depend upon purchase and others raise
calves enough each year to keep up the
number in the herd.
If these 10000 cows were as much
superior to their dams as they could be
made by proper methods of breeding,
this state would soon attract the atten-
ton of the whole world because of the
high average production of its dairy
cows. The aim of the breeder should
not be merely to secure reproduction,
but to secure animals that are superior
to their ancestors.

ment it is not necessary to establish
new types or breeds. The Jerseys,
Holsteins, Guernseys, and Ayreshires,
respond favorably to our conditios.
The first step in improvement is to
stop at once the crossing of breeds and
the use of grade or scrub bulls. There
is not much hope of improving herds
by buying cattle, for not often do our
