unity of purpose. When a given community is specializing in the pro- 

 duction of some one or two breeds of cattle, it soon becomes noted for 

 these breeds, and prospective purchasers are attracted thereby to the 

 mutual interest of all those co-operating in the work. 



There is a great lack of proper organization among Michigan stock- 

 men today. It is true that a state live stock breeders' organization 

 exists, and also that there are a number of breeders' associations, and 

 one or two county live stock organizations. It would seem highly 

 desirable for most counties and perhaps some townships, to organize 

 live stock breeders' organizations. It would seem possible through 

 such organizations, to bring the live stock breeders into closer touch 

 with one another, and thereby present favorable opportunities for the 

 discussion and adoption of methods of breeding best suited to the inter- 

 ests of the community.
