Y,. resulted in some inter eating discussion. He did nor, urge persons who wanted to enter the dairy business to buy a herd but to raise it, Start with a tew head and increase with nothing but the heat. He compared the efcafcof milk and butter fat’ from, a number of differ­ ent breeds. He explained that no One breed had- all the necessary qualifications and that by- cross breedi jgyou could not always get the best results. He could not agree with a great many people that the general purpose cow was the. thing for most -people. Calves should be selected and raised that were good prospects. Only those oi good constitution should be kept. He explained that Inbreeding often produced the best results. ’ But that the bes.frof indivjEduals from' differ* «nt breeds seldom ever produce the desired animal. Mr. Joseph E&vy of Xeniaopened the discussion and stated that he never wafta specialty man and that a general purpose wow gavehim the best resultsm his experience. He' favored a cross with the Short-horn and did notsucceedwith the Jersey. Adjournment was taken for the neon hour. The afternoon aessdonopened with k. hy M„r>.
