richer than Holstein milk. For years
the dairy cow has been the Jersey cow
in the South and the people have be
come accustomed to a deep cream line
and a yellow color. They want a deep
layer of cream on the bottles of milk
that are delivered to their homes each
day. If milk is sold by the gallon,
without reference to the fat contents,
the Holstein will give more milk and
make a larger return. A large num
ber of farmers have found that they
could not deliver the milk from Hol
steins, but have to keep some Guernsey
or Jersey cows to bring up the fat
content and the color to make it popu
lar. This is not true in the northern
states.
Comparison of Feed Required.
The amount of feed required to
keep up tne body of an animal is
roughly proportional to the size of the
animal. The Holsteins therefore eat
more feed. After the feed required to
maintain the body is accounted for,
pne breed will Iproduce butter fat
about as economically as the other.
Holsteins seem to require a larger
amount of rough feeds than do the Jer
seys. This may be accounted for by
the different conditions under which
t’ two breeds were developed. The
Holstein originated in Holland where
the land is low and fertile and the
grass grows the best of any place in
the world, and there is a large amount
of hay and but little grain raised. The
climate is severe in the winter. The
Jersey comes from the Island of Jersey
in the English Channel where the cli
mate is warm and the grass is short
and the feed supply is limited. More
grain and roots are fed there than in
Holland. These facts have led many
breeders to think the Jersey is bette"
adapted to the South. If plenty of
rough feed is provided here it seems
this should not be a serious handicap.
My experience during the last five
years work with Georgia dairymen
has convinced me that it is much
harder to get enough rough, feed fed
than to get the required amount of
concentrated feeds.
Raising The Calves.
The Holstein calves are heavier in
proportion to the weights of their
mothers than are the Jerseys and they
are easier to raise. This is an ad
vantage.
Some say they prefer the Holstein
because she gives more milk and they
can use the skim milk for the hogs.
It is doubtful if we can afford to pro
duce the skim milk for hog feeding
since it is worth only amout 4 or 5
cents a gallon as such.
Bitter experience has taught hun
dreds of times that the Holstein-,
Jersey cross is all wrong. Some
very good cows have resulted from
this cross but they are the exception
and not the rule. The calves resulting
from this cross are half Holstein and
half Jersey. What will the breeder
do now. If he breeds these heifers
to a Holstein bull the calves will be
three-quarters Holstein. He can not
use a Holstein bull one time and then
a Jersey bull. He had better decide
on one breed and keep it pure or as
nearly so as he can.
If it is desired to change breeds it
is well to use a bull of the breed pre
ferred and soon the cows will be
very high grades of the breed selected,
which is all right.
The Breeds as Beef Producers.
Many Holstein breeders claim their
breed is dual purpose in that they
make good beef as well as producing
milk. They do grow larger and are
heavier but they do not make any
better beef than the Jerseys. They
have more bone and tendon but no
better steak. They put their fat on in
the region of the intestines and they
are discriminated against by the buy
ers just as the Jerseys are. Do not
count on the Holstein for beef for she
is a dairy cow’ absolutely. In Hol
stein sections this point is never
brought up but it is very often heard
in this state. It is all wrong.
No Bulls To Sell.
The writer wishes it understood that
he has no bulls of either breed for
sale but that he speaks from experi
ence with the breeds an dfrom work
ing with dairymen who use these
breeds.

They put “Big Bill” Hart in a dress
suit at the studio where he was en
gaged on his new Artcraft picture,
“Branding Broadway,” and thereby
rendered him as uncomfortable as a
I man can be under ordinary condi
tions. i ll'
“It made me downright unhappy,”
confided the Thomas H. Ince star to
one of his associates, “to be rigged out
in one of these boiled shirt outfits.
The collar binds like a bridle bit on
a mustang, and I feel as awkward as
a cayuse in harness for the first
time. Os course, if art demands that
I wear the thing, I’m game, but give
me a soft shirt, a pair of overalls and
chaps and I’m contented as a Coman- ■
che with a bottle of snake-bite.’ ’
“Bill” looks well enough in his rig,
but he is manifestly uncomfortable.
To make the slight concession to his
Western temperament, he wore his
Stetson sombrero when he wasn’t
working and the combination was de
cidedly incongruous. Mr. Hart has
accomplished wonders with the pic
ture which has much of its action in
little old New York. It will be shown
at the Alcazar theater Monday. i
Seena Owen, Mr. Hart’s leading wo
man in the new photoplay, had to ac
quire the difficult art of flipping pan
cakes in order to appear to the manor
born in a restaurant scene. “Just the
same,” declared Miss Owen, “my appe
tite for flapjacks is destroyed. I never
want to look another in the face.”
Tom Brierly, art director at the stu
dio, had to rack his brains to find a
way of clearing the stage for a set rep-
