MILK-PAIL PERFORMERS

HOLSTEINS IN DAIRY TESTS. "Holsteins have again mado an excellent showing in the dairy tests of tho \year," says the annual report of the Canadian Holstein Association. ". . . In one , or two tests Ayrshire breeders carao out. on top which fact will be a sourco of encouragement to breeders of this stock and a warning to Holstein breeders not to rest on their laurels. "When we consider (continues the report), and there aro about 3,000,000 cows in Canada, and only about 50,000 purebred females of all dairy breeds, thero does not appear to bo much gronnd for tlfe fear o-' soino timorous people that tho Holstein business will be overdone. Females are always in demand at good prices, and dairy farmers are realising as never before tho value of tlio purebred sire for grading purposes.

. "The extraordinary demand from the Canadian West for both purebred and grade Ilolsteins is only a promiso of what wo 'lnay expect for years to come. Now Zealand, Australia, and South Africa ore all taking our cattle, and our foreign trade should increase as breeders in other countries como to realiso that Canadians are producing the very best Holsteins lo be found anywhere. In constitution, conforinatioivshapliness of udder, as well as capacity at tho pail under normnl conditions. Canadian. Holsteins .have no superior."
