The dairy and beef qualities are seen to be blended to a considerable 

 extent in the F^ offspring. Even with this blending, however, domi- 

 nance and recessiveness may be discerned in the crosses. The beef 

 qualities are, in general, quite pronounced in the head and fore quarters 

 of these hydrids. The dairy qualities seem to predominate in the barrel 

 and hind quarters. This conclusion is further supported by a study of 

 some exact measurements taken in various parts of the body of these 

 animals. While the number of cows having these measurements is 

 relatively small, they do show several interesting points. Taken with- 

 out regard for their probable errors, the head of crossbreds with Angus 

 blood is somewhat shorter in length and broader between the eyes than 

 crossbreds of the dairy breeds of the same age. The girth at the last
