DAIRY MEETING. 225 



necessity of thorough work in connection with this kind of busi- 

 ness. The young man may purchase his feeds and get some- 

 thing out of the business, but he can grow those feeds on his own 

 land at less cost than he can buy them. It is not necessary to se- 

 cure any particular breed ; there are good cows in all breeds. It 

 is desirable, many times, for the individual to breed the line of 

 stock that he enjoys best, but more is derived out of the enjoy- 

 ment than out of any other feature in connection with it. Breed 

 the stock you like the best, handle it as it should be handled, as 

 your highest intelligence dictates to you to handle it, and then 

 see what results you are securing. You are not confined to 

 any one direction in this matter. There are possibilities in many 

 directions when your work is done thoroughly and well. I do 

 not know as I have any better word than this to leave with this 

 meeting.
