Now eomes the qnestion•---Are we
clever to cross -breed ? My reply is,
not btwcen pure-ltreeds if it can be
Avoided, but if it must be done,
select animals between which there
is no great difference in size ---a Jer-
sey and Ayrshire, a Jersey and
Guernsey, hat not .t jersey and Hol -
'stein. Ono size larger or smaller is
quite enough difference. to begin
with, if you have regard for what
the eonformatien will be in the
.second of third generations, and
whatever the selection of the sire
znay be (and tite sire should always
be a pure-bred), keep straight on
with that fatally, half bloods, three•
quarter bloods, and so on The
greatest improvement, the safest,
most economical breeding is to select
a sire of some family that are noted
-for produeing the g•"eatest quantity
.and best quality that your nearest
market or farts economy demands,
•and brood him to native or grade
cows of individual merit, and keep
at it. If you start with e Guernsey,
keep straight ahead on that line,
tbrsake all others, and in the end yott
will have accomplished something,
You will.have been getting along to-
wards purity of the type or family
!started with.
This is the method proposed by
14 Ir, Mayer, but, as Mr. Hoxie says, I
think the Ayrshire outcross would
have been better, Or better still
would, in my opinion, have been the
.outcross of the new breed of French
cattle introduced tato this country
by Mr. C. E. Colburn, of Portland-
ville, N. Y., which he calls French
Canadians. They are a French
breed, of recognized family, I believe,
in that country, imported first to
Canada, thence to this country—
hence French Canadians, They are
a bit stronger that; the Jersey, but
of the same color, and noted for their
richness of mill;. The butter -fat
tests reported by Mr. Colburn are
even greater than the Jersey, and
this would be the princil)ul reason
for selecting this family,. The idea
is in no degree to weaken the reput-
ation of the Jersey for richness of
milk. She is a most valuable animal
in that respect, standing at the head
of all other families. It has taken,
as already stated, over one hundred
years to eclttcate her to her present
proficiency ; why Iesson her reputa-
tion by even an Ayrshire or Holstein?
When an animal is quite perfection
in a special direction—butter, for
instance --a ' person should think
twice before reducing that reputation
by an outcross of less reputed butter
quality.
It would seen] that the remedy'
lies in a proper selection of the breed
itself. A healthier -looking lot of
young things it would be hard to find
in any herd of any breed :n any
country than the yearlings and two-
year -olds at Mountainside. They
are a great improvement on their
dams. In this respect it has never
been my good fortune to see a greater
improvement in one and two gene-
rations. By weeding out some of
the aged cows and others that show
effects of -wear and tear, a better or`
more economical -working dairy it
would be hard to -find.
Cross -breeding with a view of im-
provetnent • has been practiced by
hundreds and thousands of farmers
in this country during the last fifty
years, Where are the results. What
are the results. Not a single new
breed or family has in all these years
been established. We hear now and t
then of a phenomenal cross -breed
cow ; but no one tells of the tens and
hundreds of scrubs and weeds that
follow,
Life looks too short to most of us to
attetupt to establish o new breed,
especially when there seems to be
among the, families already made
variation to suit the tastes of all. If
anyone oan succeed at crossbreed-
ing, Mr. Bayer is just the ono to
undertake such a task. Iris under-
taking will be watehed with the
greatest interest by all breeders, and
he has our best wishes. --F. S. Peer

THE W INGLA.4. TIMES, FEBRUARY 7
Water in Butter.
It is only of recent elate that the
ratio of water in butter has been a
subject of discussion, and that its
presence in large amounts has been
challenged. The trado does not as
in milk, demand a specified standard
of butter in reference to water, yet
it does not, as Mr, Harris said at the
sleeting of the New Hampshire
Dairymen's t>,.ssoeiation, take kindly
to butter that is like some of our
railroad stocks, 1'iel1 in water, • In
fact, it marks down the priee of
such butter. Batter carrying
much water will not spend as well
as that which carries little, as
can be seen at a glance, rrhat is a
money question of no mean import-
ance, the pencil points make obvious,
Butter at 24 cents a pound costs one
and one-half cents its ounce. If it
contains i2 and a third per cent of
water it has two ounces or three
cents' worth of water, If it contains
18 per cent, then it contains three
ounces of water, or four and a half
cents worth. The .maker of such
butter receives one and a half cents
more for water than is received for
the first named sample. In one
case there is received for actual fat
27,42 cents, and in the other ease
29.39 cents, or over 7 per cent more
for the more watery butter. - This,
difference amounts•to several dollars
for a year.
It is something more than a.
question of standing ap. well and of
taste ; it is one of economic import-
ance to both buyer and seller. it is
a pity that the per cent, of water
cannot be determined by some near-
ly instantaneous process and butter
he sold on a uniform basis of water.
The trade prefers butter of some 13
or 14 per cent. of water, but get it
sometimes for the poorer sorts of over
20 per cent, Before us is an account
of butter made by an Englishman
.that contained 32. per. cent, or about
one third water, This butter could be
afforded cheap, Expert buyers take
the water into account in their p(tr-
chases, bat, of course, are liable
to over or to under -estimate the
value of this factor. Some makers
doubtless put into their butter in-
directly, by its manipulation, enough
to bring the • sample above the
average water mark,

In his annual report Secretary:
Morten, of the .Agricultural Depart-
ment, makes the following statement
in regard to a foreign demanded for
American horses:
"The trade in ho.rsesfrom America
began to assume growing praportiona
in the City et Glasgow in the year
11891, during which the Dominion
line took into that city 11.4 horses.
But in 18112, it carried in 147 head:
ie 1893, 187 head; and in 1894, 209
head., Since 181)1 the Allan steamer
has also carried to Glasgow 7,500
horses, and out of that number about
3,000 arrived in 1894. The total
number of horses takonieto Seotla,nd
from the United States and Canada
in four years has hot been less than
12,000. During the same period of
time the Scoteb export trade has fal-
len from 1,100 to 20 horses, while
the American deport trade at Glas
gow has grown to about 4,000
animals. Most of' the American
horses were natives' of the Western
States, trough shipped front Mont-
real, Portland, Boston and New York.
As a rule, they have been light wag-
on or carriage horses.
From reputable sources in Glasgow
this department learns that the im-
portation of American horses is COW
engaging the serious atteution of
dealers and contractors in that city.
The department is further informed
that the larger proportion of horses
received there from the United
States have given entire satisfaction
to their purchasers,and that the only
disappointing animals shipped from
this country have peen a few of the
Clydesdale type, which havo shown
a remarkably rheumatic tendeney.
If, horses of a useful size, trained for
roadsters and likewise adopted to
ordinary work—something after the
style of Cleveland Bays—are shipped
from America to Glasgow they will
as a rule, find a ready and profitable
market. Heavy horses, like wise,
weighing from 1,300 to 1,500 pounds,
in matehed pairs; ]nay be shipped at
current prices to that port with a
probable profit, though it might
prove unprofitable to send in a Iarge
number of such animals 'at the same
time.
"It seems now to be generally con-
ceded in Great Britain that it is
cheaper to import American horses
than to produce horses in that king-
dom. It is also pretty universally
admitted that the Canadian carriage a
horses are inferior to those exported tiv
from the United States, though the
Canadian animals are'claimed to pos-
sess, as a rule, greater power of en-
durance. There are now a . number
of reputable firms of agricultural
salesmen in England and Scotland,at
and Glasgow, <..govt4
London
G , t o whet, con-
signments have been made by Amer-
icans, with quite satisfactory results.
Immediately upon the arrival of
steamers carrying horses, or within
a few days after landing;, the animals
are exposed for sale at auction. They
are readily' purchased by contractors
and others who require them for their
own use, and thus there are very
few transactions through middlemen,
