A cow, Beauty, after her third calf gave 2,051 gallons of milk in eighty-one weeks, and after her fourth calf 1,622 gallons in fifty-two weeks. A bull out of this cow was sire of sixteen heifers. These, after their first calf, yielded from 600 to 965 gallons of milk and after their second and third calves from 700 to 1,030 gallons per annum. Like many others, Mr. Evens believes that in breeding for milk "the bull is half the herd," and unless bulls are selected from heavy milking cows, which have been mated with bulls of a similar class, little success need be expected in breeding. Mr. Marshall, Riding Mill, Newcastle-on-Tyne, has regularly weighed the milk of each of his cows for a very long period, during which he has been breeding from his best milkers the milk yield clearly showing that the heavy milk-producing qualities of the dam have descended to most of the offspring. In the Newton Rigg Herd, at Penrith, belonging to the Cumberland and Westmoreland County Council, two pedigree bulls were used in succession. One of these was considered a good animal, and was ultimately sold at a big price. His offspring were good-looking heifers, but half of them were utter failures as milkers, while none of the others were as good as their dams. The other bull was out of a cow which had a good milk record for several years. Almost without exception every heifer begotten by him became an excellent milker. Four of the cows served by the first bull had heifer calves, and when served by the second one had heifers also. All the first heifers gave excessively small yields of milk--so small, in fact, that most of them were fattened and sold; yet their half-sisters, sired by Major Moss, gave good yields. The effect of the use of...
