Miller knows nothing of the prominent


Shorthorn herds of the United States, when
he says they don’t give sufficient milk to
raise their own calves, and his assertion is
father to his own wish, that such should be the
case. Further, will Mr. Miller deny that the
prominent dairies of England are composed of
high-grade and pure-bred Shorthorn cows?
If he does, the London “Agricultural Gazette”
and “Journal” do not so report, and they are the
standard stock papers of that country, so I am
informed. I have understood this to be true
also of the large dairies of New York.
Again, when he says, if the claim was good
for anything, it would not add anything to the
value of the breed to go to the plains of Texas,
he is in great error, and his assertion proves
him anything but a practical cattleman, for on
the plains and in Texas it is doubly necessary
that .an abundant flow of milk be kept up.
