I'lVaid-ent Woods says: ‘‘l have no D ithy with individuals or ore, ansncions that so. 1: xo serums snee ,-ss by l irdo: ing or retarding the \v rk of mother. I trust we have ( ighor parnar-o; am! ambitions.

Their sneer,ss in, in a noaeui’c, c.nr success: their i {forts materially assist ns. We are alike mutually interested in the otic kindred ■.abject, dairying. I say all hail to very stock and daily association on the continent’. We are with yon heart, soul, and pockothook, to favoni every possi hi a dairy into rest.” This anper.ihnmiant onthnsiasm of many Molrein breeders has loci them o.yoml the meter ami hounds justified hy piulen.cu and tin; farts, as is proven hy me following merited “Call down” they recent'y received from the great's!, !i\ ing authority on dairy cat tic : •‘Hoard’s i)air\man” has always in•istrd that a good Holstein cow is an ■xeelle.ot animal and docs not need my questionable claims made in her arm:i such as the one that her nilk has a special and peculiar vitality not found in tin.* milk of other breeds; oi that she is able to convert the roughage of the farm into milk and milk products more advantageousthan other dai: v breeds.” The Holstein people raise quite a how! about this plain ftatoment of farts, because it let much of. tiro gas nit of their highly-inflated hrlloou. i'.he Holstein people are trying, very hard to make themselves believe in .Tic vitality no user so. They t'.v to deli do themselves with the idea that the d.v.r public actually swallows bait, ■ took and all. Some Indians believed that if they ate the heart and drank the blood of the bravest men they mm .acred, it would give them their victim’s courage. Some food faddists or.meilv argued that fish were peculiarly adapted for brain food. Science ms long since, 'exploded nich ideas, .ind this Holstein vitality boomerang if- on a par wit h the -above beliefs. Tiro Holstein may make more butter than the, .Jersey, hut she can not nake as much profit. Others may nake more noise and bigger c I rims, ant ihe Jersey quietly chews her cud I’.’d delivers the goods. Others might ’’ rob I hy this example and not handicap their favourites by making claims t.mt are not warranted by farts. 'l ac Holstein camp has always pok'd Inn at the Jerseys because cf their ■■T.aJlm'r.s, and made great claims for the Holstcins hocauea they arc so •men larger. Judging from the same .bandar,d, probably our Holstein iHondo wouldn’t want a geld watch because Ir.gorooll dollar wntefcoa arc m muc.ii larger'. jViavbo the clinuor’datc r.izo tlrat kept time i’r.r William Penn would. be, still more satisfactory ; or t.he Holstein camp. ■ Inasmuch as (tavoi nor Hoard is tiro wm'd's groatort authority on dairy •a tile, his opinion about the relation al size and production is interesting as.well as convincing. He say,:: “Jn this business of breeding, wo need more than anything else a systematic -truly of what may bo called' the true economic size and weight. Wc have ■•• rid before and will again repeat, that, in cun - belief, there are more •rood cows under llOOlhs. weight than tiror,:; are that exceed that weight.”.
