This shows the uecaaslty of using
great care In the selection of » dairy
•Ire.
The fact that the danglers of any
alre excel thvir dams in production of
butterfat Is a very important factor,
but tt la not the only factor to be
considered It makes a big difference
whether the production of the dam is
high or low. Some sires increased the
records of the daughters over fairly
high producing dams more than 40
per cent; other stree lowered the pro-
duction of the daughters almost a#
much below that of *lmllar dama. That
does not mean, however, that all sires
whose daughter# failed to province as
much as their dams should be sent to
the butcher. but it diws mean that, If
kept ut nil. they sliould be used to
improve lower-producing dairy herds.
