She is a product of high cow-civilization, and as such she must have the intelligent care of man or she cannot do her best. With this care she is a marvellous machine for the making of the only article of food which in itself is competent to support life in man. If my Holsteins are not machines, they resemble them so closely that I will not quarrel with the name.
This is the secret of the Holsteins' wonderful capacity for assimilating enormous quantities of food without retaining it under their hides in the shape of fat. They have been bred for centuries with the milk product in view, and they have become notable machines for that purpose.
No, sir; a cow will do a lot better without horns. There's mighty little to distract her attention when her clubs are gone." "What breeds of cows have you handled, Thompson?" "Not any thoroughbreds that I know of; mostly common kinds and grade Jerseys or Holsteins." "I'm going to put a small herd of thorough bred Holsteins on the place."
The butter netted me thirty-two cents a pound that year, or about $60 a week. In July I bought four thoroughbred Holsteins, four years old, in fresh milk, and in October, six more, at an average price of $120 a head, $1200 in all. These reënforcements made it possible for me to keep my contract with the middleman, and often to exceed it.
Now that the Holsteins are there, too, why don't you sell the few old cows and the two horses that we rescued from the fire, and use that money in paying off more debts? If the mortgage were only out of the way, with all the other improvements you speak of well started, I should think we were headed straight for millionaires' row. I also found a letter from Mr.
Only, as I landed her back at her hotel, along about 2:30 a.m., she slumps into a big chair in the Egyptian room and lets her chin sag. "It's no use, Torchy," says she. "I I couldn't." "Eh?" says I. "End my days to jazz time," says she. "No. I shall go back to my quiet hills and my calm-eyed Holsteins. And I shall go entirely contented.
"It come to the last you know how it ends 'To kiss the cross, sweetheart, to kiss the cross! There was a rich and silent moment and I says, 'If that Chet Timmins hasn't shown himself to be a regular male teep by this time And here come Chet's voice, choking as usual, 'Yes, paw switched to Durhams and Herefords over ten years ago you see Holsteins was too light; they don't carry the meat Honest!
"Why, some days it rains up here, but I can sit at my window and look down the valley, to where the creek runs through, and 'way up into the timber, and the sight of all those green things, livin' and noddin' in the rain is a long ways from being disheartenin', and when the sun shines I can sit out here, in my garden, with my flowers, and watch the boys playin' down in the meadow, Bascom's Holsteins grazin' over there on the hill, and the air full of the perfume of growin' things, they 'aint got anything like that, in New York."
"How do you like the new Holsteins?" asked the banker, as he watched Bob finish off the last cow. "They're fine, Mr. White. This one's name is Spot. She's my favorite; she's a three-year-old and gives twenty quarts of milk each day. That's better than any of the others, although two of them come pretty close to her.
Their names are "Primrose," "Daisy," "Buttercup," and "Black-eyed Susan." Now just as there are different kinds of chickens so there are several kinds of cows Guernseys, Jerseys, Alderneys, and Holsteins. "Primrose," "Daisy," and "Buttercup" are Jerseys and are a pretty brown. "Black-eyed Susan" belongs to the Holsteins and is black and white.
