In these days any dairyman who
wants registered animals o f any o f the
approved breeds cau get them if he
will but make the effort, says II. E.
Alvord, chief o f the dairy division of
the bureau o f animal industry. The
beginner in registered dairy stock can
liot be too strongly urged to buy and
breed on the basis o f individual and
fam ily merit and dairy record, and not
upon pedigree alone.
Pedigree is o f great value and should
be well studied; it is the best guaranty
that the calves to come w ill make good
cows.
But the pedigree should be
supported by uniform excellence in the
fam ily and by evidence o f merit in the
particular animals bought.
Although
the investment is greater, there is
greater certainty o f good results if ma­
ture cows are bought which show
what can be expected o f them, if they

T r p lo s l Color o t the Brood s a d tho
F a v o rite I s Franoo.
Commeutlug on an article in the N a­
tional Stockman and Farmer on Per-
clieron color, the L iv e Stock J o a n s ]
says; Some farmers want Imparted
stallions, and they want thorn black,
and our largest I’ ercheron breeders are
Importers as well. There Is no antago­
nism between breeders and Importers.
The importers buy what sens best, the
largest and beet draft stallions they
can get. Our supply of pure brad Per­
t-herons In Am erica Is entirely Inade­
quate to the demand, and not all are
large enough. The color mania la pure­
ly the prejudice o f the farmers who
want black stallions, and this oompela
the Importers to buy blacks at the
highest prices and to leave behind
many good dapple grays of superb
quality, but the stallion company and
the Individual buyer say they must buy
s black stallion because the farmers
will not breed to the gray.
I f our farmers would buy stallions
regardless o f color they could buy them
much cheaper, but the price Is of far
less consequence than these restric­
tions. They want a good big stallion,
and black color prejudice Is an expen­
sive luxury.
The city teamsters pay a premium
j for the handsome grays, and moat o f
the heavy d raft teams In large cities
1 are gray. They are more attractive In
' the city streets. The teamsters think
they ihisscss more o f the old gray Nor­
man quality. The gray color Is the
typical color o f the l ’ercheron horse
and the favorite color with the French­
men who breed blacks to please the
Americans, hut grays for Trance. Our
Importers would much prefer Import­
ing the best stallions without regard to
color. Otir largest breeders do sell
their Imported stallions fo r about dou­
ble the price o f home bred stall loos be­
cause the buyers prefer to pay the
price.
