. Milk and its products : a treatise upon the nature and qualities of dairy milk and the manufacture of butter and cheese . Dairying; Milk; Dairy products. Ayj-ahires 69 States about 1860. They iuoreased verj' slowly until about 1880, since which time they have become very numerous, particularly in those localities where the sale of milk for market purposes is the chief dairy industry, and iu many such localities they are rapidly corning to be almost the only dairy breed kept. Ayrshires.—Aj'rshire cattle, as the name implies, originated in the county of Ayr in southwestern Scot- land. Up to about 1800 there was no particular type of cattle in this locality, but about this time dairying began to be developed, particularly in the parish of Dunlop, and the more enterprising dairymen began to select cows for dairy production from the common stock of the country. It is supposed that the original stock of the countj^ of Ayr had a more or less mixed origin, but the Ayrshire breed took on distinctive characters as earlj' as 1830, and since that time has developed into one of the chief dairy breeds in Scot- land, in Canada and in the United States. Ayrshire cattle are of medium size, distinctly larger than the Jersey, and distinctly smaller than the Holstein. They are charac- terized by extremely straight and smooth forms, with round bodies, slim necks and legs, and long, slim, upright horns. They are extremely active in disposition, and alert, and stylish in appearance. These qualities have been developed. Fig. «. Ayrslii.
