many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either me. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
tinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together W
distinct breeds you are much more
apt to confine the poor qualities Of
both breeds in the offspring. AS an
example, and one that is commonly
practiced. if you breed a Holstein cow,
which produces a large quantity of
milk but pool in butter fat, to a Jer-
sey bull. a breed which produces a
small quantity of milk and rich in but
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt TO produce a heifer that will pro-
duce a small amount of milk, the char
acter inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat. the character
from the dam The reverse is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things. and also be-
ing able to buy the pure-breds of any
breed we many fancy. let us act
wisely in the matter and purchase our
foundation stock of pure breeding.
Surely, If we wanted a plow we would
not go to the store or factory and buy
a Syracuse beam. an Oliver chill mold
board. a South Bend landslide and a
Mount Joy point. and go home on the
back porch, take a clawhammer and
a monkey-wrench to make a pillow Of
these parts. Well, It is just as abb
surd to think we can make the differ
ent breeds of cattle fit together and
do the desired work well. -

beef cattle, or any others for that
