investigations, it would seem like a calamity for this herd to be broken 

 up and dispersed. Should some individual, or better, the U. S. Gov- 

 ernment, take advantage of the opportunity and acquire the herd, 

 they would not only have the result of forty years of experience, 

 but also avoid the difficulties and loss to be encountered in securing 

 the first cross. This herd of fifty catalo is past the experimental 

 stage, and only lacks the means for further improvement. 



The only other herd in which any experiments of a progressive 

 nature are being conducted, is that of the Dominion Government at 

 Wainwright, Alberta, Canada. This herd of twenty catalo was ac- 

 quired by the Dominion Government in 1915 from the late Mossom 

 Boyd.
