REPORT OF THE BUREATT OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 



Using the above figures as a basis for calculations there should be 

 no difficulty in arriving at the actual cash value of the influence of 

 pure blood among the cattle of this country. There is good reason 

 for believing that while the breeders who kindly made reports re- 

 garding the comparative value of stock took into consideration the 

 better quality of the beef produced, through the use of good bulls, 

 they did not generally take into account the higher value of the dairy 

 products, arising from improvement in the stock yielding those 

 products; therefore, it is safe to assume that the figures presented 

 herewith understate rather than overestimate the difference in fuvor 

 of high breeding.
