FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION 99 



but when cows have to be forced to get that production they are 

 short-hved. It is the same as with a person. That will not 

 necessarily hold true in every instance, but there are instances 

 of forced feeding for a test, and it stands to reason that such 

 forced feeding wnll in the end wear down the body of the cow 

 and she cannot continue. 



]\Ir. Jarvis : Will she be able to propagate her race? 



]\Ir. Smith : I see no reason why not, as long as she has 

 the strength. 



Air. Jarvis: Are the largest producers doing it? 



yir. Smith : I am not a breeder, but the tendency seems to 

 be that the high producers do continue to produce the high pro- 

 ducers, providing the proper sire is used. 



]^Ir. Jarvis : Does great production have a tendency to- 

 ward garget or mamatis during the lactation period? 



Air. Smith : It is hardly possible, unless the udder has been 

 injured or misused in some way that would bring on such con- 

 ditions. 



Mr. Jarvis : In other words, is there any dirt or contamina- 

 tion getting into the milk than that outside of the cow? 



Air. Smith : I don't see how it is possible. 



Air. Jarvis : Is garget or mamatis a good thing to have 

 in milk^ 



, Air. Smith : Certainly not. 



Air. Jarvis : How does it get into the pail ? 

 Air. Smith : Out of the cow.
