THE DURHAM CHRONICLE, THURSDAY. MARCH. 20, IN MEMORIAM. VARNEY. The question as to which is the most profitable cow is one that can- not be decided in any arbitrary man- ner. There are so many circumstan- ces and contingencies to be taken in- (0 consideration, that, after all is, said and written on the subjecr, each man must decide the question largely on his own judgment. He will find it necessary to considur the nature of his farm: the suitability of his build ings and implements: the cost ofi hired help if such is required: thei proximity of a good market for his! finished products, and many Other? details The comparative advantage..- ol beef-growing and dairying would probably be the first point considered by a farmer who was just about to make a. start in cattle raising. Men who have had long experience in (i ther of these llllt'S. are not likelv to change to the other line, involving as it does, changes in farm routine. lll variety and management of crops. in buildings, and equipnwnts. with- out a good deal of deliberation. That beef-production can be carried on with a smaller expenditure {or labor and utensils is perhaps true. and it icertainly does not require the con- istant attention to business that dairy- |. o |ing entails. Next comes the question of breed. It will, I think, be generally conced- t d by fair minded men that there is no “best” breed. Everything de- pends on circumstances. A breed that proves highly satisfactory in one district, may be found entire- ly unsuited to dtfiarent environ- ments. Only four breeds of beef cattle, viz :-- Shorthorns, Hetelords, Galloways, and Aberdeen-Angus,‘ have attained popularity in (Enamel and only the first mentioned can hel said to be generally distributed. The: Others may equal the Shorthorns for? beef production. and even surpass, them under certain conditions. but; the superior milking qualities of the 3 Shorthorns, and particularly of the: grades, liave given them an unequal-I lt‘kl p-')1,u'arity among our farmers, Where feed is plentiful, and that country not too high or bl‘tk 3 en, they are likely to prove satisfac-l tory liet-fel‘s, and in addition \\ ill; produce a fair amount of milk. The; case with which good bulls of this? breed can be pl'tKZnY'cd for grading} [)lll'pOSBS. is also an argument in its: favor. Breeders of the other sorts’ are comparatively few, and the oppor- tunity for choice is small. when one dt sires to select a bull. In the cold- er parts of Canada, and on the bare pastures of the mountainous districts the Galloways and West llighlandei 3 should prove serviceable on account of their hardiness and activity. Among the dairy breeds. tl.e Ayr- shires, Holsteins. Jerseys, Guernseys and French Canadians are held in considerable esteem. The latter have been almost unknown outside of the prevince of Quebec until the last year or two. but they are now at- tracting considerable attention. Un- der adverse circumstances. such as scanty pastures, lack of prOper win- ter feed and care etc., they will prob- ably yield a greater percentage of profit than those breeds which have for generations been accustomed to good food and care. The Guernseys although highly thought of in the. United States. have never gained suf- ficient foothold in Canada to enable our farmers to judge their suitability for this country. Both they, and1 their close relatives the Jerseys, are i especially adapted for the production of fancy butter or cream for a high priced city trade, and the majority of Canadian herds of these two breeds are,I think.used for this purpose. The Ayrshires and Holsteins seem to be gaining in popularity among the gen- eral dairy farmers who support the icheese factories and creameries, and {with the dairy Shorthorns, are likely to divide the greater part of the dairy field between them. The Holsteins are likely to do better on the level lands, with flush pastures and plenty of winter food, while the Ayrshires should, I think, find more favor on rolling or hilly lands, because of their greater activity. THE COW THAT PAYS BEST. But while certain well defined difâ€"’ fei'ences may clmmcterize the various; breeds, yet it may be mail to remem-z her that there is much greater differ-l ence between individual animals of; the same breed than beween different i breeds. A good cow is a good cow; no matter what her breed may be. I Therefore let each man select thel breed that he considers best suited to his conditions, and stick to it. Let him buy. or breed to, the best availâ€" able bulls of that breed, and continue l to grade up his herd to a higher de-l gree of excellence year by year. The practice followed by some farmers of using bulls first of one breed and then l of another. is fatal to all plans of l building a handsome, uniform and; profitable herd of grade cows. and' that is just. what most farmers re- quire. The average man does' not need pure bred females : in fact will do better with good grades The breeders of pure bred stock, are, like ;the poet, born. not made. He must inherit a love for animals and an ap- titude for handling them, otherwise "‘““v â€"v his inyestment will prove unprofit- able. and all his efforts a disappoint- 1116!". . To FATE!"
