An inferior Bull Sure to Provo Costly
Investment.
The average farmer who is raising
his own dairy calves little appreciates
the net cost of cheap or inferior
bull when in search of an animal to
head his herd. This is well illustrat
ed in n herd of dairy cattle of which
we have very accurate data as to the
flow Of milk and the amount of butter
fat produced during the past four gen.
erations writes Professor NJ. w. Har-
per of Cornell university,
In this particular herd the condi-
ton. such as'the breeding of the cows,
the feeding and the management were
as even throughout the four genera,
tions as could be obtained in practice.
so that any marked increase or de-
crease In the production of the off
spring can be credited to the sire used
The first sire under observation got
three producing females that averaged
300 pounds of fat year. The second
bull even excelled the first. as he got
nine producing females that averaged
