by Mr. 
Robert A. Fairbairn two years ago, after 
she won highest honors at the Scottish 
shows. She went direct to the Inter¬ 
national at Chicago and was awarded the 
grand championship at the International. 
She was returned to the farm at New 
Market. New Jersey, produced and 
raised “Fairholme Footprint,” and was 
again fitted for the show ring, shipped to 
Chicago and again won the champion¬ 
ship. The sire of “Fairholme Footprint” 
is Dunure Footprint, who is without 
doubt the most popular young stallion in 
Scotland, it being reported that at one 
of the recent shows in Scotland, 11 out 
of the 12 winners of the show were sired 
by this famous stallion. The grandsire 
of tin's colt is Baron o’ Buchlyvie, and 
HOME BUTTER-MAKING. 
The question of disposing of the pro¬ 
duct of the cow to the best advantage has 
so many sides that it becomes quite 
a grave question. About 20 years ago 
a creamery started up about a mile from 
our place, and we carried our milk to 
it till it closed its doors, or had them 
closed. As “Mother” had made the but¬ 
ter before she started again, but as we 
were keeping more cows and she needed 
all her strength to do the housework, I 
decided to try my hand, and with her 
help did pretty well. A while after the 
factory started again, and they wanted 
us to help. I took a certain number of 
pounds of cream and carried to the fac¬ 
tory and then churned a similar amount, 
and was satisfied that it would pay me 
to make butter. I tried this a second 
time with the same result. But, and 
that is a great big but, if mother or wife 
had to make the butter with their present 
health, the cream would go to the factory. 
\Ye have 00 customers who are glad to 
pay the highest market price for our 
butter, and there is hardly a week that 
we could not get more customers. It 
takes about six hours a week to deliver 
our butter, and we make nearly 7,000 
pounds a year. We are as well fitted as 
most creameries to make it, and as I 
like -the work, it is no hardship. 
To sum it all up, let me put it thus: 
Don’t put butter-making onto already 
overworked women. The creamery is a 
god-send to them. If you don’t make 
butter that brings the highest price you

he was sold at public auction for $45.- 
500 1-Iarveistoim Baroness was sired 
by Baron’s Pride, undoubtedly the 
greatest sire that the Clydesdale breed 
has ever known, it being reported that 
the value of his immediate offspring is 
over $300,000. while he is said to have 
earned $150,000 in stud fees. As au 
individual “Fairholme Footprint” is 
without a peer. lie combines size with 
substance, while his feet and legs evi¬ 
dence quality at every point. That he 
will be a prominent factor in the Ameri¬ 
can show yard there is no doubt, and 
with such breeding and backing lie should 
prove a remarkably prepotent sire. The 
sale of a yearling Clydesdale, raised and 
bred in New Jersey, for the highest price 
on record, will no doubt open the eyes 
of those interested in draft Lorse breed¬ 
ing in the East, as well as the trotting 
horse enthusiasts who heaped ridicule 
on Mr. Fairbairn and others, including 
the Live Stock Commission, when they 
imported the first draft hors.s for breed¬ 
ing purposes in New Jersey five years 
ago. In language more forceful than 
polite it was asserted that no one could 
raise draft horses successfully in this 
part of the country, and that nobody 
would buy them even though they were 
produced. The answer is “Fairholme 
Footprint.” This will no doubt be a 
great impetus to draft horse breeding in 
the East, and only shows what can be 
accomplished if care is exercised in the 
selection of breeding matrons, with due 
regard for individuality and breeding. It 
might be added that Mr. Fairbairn re¬ 
fused $5,000 for the dam of this colt on 
the day that the sale was made, as Mr. 
Ames left the standing ofi'er of $10,000 
for the pair. F. c. minkleu.

you have surplus of women power and 
they are the kind that delight in making 
the high grade butter, and you have a 
market that will pay for quality, what it 
is worth, go ahead and make it, but it 
seems to me that it would be a good plan 
to get the boys on the farm interested in

World’s Record For A Dairy Cow. 
—The Guernsey cow May Rilma, owned 
at the famous Chesterbrook Farm, the 
home of the late A. ,T. Cassatt, now 
owned by his son, Capt. E. IL Cassatt, 
has given in 3(55 days, 19.639.50 pounds 
milk, which contains 1,059.59 pounds 
butterfat. This cow was bred and raised 
at the farm, and her year’s work has 
been carefully supervised under the regu¬ 
lations for the Advanced Register of 
Guernsey cattle conducted by the Ameri¬ 
can Guernsey Cattle Club. While offi¬ 
cially supervised by the representatives 
of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station, her work has also been 
checked by six similar institutions in 
other States, and by a representative of 
the Dairy Division of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. This record 
surpasses that of any cow of all the 
dairy breeds in the world. May Rilma 
is producing more butterfat in her thir¬ 
teenth month than in her first, thus 
widening the distance beyond her nearest 
competitor and more firmly establishing 
herself as queen of the dairy world.
