 breeding and rearing, including methods of feeding, &:c., of 

 their stock. 



The Ministry will be glad to furnish the name and address 

 of the Live Stock Officer of any particular district on applica- 

 tion, and also to supply more detailed particulars of the Milk 

 Eecording Scheme to any farmer or association of farmers.
