Note to the Teacher.—The business of dairying stead- 
ily grows in importance. How to build up a profitable 
herd of dairy cows is the obvious purpose of this lesson. 
The teacher can use the same steps in applying this les- 
son to other lines of live stock farming. The important 
consideration is the necessity of firm adherence to one 
line of breeding once the start has been made. At the 
same time seek to know what animals are best in the 
herd or flock and use these as foundation stock.
