Introduction of
Pure-Bred Sires
Various Plans Are Suggested
by the Department of
Agriculture.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The purebred dairy sire is the
greatest single factor in increasing
the acerage production of dalry cows.
This fact is generally recognized; yet
75 per cent of the dairy bulls in serv-
fce in the United States are either
grades or scrubs, Furthermore, ac
cording to the bureau of dairy indus
try, United States Department of
Agriculture, a survey of the 48 states
has shown that states or sec
tions of states having the highest
percentage of purebred dairy sires
are also leading in average milk pro
duction,

Feeding Sweet Milk
All of the successful growing rations
found at the Wisconsin station have
been built aroZnd milk, Professor
Halpin says. He prefers feeding the
milk in the sweet form, though many
others differ with him. The experi-
ments at Wisconsin indicate that
chicks will consume more milk
than sour and will do better on it,
says. The fact that sweet milk
out in the morning may be sour
