SnOULD WE EMULATE? (By Tclceraph.—Sccqial CorresnoncienU Auckland, October 3. ' ' A young 'New Zealander, Mr. -'W. C. King-, of (he Waikato, lias just returned after studying veterinary surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, where he obtained tho degree of veterinary medical doctor. Speaking to a reporter, Mr. King remarked that he had visited a number of veterinary schools in England, and found tliein'ii little behind the times in the way of equipment and methods, as compared with the Amorican schools, which were assisted by Hie State, and were probably ahead of any similar institutions elsewhere for up-to-date methods. Tills had resulted in farmers taking particular caro in having nothing but purebred cattle on their farms. The system of weeding out has been carried on, and has resulted in the gathering together of magnificent herds, and some of the individual yields of milk were onormons. In the matter of securing a pure supply of milk. America was ahead of New Zealand, the milk supply being obtained from cows that were certified as being free from tuberculosis,. and the milk was known as "certified milk." The management of live stock in America was in the hands of a State Department called The' Live Stock Sanitary Board, and this board issued certificates to such sires as rare considered' found after an examination by a State'veterinary surgeon. "• The work of the board was keenly appreciated by farmers, and the good results in the raising of the standard of -the stock were apparent everywhere in tho States. .'
