same strain, and very much like the
| females, the offspring will be fairly
uniform and the calves from the best
producers can be selected, unless they
show some physical weakness or
other reason for not being taken into
the herd. When the herd is to be
composed of grade animals the sire
should be pure-bred, and If possible
the selection Of the females to main
tain the herd should be made when
they are old enough to be tested, and
the selection made on their individual
merits. When it is necessary to Sc
lect the females before they can be
tested they should be from dams that
respond the quickest to the changed
environment Of the herd.
The most Improvement can be ex-
pected in the first generation, as there
are likely to be many reversions in
the second generation, some being
much better than their dams and
some much poorer. BY this time the
offspring of the best producing fe-
males can be selected for the herd,
as a line of breeding will have been
established. If the bull produces Off
spring that are uniform, strong and
vigorous, he can be safely bred to his
own daughters, as inbreeding is the
greatest factor in preventing rever-
sions, but If another bull must be pro-
cured he should be related to the old
one and resemble him as much as
possible.
However, no matter what attention
is paid to the breeding of herd it Is
all lost unless the feeding and care
of the herd are what they should be.

results of careful breeding and selec-
tion are soon lost by the farmer who

to be satisfactory; but authentic rec
ords should always be obtained when
possible.

be selected from the COWS that show
the greatest increase because of the

too much care cannot be used in his

CHIEF POINTS OF DAIRY COWS.

By far the most important factor
in the breeding up of dairy herd Is
the sire. He should be of a breed
best suited to the conditions and re-
quirements of the herd. If the herd
is small, and first-class sire is in
the neighborhood 1t might be cheaper
to hire the bull than to buy one out

STARTING WITH SMALL CAPITAL
The following essay was presented
at the New York State Fair by G. O.
Carman, of Johannesburg, and was
awarded first prize:
There seems to be no doubt that the
best way to form dairy herd with a
small capital would be to begin with
few good dairy animals and increase
the herd with the female progeny
until the desired number is reached
In forming such a herd the question
of pure-bred or grade would naturally
arise. While the first cost of the pure
bred stock would be more, it would be
expected that the value Of the herd
would be CORRESPONDENCE greater. In
either case care should be used in Sc
lecting animals adapted to the pur-
pose for which the herd is intended,
market milk or butter production. A
herd that is established for any par
ticular purpose and bred for num-
Der of years to that end would de-
teriorate if sire bred for some other
purpose was used, thus changing the
line of breeding.
The manner of starting the herd
would depend on the amount of cap
ital and the length of time before 1t
would be necessary to realize profit
from the herd. If the capital would
allow, and quick returns were needed,
the purchase of few good COWS In
milk would give the quickest returns,
or, if circumstances would allow,
calves could be purchased instead.
This latter would probably be the
cheaper way if pure-bred herd was
being founded, as the animals could
be selected from herds that had been
bred through many generations for
the particular purpose for which the
herd was intended, and the chance Of
getting calves that would make inferi-
or dairy animals would be much less
than when calves are purchased that
have been bred in bore haphazard
manner.
If calves are to be purchased the
selection would have to be made on
the performances of their ancestors.
1t would be better if this could be car
ried back four generations, to be sure
that there is no inferior animal in
the pedigree, and that all animals
mentioned in the pedigree should be
as uniform as possible. A mistake
is often made of breeding two animals
of widely different characteristics
with the hopes of combining the de-
sirable qualities of both. Even if the
result was accomplished in the first
separation, the succeeding genera
tions would be liable to show large
number of inferior animals. When
grade calves are to be used to found
herd they should be selected for
individual merit, and the qualities of
the sire, as all Improvement in the
breeding of grade herds must come
through the sire, which must be the
best animal that can be obtained, and
pure-bred.
The selection of the COWS to found
a dairy herd should be based on their
past performances. The Babcock
test and the scales will give a very
good idea of what can be expected of
them under the conditions in which
they have been kept. If the environ
ment is improved, an Improvement in
production can be expected. If no
past record of the animal can be OBJ
tanned, it will be necessary to make
the selection on individual merit.
