DO AWAY WITH SCRUB STOCK
Registered Bull Calf Can Be Obtained
at Reasonable Figure-MiIk Flow
Increased.

(By o. H. HANSEN of the dairy hus.
bandry division, Minnesota College OF
Agriculture.)
Why should anyone be satisfied with
scrub cattle? 1t is true there are not
enough purebreds for all, but the hef
ers from scrub herd will be Won
derfully improved over their dams If
they are sired by q good purebred bull
from productive dam. A registered
bull calf can be had at a reasonable
price from dam which has made
creditable record, and the offspring Of
such bull proves the wisdom of the
investment. 1t is a known fact that
in many cases the milk produced by
the heifer of such q bull is more than
double that of the DAM Neither
these animals nor their offspring will
ever be purebred, but the continued
use of a first-class registered dairy
bull of the same breed will in few
years result in a herd that may equal
in production many purebred herds.
