The Holstein Again 
In reply to Mrs. E. M. Ander.son, page 
590, about the Ayrshire aud Holsteins, 
her statement is very amusing. If she 
would look up the records of hoth classes 
she would certainly have to change her 
view. When any breed has produced as 
many thousand-pound butter cows as the 
Holsteins h;ive no one can say that it 
coiitiuii.-> only a little fat. Up to April 
30, 191.5. tlie Holstein breed has iiro- 
duced 30 cows giv ing 1,000 lbs. butter in 
a year of 85 per cent. fat. aud 40 if com¬ 
puted on the 80 i)Pr cent, basis. IIow 
many they Imve now I do not know, as 
we did not buy No. 27 Blue Book. By 
November, 1915, they had added two 
cows to heat the world's record in yearly 
division. Between .Tjinuary 1 and .Jan¬ 
uary 11 this year five cows finished their 
yearly test of over one thousand lbs. of 
butter. 
Now for tlie Guernsej’S and .Terseys. I 
often think their owner.s’ opposition to 
the Holstein is only jealousy. I cannot 
see how C. Ilwight Buildner could have 
made the mistake he did. lie certainly 
knew that Mnrne Cowan is the champion 
Cuernsey and not May Bilma. One 
thing about that is that Murne Cowan 
only tested a trifle over 4.5 and Flnderne 
Holingen Fayne tested nearly 4..5 hut she 
gave enough more milk to heat Murne 
Cowan by 27.87 lbs. fat and Mnrne 
Cowan heat May Rilm.'i by only 24.77 
lbs. of fat. The chamiiu>n junior two- 
year-old is Finderne Mutual Fayne; 
yearly test 22.1.50 lbs. milk, 1,200.63 lbs. 
of 80 per cent, butter, test 4.34 for the 
year. I do not know who is the world’s 
champion senior two-year-old, but K. P, 
Cornucopia 2129.33 finished her strictlj’ 
official test iu .Tanuary, 1917, with 917.4 
lbs. of 85 per cent, butter, beating Irene’s 
Cherry by 14.77 lbs. of 85 per cent, 
butter. 
According to a dairy paper, not a Hol¬ 
stein one, of December 10, 1915, the 10 
highest reconl Holsteins averaged 
26,835.18 lbs. milk, 1,0.52.897 lbs. fat, 
the 10 highe.st Guernseys 18,088.83 lbs. 
milk, 954,402 lbs. fat; 10 highest .Ter- 
sej’s 17.236.6 Ihs. milk. 921.9 lbs. fat; 
30 highest Ayrshires 20.262.7 lbs. milk, 
818.464 lbs. flit; Brown Swiss, 16.0S.7.1 
lbs. milk, 645..S(; lbs. fat. Mrs. Ander¬ 
son, who suggested an Ayrshire sire makes 
a most aninsing .statement. ’The 10 
highest Ayrsliire cows average only 4.0.3 
jier cent, fat, and the 10 highest Hol¬ 
steins averaged .3.92 jier cent, fat, whieh 
if the milk was mixed together would not 
cause a raise as they give so much less 
milk. 
The world's champion yearly cow, 
Diuhess Skylark Ormshy, averaged .3.3 
lbs. of fat from 7(5.1 lbs. of milk every 
day for 365 days. No f>ne has a right to 
condemn any breed from his own little 
experience. We were never successful 
with .Terseys. We had a full aged .Jer¬ 
sey of nearly pure blood that tested 6.2, 
hut her milk brought at our factory sold 
on butter fat basis, just two-thirds as 
much money as our two-year-(dd Hol¬ 
steins fui the same feed. We sold her for 
beef. 
If May Uiliua’s milk had been .sold at. 
our factory on butter fat basis, at the 
price we were getting this Winter, she 
would have brought her owner just 
$31.5.73.,53, and if Finderne Holingen 
Fayne, who has the third place in the 
Holsteins, had her milk sold at the same 
factory on butter fat basis, she would 
have brought in her owiu'r Jfotil.lllS or 
,$146.43(55 more than May Bilma. If 
(lie average of the 10 highest Ayrshires 
milk on butter fat l)a.sis had been sold at 
tin* same f.actory it would bring 
$127..54297, and if the average of the 10 
Holsteins were .sold the same way on 
butter fat basis it would bring $555,405, 
or a difference of $127.96, iu favor of the 
Holsteins. 
One day my husband told a friend that 
he was going to make a sale and sell off 
our registered Holsteins. and he said we 
would be a millionaire if we did. We 
would not, but they would bring ns a 
nice sum all from the investment of $400 
for two cows. If a person who knew 
nothing about cows were to start in the 
business and look up the records of each 
breed, what breed would he be likely to 
buy? MRS. W. P. WILKINS.

Value of Sheep Killed by Dogs 
r»n page 524 you ask if any of your 
readers can give tlie actual valuation on 
sheep killed by dogs. I can give what 
they put on mine. Some year.s ago I 
had a flock of 45 that the dogs got at. 
How Icmg they ran them I don’t know. 
I found them iu the morning .scattered 
all over the farm, two killed, others bit¬ 
ten and cut by barb wire that they had 
been run through and the town gave me 
the magnificent sum of $4 apiece for 
those killed, nothing for the damage done 
to flock. Now for the .seciuel: I lost 
every one of the flock in less than three 
years, .so I got a little le.ss tlian 2()c 
apiece for my sheep and still the dog 
rules. uE.x.T. lkii.ma.x. 
Schoharie Co., N. Y. 
I iKiticed ycuir inquiry regarding pay¬ 
ment for sheep killed by dogs, and have 
just interviewed our county clerk rela¬ 
tive to the matter. He informs me that 
sheep killed 'by dogs in Brunswick Coun¬ 
ty are iiaid for at exactly the value given 
by the owner to the as-so-sser. If a far¬ 
mer lists his sheep with the assessor at 
.$5 each and later they are killtal by 
dogs he can - claim $5 eath for tho.se 
killed. Tlie last claim paid was for 16 
sheep ;it .$.5.75 each. All male dogs are 
taxed 5()e each aud females $1 each, the 
piTiceeds to be used to pay for sheep 
killed as far as needed, and the balance, 
if any, to go to the rftnd fund. 
Virginia. .tohn n. lkwik. 
I note that you a.sk for actual value 
put on sheep killed by dogs. About a 
year ago a neighbor had one sheep killed 
:md another badly wounded by dogs, and 
the following are the actual figures as 
ascertained by the We.st Virginia dog 
law: 
1 sheep killed, value . $5.(X> 
1 sheep injured, damage . 2.50 
Assessed damages . 7.50 
Appraisers costs at $1 . 3.00 
Constable’s costs . 1.00 
.lustice costs . 1.15 
Total cost of proceeding.$12.(55 
The officers’ costs were jiaid in full, 
then the balance of the dog fund is u.sed 
to reimburse, persons who have suffered 
loss from sheep killing dogs. In this 
case the fund paid just a little over 40 
per cent, of the loss, which amounted 
to $3.13 in the instance cited ab<»ve. 
In evi-ry instance that I have noticed 
the West Virginia dog law costs more to 
enforce than the actual losers of sheep 
get. A. .T. i.Kiai.

On Deeeniber 3 a farmer appeared be¬ 
fore me with a complaint for damag«“S 
for sheep killed by dogs. I appointed 
two men to look into the mattm- and 
as.sess the damages; and they, under 
oath, recurned a valuation of $7 per 
head. I knew the flock W(4l, as tliey 
'were pasitured on land adjoining m.v 
own, aud the.v were fine sheep. This 
claim will lun proliabl.v for nine or 10 
years without interest 'before being jiaid. 
3'he township is now that far behind 
with its sheep orders. Snsiiiiehaniia 
(’ouiity has a .special dog law with a 
township as a unit; and onl.v funds that 
aecrne B’om dog tax can be u.sed to pay 
damage, and Auburn township has far 
more worthless dogs than sheep.
