. Bulletin. Agriculture -- Ontario. Professor H. H. Dean. Mrs. Boss and her neighbors agreed to hold meethigs throughout the winter, when not busy. " They also decided to discuss buttermaking at the first meeting, and this is what a man who understands cow talk heard them saving : Meeting No. i. The first to speak was Mrs. Brindle. She said that it was her candid opinion that all his talk about " pedigrees " and " butter-blood" did not amount to very much. She thought that if her owner would look around he could find, among her friends plenty of good cows for mak- intr butter, which had not anv papers to show their breeding. For her part, she considered that blood was of no account. What she wanted was a cow that could do something. Mrs. Black - and - White, known in higher cow circles by the name of Mrs. Holstein- Friesian, or Mrs. Holstein for short, said she considered that it was better to give a large How of milk, so as to have plentv of skim-milk for the calves and pigs, as well as what is used for buttermaking. Some of the other cows thought that there was too much to handle to get a pound of butter from suchmilk. Mrs. Canadian said that some poor farmers could not raise enough feed to satisfy the ap- petite of the Drevious speaker, and she believed that a small cow. which is a sm^ll eater, is best for a poor man. Mrs. Shorthorn, who also be- to the high class in cow societv, argued in favor oi the cow that gives milk to drink, and butter to eat ; and if not satisfied with that, her owner could turn her into beef. Some of the mem- bers remarked that combined ma- chines never work so well as special ones. Mrs. Ayrshire said that, as the discussion was on butter-making, she had little to say, though some of her relations were just as good for butter as any cows. [30] Fi^-. 34. Fi"'. 85.
