what breeding -of thoroughbred
cattle will.do. Jones hasa talent
for raising cattle and an eye for
judging a good cow. . He. pro-
duced in fact the world’s greatest
milk machine— Spring Farm Pon-
tiae Lass, with a record, of 44. 15 |
pounds of butter in seven days.
He sold that cow for'$10,000, but
he still holds ther sire and. her
dam, and as a result all the cattle
on his farm are close blood rela-
tions. The evolution of the milk
machine has been slow. There
have been many old notions to
dispel, and many new ones to be
discovered. Pontiac Lass has
many things i in her favor which
cows our fathers: kept had not.
For instance it’ has been learned
that if she were milked but twice
a-day her production would dim-
ish. At first it would’ be: merely.
a case of: suffering” on her part,
but at length she would be ont of

gives. some ‘very. good ‘advice in
regard. to the selection of breed-
ing stock. SE
““At present in Canada the dual

able for the peneral, farmer,.and
the seleetion. of the strain. within
the breed is. more important than
the choice of a breed.
