and for butterfat the tests at Detroit and 
the Illinois State fair in 1014. plainly 
show that the Brown Swiss cows rank 
at least equal with any of the other dairy 
breeds. I also find that the pure Brown 
Swiss bull bred on grade Jersey or 
(Tiiernsey cows produces heifers that 
make splendid dairy animals. The color 
harmonizes, the delicate constitution and 
light bone of the Jersey and Guernsey 
grades are strengthened by the vigorous 
• onstitution and large bone of the Swiss, 
therefor the heifers from the above meth¬ 
od of breeding have capacity, vigor and 
good color, and the udder is ample, well 
hung and nice large teats well spaced. 
We are now milking some grade Swiss 
heifers that will prove my remarks, and 
t hoy are far superior to their dams. 
I do not wish to knock on any of our 
dairy breeds; they are all good when han¬ 
dled in the manner suitable to each 
particular breed, but the Brown Swiss 
do not require the close attention that 
must be given to those of less vigorous 
constitution. We have some writers who 
contend that the Brown Swiss are dual 
large number every year who make a 
change. Just now it seems impossible, 
on account of the condition of the roads, 
but it will be done somehow. The wheat 
already shows green, and the rain of the 
past week will give it a good start. Cat¬ 
tle have come through the Winter in 
good shape and prices for cows and young 
stuff have not changed materially since 
last report Buyers are scouring the 
country for horses, yet prices are not 
higher. Good young animals are selling 
at farm auctions around $150. Fat hogs 
are selling around $6 per hundred. Beef 
cattle are down in juice to where feed¬ 
ers say there is no profit in feeding either 
cattle or hogs. Ilay is plentiful at $10

purpose animals. They may be called 
such, but the fact must not be overlooked 
i hat they produce the milk and cream, 
nd the same of the highest standard, 
b,-cause it comes from animals that have 
i vigorous and healthy constitution. I 
have not had any experience in breed- 
iig the Brown Swiss bull on Holstein or 
Ayrshire grade, but I do know by per¬ 
sonal experience that the Browu Swiss 
bull bred on grade Jersey or Guernsey 
vows produces heifers far ahead of their 
Jams, because they have capacity and a 
strong constitution. A vigorous consti¬ 
tution and capacity is what we need in 
the American dairy cattle. 
The Brown Swiss are very attractive; 
they have a straight back line, and in 
<*oler are from a light to a dark mouse 
color with mealy points. Cows weigh 
from 1400 to 1000 pounds, bulls 1600 to 
2000 pounds. The American breeders 
are now producing cows that in conforma¬ 
tion adhere very closely to the American 
standard. J. H. MC ntTNN.

LIVE STOCK NOTES AND PRICES. 
Not much doing in the sale of cows, 
as we border on Broome and Tioga Coun¬ 
ties, N. Y., and they are quarantined. 
As our shipping points are in those coun¬ 
ties we are tied up. A few are sold 
through the neighborhood for $50 to $70; 
butter 30; eggs 20; potatoes 25; hay $12 
to $15 per ton. Apples 35 to 40 cents 
per bushel. Hired men about $25 and 
board per month by the year; not much 
young stock, but no sale on account of 
the foot-and-mouth disease; trouble in 
shipping. M. M.

Feb. 27. We have had a lovely Win- 
tor, having had over 65 days of extra 
good sleighing. A few days ago we lost 
the sleighing and it had the appearance 
of Spring, as the robins and blackbirds 
came, but today it is frozen up and blus¬ 
tery at times. Wheat showed up especial¬ 
ly good when the snow went, off, looking 
very green and thick. Some have been 
pruning apple trees. There is an auction 
for every day hereabouts; a few farms 
exchanging owners. Horses and cows are 
not selling as high as last season. Cab¬ 
bage did not pay to store, as it only 
brings $8 per ton. Potatoes are bringing 
27 cents per bushel. Apples are a drug, 
not paying to keep over. Fertilizers are 
'•ostiug more than last year, with but 
little potash. Farmers are unsettled 
whether to take the price for wheat and 
beans or wait for a further advance. 
Stock of all kinds doing well. Wheat has 
been loaded at Ennerdalc station at 
$1.50 per bushel; oats 57; corn 80; bar¬ 
ley 60; rye $1.10; bran $1.30 a ton.

This is not a cattle section, but cows 
:ue selling at auction here at prices 
ranging from $60 to $125. An average 
price would be somewhere around $75. 
Dairy products in this section consist en¬ 
tirely of milk and butter. Milk is bring¬ 
ing from 14 to 18 cents per gallon, and 
butter brings about 35 cents. Apples are 
^2 per barrel and are making a loss for 
those who stored them in the hopes of 
better prices. The garden crops of this 
section always bring fair prices, for we
