Holstein cattle-breeders among TIME devotees were doubtless given a start of real pleasure to see the picture of the new Holstein National grand champion, Man O' War 30th with his breeder, Walter Schmidt of Minnesota, at the leadstrap, and to read your description of the National Dairy Exposition in the Oct. 26 TIME.
