DANGEROUS BREEDING.

gree is still STRONGER" and II ia an
e"eS course or reasoning to the conclu-
sioii 'hht the more times this name ap-

'he more desirable the animal. or
course such pedigree building means
ihpreeuihg' one OF the most common
sources OF disaster to breeders It ia
true that inbreeding has produced won
derful results In the hands Of a few
masters, but 1t was necessary with
them to produce their type. Nova
days 1t Is not necessary. Type is not
confined to one family or branch Of
that family. 1t can be had and i'm
proved without resort to the dangerous
methods Of earlier breeders.
Another mistake closely allied to the
above Is to give undue Importance to
certain strains Of blood. In Short
horns, for example, the presence OF
Scotch tops has such an influence that
1t often sells an inferior animal for the
price Of good one. The buyer Of such
pays too much for pedigree that
somebody has built; he pays too much
for family. He departs from the rule

that the surest indication Of good

around seeking something that meets
his needs exactly, and h is q sure thing
that he will not be hunting over tho

made by rape. and this feed brings "a
