They are very good milkers, however, but their fst test is rather low. If they have any special characteristics they tend rather toâ€" wards the dlairy than the beef type. Judging from the weights of cows when they entered the contest and from their weights at the close it would seem that they were fed a ration rather tn execss of what was required\ to sustain them in flesh. cont The Dutch Belted haye some good mil i more attention paid to the producing dairy qualities. Everything has be cows lack in constitution. The Polled Jerseys were handicaped 11 herd a two year old heifer and two cows in milk. There has been a rood de Canada, on the other hand, sent three distinctly dairy Holsteins and Aryshires, which, with the Guernseys formed competitors for the prizes offered. _ All the other breeds merit as dairy cattle. The French Canadians are a distina not large producers, but very economical, and as family co particularly good showing. The Canadians had the most profitable cows it is true, whole, but the best dairy breeds were not represented by They brought out some breeds which Canada could not p Jerseys, Red Polls, Dutch Beited and Brown Swiss. y Brown Swiss do not claim to be special dairy breeds, whil not distinguish themselves in that line. This has not been a contest of Canadians against Americans, as in of the show cattle, but has been a centest of breed against breed Guernsey have been winaers in the butter fact test, but it is the ( breeders on both sides of the line, and not alone those of the Unite from whence the Guernseys came, which will be benefited. Like Holsteins, which won the Total Solids prize. The Holsteins, it is tri Canadians, but the American Holstein men as well as Canadians w honors for their breed. The dairy barn was a model of cleanlit;ess dence of the care bestowed upon them.
