Iaily Dolly (iruy, iri.rvinninff (Suoi-nsey, owned by E. L. Thompson of Portland, Oregon.
All over the Northwest the agricultural colleges and the railroad demonstration
trains have made a fight to eliminate the scrubby cow. They have preached argu
ments of economy and of revenue. Here, for example, is a living proof of the value in
dollars and cents of a well-bred dairy cow. Lady Dolly Gray, a second prize win
ner at the Union Stock Yards show arid a first prize winner over all Northwestern ex
hibits, is an imported Guernsey. Her milk tests seven per cent butter fat and she is
now yielding 28 pounds of milk a day. As added proof, if additional proof be neces
sary, her yield is sold as "certified milk" and. brings a much higher price per quart
than that of the average cow kept for dairy purposes. The Lady Dolly Grays of the
Northwest are increasing in number, and the day is not far off when they will form a
majority of the dairy stock.
