trade has been for cuts Of beef that
are taken from over the back and the
loin and the other parts mentioned, be-
cause the beef found in these regions
Is more suitable to the taste, richer
In its flavor, more tender, better
grained and. in fact, more to DO de-
sired than is the meat which is found
in the neck, brisket, plates and In
those portions considered the cheaper
part Of the animal. Because Of the de-
mand, the better parts Of the animal
have demanded q higher price and,
consequently, the animal which Ii
most greatly developed In these high
priced cuts Is the more valuable ami.
NAL, and because Of the fact that like

been necessary to breed animals the

mand that has caused the breeder Of
beef cattle to produce an animal that
would convert every possible portion
Of its feed into beef and fat and lay 1t
over the top Of the back. the ribs, etc.
During this process Of breeding up, he
has paid very little attention to milk
production, probably due to the fact
that It is a most difficult thing to pro-
duce an animal which has the power

Of folly to say to the feeder of beef
cattle that he should use upon his
farms dairy COWS because, besides sup

produce twice as much milk and but

NAL that would convert every possible

to do was to develop an animal that
after consuming and digesting large
amount of feed would assimilate 1t

ers Of beef cattle their results have
been wonderful and they have to q
large degree accomplished their end;
but In so doing they have developed
an animal radically different in form
and conformation from that which the
producer of beef cattle has developed.
Instead of being rectangular and
square in form and covered with beef
from one end to the other, they have
produced an animal that is wedge
shaped, open jointed and angular In
form. Now, they have not produced
