A Holstein cow The Guernsey is noted for the rich yellow color of the skin and of the secretions coming from the skin. There is supposed to be a relation- ship between this rich skin-color and the bright, rich yellow of Guernsey butter and cream. The Holstein-Friesian.— The color of this breed is black and white. There is no variation in shade, the only variation among individuals being in the amount of each color. At various times in the history of the breed, more white has been popular than at other times. For example, at present a Holstein bull calf having more than fifty per cent white will bring a larger price than an equally good animal having less white. The Ayrshire.— The Ayrshire cow is red and white, although occasion- ally a brown and white animal may appear. In such cases, the brown always has a reddish tinge. As with Holsteins, a large proportion of white is popular. The color markings in the Ayrshire are not so regular as the black and white of the Holstein. Often a white Ayrshire cow will be flecked with red instead of being marked in large patches or in any regular way. The best way to learn the different characteristics in color is to see animals of each breed. It is suggested to teachers that the children be encouraged to tell what kinds of cows they have at home and to describe the colors. Visits to good dairy herds in the vicinity of the school will increase the in- terest in the subject and give the children first-hand study of animal life. Farmers who are good dairymen are proud of their herds and are pleased to have them Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and a
