: the dairy qualities from the sire. It thus becomes a self evident fact that the sire to be selected is the best paying investment to the dairyman, and he should therefore buy the very best he can afford. Even if he be compelled to milk fewer cows in order to buy a better bull, he will be much richer in the end. It is a penny wise and pound foolish policy to buy a cheap bull because he can be bought cheap, and it is positively suicidal to buy a "scrub" bull in the breeding of dairy cows. Therefore the breeder should look to the future and its possibilities and allow it to inspire his present activities.
