and would grow and fatten on tht
smallest quantity of food. These
circumstances will, / conceive
merit the attention of the Society,
should it hereafter have the means
of bestowing premiums of tins
sort. In the fattening of cattle and
sheep, there is point to be attain
ed at which their flesh will be oi
the best quality, and most valuable
to the consumer. Is not all be.
yond this a waste of time and ex-
pense of their keeping?
The quality of cows is highly
interesting to the farmer who makes
butter and cheese. Some yield lit
tie of either, although giving much
milk. And DR.. Anderson men,
tons an instance of one cow from
whose milk no butter could be
made. She was purchased of a
farmer who kept large dairy, by
a person who had no other COW,
and thus the discovery was made.
Thrown into the general mass, her
milk had been useless, and her
keeping a dead loss to the farmer.
Hence the doctor judiciously re-
commends the setting in separate
pan, the milk of every COW, to
ascertain its quality; that such as
give meagre milk may be fattened
and sent TO the slaughter house.
This experiment will assist the
farmer in selecting the COWS most
proper to be the parents of his fu-
ture stock. Cows which, in equal
time, make fatter calves than 9TH
ers, may be presumed to give
richer milk, or greater quantities
of good quality and the calves
of such cows may be raised with
a fair prospect of obtaining an inn
proved breed.
/ had often seen descriptive marks
of good COW; some appearing
rational, others fanciful. | once
asked an observing neighbour, what
marks determined his choice. 81
look (said he) to the bag-if that
be large, and the teats Jar apart,
| am satisfied" was struck with
this answer. A cows bag consists
of four lobes, or dugs. If these
arc large, the entire bag will be
large and the teats far asunder.-
After the famous Oakes COW had
obtained the premium at the Cattle
Show of 1916, | went purposely
to see her. On approaching near.
enough, | looked to her bag and
teats. These were farther asunder
than those of any COW / had ever
seen; and her bag, of course, was
of an extraordinary size. But her
milk also was uncommonly rich.
MIR. Oakes told me the veal of her
calves had always been unusually
fat. Mr.. Oakes not being far
mer, had not raised any of them.
Probably the like disposition to
fatten depending, doubtless, as
well on the offspring as on the
dams) has thrown into the butch
ers' hands many fine calves and
lambs, which ought to have been
saved as the surest means of OBJ
tanning the most valuable stock.
Bakewell's wonderful improve
merits in live stock were effected
by his always selecting and keep
ing the best Of breeders.
