Blood Tails n the Dairy.

The dairy calf has an inherent claim
to be well born. 1t is her birthright.
1t should have had the privilege Of de-
scending from parents with good or
excellent record for dairy production.
Its ancestors should have been bred
along a definite line for a definite end.
Its sire should be a good, pure bred
dairy bull, selected because Of his abil-
ity or expected ability to stamp his
qualities upon his offspring. If he Is
q mature bull so much the better. NO
farmer or breeder can afford to own q
poor sire. The dam should be az well
bred as possible, commensurate with
the owners capital and experience.
Under all circumstances the dam
should be well nourished. A man that
WIN partially starve pregnant cow Is
devoid Of good cow sense Starvation
may result not only from giving insult
ncient feed. but In giving feed of a
wrong character. A cow kept exces-
sively fat on corn slower and cornmeal
may still be starving the calf.-D. 81.

only one demand-that the sire be
pure bred or registered. One should

the ancestors Of the animal In ques-

male ancestors be large producers OF
