6 3gritnitttiaL PAnn tho Farui Journal. • z To Ingfrove the Breed of Kileh Cows. 4fithose who are most deeply inter ested cannot be,induced to make some effort to improve, their mulch cows, we, must permit them to go in the old ivay, in which they milk their'cows one-half the._ season atl i d the cows milk them the other half." We copy the above from the report on milch cows at our late Pennsylvania State Fair, signed by JouN STROHM, chairman, R. R. REED and Jon lI.AYEs We be lieve there is much truth in it, and that through a large portion of Pennsylvania, our dairymen contin tee to keep cows, who, for one-half of the year, or nearly so, are all expense without any profit, As the report s.i s, the cows milk their owners for six moaths for the privilege of being milked in return. We have not at this time die means of any estimate of the av crag.) yield of milk or butter per cow in Pena,ylwania, hut there is no doubt it is at least one-half of what; it should be, and whit it may be. Making all allowance. for the dilThrence betwema good and bad, a large - majority of Our dairy cows have not the coilsiit atiiioal rapacity for deep will:iug, entirely irrespective of feed. A cow making ten pounds of: butter will yield it on the same pasture as the one who makes but five, and, we contend, may be kept at the same expense. Farmers have this' matter very much under their own control. Every neighborhood has one or more deep milkers far abi o the average, The real value of such cows , can hardly he estimated as a foundation on which to establish a breed adapted for the dair , y. To get up a breed of stock for feeding purposes is far more difficult, a coinUnatiwt of good qualities being re quired. For the dairy, deep milking only • is the desidreatum, and shape. co.or, size and feeding properties being secondary. We would select any cow remarkable for her productiveness in milk or butter, or both, without reference to any thing else, and breed her to a bull whose dam had also the same property. A heifer calf from such parents would generally inher it their tendencies. If the grandams on both sides have also been deep milkers, the chances would be very much increas ed. Every fanner who is a dairyman, and depends for a large share of his in come on the sale of bilk and butter, should raise his own cows, and spare no expense to obtain such, not only foryini mediate profit, but for breeding, as are adapted for this one object. As in order to keep up this stock, it is often necasa ry to make purchases, it also becomes im portant to know if there any well recog nized points to select a -cow, which are reliable and invariable. With the excep tion of the Alderney, perhaps there is no breed in which the milking property can be said to be a fixed characteristic. The Farmers' Magazine says of a prime milch cow : ''The head should be small, but rather long and narrow at the muzzle ; the eye small but quick and - lively ; the horns small, clear bonded, and their roots at considerable distance from each other; neck long and slender, and taperin ,, r' tow ards the head, with little loose skiuhang ing below ; shoulders thin ; hind-quarters lar...e and capacious; back strait, broad behind, and joints of the chine rather loose and open ; carcass deep, and the pelvis capacious, and well over the hips with fleshy buttocks; tail long and small; legs small and short, with firm joints; udder capacious, broad and square, stretching forward, and neither fleshy, low hung nor loose ; the milk veins large and , prom inert; teats short, pointing out wards, and at considerable distance from` each other, skin, thin and loose; hair, soft and woolly ; the head, bones, horns, and all parts of the least value small, and the general figure compact and well pro portioned." • This is such a picture as • most, would draw. of a well shaped cow, and yet who has ever seen one combining all these pointS. How many of them are necessary to constitute a deep milker ? arid do we not often find a deep milker who has. very few of titetu ? Wo believe many a cow is spoiled for the dairy by having . been stunted and kept on too scanty food when a calf Calves should receive as ample alupply accordingly, and. as succulent and nutritious a character of food as a cow in milk.. This enlarges and gives full si'Ae to the lacteal vessels, strength and vigor to the constitution, and we are con fident materially aids to make the full grown cow what we want her,to be. GUENON'S tests for a good cow, as shown by the escutcheon, we find are much and increasingly relied on by dairy men. Without .being able to understand how they are connected, or what they have to with the lacteal secretions, (and which may be like ninny other mat ters which we do not understand, but cannot help believing,) there is abundant evidence that they generally accompany, and have been fully proved by thousand; of farmers to be a sign. of deep milking. From our own observations, we know of no tests so reliable, and would advise every dairyman to procure a copy of the work. The value of a dairy cow does•not de pend entirely on the amount of Iccryield; . but also on the time she will go dry.. In some of the counties of England, statis ticshave been obtained showing on the average all the results which go to deter mine the value of the cows. amount of milk, butter, &c. Of five Short-Horn cows in'one instance, we observed the Wowing as the product of the year : One which did not go dry at ill give 4,857 qts. •"• went dry eight weeks " 3,985 •' •• four " 3,987 " 6 6 j eighteen weeks 3,383 " These cows were in summer at grass, and in the winter on hay and turnips, with two months on hay alone. Will sonic of our subscribers give us an account of the annual yield of their own cows in milk and butter ? By know ing what so ne cows do, we shall be able to determine what others ought to do. iloricufturnL • - FGUNDRY OWWalt AND NIAI'IIINE $ -`',;`; fhe nubscriber Les the satisfaction ssliii licLe.,mac :ortning his old friends suni patrons that OStnbilSilitllvtit is tIg.;1111 ill Itt . tiVo. opt.- r H.
