Il will be noted that there is growing
interest in thoroughbred and grade cattle,
as exhibited by the above report. A few
years since, scrubs were considered good
enough Tor any farmer but the expert

preeepts have gradually broken down
the barriers. and now farmer feels his
stock incomplete without one or more
specimens with recorded pedigree. We
invite the attention of those interested in
this subject TO an article on the fourth
