"The lapse of years only serves to strengthen
the position of the Shorthorn. A century of close
contact with the most exacting requirements of the
farm and feed-lot has only deepened the hold of the
'red, white and roan' upon the affections of the agri-
cultural world. The source of this perennial pros-
perity must be apparent even to the most casual
observer. The strength of the Shorthorn lies in its
unrivaled range of adaptability ; in the facility with
which it responds to the varied demands of those
who pursue a system of diversified farming — the
rearing of live stock as an essential feature in a well
ordered scheme of mixed husbandry. The Short-
horn is distinctly and emphatically a dual-purpose
breed." — A. H. Sanders in Shorthorn Cattle.

Short History of the Breed

By W. Arthur Simpson

Seeing that this publication will most probably reach many
people who heretofore had little opportunity of knowing much
regarding the origin of the breed, it is considered that it may not
be out of place to refer shortly to a few interesting facts regard-
ing the history of Shorthorn cattle.

During the earlier decades of the eighteenth century a class
of cattle of considerable reputation existed on both banks of the
river Tees, as it divides the counties of Durham and York in
North England. Although this was long before Herd Book
record days, it was spoken of as the Teeswater breed, later be-
coming known as the Shorthorn, as distinguished from the Long-
horn breed, and becoming known in the earlier days of their
introduction into America as Durhams from one of the counties
in which they originated. They were known to have been large,
strong boned, rather flat sided cattle that arrived at maturity
rather slowly, but attained to great weight. It is generally un-
derstood that the cows of the breed were good milkers. This
breed of cattle was one of the first to receive systematic and
widespread attention along pure breeding lines and can lay claim
to being one of the oldest breeds of "improved" livestock. As
early as 1750 the breed had begun to attract the attention of all
the progressive farmers, feeders and grazers of the country side
both far and near. Each of those who took pride in cattle vied
with the other in the exhibition of good specimens of the Tees-
water type ; and we can imagine with what absorbing interest
these breed builders compared the relative merits of their stock
and with what satisfaction they noted the progress being made.

Charles and Robert Colling, whose influence was felt soon
after 1780, were the first noted improvers of the breed although
it would be incorrect to describe them as its founders. They
adopted a system of persistent in-and-in breeding with superior
animals, specially selected and mated and thus fixed the charac-

teristics which they sought. Their names were brought to pub-
lic notice by exhibiting striking specimens from their herds
throughout England and by this means and by the introduction
of hiring out bulls the Shorthorn ceased to be a local bred and
became widely known and distributed throughout the United
Kingdom. Charles Colling sold his herd in 1810, one of his
bulls, Comet, brought the then extraordinary price of $5,000.00.

Following the Colling Brothers many good herds were es-
tablished in North England mainly from stock of the Colling
blood, among the most noted were owned by Thomas Bates and
John and Thomas Booth. From these two herds, bulls were bred
to head practically all of the other herds of the period and the
influence of their breeding operations exist today.

The Booths, while not overlooking milk, bred largely for
great flesh carrying capacity and pursued a system of exhibiting
well fleshed cattle from their herds at the leading fairs of the
time.

Thomas Bates aimed at and succeeded in breeding what may
be termed as a refined type of cattle, and we are told that the
females in his herd had a "refined sweetness of character pecu-
liarly their own," they were as a rule deep milkers. Bates con-
tended strongly for purity of blood and secured for his herd only
cattle of the oldest and best known lines of breeding, he was
morever an all-around improver, developing his herd along the
lines of both beef and milk. He checked the amount of food
consumed by each beast with the amount of milk produced or
the rate of growth or increase in weight, and compared the amount
of butter produced from a given quality of milk, and finally sub-
mitted the carcass of his animals to what he called the palate
test. He claimed that he effected in his 35 years of breeding
such an improvement over his original cattle that with a third
less consumption of food they gained a third more weight and
that while their milking qualities were unimpaired the milk yield-
ed a third more butter. Cattle as bred by Mr. Bates exerted a
commanding influence on the Shorthorn breed for nearly three
quarters of a century, at one time commanded the greatest prices
ever realized for pedigreed livestock and to the present day,

..

Milking Shorthorns in particular, carry a strong infusion of the
blood of cattle owned by Mr. Bates at Kirklevington.

Shorthorns were first brought to America about one hundred
years ago and the greater part of the first importations came
from herds bred similarly to the Bates and were therefore genu-
ine dual-purpose cattle, good milkers as well as great beef cattle.
No other breed is so immeasurably connected with the early his-
tory of improved agriculture in this country. The good dairy cow
of the eastern states, the prime grass fed bullocks from Kentucky
and Ohio were early demonstration of the ability of the Short-
horn to produce both beef and milk abundantly and they were
the pioneers in the improvement of range cattle and the elimina-
tion of the scrub.

For about fifteen years centering about 1870 the Shorthorn
breed suffered both in this country and in England from a spec-
ulative boom in pedigrees and many good cattle were injured
through the enhanced valuation put on particular lines of breed-
ing rather than on individual merit, however the breed in general
was not seriously affected by these practices and the disadvan-
tages that grew out of the speculative boom were more than off-
set later by the attention given to evolving the modern early
maturing beef type to meet the competition of the other beef
breeds. Foremost in perfecting this splendid beef type was
Amos Cruickshank, a Scottish farmer, and this sort of stock has
proven the most popular beef type in the world, noted where
ever good cattle are bred and raised. For the modern beef
Shorthorn can be claimed outstanding quality, early maturity,
greater weight for age and better milkers than are usually found
in the other strictly beef breeds.

While the Shorthorn breed has always been noted for great
milking cows the history of Milking Shorthorns as such begins
in this country and in England about the year 1890. In the early
days there was scarcely a herd of note that did not posess cows
of exceptional capacity as dairy producers. There are numerous
instances of good milk and butter yields being recorded but the
pedigree craze of the 70s, the evolving of the strictly beef type
and perhaps most important of all the opening of the range and

the practice of rearing the calves on their dams, temporarily ob-
scured the merits of the breed along milking lines. Generally
speaking the rise of interest in Milking Shorthorns in England
begins with the establishment of the Cranford herd by the late
George Taylor in the early 80s and in this country with the
foundation of the Glenside herd about 1890.

While Milking Shorthorns have been a paying factor on
American farms for nearly a century, one of the first official dem-
onstrations of their worth was made at the World's Fair test at
Chicago in 1893, where under unfavorable circumstances they made
a most commendable showing in production. Two of the leading
cows in this test were Kitty Clay 3d and Kitty Clay 4th the latter
standing third in net profit over all breeds. These full sisters be-
came the ancestr esses of the Clay family the leading tribe among
American Milking Shorthorns and their descendants have demon-
strated in no uncertain manner the milking ability of the breed.

From the first, breeders have placed their faith, not in short
period tests, but in the yearly proof of producing merit. Test-
ing was first started in a small way nearly twenty years ago and
provided the foundation evidence of the desirability of blood lines
with dual-purpose breeding for the production of this type of
cattle. Dual-purpose by demonstration was early adopted by
breeders as the best method of succeeding with the breed and for
the past five years all of the best herds have had careful, accurate
records of production. Official testing is being rapidly adopted.
Volume 1 Milking Shorthorn Year Book was issued in 1916
through the American Shorthorn Breeders' Association and vol-
ume 2 in 1917. They contain the records of 427 cows of all ages
with an average yearly production of 8,823.9 pounds milk each.
Those with fat records in addition to the milk yields average 330.2
each. It should be remembered that Milking Shorthorn breeders
have been consistent in keeping the dual-purpose idea in mind,
breeding the type of cow that would not only pay at the pail, but
also raise a profitable market steer and have not gone in for ex-
treme yields. Their aim has been to secure and breed profitable
production under average farm conditions, not only for one year,
but for a term of years. Dorothy, an English Milking Short-

6

horn, holds one of the highest, if not the highest record, of any
cow of any breed over a long term of years, having produced in
eleven years an average of 10,536 pounds milk yearly. Darling-
ton Cranford 5th of the same tribe averaged 10,174 pounds for
ten years.

Among the high record Milking Shorthorn cows in this coun-
try Ruby has 18,952 pounds milk, 715 pounds fat; Rose of Glen-
side, 18,075 pounds milk, 635 pounds fat; Doris Clay, 17,241
pounds milk, 653 pounds fat; Mamie's Minnie, 16,201 pounds
milk in one year, 15,160 pounds yearly for three years. A re-
print of all the records accepted for Volumes 1, 2 and 3 Milking
Shorthorns Year Book appears in this volume.

Two steers from Shorthorn cows with milk records over
10,000 pounds each in one year and sired by bulls from 10,000
pound dams were shown at the Wisconsin State Fair in 1917,
winning 2d and 3d in the open class.

Along with the keeping of dairy records showing at the fairs
has also been an important factor in popularizing these cattle.
The International Live Stock Show first made provision in the
classification by offering prizes for Shorthorn cows in milk in
1906. From this small beginning the exhibit has each year
steadily grown in numbers and strength until the 1917 show
staged a fine exhibit with a complete and full classification. The
Vermont State Fair was the first to provide full classes when
they opened the show to Milking Shorthorns in 1907. Here too
the exhibits grew to fine quality and strength and provided an
opening for breeders of these cattle that subsequently gained for
them recognition at nearly all the leading exhibitions of this
country.

For many years Shorthorns with dual merit have occupied a
commanding position in Britain's agriculture and not a little
recognition of merit for the breed in the U. S. A. has been
gained through the importation of good specimens from the home
of the breed, and these cattle have made good in demonstrated
production, show ring excellence and breeding ability.

The Milking Shorthorn interests found expression in 1914
through the foundation of the Milking Shorthorn Club of America.

Through this club these interests seem destined to find fullest
advancement. This club exists for promotion work only and
does not register cattle. At all times co-operation has been had
with the American Shorthorn Breeders' Association, the strong-
est breed registering association in the world and valuable help
and support has been derived.

Public appreciation has been shown by public sales of these
cattle, the Painesville, Ohio, consignment sale of 1916 averaging
$562 on 54 head, the Peer sale of 1916 averaging $751 on 72 head,
the Peer sale of 1917 averaging $781 on 55 head and the Glenside
sale on May 31, 1917, averaging $1,008 on 39 animals. Private
sales have been in keeping with public appraisement and gener-
ally speaking the demand for Milking Shorthorns may be said to
exceed the supply.

Milking Shorthorns for the Eastern Farmer

By Frederick C. Minckler

The live stock farmer is interested in any practical proposi-
tion that will coin for him a new dollar. The small dairy farmer
particularly, has had his discouragements during the past few
years owing to the fact that he has habitually relied upon the
corn belt farmer for nearly all of his consentrates and for an in-
creasing percentage of the roughage used in feeding his stock.

The relatively low price received for milk at the farm has
added to his discouragements and with the labor situation as
acute as it has been during the past year, many of our progres-
sive dairymen have determined to get out from under this heavy
load. To this end they are wondering if the future of live stock
farming in the East is not going to be patterned after the system
that prevails in England where the farmers, instead of maintain-
ing representatives of the so-called Specialty dairy breeds, are

patrons of the dual purpose type which today means the Milking
Shorthorn.

It is argued, and rightly so, that representatives of the Milk-
ing Shorthorn will yield quite as much milk as the average dairy
cow found on the average dairy farm; that her calf can be profit-
ably grown and developed into a beef steer and that when the
cow's usefulness as a producer of milk is ended, she can be turn-
ed into the fattening yard where in a very short time she de-
velopes a condition of fleshing that is very attractive to the
butcher who is willing to pay quite as much per pound for such a
cow as he pays for the general run of beef steers.

Rather than join the army of canners that is recruited from
most dairy farms she is able to enlist in the regular beef making
forces. True enough she will not produce as much prime meat
as the strictly beef animal nor as much milk as the strictly dairy
bred type, but she will yield quite as much milk and fat as do the
representatives of the prevailing breeds and in addition, produce
a calf that is a real asset rather than a mere nuisance.

On many Eastern farms there are vast areas of rough land
well suited for pasture purposes that are not being utilized.
Experience has convinced the dairy farmer that he cannot feed
milk worth ten cents per quart to a dairy calf, the value of which
is based upon the price the youngster will bring in the local mar-
ket for veal or beef. On the other hand, it is evident that the
British farmer in his stock breeding operations, carried on where
land values are a great deal higher, does not stop to argue this
question, largely because he knows that there is a genuine de-
mand for the kind of beef that these Shorthorn calves make when
properly developed and he goes on about his business regardless
of feeding costs and labor shortage. Unless the Eastern farmer
adopts the English system of intensive farming and produces on
his own farm the bulk of feed stuffs required to grow and finish
his animals; unless he abandons certain practices that have led
him to believe he is a large operator because he does a relatively
large amount of business, irrespective of net returns, or lest he
breaks away from patronizing the local feed dealer that claims
and receives a generous percentage of his 50c dollar, it is

easy to believe that his live stock farming operations will scarce-
ly be profitable or encouraging.

The Milking Shorthorn is clearly entitled to play a very im-
portant part in rejuvenating successful farming practices in the
New England States. She will produce meat and milk in abun-
dance. She will yield calves that will establish a competitive
market for either veal or baby beef in as much as this product
will satisfy the demands of the local butcher for freshly killed
beef possessing flavor and texture, while the cow herself will not
require the labor expenditure that must follow any operation
where dairying is exclusively followed.

The new era is going to find the Eastern stockman, especially
the tenant farmer who operates a small farm, engaged in the
growing of a few sheep, a few pigs and a few cattle, the produc-
tion of which will have a tendency to equalize his labor load and
make it possible for him to introduce a system of crop rotation
that will provide practically all of the feed required to supply
their needs, enable him to make the most of his meadows and
pastures and thus make him more independent of the Western
crop grower and the Eastern distributor of grains and hay.

Milking Shorthorns are bound to predominate in any organ-
ized effort of this kind and the young breeder who early chooses
this system of agricultural operation will clearly outrank, in the
years to come, his neighbor who persists in fiddling along with
mongrel cows possessed only with the dairy inclinations, and but-
ter fat illusions.

This breed of cattle was developed in England by Bates,
Booth and Cruickshank to serve as a rent paying agency and what
they did and are continuing to perform for the British tenant
farmer, they are bound to accomplish for the American farmer
who is face to face with problems very similar to those encount-
ered by the old country farmer.

The Milking Shorthorn in the Corn Belt

By J. L. Tormey

A glance at the history of the Great American Corn Belt re-
veals a page in the Agricultural Evolution of our country that is
almost romantic. Here in the central part of our great country,
almost midway between the two great oceans of the world, is a
scope of country unequalled for natural resources in the world. All
the natural conditions for food production to feed an Empire exist.
Blessed by nature with rich soil, a topography that makes work-
ing the land an easy problem, watered by the tributaries of the
Great Father of Waters, that are fed by the snows of the two great
back bones of the nation, and traversed by the greatest trunk-
lines of railways and waterways to be found anywhere in the
world, is it any wonder that the American Corn Belt is the
envy of the world?

In the history of nations there is perhaps no parallel to the
marvellous growth that has taken place here in less than a cen-
tury of time. It is easily within the memory of many, when the
Red Man travelled unmolested over much of the fertile prairie
land of the Mississippi and the Missouri. The tepee has given
way to the beautiful home. Large, comfortable barns and silos
without number have supplanted the great open, and providence
against the elements has supplanted the reckless methods of a
former generation.

Many changes have taken place in this great territory in the
past few decades. Early inhabitants of Central Illinois and Iowa
found cattle grazing lucrative. This, however, was only tempo-
rary. Following the Civil War came a period of expansion.
Our friends in the North Eastern part of the country remember
this period as one marked by great activity in manufacturing and
commercial lines. Increase in population called for greater food
production. The native American has been noted for his nomad-
ic inclinations. In the words of Horace Greeley, they "went
West and grew up with the country."

11

Extension of lines of Railway west of the Missouri opened
up new fields, and the Government's policy of Free Land opened
up new and cheap fields for production.

The cattle grower of the corn belt soon found he could not
compete with the grower of the plains, and became a "feeder."
He bought his feeders from the range, turned his pastures into
corn fields, picked his corn and fed cattle. This was profitable
until all the free land of the west was taken up and he found the
prices for feeders growing correspondingly higher. Corn Belt
land increased in price by leaps and bounds. Tenant farmers
became numerous. These latter did not have sufficient capital
to invest in breeding stock. The inevitable happened. The
tenant wished cash. Prices for corn were good. Large areas of
the Corn Belt became grain growing sections, and in many sec-
tions, once populated by good cattle one would have difficulty
finding more than enough cattle to supply milk for the family needs.

In the meantime, other changes were going on. The Corn
Belt was rapidly filling with people. Great manufacturing cen-
ters sprang up, and the demand for more animal products near
these hives of industry became imperative. There was also the
call of the soil, demanding nourishment. In all due deference
to the great natural fertility of the soil of the section, no coun-
try could long survive the deadly system of continuous cropping
with no return to the soil. Dairy sections unlike those found in
other sections of the world were built up around Chicago and
Milwaukee, and in outlying sections of the cropping area there
was a demand for cattle. The production of Baby Beef and older
beef began to attract attention. Far sighted business men whose
livelihood depended upon the fruits of the soil placed calls for
cattle.

Many of the farms were too large, and help too scarce to
warrant intensive dairying. A call for the cow that would return
profit both at the pail and in the shape of a good marketable
steer arose. Where could such a cow be found? It was not so
difficult for the farmer of the Corn Belt to find, or at least re-
member. Many of the old timers remembered the cows of the
days of Illinois and Iowa, brought into those sections from the

12

fertile districts around Lexington, Kentucky. In many cases,
the sadness of the affair was that many of the big "Double Deck-
ed" cows had disappeared entirely, and it became a search for
the Milking Shorthorn. It is not hard for us to convince the
Corn Belt farmer of the value of such cattle as represented by
the Milking Shorthorn of good type. The gravest problem is to
find the cattle he wants. Show him the Milking Shorthorn of
the correct type and he is in the market for both bulls and fe-
males. But the Corn Belt man is a good stockman when he sets
out to be one. He knows what the market demands. Big cows
without milking ancestry, he doesn't want. Neither does he de-
sire milk records without good cattle.

From the raising of cattle for beef alone to those that will
produce both beef and milk is an easy change for the Corn Belt
man; and he wants Shorthorns, because, experience has taught
him that Shorthorns stand the test of time. He needs only to
turn to the experience of Great Britain, where over 90% of the
milk produced is from Milking Shorthorns. In parts of Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and other states of the
Middle West, in the Corn Belt and bordering on it, there have
already sprung up communities of breeders of Milking Short-
horns, where good cattle are being produced. In competition
with special dairy breeds of cattle, they are holding their own in
Cow Testing Associations, and are making money for their
owners in supplying milk to creameries, cheese factories, con-
densaries, and city distributors of whole milk. The calves help
supply Chicago with some of the best grass fat steers produced
in America. The question with these men is: "Where can we
get more cattle like these ?"

Milking Shorthorns

By the late F. J. Curtin

The farmers' cow with the most wide-spread distribution
and which has made good in the greatest number of instances,
is the Milking Shorthorn. This pre-eminent position has been
obtained solely on its own merits, for it has not had the advan-
tages of persistent publicity such as has been given the dairy
breeds.

Our increasing population, with its greater demand for milk
and meat and grain, together with the passing of the large graz-
ing areas and the decrease in the amount of grain feeds available
for cattle feeding, call attention to a situation of increasing seri-
ousness in food production of all kinds. This, combined with
the labor situation, demands reorganization of existing systems
of farming in many sections.

Farm management surveys have shown conclusively that
the most successful farms are those having the largest numbers
of animal units. Farm roughages must be converted into some-
thing salable for cash and which takes the least fertility, at the
greatest profit, from the land. Common sense dictates the nec-
essity of a monthly income. The labor situation is acute. How,
then, can a fully stocked farm have a monthly income and dis-
pense in a large measure with labor? The answer is: The
Milking Shorthorn, an animal combining milk and beef-making
ability in a most remarkable degree.

There is a limit to the number of dairy cows one man can
successfully handle, and usually this number is not sufficient to
consume the roughages produced on the farm, and they must be
consumed to advantage if the best returns from the farms are to
be realized.

Farms keeping Milking Shorthorns have a great advantage,
because they have an animal that will produce profitably at the
pail and furnish a desirable carcass of beef. A farm can keep as
many milking Shorthorns as can be conveniently handled, or as

14

may seem desirable to milk for the monthly cream check. The
skim milk can be fed to the calves, which later, as feeders, with
a minimum of attention will be profitably converting the farm
roughages into meat and manure, increasing both the farm's
income and the fertility of the land. The value of the Shorthorn
as a profitable consumer of roughages is well known, which is a
great point in their favor, now that grain feeds are not so readily
available. The Shorthorn, by reason of its natural digestive
capacity, obtains the greatest value from its feed and produces
well with a minimum of grain.

The greatest profits from dairying are only realized from a
breed which is naturally fecund, for successful dairying depends
upon the normal annual freshening of the cow. The strength
and ruggedness of the Shorthorn enable them to breed readily
and regularly and at the same time give a profitable flow of milk.

As is seen by a study of records, Milking Shorthorns com-
pare very favorably with any dairy breed as milk producers. In
fact, Milking Shorthorns made more advanced registry records
in the first eight years of their official testing than did the Hoi-
stein and the Ayrshire in the first 16 years of their testing. The
Shorthorn records, too, have been made on farmers' farms, and
not on farms devoted to the making of forced records. A Ver-
mont Cow-Testing Association member keeping Milking Short-
horns found in checking up his records recently that four of his
cows had made a net profit over all feed costs of $282. This re-
turn was for the butterfat only, which had sold for an average of
slightly under 48c per pound. The skim milk was retained and
fed to the calves on the farm, many of which have sold for good
prices.

If milk production is the standard by which cows should be
judged, the Shorthorn leads them all. In England, on war-time
rations, there have been made records as follows : In 1915-16
over two hundred cows entered the Register of Merit of the Brit-
ish Milking Shorthorn Society with records better than 8,000 Ibs.;
thirty-two made over 10,000 Ibs. and there was a top of nearly
14,000 Ibs. In 1916-17 five cows made over 13,000 Ibs., two over
12,000 Ibs., ten over 11,000 Ibs., thirty-three over 8,000 Ibs., sixty-

15

six over 6,000 Ibs. These records are computed a little differ-
ently from over here, as the cow's production is taken from Sep-
tember 30th of one year to October 1st of the next year, so that
there are many incomplete records in addition to those men-
tioned.

There are more Records of Merit Shorthorn cows in Ireland
than there are cows of any other blood. The Irish Shorthorn
Breeders' Association Register of Dairy Cattle included up to
1917, 2,673 Shorthorn cows of all ages, of which 487 made be-
tween 5,000 and 6,000 Ibs. of milk ; 1,601 made between 6,000
and 8,000 Ibs. of milk ; 488 made between 8,000 and 10,000 Ibs. of
milk, and 106 made over 10,000 Ibs. of milk. Those making below
6,000 were all prior to 1912, in which year the standard for Regis-
tration was raised from 5,000 to 6,000 Ibs. for each lactation period.
It should be borne in mind that Ireland is a small farm country
and that these records have been made on very many farms and
under widely different conditions, indicating the natural ability of
the Milking Shorthorn to produce.

In Australia a Milking Shorthorn cow, Melba 7th, of Dar-
balara, is the champion producing cow of the Island Empire.

Besides having this remarkable producing and reproducing
ability, the Milking Shorthorn is an animal that will provide a
prime beef carcass, either in itself or in its progeny. There have
been several instances lately where cast cows have sold for 12c a
lb., live weight, returning over $200 a head as beef. In all breeds
there are aging, unprofitable cows, cows that fail to breed, heifers
that go wrong and must be slaughtered. With feed prices at
their present levels such animals have cost $100 to $150. How
many animals of the dairy breeds can be sold to the butcher at a
price that realizes a profit over the cost of their keep ?

Milking Shorthorn steers in recent open competitions have
done remarkably well. Last year, at the Wisconsin State Fair,
in an open class, two steers from Record of Merit Shorthorn
cows and sired by Milking Shorthorn bulls stood second and
third. At the International of 1917 the Shorthorn steer standing
next to the grand champion (also a Shorthorn) had four Record
of Merit sisters with two-year-old records of from 8,727 Ibs. of

16

milk; 355 Ibs. butterfat, to 5,120 Ibs. milk ; 225 Ibs. butterfat.

The Argentine has long realized the value of bulls from
heavy Milking Shorthorns and has paid as high as $15,000 for
them, knowing as they do the necessity of an adequate milk sup-
ply for the calf if profitable beef-making is to ensue.

The present trend of meat, grain and feed prices, the rail-
road situation, and the insistent demand for more beef, empha-
sizes clearly the place of the Milking Shorthorn, for the greatest
profits are being realized by those who raise their own feeders,
by virtue of their lower cost. The railroads are unable to cope
adequately with their enormous traffic demands, and as a result
the transportation of feeders is difficult and expensive, due to the
large shrinkage. In the east, where much mill feed is purchased,
the farms depending on dairy cattle accustomed to much grain, have
been hard hit. Their cows have not produced so well on rough-
ages. In either case were Milking Shorthorns on the farms
greater profits would ensue, as they do so uniformly well on
home-grown products.

The production of milk and meat more universally in all
sections by the use of Milking Shorthorns would not only help
the railroad situation by the production of these foods in the sec-
tion in which they are to be used, but would also help the whole
country economically, as apparently the time is rapidly approach-
ing, if, indeed, it has not arrived, when a large share of the
country's meat supply will have to be grown on the average
farms of the country.

Success with a breed also demands that there be a broad
demand for young registered stock at remunerative prices. There
is this demand for Milking Shorthorns, for it is being realized
more and more by the average farmer that the Shorthorn is the
breed for him.

A point that is often overlooked in connection with the
choosing of a breed is the character of the men and the breed
associations back of it. There is no stronger or more progres-
sive breed association than that back of the Shorthorn, and the
men breeding the red, white and roan are the most progressive,

17

loyal and helpful to newcomers in their ranks that can be found
anywhere.

Selecting and Feeding Milking Shorthorns

By R. M. Dodington

The closing up of the western ranges and the increased in-
terest in the dairy industry in this country in recent years has re-
vived the attention of the public to the old "Durham" cow as a
dual purpose animal second to no other breed, and for genera-
tions the backbone of the dairy operations in England. The de-
velopment of the Milking Shorthorn has been greatly encouraged
since the war when people began to realize that they could pro-
duce milk in paying quantities and also return a handsome sum
from beef.

We all wish to keep the true Shorthorn character in our
herds ; and altho the object is to breed cows that will give a good
yield of milk, we must also have them capable of grazing quickly
into good bodies of beef when their milking days are over, and
also of breeding steers that will repay well for weaning and fat-
tening. For this dual purpose no other breed can compare to
the Shorthorn.

I shall now attempt to describe the type of cow we are en-
deavoring to breed. She should be straight in her lines both
on top and underneath, be wide and deep, especially in the back
and hind quarters, having ribs well sprung altho it is no fault if
she is less thick on the top of the shoulder blades than those
animals bred purely for beef, her shoulders should lie well into
the back and there must be no coarseness at the points. The flesh
should be evenly laid on with out patchiness about the rumps or
hips, and the tail well set in. The head is an important feature —
it should be effeminate, the eye prominent and and placid, the

18

muzzel broad and clear in color, the horns not coarse and with
a delicate curve. The skin should be soft and pliable, the udder
capacious and carried well up, beginning high between the thighs,
and running well under the belly, when the cow is milked out or
when she is dry it should have a silky touch with an abundance
of loose and thin skin. The teats should be of fair length, well
spread out and evenly placed, the escutcheon well defined and
the milk veins prominent and with a large cavity. Such a cow
as I have described with the possession of a gay and stylish
carriage, whether she be red, white or roan, is to me, of all
animals, the most fascinating.

In England the beginner has the advantage of being able to
grade up and so can at the end of ten or twelve years acquire a
registered herd, that is with four crosses of a registered sire.
(Note by Editor. It should be remembered that these crosses
are made on what is virtually a pure Shorthorn foundation that
has passed inspection as to pure type.) The progeny would be
accepted in Coate's Herd Book, and it is this class of cattle
(Short pedigreed cattle) that is commanding high prices in Britain
today, and it a great advantage to the Milking Shorthorn breeder
of this country that the American Shorthorn Association will now
accept for registry these cows that are registered in Coate's
Herd Book. Previous to this year an animal, to be accepted for
registry must trace back to Vol. 50, thus keeping importers from
bringing to this country the real tops of the English breeders.

When transportation becomes easier and less expensive, im-
portations from England will probably revive, but under the
present conditions cows of this type are selling for more than the
average beginner can afford and so I will endeavor to give him
some advice gained from our own experience about starting a
Dairy Shorthorn herd with only limited means at his disposal.

The purchaser should begin by getting cows of robust con-
stitution and good confirmation, putting the pedigree as a sec-
ondary consideration. He should be careful that she has a good
udder and promises a good yield of milk, as a good milker will
pay her way to start with. I have seen many such good cows
sold within the means of the ordinary farmer that if mated to the

19

right kind of bulls would produce as good a dairy shorthorn as
possible. This brings us to the question of the right kind of
bull.

In selecting a bull my advise to every one is, go the limit
you can afford. We have seen many a farmer who could better put
his money in a better bull, than buy a "Ford", he would then be
able the sooner to sport a "Pierce- Arrow." Before purchasing a
bull see his dam if possible, do not be satisfied with a milk re-
cord only, but also be assured that the bull came from a good
cow with a shapely udder or at least get evidence to satisfy one-
self on these points; the sire of the bull must likewise come
from a good milking family and it will be much in the bull's favor
if heifers by his sire can be seen showing good udders and milk-
ing well. It is an old and true saying that the bull is half the
herd, for a bull with ordinary luck should leave 30 or 40 calves a
year for 4 or 5 years, 100 to 200 calves and as a calf by a good
bull is worth at least $100 more than one by a moderate bull,
surely any price within reason is no object. A breeder will never
get any further forward, whatever class of stock he is breeding,
if males not better than his own females are not secured. This is
a simple truth but one in so many cases ignored for the sake of a
few dollars.

It may be of interest to beginners to know how we handle
our herd as to feeding and general management. We look on
Dairy Shorthorns as a hardy breed of cattle that require no cod-
dling. Calves are taken from their dams as soon as they calve and
are fed their mother's milk for 4 or 5 days so that they get the
full benefit of the colostrum in the new milk. After that period
and providing they are in a thrifty condition 5 to 10 Ibs. milk are
fed twice a day for at least six weeks or two months, then the heifer
calves are put on one half whole milk and one half separated milk
for another such period, when the quantity is increased and sepa-
rated milk alone is fed. We place a mixture of crushed oats and
bran and soft clover hay before them from the start in individual
pans and changed daily and thus the calf gets to eat a little as
soon as possible.

We believe heifer calves eventually become better milkers as

20

cows, if not forced in their younger days, but kept in a thrifty con-
dition. Bull calves we feed new milk as long as we can spare it,
as it is an important factor that the bull carry good flesh and at
all times be in good saleable condition as the demand for our
bulls is from two months old and up and purchasers expect a
calf in good condition to start with. We often note with regret
the condition of the calves is not maintained afterward, many a
good calf leaving our herd and paid a good price for is neglected.
The purchaser thinking he has done all that is required by giving
a good price, expects his calf to develop into a show bull with-
out looking after him.

Our heifer calves we keep on separated milk as long as we
have it to spare, not turning them out at all until over six or
eight months old, when we keep feeding them a little grain in
paddocks around the farm until two years old. We find if turned
away as yearlings without grain during the summer that they
depreciate so that it takes them a long time to pick up to face
the winter. This of course depends on the condition of the pas-
ture. When the pasture is luxurious and sweet they can prob-
ably go without grain for several months, but with us on our
sandy soil, the grass does not last well over three weeks.

We do not care to breed them before they are two years old.
We either turn a bull out to pasture with them, or if in winter,
in a yard covered on three sides with an open shed. In the yard
we do not pamper them at all, giving them an ample supply of
roughage with very little grain. We keep them on this diet
until sure they are well forward with calf when we take them in
daily and grain them, thus getting them quiet and easy to han-
dle, ready for milking when they calve. We grow as many
mangles as possible and we find that this is not a bit more ex-
pensive crop to grow than corn. Beet seed may be put in with
a corn planter and after once being thinned as required they are
cultivated exactly the same as corn and there is no question as
to their feeding value over silage. They should be planted by
May 10th in Ohio and harvested before the first severe frost.

Water is an important element to help the cattle and in this
respect we have fresh water for our calves from the first week,

21

allowing them to drink when ever they please. With respect to
the time of breeding heifers much depends upon the condition,
but it is certain that heifers will do better to calve in the early
spring and go out on the pasture during the lactation period, as
two year and three year old heifers are still teething and if en-
tirely on dry feed as they would be, calving in the autumn, the
feed will not be so well digested, due to shedding their two year
old teeth. Some breeders are apt to condemn a heifer as a bad
milker with her first calf due to this very reason and on her
coming fresh with her second calf have made outstanding records.

We advise not pushing a two year old heifer, milking her
twice a day to develop her milking qualities gradually, but of
course milking every eight hours will give you 20 to 25% more
milk, especially if the cow has a loose box and self watering
bowl.

Cows on official test are milked three times a day until such
a time that they are not giving enough to make this worth while,
usually five to seven months, which brings us to the fact that the
Shorthorn is said to be not a long duration milker. This is not
borne out by facts. I find the average is the same in all breeds.
I find short period milkers in the straight dairy breeds. I would
rather have a Shorthorn cow give a reasonable quantity of milk
for nine months than a cow giving the same milk from 12 to 15
months, as the Shorthorn cow when dry is much cheaper to keep.
She can be turned out around a straw stack and get fat where a
straight dairy breed would starve.

I would point out to those engaging in the business and
wishing to dispose of their surplus stock, never to offer anything
if possible out of condition, for one thing you do not realize its
value and it does you and the breed no credit. Remember, in
nine cases out of ten, $50 worth of feed will bring you two hun-
dred dollars additional from your sale. There is one time to sell
a dairy Shorthorn cow, either when she is springing or just fresh
when you will realize the full value of the cow, because at this
period she is in good condition while when milking she milks
flesh into the bucket. I could relate many instances to bear out
this point.

22

Some readers will think I have told them little they did not
know before but I shall be satisfied if what I have said proves
interesting or useful to those with less experience or those who
may intend to embark on the breeding of dairy Shorthorns. To
them I may say that it is wise and necessary to anticipate their
share of disappointment and loss. Let them be as careful as
they may in selecting, they will always find, as in other breeds,
that a certain percentage of heifers which they bring into the
dairy do not milk sufficiently well to justify keeping them.
These should be sold off at once no matter what their breeding
or looks may be unless the failure is due to any ailment the ef-
fects of which may pass away.

In all stock breeding the rough has to be taken with the
smooth and a man must hold out even if things do not go well.
We have had our share of all the disappointments but in spite of
them I consider the breeding of Dairy Shorthorns offers a career
in which a man may gain not only a vast amount of pleasure but
also with ordinary good luck and management a handsome finan-
cial success.
