THE SAFEST WAY OF
INBREEDING CATTLE
There are many vague and foolish
dotlois entertained on the subject of
Inbreeding, says Hoard's Dairy tnnn.
Like everything else in this world thai
Is good for anything. It Is capable of
evil aa well as good result Knives
have been used to etab people, ropea to
hang tbem and water to drown them,
yet no man of common aenae would
fall on that account to make a right
use of knives, ropes and water. Thai
safest way of Inbreeding, ao far aa out
observation goes, la from aire to daugh
ter There la one rale that ahoutd al
ways be watchfully observed:
Never Inbreed heifer or cow -thai
shows a tack of constitutional vigor.
Keep that Idea foremost. Also, with
like pertinency, never Inhreed to a alro
who shows any signs of linking In coti
stltutlonal vigor. Now, within those)
two road fences It Is safe and very
often advantageoua to breed a daugh
ter back to her aire. This should la
practiced In breeding grade cowe
great deal more than It la done, with
close observance of tho foregoing rules.
It should always lie remembered that
Inbreeding Is an Intensifies It Inten
sities a weakness ut the same aa It
may Intensify strength, talent or ca
pacity In any given direction.
