CECIL FARMERS' CLUB.DECEMBER MEETING AT MR. G.!

W. GIFFORD’S, NEAR ZION.

An Interesting: Essay on “The Improve-ment of Dairy Stock" Read and

Discussed by the Members.The regular monthly meeting of tho Cecil

Farmers’ Club was held on Wednesday, the22d inst.. at Mr. George W. Gifford’s home-stead. near Zion. At 11 o’clock the President 'of tho club. Mr. John P. Wilson, directedthe call of the roll of the members, when thefollowing responded to their names; Alfred |Kirk, James H, Maxwell, George W. Gifford, jE. L. Duyckinck, Robert K. Rawlings, JohnP. Wilson and H. R. Torbert. The visitors !present by invitation were: S. G. England, ,William GilTord, William Stewart and E. A.Pugh, of Oxford. I

The minutes of the last meeting having jbeen read and approved, and reports of ex- .periments being in order, Mr. Rawlings said Ithat last year he began idling his ice-house *with three inch ice, laid Hat as usual. After jlininghis house about two-thirds full, he <laid the cakes which he cut about eighteen -

inches square ou their edges, completing |the idling of these edged blocks, which weresix inches thick. The edged ice froze into -a solid mass, and that was the only ice he \,had to use in season, the balance bavin** jmelted. r

Mr. Duyckinck thought if tho ice-house twas properly constructed it did not mattermuch how yoa idled it. He* thought ad ice- jhouses, whether above or below ground, fought to be lined with closely laid lumber. j

Mr. Kirk recognized the importance of the tice-house to tho dairy farmer. Ho, there- {fore, thought tho manner of idling it a mat- (ter of great importance. Tho air must be fexcluded from ice to keep it. He suggested <leaving a space around the lining of the (house to be packed down with Hue brokenioe, to secure tbo exclusion of air and the ,freezing of the solid contents of the house, ifpossible, in a solid mass, using the ice as ]required from the centre of the house. I

Mr. Maxwell thought tho character and \drainage of the ground had much to do \with ice keeping. Ho thought green offal ¦grass was the bett to cover the ice. He ,thought good ventilation also was essential ito the success of ice keeping. ,

Mr. Duyckinck said he had recently built |ft galvanized stem tank, 8 feet by 4x4, I .J , tobold 1000 gallons. It has one partition act- jiug as a brace or binder, but nevertheless it <has bulged out eight inches. He thinks hismistake was in not having two partitions tostrengthen it instead of one. The galvan- ,ized steel costs considerably more than woodbut he prefers steel galvanized if strongly .constructed.

There being no further reports of oxperi- ]incuts, and the regular essay being in order,Mr. Gifford presented the following paper on j

THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUU DAIRY COWS. '

This is a subject on which there has been 1much said and written by men who are in aposition from long years of experience andobservation to form more definite conclu-sions than lam able to arrive ai. Rut 1 have 'my experience and observation which 1will give to this club in regard to this onevery important subject.

In the breeding of animals one must havea definite object in view, in this age ofcivilization, where industry is divided andsub-divided so that each set of workmenhave separate and distinct lines of work inthe make-up of the most simple articles ofmanufacture; so in the breeding of utockthe nature and adaptation ol the kind olstock he wants fur bis special purpose theproduction of u milk cow that will give agood How of rich milk.

The production of a general purpose ani-mal has been the aim of many breeders. Inall tho great regions ol the West. Shorthornsor Durhams and Herefords have been thevery best cattle to breed from when only beefis the object. If dairying is tube the chiefindustry 1 would from experience take thefull-blooded Holstein cow of the best milkand butter producing families and cross witha Jersey sire of the best milk aud butter pro-ducing families, being careful to use animalsthat are of good form, large and robust.

Breeders of registered stock are especiallyparticular in the selection of sires, so muchso that many of them breed solely withreiereuce to blood particular families con-tain, regardless of some of the imperfectionsla the form and general make-up of theanimal. By using the Holstein cow we havea very good foundation. They are of goodsize, nice form, being broad across tho hips,giving large Hows of milk, stout, robustframes, having one very essential character-istic, that of being good feeders. Then itnaturally follows if properly fed and shel-tered they produce the desired result.

In the use of a sire of Jersey stock ofwhich I am an ardent admirer for severalreasons; their color and elegant form andtheir docile dispositions with kind treatmentproducing moderate quantities of rich milkaud butter of fine texture aud quality, andmilking well up to time of calving. I rc-

, gard this cross from my own experience asgiving mo strong, healthy, good-sized, busi-ness cows, also a cow that will command theattention of buyers and when sent tomarket the owner will readily realize a goodprice, fully compensating him for the extra

care and expense of breeding and roaringsuch an animal over and above raising scrubstock.

1 have observed tbo methods some peoplehave used and who have been tr>ing to im-prove their dairy stock, using the Holsteinsire with their Jersey or grade cows to im-prove tho milk or butter qualities, or using aShorthorn sire for either improving tho milkand butter production or the size of the off-spring for vealing. I regard this as a prac-tice to bo very detrimental to tho dam, as hasbeen my observation at tbo time of parturi-

tion, the labor often times having been so

Comment on the essay being in order, Mr.Kirk said that if you were dc.droua t< 1 reed'for cross, he preferred the Guernsey andJersey, as the Holstein was not particularlyesteemed for butter producing. The Jersey,,ho thought, as a rule too delicate and re-quired too careful handling for profitfarmers in general, tho grade cow of mixed.Guernsey and Jersey breed being, in hit-opinion, a hardier animal.

Mr. Duyckinck said ho thought from the-evidence of expert cattle breeders, that indi-vidual animals of tho Holst etas and shortHorns were tho first in record in m.Sk andbutter production, but as distinct fa: iilinsthey wore tho lowest. The reason of this is*that the families are not distinctive as butterproducers, but rather as milk producers, th#*Jerseys being more recognized as butbu* j ro-ducors. His opinion was that tho Guernseyamt tho Jersey bloods crossed produc-d tins*best utilitycow for tho farmer.

Mr. Pugh expressed his prefefonce foxJersey cattle as milk and butter producers.Of the Jerseys he wanted thorough-breda.out if he desired a cross ho would lake th*Guernsey and Jersey not tim Holstein.

Mr. Stewart agreed with the essay as ucrossing for general purposes on the farnu.While tho Jerseys and Guernseys an- th I '•!for butter making solely, yet ho preferredthe Holstein and Jersey ••res* for b ,,cf. milkand butter on the farm. Ui.swus hi-* ex-perience.
