The fact IS, however. DR.. Mead will
be in his 10th year when tho next gov

The News can hardly agree with the st.
Johusbury neighbor that Dr. Mead shows
such signs Of age that he would be

he holds his age we'll That, however,
ii merely d matter Of opinien; The Call

when he was seriously contemplating

Nevertheless, it Is misleading for Dr..
Mead Ia ask that the governorship be
handed to him III his 10th year, because
Of the fact that some men are holding
responsible public Offices when they reach
that age. Would any large business
corporation think Of choosing man Of

Dairymen who are located on the
outskirts of 9. town or city usually buy
their cows. Some dairymen, especially
those who live on small farms, do the
same. They find that they cannot
secure room for calves and heifers.
Others with more room buy some and
rear some. When they are thu
brought in, supplies being as they are,
the hazard is frequently present Of
bringing in disease, and frequently the
cows do not prove entirely satisfactory.
Why would it not be good thing
for some, at least to become profess
sional breeders of dairy cows? The
reference here is not to pure breeds,
but to grades. Those who have large
farms and can, therefore, grow sup
plies of food cheaply may thus be in a
position to grow dairy cows for sale.
They could begin with cows that
were very common. They would, of
course, need to use pure sire of one
Of the milk-producing breeds. The
record Of the heifers would, of course,
have to be kept and the male calves
would have to be disposed of while
yet young. The record Of the cow
would be the guarantee of her ability,
and would be the correct gauge Of the
price. Such females would command
high prices. Those interested could
afford to pay them, as they would not
be buying at random. The prices paid
would probably be not much less than
those paid for the ordinary pedigreed
dairy COW.
Such establishments do not seem to
have yet come into existence, but there
should be room for them. They could
furnish cows guaranteed free from tu-
beeculosis and in many ways desirable.
The source from which good cows may
be obtained must be one of much in
terest to dairymen.
