This _ « i _- The Dairy Test and Horticultural Show, held last week in Toronta, revealed the fact that Ontario County is taking the lead in dairy cattle, as that county has taken the lead as the home of champion fai cattle. James Leask went to Toronto this year and captured a number of * prizes on his Shorthorn cattle.. We begin to look upon this prize taking as a matter of course so-far as James Leask is concerned, although it might be said in passing that it is no easy matter to keep first place after one 'secures it. The notable event for Ontario is that Holstein-Fresian cows took the lead in the Dairy test, and Wilmot Walker of Manchester owned the cow- that secured first place. There were 345 cows exhibited at the Show, and 43 of them were Holsteins. They were exhibited by some of the best breeders in the Province. To walk in and take a leading place among these veterans is a great honour for a young man like Mr. Walker, who has'but recently started farming for himself. There is no doubt, however, that the training on the old homestead had much to do with his success, for Mr. R. W. Walker 1s a pionecr in the introduction of Holstein cattle in this vicinity, and has been remarkably successful in his work. . The winning cow is named Madame B Third, Elmer Second. In her class nine animals were shown, one other of which was Madame B Third, Princess Dekol, which is also owned by Mr Walker and took fifth place. "The winning cow made a remarkable showing considéring the railway journey.. She gave 213 lbs of milk in three days, with a test of 3.5: Hel score was 243.34. This cow took first prize, special \prize of $25.00. given. by the Holstein-Fresian' Association, and the championship. , +. The other Holstein winners were Messrs. C. W. Biggar, A. E. Hew- lett, and C. Bollert, whose cows took second, third, and fourth prizes' in the order named. - yk . "In the general test, Holsteins took!the first six places. Then came Ajyrshires for a couple of points. then Holsteins again, and then Jerseys. Mail Order Houses which the big dailies can make. head- : : way i$ by cutting their prices. .
