FAC I S ABOUT DAIRY SHORTHORNS. 
S OME of the loading physicians of this 
country have said that in their opin¬ 
ion the milk from the cows of the Chan¬ 
nel Island breeds testing five per cent, 
or better of butter fat was too rich for 
the use of invalids and infants, and that 
the milk of the Holstein testing about 
three per cent, was too thin for best re¬ 
sults. Right here is whore the dual- 
purpose Shorthorn cow scores a point, by 
producing milk that tests around four 
per cent, of fat, creating a happy medium 
between the two extremes. She also 
scores another point by proving her 
ability to produce milk, butter and beef 
at a profit, for any number of them have 
shown their ability to produce S.000 
pounds or better of milk per year, and 
they and their produce will make 
abundantly good in the feed lot. The 
farmers of the Eastern and Southern 
States are awakening to the fact that the 
meat supply of this country has to come 
1914, and December 17 following she 
dropped her eleventh calf, all single 
births, and has every appearance of doing 
good work for some time to come. 
The Shorthorns in the College Dairy 
at Cornell are making a good showing m 
comparison with the other breeds. The 
young cow, Lady Clay 3d, has a credit 
of 11,912 pounds of milk. 4S4 of fat, 
equal to 005 pounds of SO per cent, but¬ 
ter, and at other places where they have 
come in competition with the dairy breeds 
thej r have shown their ability to make 
good along dairy lines. In a butter fat 
and milk test at the Forest City Fair 
at Cleveland, ()., in August 1914, the 
dairy Shorthorn cows from the Glen- 
side herd were awarded first prize in 
competition with Holstein, Dutch Belted, 
Brown Swiss, Devon and Guernsey cows 
from some of the best herds in the land. 
At the Vermont State Fair at White 
River Junction in September, 1914, in a 
24-hour butter test, the Shorthorn cow 
DAIRY SHORTHORN LIMA ROSE 
from the farms, and they are looking to 
the dual-purpose breeds to satisfy this 
need. As they have found they can raise 
and feed a few good steers along with the 
dairy cows, what better proposition can 
they find than a Shorthorn cow giving 
around 9.000 pounds of milk, testing four 
per cent, or better of butter fat, equal to 
about 500 pounds of butter, and growing 
a steer that will weigh around 800 
pounds when about oneyear old on the 
separator milk? 
There are many Shorthorn cows that 
have done better than this. The Glen- 
sides herd owned by May & Otis, has 
35 with records of 10,000 pounds or 
more; the Bellview herd, owned by R. 
G. Wood of Pennsylvania, has five cows 
with records better than 11,000 pounds, 
one of the number (Sylvania 17,468) 
has given 15,196 pounds of milk in one 
year. In the Belle Vernon herd, owned 
by II. S. Cobb & Son of Iowa, there are 
four cows that have given better than ! 
10,000 pounds in a year. One of the | 
number, Ruth 3d, has a record of 15,594 
pounds milk, 831 pounds butter, and 
weight nearly 1.600 pounds. Another, 
Charlotte I>.. gave 15,401 in one year 
and has an average of over 10.000 pounds | 
for seven years. Some of the small j 
breeders have young cows with very 
creditable records. Linia Rose, bred and I 
owned by Cleveland Bros, of Pennsyl- | 
vania, freshened when 31 months old and j 
in one year and 26 days gave 7.9S9 
pounds milk. Maplelane Juliette gave 
with first calf 10.395 pounds, 11.308 with 
the second, 12.911 pounds in the third 
year. One of our own heifers, June 152,- 
964, dropped her first calf when two 
years and two months old, and gave in 
the year 6.168 pounds; with the second 
calf she gave 7,155 pounds in 10 months. 
Her full sister, Brighteyes 155.147, 
freshened when two years and nine 
months old. and in one year has given 
8,269 pounds of milk. The dam of these 
heifers, Molly Morris 147,761, has given 
7,500 pounds in 10 months. These 
records were made on poor feed, as we 
had no silage or clover for Winter feed¬ 
ing. This cow was 12 years old in June, 
B«tsy 8th, owned by Harrison Davis of 
that State, won first prize over cows 
from many of the crack dairy herds of 
the East. At the same fair in 1911, in a 
special test, three Shorthorn cows won 
first over two trios of select Jerseys, 
and again in 1912 three Shorthorn cows 
from the Glenside herd in a 48-hour test 
won over all competitors. In this test 
10 Shorthorn cows made a daily average
