Gentlemen: I beg to state that since my previous report of April 29, 1893, I have remained contin-
uously at work at the World’s Fair dairy barns, under direction of your committee.

In the report before referred to I stated that 56 cows and one bull had been brought to the barns,
After that time the herd was added to by cows to the number of nine, also eight heifers and two bulls,
making a total of 76 head.

Herewith are the names of the cows, heifers and bulls so kindly contributed by the Jersey breeders
for the World’s Fair dairy tests :

MILK FEVER.

In my previous report I stated the death of Gem of Mountain Side 36577. Garella 62541 was the
only other cow that died subsequent to calving. Her death occurred during excessively hot weather.
The second day after calving she had been doing well, and, besides nursing her calf through the night,
had given at six o’clock in the morning 1714 lbs. of milk. At eight o’clock the same morning, when I saw
her, she appeared perfectly well. At nine o’clock she was reported to meas sick. At half-past nine she
was unconscious. We removed her from the box-stall to the open floor of the stable, and revived her by
stimulants ; but she remained unconscious, and later on passed into milk fever, from which she never
recovered, although every effort was made to save her. The remedies which I had used previously in
other cases of milk fever seemed to act upon her beneficially, and she apparently responded to the
treatment ; but we were never able to recover her from the comatose condition into which she had lapsed
before she passed into milk fever. From her condition at eight o’clock in the morning, and from the
quantity of milk which she gave then, and also from her temperature during the night preceding and that
morning, I am inclined to think that she would not have been stricken with milk fever were it not for the
excessive heat which first prostrated her, and from which she passed into milk fever.

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 5

The following cows had milk fever, but were successfully carried through same, and recovered there-
from : Eurotisama, Pretty Marchioness and Signal Queen. Of all the cows calving at the barn, Garella
was the only cow whose death was caused by milk fever. As is usual in such cases, it was the best that
was taken. She was a magnificent animal, and had come in with this, her second calf, carrying a tremen-
dous udder and giving an enormous flow of milk, and promised to have been one of our best cows.

TESTING COWS FOR SELECTION FOR TEST NO. 1.

As promised in my first report, each cow that had calved previous to the test received one or more
tests by the churn of aday’s milk. These tests were conducted by me personally. I was present at the
milking, weighed the milk, placed it in a can, sealed the same, retained it under seal until broken by me
and placed in the churn. I remained constantly present during the churning, saw the butter made, worked
and weighed in my presence, and then made record of the same. In addition to this, I also took an ‘‘oil
determination ” of each cow for each milking of one day, a ‘‘composite oil test” for a single day’s milk-
ing, and a ‘‘ composite oil test ’’ for each cow of seven consecutive days’ milkings. In the last case the cows
were all taken on the same seven days. Iwas present at each milking, saw these samples taken, and
supervised the determination of the fat contained therein by the Babcock oil test machine. The jars in
which the samples were retained were initialed, and I carried the key to same myself. These tests
formed the basis upon which the cows were selected for Test No. 1, regard being had to the staying quali-
ties of the cows, as far as one could ascertain them, and the distance from calving of the cows under con-
sideration.

Your committee, by resolution, decided that neither Eurotisama nor Signal’s Lily Flagg should be
included in the herd, as it was thought desirable that phenomenal cows should be excluded therefrom.

Discarding all past records, and basing my judgment solely upon the performance of the cows in
my hands at Jackson Park, I recommended to your committee for Test No. 1 the cows herein set out as
those selected, of which your committee approved, and they accordingly formed the herd for Test No. tr.

I continued to keep accurate record of the performance of the other cows in the stable which had
calved, for the purpose of determining what changes, if any, should be made in the herd for Test No. 2,
based upon the actual work performed by them here.

CHANGE OF COWS FOR TEST NO. 2.

Pretty Marchioness had, previous to and during the continuance of Test No. 1, aeveloped garget in
One quarter of her udder, and I was fearful that, if she continued through the ninety days’ test, the feed-
ing necessary to secure good performance from her would tend to increase the difficulty referred to, and
for that reason she was dropped at the beginning of Test No. 2 and Romp’s Princess substituted in her
place. Islip Lenox, which was not in Test No. 1, and which had calved late, was showing uncommonly
good work, and it was thought desirable to have her included in the herd for Test No. 2. She was
accordingly substituted in the place of Tristeka.

I continued to keep records of the cows not in the test, other than Eurotisama and Signal’s Lily
Flagg, for some considerable time after the beginning of Test No. 2, and made analyses of the fat in the
milk by the oil test, and it was very gratifying to find that the selection of the cows as embraced in the
herd for Test No. 2 proved to be the correct selection.

RULES GOVERNING TESTS.

The Testing Committee was ‘composed of Prof. M. A. Scovell, of the Kentucky Experiment Sta-
tion, chairman ; Profs. S. M. Babcock, Wisconsin Experiment Station ; I. P. Roberts, Cornell University,
N. Y.; H. P. Armsby, State College of Pennsylvania (the fotlr named having been appointed by the
Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations) ; and Prof. W. H. Caldwell, representing

6 THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

the American Guernsey Cattle Club, H. H. Hinds the American Short-Horn Association, and myself the
American Jersey Cattle Club, as superintendents of the breeds named.

The rules governing the tests were formulated and assented to at various meetings called by the
Hon. W. I. Buchanan, Chief of Agriculture of the World’s Columbian Exposition, and were in process
of formation and amendment for at least a year and a half previous to their being adopted. The follow-
ing associations or cattle clubs were represented at these meetings, and assented to the rules: American
Jersey Cattle Club, American Guernsey Cattle Club, American Short-Horn Breeders’ Association, Hol-
stein-Friesian Association, American Devon Cattle Club, Red Polled Cattle Association, Brown Swiss
Cattle Association, and American Ayrshire Association.

Upon the Testing Committee devolved the duty of carrying out the detaiis of the tests, as provided
for in such rules, subject at all times to the approval and consent of Chief Buchanan. The rules as form-
ulated prior to the beginning of the tests were adhered to, save in some minor details. Meetings of
the Testing Committee were held every day from the beginning of the tests to the end of the same, save
on Sundays, and I was present at almost every meeting.

WEIGHING OF COWS.

The rules provided that for the first five days of each test the cows should be weighed, to ascertain
the average weight during those five days, and also the five days immediately preceding the termination
of each test ; so that, except in Test No. 3, the herd should receive credit, or should be debited, with the
increase or decrease in the weight of each cow, and consequently of the herd, at the rate of 414 cents per
pound. A study of the tables of the weighing of each cow from day to day during these five days demon-
strates a great variation in the weight, at times amounting to as much as 50 lbs., and the wisdom of ex-
tending it to five days was amply demonstrated.

TEST NO. 1—CHEESE (FIFTEEN DAYS).

For this test the following associations had each pledged twenty-five cows : American Jersey Cattle
Club, American Guernsey Cattle Club, and American Short-Horn Association. All of the other breeds
enumerated had originally pledged cows, but failed to enter, although barns had been built for them by
the World’s Fair authorities.

The price of feed was fixed by Chief Buchanan prior to the test, and was pased upon the price in
open markets in New York City, Buffalo and Chicago at that time, as was also the value of cheese, and in
Tests Nos. 2 and 3, the value of butter. The following are the prices of feed per ton for this test :

The result of this test was most gratifying to Jersey breeders, as they obtained a complete victory
in every way. While a few believed the Jersey cow was, par excellence, not only the best butter cow, but
also the best cheese cow, it was not generaily conceded that this was the case ; and it remained for this
test to prove, in the most conclusive way, that she was not only the queen of the churn, but of the cheese-
vat. As was demonstrated, the Jersey herd not only gave more milk-than either of the other breeds, ex-
ceeding the Guernseys in the fifteen days by 2357.8 lbs., and the Short-Horns by 1109.5 lbs., but the milk
contained not only more fat, but also more solids other than butter fat, so that the milk made more cheese
per hundred pounds than that of either of the other breeds. The quantity of cheese produced by the
Jerseys exceeded that of the Guernseys by 321.14 lbs., and the Short-Horns by 374.16 lbs.

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 7

SCORES OF CHEESE,

uring the first four days cheese was not made, owing to the appliances in the dairy not being ready
to make good cheese ; also on the 20th of May cheese was not made, as the milk of that day went sour.
But for the ten days in which cheese was made the average scores adjudged by competent and impartial
judges were as follows : j
Flavor. Texture. Keeping Quality. Color. Total.

PV OUOTE MOMS Seco ose e ete 50.4 22.3 13.4 4.4 90.5

The amount of cheese credited to the breeds on the four days in which cheese was not made was
obtained in the following manner: As the average pounds of fat and solids in the ten daysin which cheese
was actually made is to the pounds of cheese produced therefrom, so the total pounds of fat and solids in
each day is to the cheese of those days credited to each herd and to the individual cows composing the
same. The credited cheese from the milk of the 20th of May was ascertained by taking the average of
cheese for the two days immediately preceding and the two days immediately following that day.

NET PROFITS.

The net profit of the Jersey herd for this test (fifteen days) was $119.82, and exceeded the Guernseys
by $31.52, equal to an excess net profit per cow per day of 8 4/25 cents, and the Short-Horns by $38.46,
equal to an excess net profit per cow per day of Io 6/25 cents.

AWARDS,

Five awards were given by the World’s Columbian Exposition as follows: ‘‘ (a) For the individual
cow in each breed competing which yielded the greatest net profit during the test.” The Jersey Ida Mari-
gold 32615 was champion of the Jerseys, yielding net $6.97. The Guernsey Sweet Ada was their cham-
pion, with a net profit of $5.27, and the Short-Horn Nora, with a net profit of $6.27, headed the Short-
Horns. Until the increase of live weight was taken into consideration, Merry Maiden 64949 led all the
cows, the Jerseys included, by a few cents, but inasmuch as Ida Marigold gained in live weight in excess
of Merry Maiden, the former was the champion cheese cow of the herd.

The next award is: ‘‘ (4) For the individual cow in any breed competing which yielded the greatest
net profit during the test,” and this was the Jersey Ida Marigold, winning by a very strong lead.

The next award is: ‘‘ (c) For the five cows in each breed competing which yielded the greatest net
profit during the test.”” They were the cows

The next award was: ‘‘(¢) For the five cows in any breed competing which yielded the greatest
net profit during the test,” and was awarded as follows :

It will be noticed that, with the exception of No. 5, every one of the cows is a Jersey, and the Short-
Horn is placed in this position from the fact that the value of her increase in live weight is $2.52. Other-
wise she would have stood very much lower.

The last award, the most important of all, is: ‘‘(e) For the breed which yielded the greatest net
profit during the test,” and again the Jerseys are declared the victors. A more sweeping or more decisive
victory for the Jersey breed could hardly have been wished for, as they won at every point in this test,
with a large margin to spare. They gave the most milk, containing the greatest percentage of fat and
solids, and consequently the greatest amount ofcheese. They gavea net profit per cow over the other
breeds which of itself would constitute a fair profit to the ordinary dairyman. Out of the 75 competing
cows the Jerseys have 14 in the first 25 with an average net profit per cow of $5.75 2/7; the Guernseys 7,
average net profit per cow, $4.79 ; and the Short-Horns 4, average net profit per cow, $5.4214.

The lowest Jersey in profit out of the 75 is fifty-third, with a net profit of $3.11. The Guernseys
have eight lower, ranging down to a net profit of $1.91, and the Short-Horns fourteen lower, ranging down
to a net profit of $1.08.

MILK REQUIRED TO POUND OF CHEESE,

The quantity of milk required to make a pound of cheese was as follows: Jerseys, 9.16 lbs.;
Guernseys, 9.67 lbs.; Short-Horns, 11.31 Ibs.

FEED AND MILKING.

While the feed given the Jerseys was in excess of that given the Guernseys, it showed uncom-
monly good net increased profit in return. The average milk given by each cow per day in the Jersey
herd was 35.456 lbs., that of the Short-Horns 32.495 lbs., and that of the Guernseys 29. 16g lbs.

In this test, as also in Tests Nos. 2 and 4, the quantity of milk formed an important factor, as in
reaching the net result credit was given in the cheese test, not only for the cheese made, but also for the
solids contained in the whey ; and in the case of Tests Nos. 2 and 4, for the value of the butter, and also
for the value of the solids other than butter fat contained in the skimmed milk. In this particular, Tests
Nos. 1, 2 and 4 differed materially from Test No. 3, for in the lust nothing but the value of the butter
itself was credited, and the quantity of milk given by the cows was not a factor. Consultation with the
tables of Tests Nos. 1, 2 and 4 will demonstrate that the Jersey cows led in the quantity of milk in each
of these three tests, as well as in every other important factor that went to make up the net profit, except
increase in live weight.

FIVE DAYS PRELIMINARY TO TEST NO. 2.

An interval of five days elapsed between Test No. 1 (cheese) and Test No. «(90 days), during
which time there was no contest, but the feed of the cows in the test was as accurately weighed out as
during the cheese test, the same restrictions as to feeding maintained, the milk weighed, the samples
preserved under seal and sent to the laboratory, and an analysis made of the same for the purpose of

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 9

keeping an exact record of the quantity of milk given by the cows, and the composition of same. All
this was done under the direct supervision of the Testing Committee. The result is set out in the table
appended hereto, as without it no complete record could be given of the cows that remained in all three
tests. No churning was made of the milk during this time, but by taking the quantity of fat ascertained
in the milk and multiplying it by 125, we ascertain the quantity of butter that I have credited to the cows
as 80 per cent butter, being as approximately near the quantity of butter as can be ascertained, except by
the churn. It is but fair to state that this estimated butter, as credited to the cows, is slightly in excess
of what would be actually obtained from the churn, as there would bea loss in skimming the milk, as
also in the fat that would escape in the butter-milk in churning.

CHANGES IN FEED.

Some material changes were made in the character of the feed given to the Jersey cows in these
five days, because I appreciated that in the go days’ test about to be entered upon we had a long race,
one that was inevitably bound to test the merits of the cows, their staying qualities, their constitution,
and the patience and skili of the feeder; and while, to obtain immediate results in large quantities of
butter, it might have been advisable to have fed feed of a more nitrogenous character, what is generally
known as ‘‘rich feed,” it would inevitably have resulted later on in lessening the flow of milk of the cows
to a more appreciable extent than was the case with the feed given them, and would have tended to have
produced more sickness than was the case with the cows under my charge. I have no doubt that, in the
earlier part of this test, had I fed corn meal, pea meal, heavier of cotton-seed meal, and other food of a
like character, the cows could have produced a very much increased quantity of butter in the earlier days
of this test ; but my judgment was, and the results have confirmed it, that it would have been done at the
expense of a very material shrinkage towards the end of the test, as compared with that which we were
able to produce from the cows.

The herd entered upon this test in the early part of the summer, in reality the spring in Chicago ;
passed from that to the heat of summer; remained on dry floors and on practically dry feed; were beset
by hordes of flies, which the character of the soil, being dry sand, had a tendency to produce, and which
were augmented largely later on by the exhibits of live stock. They passed through the heat of summer,
with all the visitors that were constantly in to see them, and the other disturbing elements by which they
were surrounded and beset, and remained in the test till the beginning of fall, with all the climatic changes
for which Chicago is noted. They showed, nevertheless, but a small decrease to the herd, both in milk
and butter, being an average of 4.26 lbs. per head per day for milk for the last fifteen days of the ninety
days, as compared with the cheese test, including cows that had been sick. From the beginning of the
cheese test to the end of the go days’ test embraced 110 days. The shrinkage in butter per head per day
was 17/100 lb., judged by eight days of the last ten days of the go days’ test, as compared with the first
ten days of the same test. Two of the last ten days are omitted, as Little Goldie was ‘“‘ off the test.”
When the above facts are considered, I am satisfied the choice of feed given the cows, and the way it was
fed were judicious, and calculated to produce prolongation of flow of milk and maintenance in quantity
of butter. If corroboration of this were wanting, it would be found in the fact that the superintendents
of the other two herds largely followed in the wake of the Jersey system of feeding towards the latter end
of the test, and the superintendent of one of the breeds also adopted our system of wetting and dampen-
ing the feed with hot water, with very beneficial results to the production of his herd.

RES ENO ls 2 (NUNES DAYS):

This test was for ninety days, from May 31t to August 28, both inclusive. The herds competing
were 25 Jerseys, 25 Guernseys and 25 Short-Horns. By the rules, as amended, each of the breeds had a
sight, before the beginning of Test No. 1 (May 11), to nominate three cows as substitutes for Test No. 2,

IO THE JERSEY BERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

with the option of placing them in the latter test. Each breed nominated three, but only two Jerseys
were substituted, Islip Lenox for Tristeka, and Romp’s Princess for Pretty Marchioness, the former tak-
ing the place of No. 5 in the test, and the latter the place of No. 21. All the other cows retained the
same numbers in this test as in the previous one. The Guernseys substituted two cows, and the Short-
Horns three. No. 24 of the Short-Horns had not calved at the beginning of the test, but did so shortly
afterwards. She did not survive the ordeal, and died before giving any milk. Strictly by the rules, she
should have been charged for the balance of the time of the test with the average daily feed consumed by
her previous to her death, and credited with the value of her product given previous to her death ; but
inasmuch as she had given no product, it was manifestly unfair to charge her with her feed when she
would have no credit, and, by a unanimous vote of the Testing Committee, the feed which had been
charged up to her, according to the strict reading of the rules, was deducted from the total feed charged to
the Short-Horn herd. So that in reality the Short-Horn herd was not charged with the feed given this
cow, but they were under the misfortune of competing with 24 cows, as against 25 Jerseys and 25
Guernseys. In making any comparisons between the three herds, this fact must be borne in mind, and
in striking averages, in the case of the Short-Horns J have in every instance done it upon the basis of 24
cows of this herd to 25 of the Guernseys and 25 of the Jerseys.

The same precautions were taken in this as in former and other tests to insure accuracy in weighing
of the milk ; in regard to samples of milk sent for analysis ; in sending the milk to the dairy; in retaining
it there intact under seal until taken out in the presence of Prof. Babcock or Roberts ; in having the
cream separated from the milk ; and in preventing any feed being given to the cows except when weighed
out and fed in the presence of a representative of the Testing Committee.

SYSTEM OF WEIGHING AND SAMPLING MILK, WEIGHING AND FEEDING FEED.

It may not be out of place to explain this system. The Jersey cows were fed three times a day, at
half-past four in the morning, half-past ten or eleven A. M., and half-past four P.M. The feed to be
given the cows at the second morning, the afternoon and succeeding morning feedings was weighed out
for each cow in the presence of a representative of the Testing Committee. Her feed was placed in a bag
with her number, and put upon a hook in the wall of the feed-room in the Jersey barn corresponding to
her number in the herd. The representative weighing the feed then entered upon a form the quantity of
feed so weighed out to each cow, and, when completed, gave a carbon copy of such form to meas superin-
tendent. Upon examining same at the next meeting of the Testing Committee, generally the same day,
I certified to the correctness of it, and it was then ready to be placed upon the file as a matter of record.
As soon as the feed was weighed out we took the quantity of feed required for the half-past ten feeding,
placed it in an iron pail in the presence of a representative of the Testing Committee, and steamed it as
best we could by pouring hot water over it. When this was done the room was securely locked, containing,
as it did, the feed weighed out for the next twenty-four hours, part of which was in the pail steaming.
This room was then sealed by the representative of the Testing Committee. Before any cows could be
fed it was necessary to send for such representative, and he was present at each feeding, No food was
allowed to be brought into the barn except when a representative of the committee was present, and with his
full knowledge. There were guards on the barns day and aight, who were changed constantly, and who
were instructed by Chief Buchanan to report if any cow was given any feed at any time in the absence of
a member of the Testing Committee. Inadvertently this happened on more than one occasion in each
barn. The matter was reported promptly to the Testing Committee, who investigated, and, being satisfied
in each case that it was an accident and not done by design, a record was made of the fact in the minutes
of the committee, and the defaulting party excused. [Inasmuch as the east side of our barn was pretty
full of cattle not in the test, but being held there as a supplemental herd or on trial for some succeeding
test, at the instance of one of the competing breeds a wire screen was put up the full length of our barn,

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. II

under Chief Buchanan’s direction, for the purpose of preventing any possibility of any feed being
smuggled from one side of the barn to the other. I need hardly say that I heartily co-operated with Chief
Buchanan in this matter, realizing that when we were the winning breed, as was the case, it was desirable
to place beyond peradventure any criticism or claim that might thereafter be made that our cows were fed
any other feed than that which was weighed out tothem. It certainly did entail additional work, as there
was no access from one side of the barn to the other, nor at the north end, and only one door, facing the
Guernsey barn. While it had its annoyances in consequence, it had its compensations, as it demonstrated
it was not feed, but breed, that was to be credited with the victory that was then in sight. And it was
also gratifying that one of the best weeks we had in the history of the Jersey cows was within the next
couple of weeks after this screen was put up.

In this and every other test a representative of the Testing Committee was present at every milk-
ing, five A.M., twelve noon, and six P.M. Withvery rare exceptions, and only when called elsewhere by
business, I was present at each and every milking throughout the entire four tests, viz.: five A.M., twelve
noon, six P.M. Previous to beginning milking, the stalls were examined by such representative, and the
milking-pails weighed. Each cow was milked in the presence of this representative, and as each cow was
milked, the pail was immediately brought to the scale and weighed by the representative, checked by me,
the amount entered upon a form provided for the purpose to the credit of that cow, and a sample, being
an aliquot part or equal proportion, of each milking of each cow was taken. A set of jars was provided
by the Testing Committee for each herd, numbered to correspond with the number of each cow in the
herd, placed in a tin case, and as the sample of the milk from each cow was taken it was poured into the
proper jar, until a sample had been taken of every cow at that particular milking; and when a sample
had thus been obtained from each cow for 24 hours, these glass jars were taken to the laboratory and the
contents analyzed by a chemist, under the direction of the chief chemist, Prof. E. H. Farrington, of the
Illinois Experiment Station, as was also a sample of the mixed milk of each herd. When the analyses of
the milk had been completed in the laboratory, Prof. Farrington delivered to the superintendent of each
breed a carbon copy showing the analyses, and if the same were satisfactory to such superintendent, he
certified to same at the next meeting of the Testing Committee, and these records were then ready for
entry upon the books. Each sample was analyzed twice by two different chemists. The work was most
satisfactory, and but rarely was there occasion to have another analysis made.

When each milking was complete, the tin holding these jars was securely sealed, and was immedi-
ately taken to the laboratory and retained there until the next milking, when the seal was examined by
the representative of the breed, to ascertain that there had been no tampering with it. When the repre-
sentative of the Testing Committee had made a record of the 24 hours’ milkings, he delivered to the
superintendent of each breed a carbon copy of the result of such milkings, signed by him on behalf of the
committee.

When the cows were all milked, the large cans containing the mixed milk were then sealed by the
representative of the Testing Committee, in the presence of each superintendent, and were carried to the
dairy, where they were placed in a room under seal, and so retained until the seal was broken by Prof.
Babcock or some person authorized by the committee, with the intent of having the cream separated from’
the milk, and the same made into butter. The cream was retained also in a room under seal, while it was
being cooled preparatory to being made into butter. A sample of the butter-milk and of the skimmed
milk was taken each day for analysis, as a check uponthe churn. When the butter was made, such butter
was retained in a refrigerator room until scored by expert judges appointed by Chief Buchanan. Thi
was done every week, and there were times when part of the butter had been made for a week before
being scored. e

A sample of the butter was taken each day, and an analysis made of it for the purpose of determ-
ining the amount of fat, water, ash and casein contained therein ; and inasmuch as the butter was all to be

re, THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

upon a basis of 80 per cent. of fat, for the purpose of uniformity the quantity of butter actually made by the
churn was increased or decreased according to the quantity of fat shown in such analysis of the butter,
The three experts who scored the butter made Separate scorings, without consultation one with the other,

' the scale of points being as set out in the rules, and the price of butter was regulated as provided for by
the rules, according to the average score of the three experts. When these scores were made they were
transmitted to Chief Buchanan, who, after examining them, removed the names of the scorers and re-
turned the scores to the Testing Committee, who then ascertained the average score of the three experts
and made record thereof. The butter so to be scored was without mark of identification. No super-
intendent nor any member of the Testing Committee had access to, or could identify, the scoring done by
any of the expert judges,

It will be noticed that all three breeds in this test used coloring-matter up to the time that the clover
hay began to affect the milk in color, After that, neither the Jerseys nor the Guernseys used any butter-
color, both stopping at the same time. And it is a matter of fact that while the two breeds were fed green
clover hay, and neither used any butter-color, it was an impossibility to distinguish the butter of either
breed by the color. At times that of the Jerseys would have a higher coior than that of the Guernseys,
and at times the reverse. Upon green feed, while the Guernsey milk will appear more yellow to the

“eye, the golden hue of the Jersey butter equals that of the Guernsey.

MILK IN NINETY DAYS’ TEST,

The average milk per Jersey cow per day for the first seven days of the test was 36 3/5 lbs. The
average daily milking for all Jersey cows throughout the entire test, including sick ones, was 33.08 lbs.
The average length of time each Jersey had been in milk at the end of the test was 154 days. The total
quantity of milk given by the Jerseys in this test was 73488.8 lbs. The Jersey herd exceeded the
Guernseys in milk by 11707.1 Ibs., and the Short-Horns by 7225.6 lbs.

BUTTER.

The butter given by the Jerseys in the go days was 4274.01 Ibs., being an average of 170.96 lbs. per
cow. It exceeded that given by the Guernseys by 913.57 lbs., and the Short-Horns by 1383.14 ]bs. Al-
lowing for the days some of the cows were ‘‘ off the test,” the average daily production of butter per head
for the Jerseys was 1.92 lbs.

SOLIDS NOT FAT,

The quantity of solids not fat given by the Jerseys was 6465.049 Ibs., and exceeded that of the
Guernseys by 963.61 lbs., and that of the Short-Horns by 714.22 lbs.

VALUES.

The value of the butter was $1 747-372; of solids not fat, $129. 299; of increase in live weight, $34.920;
making a total of $1911.591; as against which the cost of feed was $587.498, leaving a net profit of $1324.093,
less $0.281, the cost of butter-color used in the early part of the test, which leaves a net profit of $1323.812.
The value of the butter of the Jerseys exceeded that of the Guernseys by $391.91, and that of the Short-
Horns by $575.60. The value of all the products, except increase in live weight, after deducting cost
of feed, gave the Jerseys an excess in profit of $307.65 over the Guernseys, and $504.17 over the Short-
Horns. When the value of increase in live weight is added, at 414 cents per pound, the net profit of the
Jerseys is $326.17 over the Guernseys, and $413.69 over the Short-Horns ; or $3.62 net profit per day
per herd, or $0.14;4; per day per cow, over the Guernseys, and $4.60 per day per herd, or $0.19} per day
per cow, over the Short-Horns (on the basis of 24 cows for the latter).

The net profit for the go days per cow was as follows: Jerseys, $52 95; Guernseys, $39.91; Short-
Horns, $37.92 (24 head}

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 13

The milk required to make one pound of butter was: Jerseys, 17.2 lbs.; Guernseys, 18.4 lbs.;
Short-Horns, 22.9 lbs. The cost of feed per pound of butter was as follows: Jerseys, $0.13,°5; Guernseys,
$0.14;5 ; Short-Horns, $0.17;5;5.

Analyzing the results per individual cows, the highest net profit per day for any Short-Horn cow
was 58 cents, which was exceeded by twelve Jerseys. The highest Guernsey was 64 cents, which was
exceeded by eight Jerseys, as follows :

Brown Bessie_-81 cents per day. | Sheba Rex_----- 68 cents per day. | Islip Lenox __-_-- 65 cents per day.
Merry Maiden_71 ‘‘ + Hugo’sCountess_67 ‘‘ of Romp’s Princess-65 “ oy
Ida Marigold_-71 “ ae Baroness Argyle-66 ‘‘ es

Or, putting it still another way, the following table gives the average net profit per cow per day,
leaving out the fractions of cents, and it shows there were eight Jerseys with 65c. net profit per day or
over, and no Guernseys or Short-Horns ; twenty-one Jerseys which made a net profit of over soc. per day,
with six Guernseys and six Short-Horns ; that, with the exception of one Jersey that was sick the greater
part of the test, all the Jerseys show a daily net profit of 43c. or over, to twelve Guernseys and eleven
Short-Horns, or more than the Guernseys and Short-Horns combined:

* Was sick.

This table shows that the Jerseys secured not only the first five places, but the first eight, and that
they had eighteen places out of the first twenty-five, to the seven places of the other two breeds com-
bined.

This 90 days’ test was the most important of all the tests, as it embraced milk (through the solids other
than butter fat), butter, and increase in live weight ; and its length was such as was calculated more than
any other test to demonstrate the staying qualities of the cows and the breeds on dry feed, throughout
the vicissitudes of the season, the swarms of flies and numerous visitors, and the other disturbing ele-
ments to which the cows were subjected by their environment. The figures tell their own story, and in
most unmistakable terms the Jersey has proved herself in this greatest of all tescs infinitely superior to ali
other cows.

SICK COWS.

Sections g and Io of the rules provide as to the dropping of cows from the test in case of illness, and
how their product shall be dealt with while they are off the test. Amnice Magnet, No. 16, was taken sick
and declared off the test on the 18th of June. At that time she was averaging in milk about 31 to 32 lbs.
a day, and shrank to r 1b. aday. She was suffering from impaction, and was a very sick cow, and at first

THE JERSEY HERDS AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 15

it was a question whether she would recover or not. She was reinstated on the 8th of July, although she
had not recovered her health nor flow of milk, giving but 13.3 lbs. at that time, and on the last day of
July but 23.5 lbs., and never again gave higher than 24.3 lbs., and that but for one day. I protested to
Chief Buchanan against this action, but it was over-ruled, the principle being laid down that when a cow
was giving normal milk she was to be reinstated, regardless of whether her permanent future health or
usefulness as a breeder would be affected thereby, or without regard to what butter or other product she
was giving at the time of reinstatement, or how it compared with her previous production. Annice Mag-
net had been doing very well up to the time she was taken sick, often making 2 lbs. of butter per day ;
but, naturally, after so severe an illness, and being a young cow, she did not keep up her record, and con-
sequently is low in point of merit for a Jersey in this test. For the first ten days she was off the test she
got no credit, but for the balance of the time until she was reinstated she received credit by ‘‘ averag-
ing,’’ as provided in the rules.

Merry Maiden, No. 20, was attacked by impaction on the 20th of June, and dropped from 36 lbs., on
the 19th of June, to 13.6 onthe 21st. She was not declared off the test, and gradually recovered her flow,
but never reached her old mark. That she was able to finish second in this test under such circumstances
stamps her as aremarkable cow. At the time she was taken sick she led in butter all the 75 cows com-
peting. Her feed was cut down, and was not fully restored for nearly a month and a half thereafter.

Gay Orphan, No. g, had an attack of impaction on the r2th of July, dropping from 29.1 Ibs., on the
11th of July, to 1.3 lbs. on the 15th, when she was declared off the test. She was reinstated on the 22d
of July, giving at that time 18.1 lbs. of milk, and gradually returned to her full flow.

Owing toa very sudden fall in the temperature, being 4o degrees in 12 hours, Alteration, No. 7,
took a congestive chill on August 6, followed by impaction of the rumen, from which she never recovered,
and died on August 12. She was one of the best cows in the entire test, and stood fifth among the 75 com-
peting cows at that time. Her death was a great loss, not only to her owner, Mr. C. I. Hood, but to the
Jersey interest generally.

Little Goldie, No. 6, was stricken with a like disease on August 27, and, though she lived through the
test, expired on the 3d of September. She stood eighth in the test, and at the time of her sickness was
doing splendid work, and her loss was a severe one to the Jerseys. Mr. Hood, unfortunately, was also
her owner. Hereto is appended the report of the veterinary surgeon as to the sickness and death of both
of these cows. Alteration was the only cow of the Jersey herd that died in the test. The Short-Horns
lost one cow and the Guernseys two that were in the test. Each one of these cows was stricken without
the slightest warning, nor was it peculiar to the Jersey herd alone. I would call particular attention to the
report of Dr. Hughes, V.S., as to the condition the post-mortem showed Little Goldie to be in, as it tends
to show that, notwithstanding the long strain of continuous dry feeding she had undergone, and the length
of time she had been retained in the stable upon a dry floor, the character of the feed had been such that
she had not been ‘‘ burnt out,” as might naturally have been expected. When Little Goldie was stricken
down with impaction I urged Dr. Hughes in the strongest terms of which I was capable to open up the
first stomach and take out the contents of that and the second stomach, as in my judgment the only means
that would relieve her. He differed from me, thinking he could relieve her by medicine. Past experience
in this and in the Guernsey barn in like cases had taught me that, by the time the medicine had had time
to act upon the contents of the stomach to dislodge them, while the contents of the stomach might be dis-
solved by the medicine, the power to discharge it would be lacking. The post-mortem of Little Goldie
demonstrated this fact, and I think Dr. Hughes was convinced later that my grounds were well taken. I
mention this for the guidance of any who may be unfortunate enough to have cows that have been under
-ontinuous feed for any length of time stricken with a similar disease. In my judgment no possible injury
can occur to the cow by making an incision in the first stomach sufficient to take out the contents of that
and the second stomach, and sewing it up.

16 THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

CHICAGO VETERINARY COLLEGE,
2537 AND 2539 STATE STREET,

CuicaGo, September 25, 1893.
Vacancey E. Futter, Esq.,
Supt. American Jersey Cattle Club,
World's Columbian Exposition;

Dear Sir: I have the honor to submit my report relative to attendance on cows Alteration and Little Goldie, both of which
died as a result of impaction of the rumen.

On Aug. 6, at your request, I visited the Exposition Grounds and examined the cow Alteration. I found the cow unable to
rise and suffering from inflammation of the udder, the bowels markedly constipated and the rumen impacted with food, and at the
same time showing abdominal pain. Dr. McMahon, veterinarian to the Fair, arrived at this time and also examined the animal.
You informed us that you already had given the cow a full dose of physic the night previous, and that on the,same morning you
had given still more. We decided that this treatment was perfectly proper, and recommended that small doses of Epsom salts,
combined with carminatives and stomachics, be given at intervals of four hours, so as to keep up the action of the purgatives and
prevent the accumulation of gas. We also directed the application of hot cloths to the udder and frequent rectal injections. On
the following day, Aug. 7, Dr. McMahon telephoned me, requesting that I should take full charge of the case. I found, on
arrival, the cow somewhat improved; the physic had slightly operated, the contents of the rumen were still hard, and the griping
was not sosevere. The cow was still unable torise. On Aug. 8 and g a slight gradual improvement was noticeable. The mam-
mary gland became softer, at times free purgation set in, yet the mass in the rumen still continued to remain. Stimulants were
tried during those days to keep up the vitality, and, if possible, cause a return of the appetite, but the animal would not eat
anything.

On the night of the oth, andon Thursday, Aug. 10, the weather became extremely warm, more especially on Thursday, when
the heat was oppressive. The cow sank rapidly, but seemed again more bright on Friday, Aug. 11, when it became more cool.
The vitality of the cow was, however, exceedingly low on this date, as she had not eaten anything since the attack set in, except
some milk, eggs or oatmeal gruel with which she was drenched. On Saturday, Aug. 12, the cow died, and you telephoned me as to
whether I desired to hold a fost-nzortewe on her, but I said I did not, as the cause of death was so apparent.

Early on the morning of Sunday, Aug. 27, you came after me, requesting me to accompany you to see the Jersey cow Little
Goldie. I immediately did so, and found her paralyzed in the hind extremities, suffering considerable abdominal pain. A marked
stupor was also evident, showing considerable derangement of the brain. I immediately gave an active cathartic, and recom-
mended treatment tending to allay the spasms, which were at intervals very pronounced. I saw the cow again the same evening,
when there was no change apparent further than that the pains were relieved. On Aug. 28 I again saw the cow, and at that time a
profound coma had set in, the animal lying in the most listless manner possible, with glazed eyes and stertorous breathing. The
physic given on the previous day had slightly operated, but the hardened condition of the mass of food within the rumen still
remained unchanged. Recommended ice to base of brain and stimulants. On the 29th the coma passed off, the cow raised her
head and drank some, but would not eat any. The pulse was small and quick. Another full dose of physic was again given, and
the stimulants continued. On the 30th and 31st August, and on the ist and 2d of September, no very marked change was appar-
ent in the cow’s condition, she seeming to remain comfortable, drinking a little, but refusing food of any kind. During these days
a little gruel and milk was given her by bottle. A great mass of hardened food could still be detected in the rumen. On Sep. 2a
full dose of physic was again given, and on my visiting the cow the following day, Sep. 3, the stupor which had affected her the
previous Monday had returned, and from this she did not recover during the same evening.

On Monday, Sep. 4, I held an autopsy on the cow. The stomach contained a large quantity of food, which, from the action
of the last physic, was softened. ‘The walls of the organ were healthy. The bowels showed patches of congestion and inflamma-
tion, apparently very recent, and seemingly caused by pressure, owing to the continuous constrained position in which the cow lay,
The remaining organs were evidently healthy, showing nothing but the usual Jost szortent congestive appearances. The cause of
death of these two cows is to be sought for in the food of which they partook, the purposes to which they had been put, and the
environments in which they had been placed. .

I need not allude at length to any of these particular causes further than to say that, in cattle fed continuously all they
can eat of highly-stimulating and dry food for seven or eight months, permitted no exercise, and at the same time with their milking
capabilities developed and drawn upon to their fullest extent, it is not possible to keep up the continuous tension indefinitely with-
out something going wrong. Naturally, the apparatus most taxed is the mammary and digestive, the latter more particularly, and
should rumination once suspend, after a cow’s rumen is filled with food, the most serious of consequences may result. The food in
such a case, instead of being remasticated and passed along into the third and fourth stomachs, ferments and decomposes, and even
when the most powerful physic is resorted to several days or even weeks pass by before the first stomach is completely cleared of its
sour contents. During this time there is complete loss of appetite, and the system becomes so weakened, more especially in
nervous animals, that the vital powers fail before the result attempted is accomplished. This has been the course taken by the
disease in the two cows alluded to, with the additional unfavorable symptom of paralysis present. But for the presence of this last
symptom, I would have removed the contents by surgical operation, but I considered the paralysis as much the cause as the result
of the disease.

I cannot conclude this report without making allusion to your untiring zeal in the nursing and general care of the animals in
your charge. I have seen interested and patient nurses, but never before have I had to do with cases that received the same atten-
tion as that given by you to the cases reported upon.

Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH HUGHES, V.S.

TEST NO. 3—(THIRTY DAYS, BUTTER).

From Aug. 29 to Sept. 27, inclusive. Number of cows in test, 15 Jerseys, 15 Guernseys and 15
-Short-Horns. It will be seen by the rules that it is provided that this test shall be confined to such breeds
as have competed in Testis Nos. 1 and 2, each of which shall furnish 25 cows for same. The latter por-
tion of the rule was amended, by which the number of cows of each breed was fixed at 15, in place of 25.
This was done at the instance of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, who represented that, unless they
were allowed to reduce the number to 15, they would not be able to compete; and they based their re-
quest upon the grounds of economy, and also owing to the fact that they had met with misfortunes in the
cows that had been selected for this test, in the burning of the barns of the owner, Hon. Levi P. Morton,
which contained at the time three cows selected for the test. Owing to such representations and request,
the rules were amended by Chief Buchanan, by which all breeds were allowed to compete with 15 cows

each.

By the rules, the superintendent of each breed was allowed to substitute one or more or all the
cows in this test, by giving specified notice shortly before the beginning of the test. I think it is to
be regretted that, when the Guernseys were granted their request to reduce the number of cows to 15,
they were not compelled to be limited to such cows as had been in Tests Nos. 1 or 2; because it is notice-
able that they substituted in this test five new cows, to four of the Short-Horns and inree of the Jerseys,
so that one-third of their total herd was composed of fresher cows.

This test differed from any other test in that butter alone was the only product credited. No value
was allowed for increase in live weight, nor did the quantity of milk play any part, as no credit was given
for solids other than butter fat ; but butter, pure and simple, was the object sought, from which was de-
ducted the cost of feed and color. For the sake of keeping complete records of the cows, but for no other
reason, the increase in live weight was reported, also the quantity of milk given by the cows and herds,
and solids other than butter fat, but none of these things were considered in making the award.

In this test the Jerseys labored under the disadvantage of having but three substituted cows, one of
which had been over five months in milk, to five substituted cows of the Guernseys and four of the Short-
Horns. In the early part of the test Hugo’s Countess, No. 14, met with an accident, and followed as it
was by the caking of a quarter of the udder, it acted prejudicially to her health, and necessitated the cut-
ting down of her feed, whereby the product was materially impaired. That she suffered in health is shown
by the fact that in the thirty days of the test she lost 120 lbs. in weight. The second day of the test
Romp’s Princess, No. 15, took cold in the show-ring, and never thoroughly recovered from the effect of
the same. Islip Lenox, No. 2 in the test, also contracted a cold in the early part of the test, and suffered
the ill-effects of it through the balance of the test. Out of the 74 cows competing in the go dave: test, these
three cows stood 5th, 8th, and 7th respectively.

Notwithstanding all these disadvantages, the Jersey herd was again victorious in every respect, as
will be seen by the tables. In comparing the relative merits of the cows in the herds, the only items to be
considered are the pounds of fat as ascertained by the oil test, the quantity of butter, the value of same, the
cost of feed, and the net profit.

The same precautions as formerly were taken to insure accuracy in feeding, milking and analyzing
the milk, in the retention of the milk until creamed, the retention of the cream until made into butter, and
the storage of the butter until scored.

The butter was scored by the same scale of points as in Tests Nos. 1 and 2, but achange was made
in the value of same—that scoring go points, 4oc.; g5 points, 45c.; 100 points, 50c.; and one cent per pound
was added to these figures for every point scored above those named. For instance, under the old rule,
butter scoring 90 points was credited at 4oc.a pound. Anything between go and 95 points was still at 4oc. a
pound; from 9s to 100 points, at 45c. a pound. Under the amended rule, if the average score of the three
experts was, say, 92 points, the butter was credited at 42c.; 93 points, at 43c.; 96 points, at 46c. and so on.

As in Test No. 2, the churn governed ; and the quantity of butter credited to each cow was dis-
tributed from the actual work of the churn and the analysis of the butter, so that when the quantity of
butter credited to the whole herd was ascertained, on the basis of 80 per cent. fat, it was distributed ratably
among the cows, according to the quantity of butter fat to their credit, as provided for in the rules. I par-
ticularly mention this because it has been conceived by many that the quantity of butter credited to each
cow was that ascertained by-the oil test and that the oil test governed the churn, whereas, as will be seen
from the above, the reverse is the case.

BUTTER.

The quantity of butter given by the Jerseys in the 30 days was 837.211 Ibs., which exceeded that of
the Guernseys by 113.041 lbs., and that of the Short-Horns by 174.551 lbs. The value of the butter of the
Jersey herd was $385.592, being $55.82 in excess of that of the Guernseys. and $81.91 in excess of that of
the Short-Horns.

The net profit of the Jerseys, after deducting cost of feed, exceeded that of the Guernseys by $37.125
(equal to anet profit per herd per day of $1.24, or 8;4;c. per head per day), and that of the Short-Horns by
$75.236, or $2.51 per herd per day, or 1611c. per head per day.

The cost of feed of the Jerseys for the 30 days exceeded that of the Guernseys by $18.477, but it
produced value in butter of $37.125 over the Guernseys, or over 200 per cent. net profit, although the cost
per pound of butter in feed was slightly less in the Guernseys.

COST OF BUTTER.

The cost per pound of butter in feed was : Jerseys, 137)5¢.; Guernseys, 127 9¢.; Short-Horns, I5750¢:
Appended is a list of the cows composing the Jersey and Guernsey herds in this test, giving the dates
when they last calved; and such cows as were substituted for this test are in each herd marked with
an asterisk. The slight excess cost in the Jerseys over the Guernseys of producing a pound of butter is
accounted for by the fact, as will be seen by the table, that the Guernseys had a number of fresher cows
than the Jerseys. These are among the substituted cows. It is well known that cows that are fresh will
produce butter at a less cost per pound than cows that have been on dry feed and in milk for the length of
time that were those composing the Jersey herd. It was clearly demonstrated by the go days’ test that the
Jerseys could produce butter at a cheaper rate than could Guernseys, and the respective ability of the two
breeds was not changed in that short length of time, but the Guernseys had the good fortune of possessing
fresher cows, and the Jerseys had not.

* But goo lbs. were furnished, as a trial prior to being furnished with cured clover hay of the crop of 1893.

* One substituted cow.

It shows that every Jersey made a net profit of 50 cents a day or over, and from that up to 82 cents,
as against nine Guernseys at 50 cents and over and three Short-Horns, or three more than the other two
breeds combined ; that of the nine Guernsey cows which made 50 cents or over, five were substituted or
fresher cows, and of the three Short-Horns two were substituted cows, to three substituted cows in the
entire Jersey herd. The superiority of the Jersey is, however, shown most strongly in the average net
profit per cow per day, which is: Jerseys, 60;4%,c.; Guernseys, 52355c.; Short-Horns, 44;°;;,¢.

TEST NO. 4—HEIFER TEST.

Period, 21 days, from Sept. 30 to October 20, inclusive. Number of heifers in test: Jerseys, 7;
Short-Horns, 6; Guernseys, none.

The original rules provided that this test should be for a pera of 30 days, and that the value of the
product should be ascertained and the awards made on exactly the same basis as in Test No. 2, the g¢

, THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 21

days’ test. It was optional with any breed that had participated in Tests Nos. 1, 2 and 3 to enter this test.
The Guernseys decided not to enter any heifers. ;

The rules were amended by Chief Buchanan on the ground of economy (the tests having cost the
World’s Columbian Exposition up to that time over $70,000), by which the length of the test was curtailed
to 21 days. The churning in the dairy was dispensed with ; the fat was ascertained by the Babcock oil
test, in the laboratory, under the immediate supervision of Prof. Farrington, and the butter was estimated
therefrom, ona basis of 80 per cent. oil in the butter, and the solids other than butter fat were ascer-
tained by analysis of the whole milk. The same values of feed ruled as in Test No. 3, and like precau-
tions were taken as in former tests‘to prevent any feed being improperly given to the heifers. Thesame
precautions as in the past were taken to insure accuracy in weighing the milk, in sampling the same, and
in retaining samples of milk under seal until analyzed. As there was no butter to score, all the estimated
butter was credited at the fixed price of 40 cents per pound, and the solids, other than butter fat, at the
rate of $2.00 per hundred pounds.

The heifers were to be less than three years old on Sept. 1, 1893, and each breed was limited to not
less than five head, nor could they enter more than ten.

None of the Jersey heifers calved at the barns in this case, and, with the exception of Campania,
No. 2 in the test, none of them had been especially prepared for the same.

Appended to this report is a table giving the weights of the Jerseys for the first five and the last five
days of the test, the gain in live weight, and the value of such gain at the rate of 41g cents per
pound ; also the like information for the Short-Horns. The Short-Horns made the unprecedented
average gain of three pounds per head per day, equal in value to 1314 cents per day, the total value of the
Short-Horn gain in weight being $2.88 per head, to $0.964 of the Jerseys ; so that the Jersey heifers had
each to make, practically out of butter, nearly nine cents a day to equal the increase in live weight of
the Short-Horns, and where the quantity of product, owing to the immaturity of the animals, is much less
than in the case of mature cows. This was no small task to accomplish; but, as will be seen hereafter,
the Jerseys again led in e-sry respect, except in increase in live weight.

There were seven Jerseys in this test, and but six Short-Horns, so that in making any comparison it
is necessary to take the averages per head for the purpose.

MILK.

The Jerseys averaged 479.5 lbs. milk per head, to 430.1 lbs. of the Short-Horns. The daily
average per head of the Jerseys was 22.83 lbs. Five of the Jerseys averaged 24.48 lbs. per head per day.

FAT IN MILK.
The quantity of fat in the milk of the Jerseys gave an average of 22.19 Ibs. and that of the Short-
Horns 16.31 lbs.
BUTTER,

The Jerseys gave of estimated butter 27.75 lbs. per head, and the Short-Horns 20.39 Ibs. The daily
average production ’per head of the Jerseys was 1.32 lbs., and of the Short-Horns 0.97 lbs. The Jersey,
Lily Garfield, barely two years old, averaged over 134 lbs. per day, and one day made 1.98 lbs.

VALUES.

The value of the butter and solids not fat of the Jerseys gave an average of value per head to the
Jerseys of $11.098, to $8.158 for the Short-Horns, or a daily average per head to the Jerseys of 52 cents,
and to the Short-Horns of 38 cents, without taking into consideration increase in live weight. When the
cost of feed is deducted it gives an average net profit to the Jerseys per head of $7.075, and to the Short-
Horns of $5.023, or a daily average per head to the Jerseys cf $0.337, and to the Short-Horns of
$0,239. But when the value of increase in live weight at 41g cents per pound is added, the Short-

Horns show their true breed characteristic, and cut down this profit, so that in the final summing up
the average net profit per head of the Jerseys is $8.039, and of the Short Horns $7.903.

The object of this test was to show the profitable production which young cows can give, and
certainly in this instance that object was attained.

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 23

HIGH CHARACTER AND IMPARTIALITY OF TESTS.

It will thus beseen, from acareful perusal of the facts above enumerated, and especially the figures
(which are official, which are beyond peradventure, and which will be quoted for years tocome as those of
the greatest tests that the world has ever seen), that the Jersey has proved, beyond cavil or doubt, her su-
periority in all these tests—tests which were more prolonged, covered more ground, settled more points in
dairying, handling of cattle, feeding, and the relative merits of the breeds, than has ever been done in the
past. To myself, it is a matter of great gratification that the Jerseys have proved that the claims that have
been made by those who had confidence in them were well founded, and that they were, as we havealways
claimed them to be, the greatest and most economical producers, both at the churn and the cheese-vat.
This was a fair test, under strict rules, supervised by experts of national reputation in the dairy world, of
unquestioned probity, of well-known ability and experience, such men as Prof. S. M. Babcock of the Wis-
consin Experiment Station, I. P. Roberts of Cornell University, H. P. Armsby of the State College of
Pennsylvania, and Prof. M. A. Scovell of Kentucky Experiment Station, chairman of the Testing Com-
mittee. The fact that these gentlemen gave an active and personal supervision to this matter is sufficient
to warrant the confidence that has everywhere been inspired as to the high character and accuracy of the
work that would be and was performed.

THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION PART.

But few have any idea of the magnitude of these tests. The World's Columbian Exposition expended
the enormous sum of $73,096.42 net, in conducting these tests and making preparations for same. They
established a store-house for all the feed to be fed the cows in the tests, as well as for those not in the tests.
They had a purchasing agent for the purpose of buying such feed as was required, a set of men to cut up
hay and attend to the proper distribution of this feed, and each barn was charged, merely as a check, with
the feed taken out by them.

I desire to say that none of the difficulties we had to contend with in the absence of cured clover in
the spring, and later green clover or fodder, can be properly laid to the door of the Exposition authorities,
as Chief Buchanan and those he represented did everything in their power to overcome the obstacles and
disadvantages of a test conducted in a city, and in the World’s Fair grounds, distant as it was from any
market that could provide green fodder. They spared no expense in their efforts to meet the demands of
the case, even sending their fodder agent into different States convenient to Chicago, for the purpose of
endeavoring to procure a supply of green fodder continuously. The best, and in fact the only, arrange-
ments they could make to have green clover shipped to us were in Wisconsin. This was at a point one
hundred miles distant from Chicago. To insure the arrival of the clover at the Exposition grounds in the
best condition possible, special arrangements were made withthe railroads. Large refrigerator cars, simi-
lar to those used for shipping dressed meat, were sent to the point of shipment ; the clover was cut in the
morning, loaded on the afternoon of the same day, the car attached to a passenger train and brought to
the city, and specially switched into the Exposition grounds, where an engine was always standing ready
to switch it to the dairy barns, where it was at once unloaded rapidly and spread upon the floor. Both
open and tight cars were used in transit. Experiments were made by storing it at the dairy barns in tight
box-stalls and spreading it on the floor with straw asa layer. Notwithstanding all these efforts and the
expense incident to such methods, it was not a success as a feed, as it sweated in transit, notwithstanding
all precautions, and when exposed to the atmosphere wilted rapidly and became black.

SILAGE.

Chief Buchanan had two large silos filled with 400 tons of silage. The spring of the year in which the
corn was planted was wet and late. In consequence, when it had to becut to avoid frost, it was too green.
It had to be transported on cars a ccnsiderable distance, was delayed ex voute, and was soaked with rain.

24 THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

Under these circumstances, production of a good class of silage could not be looked for, and in conse-
quence it was of very little value to us as a feed.

BARNS.

The Exposition provided most comfortable barns, six in number, as that represented the number of
breeds that they finally expected to compete in the tests. The Jersey barn was two stories high, 120 ft. in
length and 50 ft. in width. The building was plastered on the outside. The first floor was ceiled, both
walls and ceiling, with tongued-and-grooved planed pine. The cows stood tail to tail, with an alley 20 ft.
in width between them, on platforms raised nine inches. A gutter ran the full length of the stable (with an
incline to carry off liquid manure), which was coated with a hard “‘pitch.’’ There were no partitions be-
tween the cows, back of the mangers. There were five box-stalls for calving cows, but they proved inade-
quate, and subsequently one of the other barns, which was not in use, was changed into a calving barn,
where many of the cows calved ; but it was required for the laboratory and offices of the Testing Committee
at a later date, so we were obliged to vacate same early in April. In the latter barn were also stables for
keeping calves. The box-stalls as erected in the barn proper were too small, and we lost two calves by
cows lying on them, owing to the cramped space. In the centre of the alley running the length of the
barn between the cows was placed a tank, forthe purpose of feeding the Buckley water-troughs with water,
by which each cow was given all the water she required.

In the Jersey barn two chimneys had been built, so that we were able to keep the temperature com-
fortable for the cows through the winter. This was necessary, as many of the cows came from Southern
States. ;

From the time of the beginning of the tests the World’s Columbian Exposition provided the feed

_Up to that time each breed provided its own feed. The feed so furnished included that of any cows that
were not in the tests, and also the feed for such calves as remained after the tests began.

The feed was put in boxes and placed upon the floor in front of the cows, and, when the test began,
boxes were piaced in front of the feed-troughs, with partitions between the cows, to prevent one from steal-
ing from the other. Directly against the wall, in front of the cows, were’ placed feed-bins, to hold feed
during the test, with locks and keys ; but this was believed to place too much liberty in the hands of the
superintendents of the breeds, and all the feed, except such as was locked up in the ceiled room before re-
ferred to, was kept in a barn especially for that purpose, presided over by a forage agent, with employees
in the pay and directly under the control of the World’s Columbian Exposition.

Large, double drive-doors were placed at each end of the barns, and side-doors to get into the space
in front of the cows. An office was provided upstairs, also sleeping accommodations for all the employees.
These rooms were very comfortable, and were constructed in the loft, which was large and spacious, the
floor of which was laid with planed pine. Chief Buchanan did everything in his power to make every
person conducting these tests as comfortable as circumstances would permit. It was his earnest wish that
the cows should have as fair a chance as was possible under the surrounding conditions, and no money nor
pains were spared to attain that end.

VISITORS.

Visitors to barns were admitted only upon the authority of the superintendent of each barn. Admis-
sion to our barn was obtained by passes issued to every member of the A. J. C. Club, and to such other Jersey
breeders as applied by letter to me or to Mr. D. H. Jenkins, the secretary of the commiitee, and wherever
any Jersey breeder was known to be such, admittance was never refused him. The number of people ap-
plying, however, daily ran into hundreds, and often thousands ; and it must have occurred that admission
was inadvertently refused to Jersey breeders who should have been admitted, owing to the guards refus-
ing same, or to the fact that, owing to other duties, it was not always possible to investigate as to whether
those seeking admission were breeders or not; and as the majority of applicants, at times over 1,000 a

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 25

day, claimed to be Jersey breeders, it was necessary to investigate to ascertain the accuracy of such as-
sertions.

LABORATORY AND OFFICES.

The laboratory and offices of the Testing Committee were fitted up very comfortably. There wasa
large room in which all the analyzing of the milk was done, as also the running of the Babcock oil tests,
of which there were several, and every appliance necessary for that purpose was provided. An adjacent
room, with all necessary appliances, was fitted up for the analyzing of the butter. This work was under the
immediate direction of Prof. E. H. Farrington, with competent assistants, principally students from the
agricultural colleges and experiment stations. Of these there were generally three or four at work.

A large and comfortable room was provided for the daily meetings of the Testing Committee, and an
adjacent one for the accountants who kept the books and records, of whom there were generally four em-
ployed. The balance of the building was devoted, one room for washing up the pails and dairy utensils,
and the other portions fitted up into rooms for the sleeping accommodations of the representatives of the
committee who supervised the weighing of the milk at milkings, and the feeding of the cows. Janitors
were provided by the Exposition, both for the barns and for the laboratory and offices.

The office work was under the immediate supervision of Prof. Scovell as chairman, who was there
nearly all the time, and Prof. Armsby at such times as he was there, but, owing to sickness in his family,
the latter was not present as much of the time as I know he desired to be. Alli four representatives of the
agricultural colleges and experiment stations assisted each other in this work, especially in all-proof-read-
ing, calculations and computations, ;

DAIRY.

Dr. Babcock took charge of this work nearly the whole period of the tests. In his absence Prof
Roberts took his place. A head cheese-maker and two assistants were employed during the fifteen days
of the cheese test, also janitors. During the 90 and 30 days’ tests a head butter-maker, with two assistants,
and janitors were employed. Mr. W. H. Gilbert was the superintendent of the dairy, but the work was
left largely to the Testing Committee. The dairy and facilities in same were not such as tended to produce
good butter. The temperature of the room was altogether too high, and no adequate means of cooling the
same were provided. But itgave to the Jersey breed an opportunity of showing its characteristic in its
cream, inasmuch as, under these disadvantageous circumstances, the scoring of the butter shows that its
solidity was very marked. As I have before remarked, the facilities for the retention of the cream, as
such, and the butter after it was made, did not do justice to any of the breeds, and especially to a delicately-
flavored butter, such as that of the Jersey. I know that an effort was made to remedy the excessive glare
which caused the heat by stretching gauze across the building, to prevent the rays of the sun having such
direct effect, but it was not successful.

QUALIFICATION OF COWS FOR TESTS.

I stated in my former report that in my judgment cows should be of a placid disposition, and I think
it is too apparent to need any argument. ‘That the cows of the Jersey herd possessed quiet dispositions,
and the characteristic of adapting themselves to their surroundings as far as possible, was, I think, appar-
ent to every person visiting the barns during the tests.

I also stated that I preferred cows from five to nine years of age. There were cows chosen for the
tests exceeding the latter age, but, as the summer wore on, under the strain to which each cow in every
barn was subjected, it was more and more apparent that, had they been younger, they would have with-
stood their disadvantages better, and would have done better in the tests.

In my judgment it was essentially necessary that the cows should be deep milkers. I conceived that,
under the disadvantageous circumstances that surrounded them here, confined as they were and practically

26 THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

without green food, subjected to sudden changes of climate, to the disturbing element of constant visitors,
away from their homes and changed wholly from the natural conditions that surrounded them there, no
cow of any breed would show anything like the same richness in her milk, and that it was necessary, for
this reason, to have a large flow of milk, which could be more readily procured under the circumstances
than could richness. The results of the tests demonstrated that such preconceived ideas were correct, and
I am satisfied that, had we confined ourselves to cows of abnormal richness without a considerable flow of
milk, our efforts would not have met with the success they did. Reference to the figures in the tables
clearly demonstrate that the cows that succeeded best, not only in the Jersey herd, but among the Short-
Horns and Guernseys, were generally deep milkers.

I also stated that in my judgment it was necessary to have cows of good constitution. I appre-
ciated many of the difficulties that we had to encounter, as I conceived them ; but I was not prepared to
meet the very changeable weather which we had to contend with through a great portion of the tests. It
was my expectation that we would have been provided with green fodder, which could be fed to the cattle
fresh every day, and that it would not have been necessary for us to carry them, many from February
through to October, upon practically dry feed.

No green fodder of any sort was provided for us until the 14th of June, when we were furnished
with the green cut clover brought from Wisconsin before referred to. The supply often lasted for three
days, and, for the reasons previously stated, it did not have the beneficial effect that pasture, or cut clover
fresh from the farm and fed to the cattle, would have had. At best, it was but acorrective. It did not
affect the richness of the milk, nor the flow of same, to any appreciable extent, as grass generally does;
so that I claim we practically carried our cows on dry feed from the time they calved until they left the
barns for their homes, a most difficult task, and one that entailed great risk to the cows themselves, and
grave responsibilities and anxieties to those in charge; and that such conditions were not followed by
more disastrous results than were the case, I think is to be attributed to the character of the grain that
was fed, and to the watchfulness that was ever on the alert to discover the slightest signs of danger, and
by experience, skill and nursing, avert it as far as possible.

Under these circumstances it was absolutely necessary that our cows should be possessed of un-
commonly good constitutions. In this connection I may remark that I think the cows from the Southern
States suffered more than those from the North, and that the confinement to cows that were in the habit
of roaming the pastures practically the year through, and of having access at nearly all times to at least a
little green feed, as is the case with most cows in the extreme Southern States, was more prejudicial than
to those from the North and East.

I have stated that it was my aim to obtain, as far as possible, cows of a capacity of 3 lbs, a day at
home, under favorable conditions. But I stated, before I accepted this position, to the chairman of your
committee, as also to the late Maj. Campbell Brown, that if a herd could be procured that would average
2 lbs. a day, or very close to it, to the end of the go days’ test, I would be satisfied with the work that
would be done, and that I knew no breed could surpass such production. The records will show that this
was practically accomplished, although when IJ made that the basis of my calculation I fully expected that
we would have placed at our disposal cured clover hay, and later a daily fresh supply of either green fod-
der corn or green cut hay; and if we had been in possession of such, there is no doubt in my mind that
we would have averaged higher per cow than 2 Ibs. per day.

Any cow, especially one that is very highly bred, is a creature of habit, and very sensitive, and
anything that disturbs that habitude does so at the expense of production... The changing of cows that
have remained in stalls for any length of time to others will decrease the flow of milk and production of
butter, often for a week, and very often it will be two weeks before they will approach the yield they gave
before such change was made; and it is a weil-known fact that wherever decreases of that nature take
place, the return s seldom up to exactly as high a mark as before. We had that experience one time

.

SS

during the test, at the time the partition between the cows was erected. We had twenty-three cows on
the west side of the barn, Nos. 1 to 23, and two cows on the east side, Nos. 24 and 25. When it was
desired to place all our test cows on one side, we took down a box-: <all to the north of where cow No. 1
stood, making two stalls in its place. Instead of placing Nos. 24 and 25 in these two stalls, we moved all
the twenty-three cows up two st-lis, so that our cows might come in the order of their numbers, and put
Nos. 24 and 25 in the stalls formerly occupied by Nos. 22 and 23. 'A drop of between 35 and 40 lbs. oc-
curred from such change, and lasted through twenty-four hours. and I am satisfied it would have taken
from a week to ten days to bring them back. But when they were changed back to their old places again,
it took only two days to get them back to their normal work. All persons familiar with practical dairying
know what the result of a change of milkers is with the flow of milk.

Climatic influences also made great changes. Much to my surprise, I found by observation that
when the temperature rose to an uncomfortable degree for the human being, in the summer, it acted very
favorably to the production of milk in the cow, and to the richness of same. When we had three or four
days of such continued weather, oppressively hot to the human being, it was favorable to the cows ; but
if such warm weather was accompanied by great humidity, it was prejudicial to both flow of milk and
percentage of butter fat. Cool, bright weather for one or two days would not decrease the flow ; but if it
lasted three or four days it had a tendency to decrease both that and the percentage of butter fat.

While we endeavored to accustom our cows to visitors, and while apparently a moderate number
of visitors per day did not affect them, yet I found that the days in which we had fewest visitors, the
weather not being prejudicial, we had the best production, and that a large number of visitors decreased
the flow of milk.

I think it is the case at home on the farm, as far as I have observed, that where there is a decrease
in the flow of milk there is an increase in richness, so that the increased fat generally nearly equals the
decrease in milk. But it was a noticeable feature of these tests that anything which decreased the flow ol
milk also decreased the butter fat, so that on the days that we had a smaller flow of milk we also had a
less percentage of butter fat. The effect of visitors, noise and confusion was very noticeable immediately
the live stock exhibit was placed in the barns. There was a material decrease in products, caused by the
increased number of visitors, and by the fact that we had large, heavy draft-horses in the barn adjoining
us, which were worried by flies and themselves disturbed, and so disturbed the cows nearly all night. [
know at first they certainly disturbed me, because I was up three or four times every night, believing
something was wrong in the barn. Everything was done by me that my judgment suggested to get the
cows back to their flow, until I was satisfied that the whole trouble arose from the increase of visitors and
the increased noise and disturbance. After the live stock returned home, the cows again improved in
milk, demonstrating the accuracy of the conclusions reached.

I found the best way to keep down the flies, which swarmed in thousands, was to use sticky fly-
paper, and waged an incessant warfare against the flies by the use of such paper. Different ‘‘washes”
were used on the cows, but with no good results. After considerable difficulty and delay, screens were
procured for the windows, and swinging screen-doors. This, however, should have been done prior to
the flies becoming so prevalent, and in the early spring I made a request to Chief Buchanan for wire
screens and wire screen-doors, which were promised by him to me, and in turn were promised to him by
the proper authorities ; but there was so much work to be done that it was delayed until late.

YIELD PRODUCED.

I am satisfied that the yield made here was not as large by twenty-five per cent. as the same cows
would have done at home on the farms, under the same supervision, were the same amount of thought,
attention and anxiety to obtain results displayed, and with the cows in as good a condition for good
production as they were inhere. And this opinion is not confined to myself, but was the belief of the chair-
man and every member of the Testing Committee with whom I discussed this matter. From a careful

28 THE JERSE EER D Ast eb: WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

observation of the cows I am satisfied that of those who came from Eastern climates, and especial y those
from the South, many did not become acclimated during the entire period they remained here, and many
not for months. Again, some.of our best cows did not get into the tests owing to the fact that it was an
off year, and there were others that were distinctly home-sick, and among these some cows from which I
expected great results. They would not give milk, but, aotwithstanding all the feed we would give them,
they became thin, were dejected, and yet were in perfect health. I am satisfied, too, from past experience,
that, with as careful and gradual preparation to assimilate food as the cows in these tests had, larger
quantities of food could have been fed them at home on the farm, with an increased butter-production fol-
lowing, but could not here.

PRODUCTION AT WORLD’S FAIR AND AT HOME.

Those who have been at the barn, and who know what we had to contend with, will readily realize
that I am within the mark when I repeat that the production of the majority of the cows was not within
20 to 25 percent. of what they would have doneat home. And if proof of such assertion were wanting,
it is found in the following facts : I received letters from a few breeders during the progress of the go days’
test who believed they had cows that would do far better at Chicago than those we had in the herd, basing
their opinion upon what such animals were doing at home ; and they were justified in arriving at such a
decision from the premises before them. Believing that such cows would be an aid to the test andto the
cause, with that public spirit which -has animated Jersey breeders in this matter, they offered these cows
for the tests. I corresponded with these gentlemen, and, while recognizing the fact from the yields that
were reported to me, details of which were carefully given, that these cows were doing better than those
we had at Jackson Park, I suggested to them that it did not follow that the cows under discussion could
repeat their performance here ; that the change from the home farm to Jackson Park would act prejudi-
cially to them ; that they had to become acclimated ; that they would suffer from the ill-effects of visitors,
from the absence of good and green feed, and from the other disadvantageous circumstances surrounding
them ; but that I believed,.if they would bring their cows, even at home, to as near the condition they
would be in at Chicago as possible, they would find a material falling-off ; and I suggested to them to isolate
the cows from the rest of the herd, tie them up for seven days, have the same man milk and attend to
them who had heretofore performed these duties, feed them as they considered would be most beneficial
to them in grain feed, and give them whatever green cut grass (this was in June and July) they thought
desirable, and, after they had been so tied up for seven days, test them for the next seven days by the oil
test, and keep accurate records of their flow of milk. There were six cows so treated under my sugges-
tions, and of these but one retained the flow of milk and butter-production of the preceding few weeks.
The others decreased in flow from 20 to 30 per cent., and decreased in percentage of butter at least one per
cent. As I stated before, I believe the cows from the Southern States, where they were in the habit of
roving the pastures practically the year through, and having some green grass to nibble, suffered most,
those from the Eastern States next, and those from the West least, because they were in the habit of being
tied up for months ; but we had in our herd two cows froma farm where I am told it is the custom to keep
the cows tied up all the year through, and not allow them to go out to pasture, but to feed them in the
barn, and these two cows maintained nearer the home production than any other two cows we had, and I
think, if I am not mistaken, that one did better than she had ever done at home.

I think our flow of milk more nearly approximated the home production, but with such cows as we
had, and fed as they were, we ought to have had a richer product—~. ¢., a higher percentage of butter
fat. It certainly was not the fault of the breed that we did not have it. I question if it was the fault of
the feeding or care. But I, in common with others who have watched this matter very closely, am con-
vinced that it was the change of life and surroundings which decreased the percentage of butter fat. Had
these tests been conducted upon a farm within reach of Chicago, where the cattle would have had access
to pasture, and where they could have had proper exercise, far better results ought to have been attained.

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 2G

I found the cows did better when not let out for exercise at all. All through the winter months I
had the cows exercised on the floor daily, and in the early spring, before the flies came, had them exer-
cised out of doors. But after that it was impossible to do so, as the flies drove them nearly wild when
out, and they brought swarms of flies in with them. Had we been able to continue the exercise every day,
I have no doubt it would have helped them ; but I found that turning the cows out occasionally, as we did,
was followed by a decrease in the flow of milk and percentage of butter fat, on the general principle that
it was disturbing the habitude of the cows.

The wisdom of bringing all the cows here to calve has been amply justified. I have always believed
that the ability for milking between calvings is fixed in the first thirty to forty-five days after each such
event, and that to produce a good flow of milk the cows must be especially fed in that period to produce
that result, beginning with such food in small quantities, fed moist or asa ‘‘ slop,” and gradually increased.
Too great anxiety leading to over-crowding in the early part of lactation will be most prejudicial to the cow
until her next calving, and my preconceived ideas on this subject were borne out by my experience in these
tests. Had the majority of the cows not been brought here before calving, this habit could not have been
fixed for this test, except it were done at home; and in bringing them here it would probably have caused
a very large decrease in flow, which, with very rare exceptions, could not have been regained. Of all the
cows which went through Tests Nos. 1 and 2, but one had calved at home, Gay Orphan, and I doubt not,
from careful records furnished of her previous work, that she would have done much better had she calved
here. In Test No. 3, of the ten cows that were especially brought here for that purpose, and that had
calved at home, but three went into the test, viz.: Stoke Pogis’ Regina (which did extremely well, and
whichI regret we did not have for the go days’ test), Katherine of Pittsford and Cupid’s Jersey Maid.

PRICE OF BUTTER.

A good deal has been said upon the subject of the price of butter, and that it was too high. I be-
lieve that the price of butter as given in the schedules was too low, regard being had to the quality of the
butter. But whether too high or too low, it was the price fixed by Chief Buchanan, based upon the whole-
sale price of a fine article of butter in the markets of New York, Boston and Chicago, and assented to by
all the breeds prior to the tests beginning. The price offeed was regulated upon the same basis. I have
noticed that those who claimed that the price of butter was too high, and based their assertions upon the
market price in the West, have carefully abstained from asserting that the price of feed as charged was too
high. Yeta revision of the price of feed, based upon the Western prices for fodder, would make a consider-
able reduction in the cost of feed; and it is manifestly unfair to claim that the price of the butter should be
scaled down to a Western price, while the price of feed should be maintained to a basis equal to an average
between the West and East. This test was for the purpose of demonstrating not only the capacity of cows
and breeds, but also as an educator in the production of a high class of butter ; and any person keeping his
cows and his stable in absolutely as clean and sweet a condition as was the case here, producing in accord-
ance with the character of the feed fed here a milk absolutely as clean and carefully aerated, and butter made
by Ar butter-makers, can and will always find a market the whole year through for the product of as many
cows as were in this test, at a higher market price than was allowed for this butter. There is too much
indifferent butter on the market, and an Alt article, produced with the same cleanliness, and made with
the same skill that was demonstrated here, will always command a price in excess of that at which the
butter was credited to the various breeds.

I would, however, beg that those who judge the character of the butter in these tests by the score as
made by the experts, comparing it with the scores as given to the butter on exhibition, will not be deceived
as to the character of the former, or believe that it was inferior in any way to the exhibited butter, because
it was not. It is a question of the application of the score-card, and the scoring of such of the prize butter
as was sold on the Elgin market demonstrates the accuracy of my assertions.

30 THE JERSEY. HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

YIELD OF MILK.

The milking of the Jersey cows in the herd as a whole was most satisfactory, considering the
conditions. The statistics upholding my assertion are to be found in the tables in another part of this
report.

YIELD OF BUTTER.

Notwithstanding all the disadvantageous circumstances for the production of a Jarge quantity of but-
ter, there were individual yields at various times that indicate the capacity of the Jerseys under favorable
conditions. Some of the statistics bearing this out are in the accompanying tables.

19) 8;1 35) B).

The composition of feed in these tests had to be regulated to a certain extent with reference to the
cost of the component parts ofsame. Had the price of oats permitted it, I would have preferred to have
fed more largely of them than I did. While the price of corn-hearts, as compared with corn meal, favored
a cheaper production, it was not this consideration alone that induced me to feed them, It was the fact
that we had a long test before us, that we had no prospect of being able to procure a supply of green feed,
and for these reasons I preferred corn-hearts to corn meal. In ashorter test, where yield alone is to be
considered, a larger amount of butter can, in my judgment, be produced on corn meal than on corn-hearts.
We were not able to maintain as high feeding in middlings towards the end of the test as in the beginning,
as the gluten in the middlings tended towards impaction, one of the greatest difficulties we had to contend
with. I was unable to discover any special merit in cream gluten or grano-gluten.

When the cows were stall fed, as was the case in all these tests, I found they did best when the cured
clover or timothy was cut up into lengths of about three-quarters of aninch. I also found that the cows
digested the grain feed better when it had been dampened with hot water and allowed to stand, as the food
thus heated has been partially prepared for digestion, and the cow has been saved the labor to that extent.
“« Steaming,” had it been possible, would have been preferable.

When any material change in feed was made, no effect was produced in the first twenty-four hours,
but in the following twenty-four hours there was a falling-off in product ; on the third or fourth day, accord-
ing to the extent of the change made, the beneficial effect, if any were to follow, wasshown. It was clearly
demonstrated that radical changes in feed should be seldom made, and that any increase that may be de-
sired must be done very gradually, and in small quantities.

I am more than ever convinced that, with patience and skill, cows can be educated to eens
profitably a large quantity of grain feed, and that, if the composition of same is judicious, no ill effect will
follow. This was so marked in the go days’ test that it was possible to calculate the increase in product
that might be reasonably expected, and was almost always produced, by a given increase in feed.

That continuous and heavy feeding can be indulged in without injury, if coupled with discretion in
administering it, is shown by the fact that not a single cow that went through all three tests had her udder
in any way injured (except Hugo’s Countess, and that was an accident, in no way traceable to feed), and
that every owner of these cows from whom I have heard reports them as doing extremely well, and as be-
ing sound.

CHARACTER OF THE HERDS.

A good deal has been said of the high character of the Jersey herd competing, and that it would be
an impossibility to duplicate such aherd. It cannot be denied that in individual merit, in appearance, in
udder, and in all that goes to make up a perfect type of dairy cow the cows at Jackson Park were of a very
high order. But there are many equally as good, if not better, cows in the country, that we expected
would have been available for this test, but which were not, for the following reason : they were bred by
their owners to calve in the latter part of March or early in April, and many of them had been held for

THE JERSEY HERD AT THE WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 3x

that purpose for some time. As is often the case, they failed to hold, and consequently were not available
for our purposes.

Again, out of some 250 cows that I was especially requested to examine, over twenty had died of milk
fever between the time the members of the committee had seen them and my visit to the farms where they
‘had been. Iam not ina position to judge positively whether the Short-Horn Association and the Guern-
sey Cattle Club had as good specimens as it was possible to obtain under the circumstances, although I
think I am in as good a position to form a conclusion on those subjects as they are to form their conclusions
as to whether it would be possible for us to produce a better herd. I do not believe that all the good Jer-
sey cows of the country were in the Jersey herd. In fact, I am satisfied that, under certain conditions, a
better herd could be produced. I believe that the Short-Horns had as fair samples of their breed as it was
possible for them to obtain. I do know that the superintendent of that breed informed me early in
March, 1893, that he had more cows selected for the tests than he desired, and that he was then undergo-
ing the process of weeding out. I believe that the Guernseys had as fair representation of their breed as
it was possible to obtain, andI am convinced the superior performance of the Jersey, the superior individ-
uality of the cows in point of dairy excellence, in conformation, in udder, and, in general, all that goes to
make up a great dairy cow, were not alone owing to the individual excellence of these cows, but to the
superiority of the breed. I believe all the breeds had fair representative animals, and that, were this test
to be done over again, the results could not be relatively changed. The truth is, a superior breed to the
Jersey, in all that goes to make a perfect dairy cow, in conformation, and in excellence of work at the pail,
churn and cheese-vat, does not exist; and before the Jersey cow can be deposed from the proud position
she had heretofore aitained, and which this test does nothing morethan confirm in the most unmistakable
manner, anew breed of dairy cows must be created. But, unless I mistake the character, the intelligence
and the enterprise of Jersey breeders, the type of the Jersey cow as she is to-day willhave advanced to a
still higher pinnacle before another breed to equal the Jersey cow of to-day is produced.

The dairying public, the members of the American Jersey Cattle Club, and Jersey breeders gener-
ally, are under many obligations to the agricultural colleges and experiment stations for the interest they
took in this work, and for the appointment of such skilled, fair and impartial gentlemen as were chosen to
represent them in these tests. They all devoted themselves to the work with the single aim of conducting
the tests in such a manner as would best carry out the rules, and never displayed the slightest prejudice
whatever in favor of either one breed orthe other. They werealways found at their posts of duty, and itis to
their efforts that so perfect a system of blanks and records, and the carrying out of same in detail, were
due. They have the satisfaction of knowing that, through their aid and assistance, one of the most
perfect, most prolonged, most severe and most impartial tests was made that has ever been conducted
in the world. Personally I feel under obligations to them for the encouragement they always held out,
and for the universal courtesy and kindness they ever extended to me.

With the broad minds that have characterized the World’s Columbian Exposition authorities in all
Matters pertaining to this great exposition, they approached this matter in the broadest and most liberal
way, never hesitating to spend money where objects were to be attained, and never sparing themselves
any labor or trouble where the end seemed to justify the means. To them all dairymen, in this country
and in others, are indebted for making such a test possible.

I desire to return my sincere thanks to the President, to the Executive Committee, to the chairman
and your committee, to members of the Club, and to Jersey breeders throughout the length and breadth of
this country, for the universal courtesy ever extended to me, and for the aid they were always ready to
proffer to me in this matter. We were all working for one common cause, the retention of the Jersey cow
on the high pinnacle she had been placed. The members of the Club and Jersey breeders have done nobly
in the matter, and if, through any effort of mine, as faulty as it has been, I have helped but slightly to
Attain results that are gratifying and satisfactory to you, I am amply repaid.

Merny: Maiden (619A oj s= ae ee ae ee 2.77 lbs.

In these five days the yield is not as great as in the fifteen days of the cheese test preceding, or in
the ninety days’ test immediately following, as in these five days I made material changes in the feed.
Comparing the feed for the fifteen days of the cheese test with the first fifteen days of the ninety days’
test, I increased the linseed oil meal 86.82 Ibs., middlings 1243.29 lbs., and added cream gluten 709 lbs.,
or a total of 2039.11 lbs. increase to the herd. I cut off corn meal altogether, 1004.4 lbs. of corn-hearts,
402.87 lbs. of bran, 348.35 lbs. of ground oats and 403.32 Ibs. of cotton-seed, a total of 2759.15 lbs., ora
net decrease of 720.04 lbs. Under this change in feed the Jerseys maintained their flow of milk, increased
the fat in milk, and decreased the solids other than butter fat, the result sought.

SHortT-Horn HERD

GRAND SWEEPSTAKES AWARDS OF TESTS NOS. 1, 2 AND 3.

These awards were based on the greatest aggregate net profit shown by the cows and breeds in the
first fifteen days of Tests Nos. 1, 2 and 3, confined to such cows as went through all three tests. If
anything were wanting in the results of the tests to show most conclusively the great superiority of the
Jerseys, collectively as a breed, or in the individuals composing the herd, the ‘‘ Grand Sweepstakes
Awards” place it beyond any possibility of doubt.

It will be remembered that Test No. 1 was for cheese and by-products, Test No. 2 for butter and by-
products and Test No. 3 for butter alone. In Test No. 1 not only cheese, and in Tests Nos. 2 and 3 not
only butter, was taken into consideration, but in Tests Nos. 1 and 2 the milk (through the solids other than
butter fat) and increase in live weight formed a part of the basis for awards and decisions, so that every
quality of the dairy cow (and to some minds a step beyond, in giving credit for increase in live weight)
was considered. Again, the staying qualities were put to the test of proof, and the Jerseys were not
found lacking, but, on the contrary, stood out pre-eminently the leaders in this essential.

The appended tables will show that ten Jerseys went through all three tests, to nine Short-Horns and
seven Guernseys, demonstrating the ability of the Jersey breed to stand the strain that the environment
of the tests imposed on them better than the other breeds. It will also be noticed that out of the first
possible ten places the Jerseys had seven, in the following order, rst, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th and roth, to
three Guernseys and no Short-Horns ; that the three remaining Jerseys stood 12th, 13th and 17th; that
the highest Jersey made in the 45 days a net profit of $5.66 in excess of the best Guernsey (equal to an
excess net profit of over F2c. a day), and $6.40 in excess of the best Short-Horn (equal to an excess net
profit of 14c. per day) ; that the lowest Jersey made a net profit of $4.16 more than the lowest Guernsey,
and $7.90 more than the lowest Short-Horn. Important as these figures are, the relative profits of the
breeds are of far greater import, and demonstrate in the plainest and most conclusive manner that the
Jersey preed is vastly the superior, as the average “‘ aggregate net profit” per cow in the first fifteen days
of each test is as follows: Jerseys, $25.69; Guernseys, $21.52; Short-Horns, $18.20. Analyzing the

figures that go to make up the totals on which the awards were based, we find that the Jerseys lead
in the first fifteen days of each test by equally as strong a lead, as the following table shows :

The milk of each cow, as also the mixed milk, was analyzed each day, and though no butter was
made in the cheese test and the ‘“‘ five days preliminary’ between Tests Nos. 1 and 2, it is an easy
matter to estimate the butter in these two periods, on the basis of 80 per cent. oil in the butter. Esti-
mating the butter in this way, the following tables give all the products on a basis of the three tests of

the mature cows :

As the cost of feed in the five days preliminary has not been estimated, I am unable to give the
total footings.

The price of butter for the cheese test and five days preliminary is credited at the average rate per
pound credited to the breeds in the go days’ test.

The price of butter was fixed by the scoring, that having the highest scoring having the highest value,
and, consequently, that having the highest value possessed the best quality. The following are the values
per pound of butter :

JERSEYS. GUERNSEYS. SHORT-HORNS.

Taking each separate test and taking all of them in the aggregate, the results conclusively show that
the Jerseys—
I. Gave more milk.
. Made more cheese.
. Made more butter.
Gave more solids other than butter fat.
. Required less milk to make a pound of cheese.
. Required less milk to make a pound of butter,
. Produced a pound of butter at less cost.
. Made cheese of a higher quality.
. Made butter of a higher quality.
. Demonstrated their ability to profitably assimilate a greater quantity of feed and return a net
encreased profit.
