GRADES AS

A recent writer suggests w very impor-
tant questions, the facts in relation to
which, and the principles controlling the
case. should be we'll understood by all dali
rymen and breeders of dairy stock. His
query is, do heifers from native or scrub
mothers by bulls OF thoroughbred milking
stock, make better mixers than their dams;
and if so, why? Why take the qualities OF
the stock from the sire rather than the dam ?
1t is an in%disputable fact that many native
COWS are superior mixers and butter ma
kers, and this quality is transmitted to the
daughters in some cases, until a family ex-
lists. of local celebrity. This characteristic,
however, has generally been lost in the
course Of three or four genenerations, for
want of care in keeping up the regular line,
or by the yearly infusion OF blood OF base
or unknown quality. 1t is quite possible
that remarkable milking qualities in an in
dividual native COW might be perpetuated
to remote descendants, n even increased,
by careful selection of the sire and in-and-
in breeding. Bot that is the method by
which are produced, and requires skill and
intelligence of a high order, and years OF
observation and labor, With a good native
COW as the basis or stock, much anxiety and
time may be saved, by an immediate infu-
sion Of the fixed blood ofa thoroughbred OF
the desired type, and the result will always
answer the first question in the affirmative.
The calf will be better than the dam in
som respect and worse IN none. AS an ac-
cident or sport it is possible that the dam
might be a better mixer than the dam or
breed of the sire, and the calf taking the
type of the sire be inferior to her, but the
rule taught by experience is the other way.
In this case the characteristics of the off
spring are determined by the long known
law, that the longer a class Of nimal is
developed in a single line, the greater is
their transmitting power, with the more
certainty do they impress their qualities up
on offspring. The blood OF the dam having
no line descent, and with modulated force,
is overborne by the thoroughbred sire. The
oretrically the progeny of such a connec-
ton is more than half thoroughbred, and
should develop more than half of the sire's
stock qualities, in milk and form, There is
but little danger of reycrting to original
form il this method of breeding be adhered
to; but even ifthere We're, it is undoubtedly
the cheapest, quickest, and surest way to
develop fixed milking qualities from native

clerks window, took his position before a
chestnut stand and eyed the fresh nuts a
