A Vermont Milking Shorthorn 
Wp iivc liiiviiig it iiiiiiihor of hdters now 
about tilt' milking Shorthonn-;. that is. the 
cows of the Short hoi'll hrcrtl whioli have 
ht'cn srh'ctrd mid fed for ii large flow of 
milk. On many of the larger and rot’glier 
I'lastern farms tliere is a strong demaiel 
for ii liirge eow. which will give a fair 
mess td' milk, end np by jiresentiii}; the

liorn eonii's as closi' to filling tin' hill in

llolsteins, of course, give more milk, but 
iifter shearing. A griod iilan wotild ho to 
buy owe lambs flmt wore fattened for

only two hroken-niouthed ewes, and I

It is sniiixised that ewes are jiast ust'-

wliere there is a demand for both milk

the milk and hutti'r men set>m convinced 
tlmt no cow can be snix'rior at both tlie 
pail and the block, '^riiere are, liowever, 
some locations where the combination of 
tlie two is more iirofitahh* than either one 
alone. Fig. 210 sIiov.'S a good specimen of 
Ji Vermont Shorthorn. 'This is Nellie 
4th, !i jirize winner at the Vermont State 
Fair. Slie is a good six'eimen of the 
lireed, and a good tyjie of the milking 
Shorthorn, jind tliero is ample room for 
this kind of a cow to stand in the ranks 
of profitable cattle for the Eastern farmer. 
Sheep Questions 
Down liere in the “Sunny Sontli,” in 
the land of balanced rations for live stock 
and shiiiix'd-in fixids for jieople, a Mary¬ 
land and an Idaho nmn hotli Avant to 
know alxmt the feeds tliat will give a 
good flow of milk for the ni'w-boni lambs. 
'J'Ik' letter of Jt Virgina snhseriher wlio 
wants to buy ewes, finds me also. 
'I'lie tliought down here in Dixie of 
bnnehes of ev.'es with their funny, awk¬ 
ward lambs’ playing is a jileasiiig. mental 
pietnro All Florida is infested with 
idlers from the north; climate, salt iind 
fresh Witter, society of the best, and ad¬ 
venture are here, and tlien let your voice 
fiill. 
'I'lii' adventures would iilcitsc Diivid 
Grayson. Ours to-day were on ii 'gas 
liiiiiicli, in a salt-water inlet. The fish 
ate the bait and took the hooks. A big 
yellow turtle, with shoulders two feet 
wide, was drawn to the boat iind then 
bid farewell. A riittlesimke left tlie salt 
marsh and swam an eightli of a mile to 
us with his biick cone slmpcd and stuck 
bis tongue out at the man waiting to hit 
him with a boat hook and bring liim on 
board. Wo stuck on an oyter reef and 
when a half-mile from our home dock the 
engine died. 
Hilt to get to sheep, I have none to 
sell, excejit wether lamhs at the stock 
yards. We sell wool iind lamhs not 
wiinti'd for breeding, iind formerly culled 
the ewes, but iiny good htincli of ewes are 
better than hired hands and we mse them 
to give ns relii'f. I cannot say where to 
get shee]) excejit from brei'ders, and I can 
give them a pointer that they should ad¬ 
vertise. One might pick up a few near 
home from parties changing or culling 
more jinditable every year than the three- 
yi'ar-nlds. 
Now willi the starting ('IVects of hal- 
anci'd rat inns liere. niaih' from our hay, 
grain and hy-pr<xl\iets of Xorlhi'i'n things, 
and from what 1 liave seen at hom<‘. I am 
fully (pialilied on the materials, before 
and after, for healthy lamhs. 1’roper 
nonrisluiH'nt makes thrifty animals, and 
all secri'tions, milk included. For Win¬ 
ter feeding, if there is anything that will 
heat clover. Alfalfa, fodder, corn and oats, 
clean and well cured, I liavi* never seen 
it. 'I'he whole si'cret of thrifty slii'e]) is 
in the looks of them. iMy hoy began with 
a few hundred and these feeds, afti'r my 
exiierienci', an 3.S-year-old witli no exjie- 
rii'iice, and if there have Ix’en healthier 
liunclies during the ])ast six yi'ars any¬ 
where, I will pay my way to visit them. 
1 would like to sei' even as few as 50 sheep 
in one hnnch, fed on meals and foreign 
feeds, or on silage, with no liojielo.ss strag¬ 
glers. 
AVe do not w.’Uit any corn with smut, 
dust and dirt from a silo, with moist feed 
in troughs for ch'anly shei']) If) nose over, 
hut we want clean, dry whole grain or 
ha.v for them to ■grind theim'i'lves. They 
have their own mills jiml tin* lirst help to 
digestion with tlu'ir saliva, and I iind Ave 
get the hoi)e, grf)wlli, w(x‘)l and milk in a 
flock with no tail end. The old i)lan was 
to ki'c]) a cow in thi' slx'e]) stahh' at lamb¬ 
ing and milk a little into the lU'W-horn 
lamb, hut oiirs with very little h(‘l[), Iind 
snfiicient. snifahle feed without going out 
of the family. 
The best lesson I sei' in the above is 
that man can make a success by dei)('nd- 
ing on his own rf'sonrces. He can grow 
his fc'ed, while im|)roving his farm, care 
for his slieep without much help, save 
some inoney, and feel in(!ei)en(l('nt of 
others. w. w. kky.xoi.ds.

Producing High-class Heifers 
In resj)onse to Af, I>. D.'s re((uest. page 
.‘’>87, T will give my experii'uce in breed¬ 
ing heifer.s, which may he of .some helj) to 
those who have had less experience. 
As a prelude T would say that I raise 
heif('r,s, hroi'd them, and milk them for 
I)rofit alone. It is a cold business i)r()i)0- 
sition with me; I want the j)rofit, and 
get it. As an illustration of my methods 
I will use the hi'ifer that I am no.w milk¬ 
ing as an exami)le. She is now just 21 
months old ; lii'r mother is a .Ier.sey that 
gave me ]4,54.‘> Ihs. of milk in a year, 
and the .sire is a registerd Holstein. The 
heifer is as large as her inothei’, an 840- 
lb. cow, and dropped her first calf just 
one month ago at the age of 20 mouths.
