From Male to Female.

In paper read before the New York
breeders convention by Valancey Il.
Fuller he said; 1T is law which
seems to run through the animal ms
well as the human race that the fe-
male transmits her characteristics to
the male and the male to the fe-
male. The COW is governed by this
law and therefore does not transmit
to Il heifer calf those qualities which
have made her so desirable as Il pro-
Queer of milk and butter, but 20 the
bull calf. and the sire is governed by
the law that the male transmits such
qualities to his female offspring. While
there may be exceptions to the law, vet
1t is the experience of breeders that
they are usually disappointed in the
heifer calves they raise from their best
cows. The knowledge that great pro-
ducing power is transmitted generally
by the sire To the heifcrs should cause
breeders TO use only u sire from tie
best COW In u herd and not to expect
the good COW to reproduce her good
qualities In her heifer calves"
