DEVELOPED QUALITIES 



In selecting the Milk Records which would be a sure foundation 

 for a demonstration of Progressive Inheritance, it has been the rule 

 to transcribe those of the earliest published yearly returns which 

 had given the best results, the date of the records usually corre- 

 sponding. The array of figures, which may, as a whole be of interest 

 to the student of eugenics, will be seen to be only a fraction of the 

 material available. The breeder of the Red Polled will find that the 

 family he has in his herd has its representatives, and it may be that 

 he will thence get something that will be helpful to him. This I will 

 say, as neither breeder nor owner, that forty years' study of the evo- 

 lution of a new British breed of "dual purpose" cattle has been a 

 pleasant relaxation to the journalist. I hope the labour that ends it 

 will be serviceable to hundreds of folk on both sides the Atlantic.
