The question of ''fashion" in pedi-

Correspondents is one which springs
perennial in the breeders breast, says
the Breeders Gazette. 1t has been
wrestled with by each succeeding gem
Grafton ever since discriminating
buyers of herd book stock first began
evincing preferences for this or that
particular strain of blood, and is proba-
bly, no nearer receiving its quietus at
the present time than it has been at any
former period. Those who hold that
there is little but the useful and prac-
tical worth considering in the case OF
pedigreed animals naturally develop a
deep antipathy to anything savoring of
attaching value TO cattle of any line of
descent without the full number of
pounds of flesh or milk insisted upon
by the most eXactlng of utilitarian
standards. On the other hand those
who find an indefinitely charm cluster
ing about names invested with an cx-
traordinary history in either sale or
shaw-ring, insist that the bare standard
of the butcher or the dairyman is not
always to be regarded as the best from
which to estimate values of stock main
tanned for breeding purposes. The Ga
zette imaglnesl that there lies some-
where golden mean in these matters
which will be found more worthy of
adoption than either of the two ex-
tremes. There is virtue in so-called
high" breeding lift be truly rich in
actual merit. There is world of wis
dom in the view that insists upon rigid
adherence to first principles and the
practical purposes for which each breed
is reared. In medic tutissmus ibis is
about as safe a rule for the cattle
breeder as it ever was for the Latins.
