54 JOURNAI, OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. — JuLY, 1922. 



niceh- placed udders. Many farmers look for the row with black 

 or mottled teats, and for that reason for a bull with a black scrotum. 

 iS'ow the scrotum of the bull has nothing' to do witli the teats of his 

 prog-eny. If cows with black or mottled teats are required look for 

 the bull with the black or mottled rudimentaries. 



Of course, for the farmer wlio wants to improve and who Avants 

 lo be certain of what he is breeding, the only animal he can use is 

 the pure-bred dairy bull. It is a recognized fact in breeding that 

 the older and truer the blood, the more able is the animal to give 

 his progeny the good qualities he possesses. Now the cross-bred or 

 grade bull cannot have that strength, and the farmer using such an 

 aniinal may, instead of improving, go backwards in the dairy quali- 

 ties of his stock. 



The Need of the Daip.y Cow. 



The great difference betAveen the beef and the dairy type cow 

 is that in the days of plenty the beef-type animal lays up a store 

 of fat, and during the bad season when there is little to eat in the 

 veld vshe is able to live a long time on her stored-up fat. Not so 

 the dairy type. In the days of plenty she converts her food into 

 milk, and Avhen the bad times come she has nothing to fall back 

 upon, and, of course, is bound to get in a poor conditio]). For that 

 reason, and also because she wants a considerable amount of food 

 to convert into milk, the dairy cow is an animal that has to be fed. 

 The saying " the better you feed your cow, the better she feeds you " 

 is a true one. Besides having a very highly developed nervous 

 system, she requires good care and attention and kind treatment, 

 and will react very quickly on anything to the contrary.
