The “ Looks” of a Purebred Animal 
How can I tell a genuine bull? I got 
a Holstein bull calf and he looks different 
from the others I have. F. R. 
Norwich, ('onu. 
You cannot always tell a purebred ani¬ 
mal from a grade or .scrub on its looks, 
though good cattle men can come close to 
doing it. A calf will not always have ex¬ 
actly the same shape or color of its pa¬ 
rents. The Holstein-Friesian Association 
refuses to register cattle which carry cer¬ 
tain color markings. The following- 
named colors will bar a calf from registry 
even if the parents are purebred : 
(1) Solid black. 
(2) Solid white. 
(.3) Black switch. 
(■4) Solid black, with only white on 
belly, 
(5) Black on legs, beginning at feet 
au<l extending to knees and hocks. 
(fi) Black on legs, beginning at feet 
aiul extending to knees and vvhite inter¬ 
spersed, 
(7) Gray, or mixed black and white, 
generally prevailing. 
(8) Patches of other colors than 
black or white; red. brown, dun, etc. 
(9) Red and white. 
One of our readers had such a calf 
which he knew was from a registered 
cow and sired hy a purebred bull. The 
association believed his statement, but 
felt that the calf looked too much like a 
grade, and thus was not desirable for 
breeding. You do not say whether the 
cow and hull are registered cattle. Of 
course, if they are not you nevei* can be 
sure that the calf will look like the 
others. 
Rape as a Cover Crop 
Can you advi.^ie us about planting rape? 
Would rape planted in corn ground after 
la.st cultivating to keep down wecd.s be of 
value as a cover crop? Would it make 
forage for cattle as it does for .sheep? Is 
there any danger of its seeding and be¬ 
coming a weed pest? B. P. s. 
Oil City, Pa. 
Rape makes a good cover crop when 
seeded at the last cultivation of corn. We 
have used it frequently during the past 
few years, but it is better to sow a com¬ 
bination of turnip and clover seed. We 
generally mix the rape and turnip .«:eed 
with Alsike and seed together. About 
half a bushel of rye put in with this 
small seed will usually pay. This com¬ 
bination with us makes a better crop for 
turning under. The rape makes a good 
forage for sheep or hogs, and is also good 
for beef cattle or calves. When the cows 
get too much of it the milk is apt to liave 
a bad taste, the same as when turnips 
are fed too heavily, and we would not ad¬ 
vise- it as a dairy feed. We have had no 
trouble in its spi'ead so as to become a 
weed pest, and we think there would be 
little danger of that in a rotation where 
the cover crop is plowed under early. 
Dairy Conditions in New York 
I do not think there will be as much 
milk produced here as last seasdn. 3'he 
farmers are not using as much grain feed 
on account of the prices. The pastures 
are starting late; there are not as many 
cows around here as last year, ir. d. 
» Owego, N. Y. 
I think the milk supply will be as large 
as last year if we have as much rain. I 
am using the same feed as I always have, 
and think the neighbors are also. I think 
the pastures will be as good as last year 
if we have the rain, and there will be 
about the same number of cows kept 
around here. Some not so many and 
some more. The present outlook for pas¬ 
ture is about one week later than one 
year ago. All kinds of feeds are high 
here. Gluten is the cheapest, $45; other 
feeds from $60 to $70 per ton. Oats are 
nearlv all sown; potatoes very high, 
$3.50‘ to $4 for seed. c. F. m. 
Lockwood, N. Y. 
I think there is about the same num¬ 
ber of cows in Chenango County this 
year as last. We are not feeding half 
as much grain thiS Spi-ing as usual, it is 
too high for farmers to buy to niake milk 
some not feeding any now; it is too early 
to tell about the pastures for the coming 
Summer. That will depend on the rain¬ 
fall ; it all depends n grass here. If the 
pastures should dry up the flow of milk 
would lie lighter. C. H. H. 
Coventry, N, Y. 
Conditions in this section among the 
milk producers look very encouraging, 
fl’here is a small increase in the number 
of cows over previous Summers; the pas¬ 
tures and meadows were never in better 
condition, and with favorable weather 
there will be a large amount of milk pro¬ 
duced. Farmers are not feeding quite as 
much feed as usual; in other words they 
are feeding more intelligently than pre¬ 
viously, and producing on an average as 
much milk according to the number of 
cows. Although this is not a potato .sec¬ 
tion there will he about twice as many 
planted if fanners can get seed ; that will 
cut meadows short only a little. c. B. N. 
I'acoina. N. Y. 
.\hout the same miinbor of (ows last 
season. Milk supply should be as heavy. 
Feeding normal. Pasture will be two 
weeks late. .r. ii. 
Campbell. N. Y. 
I see no I'easons for any decrease in 
milk products this coining year. While 
fanners are not feeding as much grain as 
usual they have plenty of hay. and have 
carried their .stock through in fairly good 
condition on less "rain, most of them are 
keeping their usual number. I’asture.s 
are a little late, hut with the past few 
seasons of good growing weather iiastiires 
and meadows generally are in good con- 
dUion. and on the whole I think there 
will be au average amount of dairy ju-o- 
ducts from this section. w. o. .s. 
Bainbridge, N. Y. 
I believe farmers will carry as many 
cows as they have in past seasons, and 
are using considerable feed. I do not 
know of any reason why the farmers here 
should not supply as much milk as they 
have in past seasons, except that weather 
conditions have been siieh that if it does 
not warm up and rain soon I am afraid 
there will be a serious shortage of pas¬ 
ture. At best it will be late before farm¬ 
ers can turn their stock out. a. o. v. 
Tioga Center, N. Y. 
It is in my opinion a little early to 
tell just what the conditions of dairying 
will be in this section. We are having a 
very cold, backward Spring. The pas¬ 
tures are, I think, behind what they were 
a year ago. However, if the weather 
comes off warm and bright another week 
will find most of the cows at pasture. I 
can see no reason why the pastures 
shouldn’t be as good as last .season. I 
think from what I can learn there Avill 
be more milk produced in this section 
than a year ago. I feel safe in saying 
that the majority, if not all, the farmers 
in this locality are stocked to the limit of 
their farms. There has been a brisk de¬ 
mand for fresh cows this Spring occa- 
sionecl I presume by the high prices for 
milk and abundance of hay on the farms. 
I think the amount of feed used would 
compare favorably with last year. At 
liresent, however, it is hard to get .some 
kinds of feed. f.. e. ir. 
llohuesville, N, Y. 
Cows from $60 to $125, according to 
age and milk flow at auction. Hay hard 
to sell; I sold 20 tons in New Y'ork City 
for about $12.80 per ton net baled, offered 
in barn, $10.50. White bran, $2.80 per 
cwt.; mixed feed, $2.65; cracked corn. 
$;’..':0: oats for feeding. 90c bu.; gluten 
feed, $2.(50 per cwt.; coni and oats, $.3.10; 
cornineal, $3.25. Owing to above prices 
fanners are not feeding heavily, so there 
is not very much milk made at iirevailing 
jU’ices (League prices). I had some 
buckwheat to sell last Winter. Iiiit was 
offered .$1.10 per bii., so I fed to chick¬ 
ens. Eggs at store. 34c per doz.

Annual Meeting of the American Jersey 
Cattle Club 
3’he forty-ninth annual meeting of the 
American .Tersey Cattle Club, held at the 
Waldorf-Astoria, May 3, disclosed that 
the year just ended has been the most 
successful in the history of the club. 
T)uriug the year 36,117 Jerseys were 
entered in the Herd Register, and there 
were 34,499 transfers recorded, indicat¬ 
ing au increase of 17 per cent, over the 
year before in the sale of Jerseys, which 
is the largest increase in transfers that 
has been recorded for over twelve years. 
Eighty-four new members were admitted 
to the club, bringing the total up to 649, 
against 592 the year previous. There are 
now one hundred applications for mem¬ 
bership pending. A report on extension 
work showed that great results have been 
attained by the breeders in their respec¬ 
tive localities in stimulating interest iu 
the lu'eed. 
It was iiuauiiuously agreed that all 
Jersey breeders should be asked to co¬ 
operate with the National Food Commis¬ 
sion and the Committee on National De¬ 
fense, in the conservation of food pro¬ 
ducts, and for a greater production of 
dairy foods. 
M. D. ]\luun, of St. Paul, Minnesota, 
was unaniiuously re-elected president; 
E(l. Cary, of Carlton, Oregon ; F. J. Ban¬ 
nister. of Kansas City, Mo.; W. Gettys, 
of Athens, Teuu., and George Batten, of 
New .Tersey. were elected memhei's of the 
Board of Directors for a term of three 
years. At a meeting of the Board of Di¬ 
rectors following the annual meeting, F. 
W. Sessions, of Utica, New York, was 
electee! vice-president. R. M. Gow was 
reappointed secretary.
