Two cows stand side by side in the stable. To both cows the same ration is fed, yet one will extract (am that food as much again butterfat as the other. The butler product of the food is 100 per cent. 'greater with one cow than the other. This fact is seen in too great frequency in all herds of eows. What, is that inner: quality whereby ono cow can produce so much more than the other from the same food? It is hard to and the right name for it, but 1t may be palled "dairy quality."

One would think that, there would not be a dairy farmer in the land who would not be keenly alive to the necessity and economy of using such cattle for dairy purposes.

But the so-called general purpose no. teen has destroyed in a few men the' power to look into. this question (n an economical way.` They seem to in un- able to take the same advantage in their choice of 'cow machinery that they do rn'clroosing their mechanical machinery.
