REARING YEARLING BULLS. COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE. "To sell yearling bulls from tested dams and well backed by lines of producing ancestors for less tlian 20gs is an uneconomic proposition," remarked the president at the annual meeting of the Franklin Jersey Breeders' Club. One member claimed that it wad more profitable to raise grade bulls on cheaper land and sell them as two-year-olds at logs, while another contended that it was to greater advantage from a financial aspect to milk more cows and raise pigs than rear pedigree bulls. Finally a committee was set lip to investigate the different phases of the breeding of dairy bulls and to report to a future meeting. Officers elected .were: —President, Mr. W. Craig; vice-presidents, Messrs. J. H. Sherrard and W. H. Carter; committee, Messrs. A. J. Harris, A. Bost, W. le Bailly, R. J. Johnston, R. Waterhouse, D. Hosking, L. Wilson, H. S. Fleming, A. Mouldey, H. Wright, G. Yelchieh, A. Coggins, J. P. Reveil, E. Fielding. A. Sanford and 8. Cook: secretary and treasurer, Mr. D. R. Hamilton; auditor, Mr. G. Basha.ni.
