OF GALLOWAY
 CATTLE AND ASIATIC YAK

Recently d tract of 280- acres ot land adjacent to the Fairbanks Agri- cultural Experimental Station was re- served for further experiments with cattleyak at that station. Five more head of pure Galloway cattle were shipped through Anchorage recently, says the Anchorage Times. These cattle came from the Kodiak station and will be used at Fairbanks to in crease the number of hybrids.
 Cattleyak are crosses between Gal loway and Asiatic yak. In 1919 sev- eral head of yak were brought to Alaska for the experiment. Crossing was successful, and the hybrid ami mays possess the hardy characteris- tics of the yak parent and the beef ness of the Galloway.
 Resemblance to the yak is mani tested by the long hair on the body of the hybrids and in their capacity to browse on willows and aspen. Dur ing the early spring the hybrid ami malls strip the bark off the young trees They resemble the Galloway parent in shape of the animal and in the characteristics of the hair having guard hair and underhair which pro- tects them from severely cold weather The quantity of milk pro- duced is small, but it is rich in butter fat
 The hybrids have proved to be good hardy rustlers, and it is believed that they will be able to utilize the native grasses which now go to waste in the vast river valleys of the interior of Alaska
