Note to the Teacher.—This lesson teaches how cer- 
tain breeds have been evolved to meet the needs and 
circumstances of the people in the land of their develop- 
ment. The physical character of the soil has had much 
to do with the choice of occupation, and this is reflected 
in the kind of live stock produced by the people. A milk 
or butter breed is not a mere chance result; it is the out- 
come of a people and a soil.
