DAIRY HEiFERS.
they Should BE Carefully Bred e.
Commence Milking Early.


Commence Milking Early.
A correspondent writes asking when,
In our judgment, heifers intended for
the dairy should be first bred. The
general opinion on the subject, and we
believe IL is correct, says Wisconsin
Farmer, Is that heifers intended for
the dairy should be bred so as to
come in with their first calves at about
two years old. The milking function,
carried TO the extent which good dairy
practice requires, is highly artificial
one. and early breeding Is one of the
steps necessary to the intensification
of the milking habit. II the heifer be
not bred early, she is likely to acquire
the habit of using the liberal though
not fattenng food she should have for
the purpose of making flesh. This. If a
habit, is quite fatal to the usefulness
Of the heifer intended for dairying.
Feeding, management, breeding, etc,
should be directed TO its prevention
without, however, starving or stunning
the animal. 1t, is alleged, with some
show of truth, that early breeding de-
tracts from the size OF the COW when
matured and also that it is likely to
have an adverse influence upon consti-
tuition. AS has been intimated, there is
probably some truth in both of these
objections to early breeding, hut the
world we live in is one to which we
must pay the price for anything we get
that is worth having.
Early Breeding.
IL is probable that the intensified
ton of any quality in the breeding OF
domestic animals is not attained with
out sacrifice of something else.
Sometimes the sacrifice is one that can
well be made, and sometimes 1t is one
that we would prefer not to make, but
in any event we must pay the cost OF
the quality we desire TO exalt. That
early breeding does reduce size and
scale is altogether probable, but these
are qualities that are not particularly
essential ia the dairy COW. and the
early breeding Is attended with conse-
quences much more important TO the
dairyman than any consideration OF
mere size. Ii is possible, too. that con-
stitution may suffer TO some extent
from early breeding but this. too. Is
one of the things that must be In part
endured and in part compensated by
the better care and greater attention

this respect.

early breeding included, and then al
low the COW to find her only shelter
against the winter blasts on the south
side of a wire fence or I'm the vicinity

and attention to the comfort Of the
COW are given, that should be given,
the fact that she is not quite so hardy
as scrub rustler would be can well be
endured and indeed must he endured
