In selecting a br ccd Of cattle,
1t is hard to get two men to
agree on what makes an all.
round COW. After they agree
on that, opinions differ so much
as to the merits Of various
breeds. that one is pretty safe
IN selecting the one he likes
best. Both the Red Poll and
the Short Horn men claim good
milking qualities for their
breeds; but different strains of
either breed vary in the amount
of milk given. The Aberdeen
Angus and Hereford men do not
so generally claim high milking
qualities for their breeds, but
claim to have better beef ani-
mails. The owners OF each
class cannot sec how owners of
the other classes Tan think as
they do. while the onlooker an

can find 40 much to disagree
about. \ man who is starting
TO build up a herd can afford 10
give some consideration to the
different CLAIMS made for the
various breeds, but he can na,u-
rally expect such claims to be
made full strong. 1t is very
certain tina, any OF these breeds
will get far better returns than
