Hoard once said, when speaking in Massachusetts on the subject of 

 breed, an old Yankee stood up and said it was not in the breeding, but all 

 In the corn crib. Hoard reflected a moment and then said, "You are the 

 man I have been looking for all these years. You say it is all in the corn 

 crib. Uncle, how would you feed one of those razor-back hogs to make 

 a Berkshire out of it? How would you feed a dairy cow 1 to make a Short- 

 horn of her ? Let me tell ycu that there is a liorse named J. I. C. that trots a 

 mile in 2:10 on 12 quarts of oats a day; yet I'll bet you have horses on 

 your farm that couldn't trot a mi le in four minutes if you had run ten 

 tons of oats though them. No, my friend, it is not all in the corn crib." 



DISCUSSION. 



Mr. Hostetter:— I would like to extend an invitation to have you 

 come and test my cows, and have them on your list. 



A: — Yes, sir; I think we can make arrangements, if you will see me 

 afterwards. I would like to meet any one after the meeting who is in- 

 terested in this testing. 



By the President: — If you live in the right place, Mr. Glover will be 

 pleased to meet and make arrangements to test your cows. 



FE.EDING THE, DAIRY HERD, 



BY M. S. CAMPBELL. 



Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: 



I am not much of a speaker. I was asked to come here and tell you 

 how I handled my dairy herd, and it will not take more than a few 

 minutes of your time.
