an Important Claim That IIas Been yeri-
fed by Experience.
1t is a settled fact that tlere are ami
mails that possess the quality of a more
perfect assimilation of food for the pro-
duction Of milk than others, and it is
not unreasonable to suppose that GER
tain breeds possess this quality to a
greater degree than others.
Under what may be termed average
conditions an animal is of little or no
use to the owner unless he is able to de-
rive profit by keeping it. In the dairy
a good animal is the one that will
proftably convert feed into milk, but
ter or cheese. In this, quantity is not
the only consideration, neither is quail
by. Both are important, but the cost
is rather more important than all else.
There must be liberal quantity and
the quality must be good. At the same
time both must be secured at cost
that viii leave fair per cent. of profit
If rightly managed. And there is more
certainty Of doing this with certain
breeds than with others. There may
be individual animals in all breeds that
excel IN some essentials. as there are
Others that fail almost as regularly.
Yet, generally, there are breeds that as
a class can be depended upon to convert
their excess of food, the amount over
and above what is necessary to sustain
animal life, TO Vlilk and cream, and this
Characteristic is in the breed to an ex-
tent that it can be depended upon to
transmit this quality from parent to
offspring. Prairie Farmer.
