A Woman’s Argument for Holsteins 
Tlie article tuititled “A T’.I.ist hn- tlie 
Ayrsliire,” on jiago ."if), is certainly not 
very comiiWinentary to the Holstein co\v. 
If C. iM. Winslow wt'ie to visit Heaug;! 
County, Ohio, and nitike siinil.-ir re¬ 
marks ill reg;ird to the Holstein cow, he 
would he f:ir from iioiiular with tlie pm*- 
ple of the county. Almost every dairy in 
(Je.-iiiga ('onnty is Holstein, and we ai’e 
considered one of tlie largt'st d:iiry coun¬ 
ties in the United States. Many of the 
fanners ai'e shipping niiik to Uleveiand. 
and this i.s supposed to test o.4%, al¬ 
though there is nothing compulsory 
about it. Prior to the (’leveland milk 
embargo, the factories hei’e dcunanded a 
test of not less than IP/f. and the. aver¬ 
age percentiige of the milk taken in was 
between and .‘i.GVf. Hoes this 
sound as if Holstidn milk cont:dned no 
butter fat. and is there any other breed 
<>f cattle that has ever jiroduced the but¬ 
ter fat records the Holstein cattle have? 
Did Mr. Winslow ever learn of any cow 
I of any other breed producing over 50 
I lbs. of butter (S0% basis) in .seven days 
as did the Holstein cow, ,Segis Faync 
I .Tohanna, the new world’s lecord cow? 
We are not compelled to buy Ayrshire 
in an orchanl on a steep side hill, 
tliough I have to give them some addi¬ 
tional p;istnre in tlie Spring, till the 
lambs are s(dd. An adjoining farm has 
laid slieep on it, to my i»er.son;il knowl- 
T'dge. 48 years, and they are grazed a 
good )>ortion of the year in the same 
field. Uhe jiresmit owner Ims told me 
that he ne\’er lost a sheei' th.it was 
thin in flesh; that he ociaisionally has 
had a .sheep to die. hut it was always 
one of the late.st. a. u. i.ockiiakt. 
Virginia. 
Purebred and Scrub Stock 
I li.-ive seen several articles in your 
paper in regard to .scrub and imrchrcd 
stock, which have interested me very 
much. Some are under the impression 
that it is only a well-to-do biriner who 
can afford to keep purebreds (and in 
many instances this is how they became 
well-to-do), while in reality a poor man 
can afford to keep nothing else, espe¬ 
cially with the jiresent high cost of feed. 
It costs no more to fis-d ;i purebred cow 
that will sell for than it does :i 
grade that will bring and it t;ikes 
no mor(“ l.-ihor. Uvery anim.-i!. whether 
serub or jiurehi-ed. slmnld l.:ive jiroper 
Gypsy du Fosteau, a Purebred Belgian Mare, With Foal. Owned by the Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa 
sires here to have our milk up to a satis¬ 
factory stand.-ird. 
It must have been a peculiar strain of 
Holsteins that ^Ir. Winslow' observed ly¬ 
ing down waiting for something to eat. 
The Holsteins of this ^county will graze 
all day long, if it is nothing more than 
blackberry luishes and underbrush. Tlie 
fact that there are more Holsteins in 
the United St:ites tlian of any other 
breed (in fact insirly as many as all 
other brei'ds combined) shows that she 
is “the” cow. and it is the best recom¬ 
mendation she can Inive.

Some Virginia Sheep Notes 
I :iin glad to see timt the subject of 
sheep I'aisiiig is receiving more attention 
in your columns. The ;irticle on 'page 
1(55 leads me to submit the following; 
As to hells, I hi'artily fi'comiuend 
them, and believe it advis.ible to put one 
<iu (‘Very sht'cii; not that I am at all 
certain that it acts as a deterrent to keep 
dogs from killing them, hut th(*y are cer¬ 
tainly useful ill giving warning to the 
owner and neighbors tlnit dogs are clias- 
ing tlie sh('ej). In the 15 years that I 
iiave been lu'cping .sheep, the dogs have 
attacked the flock on four separate oc- 
ca.sion.s, killing 12 head in all. None of 
llicse att.-icks were during the last eight 
y(‘ar.s, .•ind none of my near neighbors 
have suftVrocl losses from dogs in re¬ 
cent years. 
As to the need of frequent cluinge of 
pasture for sheej) to keep them from be- 
coiiiiiig infested with p:irasite.s. I have 
read a good deal about it, but in a 
practksil way know nothing about any 
such need. Hefore I commenced to keep 
sheep, none had been kept on this farm 
for about 12 years, and the only los.ses 
I have sustained from anything tluit in¬ 
dicated sttomach worms or “paperskin” 
was during the first few years that I 
had them. The main pasture has been 
feeding and cart, i.iid IUlle^s tlie owner 
can give them such. tht‘y :ir.‘ niiprofi- 
table. 
Some say, in regard to the pur*‘bre<l 
cow, it costs too much to get them reg- 
isteri'd, and wlieu sold, they must be 
tuberculin-tested. ’I’lie cost of registra¬ 
tion i.s small, and if a member of the 
association, it is still less. Concerning 
tlie tulx'rculin test, who wants an au- 
iiiuil affected with tuberculosis in his 
barn, whether giaide or purebred? The 
value of the young stock sliould^ also lx* 
taken into cou.sideratioii. A calf three 
days old from a .$2.50 cow ought to st'll 
for at h'ast $7.5 or $100, while it t;ik(‘s 
a good grade cow to bring this price, and 
tliiiik of the difference in the amount 
of feed they have consumed. 
The milk productiem is also another 
important point. The average pure'bred 
cow will produce from 50 to 00 pounds 
of milk per chiy, while the average gr:ide 
will produce about .‘55 pounds, giving 
both the same feed. Tlu‘ same may he 
s:iid of other stock. An cight-niouth- 
old purebred hog will dress 275 pounds, 
while a .scrul> of the same age is doing 
Avell to go 100. A purebred Delaine ewe 
will shear from It to 15 pounds of 
wool, while a senih will average between 
six and eight. Poultry will compare ac¬ 
cordingly. Dluny farmers change from 
scrubs to purebreds, but I have yet to 
le;iru of a case whore they changed from 
purebred to scrubs.
