In the United States, where the building ujo of a profitable strain of dairy stock is being developed into A science, most lucrative tJo'sitionß are being secured by college graduates who have benefited by the special animal husbandry classes, conducted in the agricultural colleges of the States. These young students of daii'i- stock receive as much as £300 a Year, merely to t keep the records of a herd and study the ration problem. We^ have (says the New Zealand Farmers' Union Advocate, from which we Have quoted the aboVe paragraph) not reached the American stage yet, but we are approaching it. More than one owner of a purebred herd being developed along performance lines would be willing to give a big salary could the right type of man be secured to manage their herds las they should be managed. The other day a Scottish herdsman arrived in the Dominion, and was eagerly engaged by the owner of a pedigree dairy herd at a salary of £250 a year for himself and his daughter (aged nineteen) and his son (aged fifteen), and Ihis with free house, Milk, and mutton. There is also the instance of a Taranaki dairy farmer who finds it pays to give a married milker (but only for the labour of the man himself) £2 5s a Week with a bonus at harvesting time, which brings it up to £2 10s, and this with a cottage and milk.
