You American dairymen are making a great mistake in allowing showmen to be your importers, as they are taking over only tlie show type. By this means you are losing, to the American Ayrshire, the advan- tages of our record Ayrshires in the economy of milk ; As an illustration that show Ayrshires are not producers, the ring of aged cows at the Royal Agricultural Show last year is a good illustration. The cows placed at the lower end of the show ring were at the head in the production class. They stood as follows: Inspection class 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Production on yield of milk 5, 4,1. The cows receiving 2 and 3 in the inspection class were not shown in the production Ayrshire calves at feeding Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Missouri.
