MILK-PAIL PERFORMERS.

HOLSTEINS IN DAIRY TESTS

"Holsteins have again made an excellent showing in the dairy tests of the year," says the annual report of the Canadian Holstein Associa'tion In

one or two tests Ayrshire breeders came out on top which fact will be a source of encouragement to breeders of this stock and a warning to Holstein breeders not to rest on their laurels.

" When we consider (continues the report) and there are about 3,000,000 cows in Canada, and only about 50,000 purebred females of all dairy breeds, there does not appear to be much ground for the fear of some timorous people that the Holstein business will be overdone. Females are always in demand at good prices, and dairy farmers are realising as never before the value of the purebred sire for grading purposes. "The extraordinary demand from the Canadian West for both purebred and grade Holsteins is only a promise of what we may expect for years to come. New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa are all taking our cattle, and our foreign trade should increase as breeders in other countries come to realise that Canadians are producing the very best Holsteins to be found anywhere. In constitution, conformation, shapliness of udder, as well as capacity at the pail under normal conditions, Canadian Holsteins have nosuperior."
