Ayrshire or Holstein? 
The “Argument for the Holstein,” on 
page certiiinly is not very compli¬ 
mentary to other breeds, but if ^Ir.s, 
Woodin came hero and made those ro- 
nuirks we should still feel perfectly con¬ 
fident that our prize Ayrshires, Guernseys 
and .Terseys could stand on their own 
merits as they have always done, and she 
would he neither iiopular nor otherwi.se. 
No, Ave dtui't claim Holstein milk con- 
tiiins no butter fat—it does, a little—but 
it is so heavily diluted that it resembles 
a run-out gold vein ; the labor and expen.se 
of getting it is .so great that it isn’t worth 
while, and Mrs. Woodin's figures show it 
to be “thinuer” than I ever supposed it 
is. Holstein breeders here have no 
thought of selling milk by the quart with¬ 
out mixing in cows of richer milking 
breeds. Ayrshire sires might remedy the 
deficiency, but that tvoiild ruin the chief 
a.sset of the Holstein dairyman—the sale 
of jiedigreed stock. 
We believe the Holsteins ilr. Winslow 
describes were normal, and the brush-eat¬ 
ing ones are freak.s, for no such were ever 
heard of in this section, and such an oc¬ 
currence would be ill direct opposition to 
the origin, nature, care and breeding of 
the Holstein as far back as a record of 
the breed exists. If Mrs. Woodin will 
look up the records more fully .she will 
note that the amount of feed (xinsuincd 
by Segis Fayne Johanna while making 
50 iiounds of butter iu a week was so 
great as to render her a luxury entirely 
out of reach for a poor man if her orig¬ 
inal price did not. One of the most fu- 
nious Hulstein sires in the United States 
is owned within two miles of ns. This 
section has many famous dairies, and 
Chautauqua County is a leading dair.v 
county in an essentially dairying State. 
We have kept both breeds, and we know 
whereof we speak when we say that on .v 
a rich man can afford a Holstein while 
a fair Ayrshire dairy with fairly good 
care will, in a few years, make a poor 
man independent. MRS. E. M. anderson.

Other Breeds Besides Holsteins—Jerseys 
and Guernseys 
The article entitled Woman’s Ar¬ 
gument for Holsteins,” on page .‘58(5, mav 
he all right from her viewpoint, hut I 
would like to comment on her article. She 
states “No other cow ever produced the 
butter fat to a like amount as Segis 
Fayne .Tohanna” in seven days. That is 
correct. But do you know that no other 
cattle club likes to test for only seven 
days’;i' They prefer the yearly test. Why? 
Beiause the seven-day test is no test of a 
cow. You dry them off from three to six 
months before freshening, then feed 
heavily to run up the cow’s weight. Jo- 
hiinna weighed 1.900 lbs. when she fresh¬ 
ened, At the end of her test she weighed 
l.-lilO lbs., or a loss in weight of 450 lbs. 
So ytm see if you can pull 450 lbs. from 
them ill less than a month there certainly 
is :in abnormal amount of fat in that 
milk.

Sheep that Whipped Dogs 
I have read quite a number of articles 
in regard to sheep killed by dogs. My 
brothers and I used to be in the sheep 
busine.ss in Somerset Co., Pa. AVe never 
lost a sheep by dogs killing them. We 
always kept plenty of bells on the flock. 
Our sheep would whip any dog that came 
near them, and many a dog learned his 
le.ssou by getting a good butting. We 
bought three Shropshire ewes from 
breeder in Ohio. One of those proved to 
he the best dog scrapper I ever saw. She 
acted as leader for the flock iu all dog 
scraps, and they had a lively time when 
they closed in on a dog anywhere in the 
pasture or iu the sheep shed. Kveryoiie 
said they never saw any flock of sheep 
like them. Our neighbors lost sheep and 
had then wounded so they had to be 
killed. We knew persons who hissed 
their dogs at our sheep to see if they 
could not run them, but the dog got the 
worst of the bargain every time. AVhen 
we got a new dog we would let the sheep 
give him his lesson, so he would know 
enough to keep away from them. And if 
we could coax a strange dog where h® 
would get his butting we did so. Our 
sheep pasture was far away from the 
buildings, had about 75 acres of timber 
land, from 25 to 50 acres of cleared land. 
Sometimes we would not see the flock for 
a month. If you can get your sheep to be 
good dog scrappers you will not need to 
worry about dogs bothering your flock.

HOPE FARM NOTES 
(Continued from page 584) 
among more than half a million readers. 
This has led me to study the farm jiapers 
carefully to see if one may find the rea¬ 
son iu them. I conclude that too many 
of such jiapers are controlled too much 
by the spirit of town life. Somehow it 
appears to me that these papers start out 
with the proposition that the city or the 
suburban town represents the ideal of 
living, and that fanners and their fam¬ 
ilies slumld try to imitate it. It does not 
seem to enter the he:ids of publishers and 
editors that the reverse of this is true.' 
American farm life should he the idetil. 
It should not he based upon city life, or a 
poor imitation of it, hut its improvement 
and its culture should be original and in¬ 
dependent. Again I think most of tlie 
farm papers try to iitiiiofe, in appeai"- 
ance and iu expression, the mag izines and 
periodicals which cater to city people, or 
to those who have little real sympathy 
Avith farmers, or knowh'dge of their real 
problems. Here agiiin they seem to forget 
that farmers do not need or desir<‘ iiu imi¬ 
tation, but rather strong, plain, outspoken 
thought charaeteristic of their oavu busi¬ 
ness. I feel that many able men are 
falling far short of their possibilities iu 
giviug their readers more or less poor 
imitation of city papers and city thought, 
Avhen the great army of the country needs 
origimil suid .sturdy leadership from the 
.soil, not from the city pavement. 
But here I am getting away from my 
friends. You do not want preaching, and, 
of course, you Avill say that my estimate 
of farm journalism must be prejudiced. 
At any rate I have enjoyed this little 
chat with old friends—and what is thi.s? 
AVhile I have been talking Siiriug seems 
to have repented. The sun is out and the 
Aviud lias fallen a little. Come on out and 
see how the grafting is going on. Our 
hens made the best record of the year the 
day after war Avas declared. They are 
the first to respond to the call for in¬ 
creased production. The Reds supply one 
national color, the Leghorns another—we 
must fill in the blue! ii. w. c.
