The Bhorthorn, particularly the Lincoln lied, la In my experience, tbe dairy cow par excellence. Enormous yields of milk are quite the rule among good cows of this breed. True, tbe milk Is not over-rich In butterfat. but it Is sufficiently rich to make the cow a large ylelder of butter. It Is not uncommon for Shorthorns to mt.'k over 1,000 gallons In a year, but t". .. V"-Air, 'tff. '-V.: 4 Typlcsl Shorthorn Cow. putting tbe yield at 800 gallons of per cent, milk, we get 240 pounds of butter, while m cow yielding 600 gallons gal-lons of 4 per cent, milk gives a little over 200 pounds of butter. Shorthorns' milk Is suitable for any purpose that Ayrshire buder can be turned to. Wht-n the Shorthorn bas done with tbe dairy she can be profitably profit-ably fattened to a good carcass of beef, which Is more than can be said of tbe dairy breeds, except the Dexter. |
