The Holstcins have great digestive and
assimfative power. and from calfhood to ma
turity they nuke no choice as to tho quality
of their food: it Is only necessary that the
supply be ample Profitable dairy cattle
arc characterized by these two points, for
there Is no profit In those cattle that con-
sumo only the food of support. The profit
comes from the food consumed, digcstcd and

for dairy purposes In our country the time

in Holland they give no credit to the
theory that the functions OF milk giving an

seems to be no doubt of the correctness of
