SIRE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.
Little Study Of Results Of Breeding
Necessary to Show Value Of
Head Of Herd.
tBy R. B. RusH1Na.)

We have all heard the saying that
the sire is half the herd. This is liter.
ally true. That is. of the qualities
bequeathed to the calves 1.-THE parent
furnishes half. and generally more,
The COW influences the character of
but one calf year; the bull passes
on his personality to many calves, to
all the calves Of a herd Of ordinary
size. When he is chosen, half the
character Of all the calves is deter.
mined. thus, his influence is as much
as that of the whole number Of cows
taken together in the herd.
II he is of stronger prepotency thah
most Of the cows, that is, able I'd
transmit his qualities more surely and
strongly to the progeny, which is
usually the case with well bred sire.
then the bull represents more than
half the herd. In this case more than
half the characteristics Of the calf. or
the stronger and predominating half
comes from the sire. thus he is more
than half.
So the sire may be much more than
half the herd whether judged by the
strength. quality, or accumulated eff.
feet, of the characteristic he trans.
mits.
1t is true, however. that the sire
may thus wlthinla few years. at slight
expense. completely transform dairy
herd and more than double its profits.
Then is he not good investment?

which connects with the water tank
for cattle. we use an elbow with q
piece of gas pipe about l6 inches
long turned down SO that the circu.
lation Is good in this tank, the water
going in at the top and out at the
bottom. All the water for cattle must
pass around the cream where the
cream can Is set as soon as we have
finished separating. If you don't care
to go to the expense of buying gal
jvanized iron tank only having small
amount of cream. buy a barrel and
saw 1t in two as this will hold two
or three shot gun cans of cream and
will be better than nothing. In case

The dairy population OF the United
States is about 21,0O0,000. or one COW

only about $500 pounds a year, or
roughly, five quarts a day on the av-,

in the country eats about 20 pounds of
butter each year. Very little butter
is imported. Each person takes only
