Holstein Clubs are 
Flourishing Everywhere 
Holstein Clubs, country, state and dis¬ 
trict, have been organized throughout 
the country and are making wonderful 
progress in establishing testing associa¬ 
tions, and in co-operative effort in eradi¬ 
cating disease among their animals. They 
are receiving definite and systematic aid 
from the Extension Service activities of 
The Holstein-Priesian Association. Mem¬ 
bers are inspired also with ideals in dairy¬ 
ing and dealing, and in many ways the 
greatest good for all Holstein breeders is 
being propagated.

Live Stock Matters 
By Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Corn and Buckwheat for Cows 
Will you tell me how to make up a 
balanced ration for milch cows? I have 
hay with very little clover and dry corn¬ 
stalks, cobmeal and a lot of buckwheat 
flour that is just slightly musty. I thought 
it. might be worked into a ration. We 
have a lot of buckwheat bran. What 
other grain shall we mix with this to 
make a balanced ration? D, j. s. 
It will be possible for you to use the 
corn and cobmeal, likewise the buckwheat 
meal and buckwheat bran iu a ration in¬ 
tended for dairy cows. It is doubtful 
whether the mustiness of the buckwheat 
flour would in any way depreciate it iu 
feeding value for live stock. I would sug¬ 
gest the following combination : 400 lbs. 
flour, 200 lbs. buckwheat bran, 300 lbs. 
gluten meal, 200 lbs. of oilmeal, 200 lbs. 
wheat bran. Feed 1 lb. of this grain 
l’ation for each 3 or 4 lbs. of milk pro¬ 
duced pe rday. Allow the animals such 
roughage, including bay, as they will 
clean up with relish. 
Horse-breeding Question 
I have bred on the farm only roadsters 
and general purpose horses, which the 
motor car has about put out of business, 
and the market now seems to demand 
more weight. I bought a pair of mares a 
year ago—seven years old, dark bays, a 
fine team, weight 2,700, bloeky—and from 
appearances are pretty, well-bred Shires. 
They have been crossed by a registered 
I’ercheron, dapple gray in color, a fine 
looker, weighing 1,800 pounds. A. s. 
It lias been my observation that the 
average farmer has absolutely no business 
in attempting to produce for market pur¬ 
poses any light or so-called driving horses, 
owing to tlie fact that there is scarcely 
any demand for them. Everyone who can 
afford to pay a decent price for a useful 
animal of this type prefers to buy an 
automobile of some sort, so you are right 
in turning to the production of farm work 
horses. Draft horses will always bo in 
demand on our Eastern farms, and it 
ought to he possible to produce colts with 
size, weight and quality from the cross 
you have indicated. As a matter of fact. 
Percherou horses predominate in this 
country. It is estimated that there are 
more Pereheron horses in this country 
than obtain with all other breeds com¬ 
bined, and the men who had to do with the 
artillery during the war came back with 
the report that the Pereherons produced 
in this country were the most useful un¬ 
der the conditions that obtained at the 
front, where exposure was frequent ami 
where stamina and staying qualities were 
fundamental. 
As a general rule Shires are larger than 
Pereherons, but they have never been pop¬ 
ular in this country owing to the fact that 
they were clumsy, and to the further fact 
that the American farmer never took kind¬ 
ly to their feathery legs. They are clearly 
the most popular type of cart horse in 
England, and are noted for their excep¬ 
tional weight and ability to do heavy 
work. If you would use a Percherou stal¬ 
lion on the Shire mares you would get an 
animal of good size and one which would 
be very likely to be clean limbed. Yet the 
best draft horses that are found in our 
leading markets are not the result of this 
mating. 
It is well to remember that it is essen¬ 
tial to grow draft colts well during the 
first year; in fact, they should gain at 
least half of their mature weight during 
the first year. You will find that they 
will mature earlier than the representa¬ 
tives of the other types, and you ought to 
place them on the market when they are 
four or five years old at a good figure, pro¬ 
vided they possess weight and quality.

$546 was the average price paid for all Guernseys 
sold at public auction in 1010. This average sur¬ 
passes that obtained by any of the other dairy breeds. An 
auction sale lets the buyer set the price. His price is tlie 
only true indication of the value placed on the breed by the
