An Overproduction of Donkeys 
No—this is not written by some cyni¬ 
cal old spirit who has a grudge against 
the younger generation. It refers to 
burros, the small dwai*fed donkey 
found on the Western plains. Every 
year we have letters from people who 
ask where these burros can be obtained. 
They are wanted for cbildren,'s pets. As 
one man put it—for “a suitable compan¬ 
ion for the children I” These little don- 
ke.vs are bard to find iu the Eastern 
State.s and they frequently sell for $40 
or more. Yet, while they are hard to ob¬ 
tain on the Atlantic Coast there are so 
inanj' of them in Arizona that they have 
become a nui.sance, and farmers are ser¬ 
iously advised to kill them off and use 
have passed and I have kept bulls all 
this time, and not a single demonstration 
of anger from any one of th^n. They 
are Devons, family cattle since the day.s 
of the old Egyptians, for on their tem¬ 
ples, as shown in The National Geograph¬ 
ical Magazine, September, 1914, are their 
cattle, and they are as are our Devons. 
As my experience covered only 10 
years and only three bulls, I wrote my 
friend Dr. J. C'hestou Morris, president 
of Devon Cattle Club, now over 80. He 
has bred Devon.s since early manhood, 
and be wrote in answer to mj’ inquiries: 
“I am not able to write as I would 
like to do for the honor of our beloved 
breed of Devons. I'll drink my (|Uota of 
my Devon milk, and pet my Devons

them as chicken meat. Here i.s a state¬ 
ment by R. II. 'Williams of the -Vrizoua 
Agricultural College at Tucsou : 
The number of burros is inoreasiug iu 
the Bouthwest. ►Something should be 
done to make use of them or else limit 
the numbers, for they are consuming 
good range whch should be used for bet¬ 
ter purposes. As yet no suitable com¬ 
mercial use has been found for the bur¬ 
ro. They are too small in size and lack 
ambition, so that they are of little use 
for draft purposes. It is wouderful, 
however, what hardships these little 
beasts will endure. They are especially 
suitable to thrive on dry, arid ranges 
in the Southwest. 
They are also a nuisance on the range, 
for jacks often become mean and kill 
calves. They grab the calf by the neck 
in their mouth and strike them against 
their fore-feet. Burros are ahso trouble¬ 
some around salt stations, for they de¬ 
light to remain there and drive the cat¬ 
tle away. 
The best-known use for the burros is 
to use them for cliicken feed. 3''hey may 
be purchased at $2 apiece an(.l one c.au 
secure 50 cents for the hide. They will 
furnish fullv 150 pounds of lean meat, 
iuul this is the cheapest found anywhere. 
A bui'i'o should be used every day in 
flocks of poultry of upwards of 1.000 
hens. The meat from the.se animal.s will 
increase the vigor .and laying qvialities of 
the birds and go a long way to insure 
success in the poultry buSiUess. Uveu 
if no use is made of the burro, it-is cer¬ 
tain that they should be exterminated 
and the range left for cattle, sheep and 
goats. The same may be said regarding 
most of the small inferior horses that 
are found on the range. These animals 
will consume as much as a cow and 
their economical returns sire not half as 
great as one should receive from an av¬ 
erage cow. 
It is thought that iu certain districts 
in Southern Arizona drying plants could 
be installed which could take advantage 
of the cheap meat supply to’ produce 
tankage and meat meal for commercial 
purposes. The supply of burros in this 
district will be sulhceut to warrant en¬ 
tering the business on a comuiercial 
scale. As the burros are ver.v fat iu the 
Fall, a fat extraction plant could be in¬ 
stalled and also some means for making 
use of the bones. 
High Praise for Devon Cattle 
Last year on page 1245, Sept, 23 is¬ 
sue, there was a caution regarding dan¬ 
gerous bulls. Ten years ago I wrote 
Hoard's Diiiryman to a similar caution 
that I believed if bulls were even de¬ 
cently treated and their cows not 
abused, there would be no danger. A 
reply was made that sometime I would 
go to heaven via Taurus. Ten years 
still. You see, 1 am very much set iu 
my ways and not easy to upset. I know 
a good thing when I see it, and have 
faith to hold on hard to the last. As you 
say, I have been breeding Devons for 
(>0 years, and have yet to .see the first 
vicious animal of that breed, either bull 
or cow.” 
Dr. Morris adds: “I can guess from 
what I saw a darky do to a young 
Durham bull at a Tri-8tate Fair, nea.' 
Wilmington—the bull was not standing 
just to please him, and he jabbed him 
with a pitclifork till the bull was cowed 
and slunk affrighted in his stall, I re¬ 
monstrated with the fellow, who re¬ 
plied with a sneer; about two hours later 
we were all called by a scream from the 
fellow who had carelessly gone near the 
hull. He escaped by hiding under the 
feed box, that bull had a good memory.” 
I thought it better not to write 
cocksure after only ten years of exper- 
ienee—with ^ Forrester, Sylvan and 
Flosky—all made pets of and as gentle 
as any cow, never with a nose-ring and 
often without a halter; and have the ex- 
licrieuce of an authority of many years. 
I ask for information as to any danger¬ 
ous Devon bull, but shall want the reg¬ 
istry number of American lievon Cattle 
ChA), for a grade or mongrel might in- 
hei'it from the ancestor of another 
breed. elkf.kt wakemax.

The Story of a Cow 
Enclosed is a news item from the IMiil- 
adelpliia North American of March 28. 
This states that the Ilolstein cow Pan line 
Paul Partheuea jiroduccd 2,880 lbs. of 
butter iu 12 months. I was informed that 
the world’s recoi'd for butter production 
was slightly over 1,500 lbs. in a j'ear. 
Will you give the actual record of the 
cow Pauline Paul I'artheuea, also the 
name and record of the cow that has 
made the largest record for the produc¬ 
tion of butter in the seven-day tests'? 
Blakeslee, Pa. J. «. Av. 
The item is as follows: 
“Appleton, AYis., March 27.—Pauline 
Paul Partheuea, known as the world’s 
champion Holstein cow. owned by B. J. 
Schaefer, of Clayton, Wis., is dead. A 
post mortem showed she had swallowed a 
darning needle and that it worked its 
way to the heart. Two years ago the 
cow produced 2,880 pounds of butter in 
1*2 months. She was 13 years old. Schaefer 
had refused to sell her at any price.” 
The Holstein cow, Pauline Paul Par- 
thenea 41666, to which reference was
