Why  I  Like  the  Dutch  Belted  Cattle 
The  Dutch  Belted  cattle  originated  in 
Holland,  and  were  almost,  exclusively 
bred  by  the  Dutch  nobility,  dating  away 
back,  into  past  centuries.  The  historian 
Motley  has  said,  “These  cattle  are  the 
most  wonderful  in  the  world,”  and  it  is 
conceded  that  for  scientific  breeding  at¬ 
tainment  they  have  no  parallel  in  all  the 
history  of  live  stock  breeding.  The  de¬ 
mand  for  breeding  stock  and  its  scarcity 
has  kept  most  of  the  herds  small,  and  the 
fact  that  since  1000  no  importations 
could  be  made.  However,  the  breed  is 
gaining  in  numbers  and  in  favor  with 
breeders  at  a  rapid  rate.  I  am  going  to 
give  my  reasons  for  preferring  the  Dutch 
Belted  cattle  to  any  other  breed  by  ans-

Cowpox  Treatment 
On  page  220  I  see  A.  S.  A.,  in  reply 
to  F.  A.  W.,  says  cowpox  is  a  disease 
that  has  to  run  its  course.  There  is  a 
cure  which  I  tried  upon  the  advice  of  a 
neighbor.  Gather  Balm  of  Gilead  buds, 
put  in  a  dish  and  use  enough  melted  lard 
to  cover  them.  Stew  thoroughly  and  use 
as  ointment,  which  will  cure  in  a  few 
days.  e.  p.  F. 
You  misunderstood  our  meaning.  Cow- 
pox  has  to  run  its  course  insofar  as  one 
cannot  prevent  the  successive  crops  of 
pustules  from  erupting.  These  do  not, 
as  a  rule,  come  out  all  at  one  time,  but 
more  and  more  are  liable  to  appear  as  the 
first  crop  heals.  Each  pustule  goes  through 
a  regular  course  of  appearing,  forming  a 
collection  of  lymph,  forming  a  crust  or 
scab  after  rupturing,  and  of  healing  un¬ 
der  the  scab,  which  leaves  a  small  pock¬ 
mark  when  it  drops  off.  The  chief  ob-

wering  a  few  of  the  questions  so  often 
asked  me. 
“What  advantage  has  the  Dutch  Belted 
breed  over  the  Jersey  or  Guernsey?” 
The  Dutch  Belted  cattle  are  larger  in 
size,  require  little  if  any  more  feed,  give 
a  larger  flow  of  milk,  which  is  superior 
for  drinking  or  cooking  purposes.  They 
are  more  hardy,  vigorous,  better  able  to 
withstand  our  variable  climates. 
“What  are  the  chief  advantages  of  the 
Dutch  Belted  cattle  over  the  Ilolsteins?” 
They  are  more  compact,  finer-boned 
animals,  better  rustlers,  therefore  being 
more  economical  feeders. 
“WThy  are  there  no  great  official  records 
of  the  Dutch  Belted  cattle?” 
Because  only  until  the  last  two  years 
has  the  Dutch  Belted  cattle  association 
had  an  advance  registry  department,  but 
since  then  some  very  good  records  have 
been  made,  for  instance :  Dr.  J.  C.  Du 
Puis  of  Lemou  City,  Fla.,  conducts  a 
large  dairy  numbering  210  cows,  Jerseys, 
Ilolsteins  and  Dutch  Belted  about  evenly 
divided.  A  record  is  kept  of  every  cow. 
On  his  Dutch  Belted  herd,  including  the 
junior  two-year-old  class,  adults  and 
seniors  averaged  9,998  lbs.  of  milk  and 
412  lbs.  of  fat,  for  his  official  365-day  rec¬ 
ord  on  a  herd  milking  twice  daily.  We 
should  like  to  hear  from  any  herd 
throughout  the  country  under  same  con¬ 
ditions  that  can  exceed  the  above  average. 
Furthermore,  the  above  foundation  herd 
was  purchased  sight  unseen  by  letter 
without  being  backed  by  any  kind  of  rec¬ 
ords. 
I  honestly  believe  that  the  Dutch  Belt¬ 
ed  cattle  best  fill  the  requirements  for  an 
ideal  dairy  breed.  The  cow  that  will  re¬ 
turn  the  largest  percentage  of  yield  for 
amount  consumed,  the  cow  backed  by 
high  development  of  reproduction,  is  fitted 
for  pre-eminence  in  the  dairy. 
Connecticut.  R.  J-  Leonard. 
ject  of  treatment  should  be  to  prevent 
spread  of  the  disease,  as  it  is  readily 
carried  from  cow  to  cow  by  the  milker’s 
hands,  and  to  prevent  infection  of  the 
sores  when  raw  from  rubbing  off  the  scab. 
We  did  not  mean  that  there  is  no  suc¬ 
cessful  way  of  dealing  with  the  pustules 
or  vesicles  to  prevent  infection  and  en¬ 
courage  perfect  healing.  We  have  pre¬ 
scribed  such  treatment  here  on  several 
occasions  and  have  now  to  add  that  a 
very  fine  ointment  for  application  may 
be  made  by  mixing  together  equal  quan¬ 
tities  of  benzoated  oxide  of  zinc  ointment 
and  carbolated  vaseline  and  then  mixing 
thoroughly  with  each  ounce  of  the  com¬ 
bination  one  dram  of  subnitrate  of  bis¬ 
muth.  Apply  it  two  or  three  times  daily. 
Readers  will  also  do  well  to  give  our  cor¬ 
respondent’s  balm  of  Gilead  salve  a  trial.
