The BREEDING Of a Cow.

The question of the possible milk
yield of a cow depends chiefly on her
inherent milk yielding capacity. This
is an hereditary quality and, such be
ing the case, the milk yielding capacity
OF herd Of dairy cows can largely be
increased by careful selection and
breeding. In herds where large milk
yield is desired, special attention must
therefore be paid to the drafting into
the herd only those heifers which have
been bred from the best, or, a. any rate,
good mixers. The heifer calves from
poor or indifferent mixers, should on
no account be retained, as they Will
have inherited the poor milking quail
tiles of their mothers. BY selecting the
heifers as Just described, and continu-
ing this process for a sufficient length
of time, the average milk yield of a
herd will be considerably increased.
In some instances, the selection as
regards the dam of the heifers retained
for placing in the herd, is judiciously
carried out, but little or no attention
is bestowed on the question whether
the bull used for serving the cows
comes from a deep milking strain and,
besides this, has "a heavy mixer for its
dam. On the contrary, not infrequent-
~ entirely unsuitable bulls are used in
our dairy herds-bulls, it is true, which
perhaps have pedigrees as long as ones
arms, and which would please almost
any judge but whose services in a
dairy herd would better be dispensed
with. The use of a bull whose dmmedt-
ate female ancestors We're, or are, poor
mixers, in a dairy herd, is much more
to be deprecated than the breeding
from a poor milking COW and retaining
her produce
1t must be remembered that the bull
influences the milking qualities of all
the heifers in the herd. This evident
fact is frequently overlooked entirely.
Unless, therefore, the breeding of the
bulls used for service in the herd is at
tended to, little and uncertain progress
can be made in the Improvement of the
milking capacities Of the heifers bred
and which are eventually drafted into
the dairy herd. In fact, by breeding
from a bull descended from a poor
milking strain, the benefit accruing
from retaining for breeding purposes
only good mixers is to a greater or
lesser extent negatived, according to
the degree of prepotency of the bull!
Only If both parents are descended
from good mixers can it be expected
that the progeny will be good mixers
This is due tc the fact that deep
milking generally comes from good
milking families, and that their milk
yielding capacity is an Inherited quail
ity. and not Of accidental appearance:
If it were not so. it would not for GER
tain be transmitted to the offspring

the matter is that they will use the

little chance of succeeding. They may
deceive Parker and HIS managers, but
they cannot deceive the people of this
