A QUESTION OF COLOUR.
RED AND WHITE HOLSTEINS. An. inquirer writes to "Hoard's Dairyman" as follows on a question that should interest Holstein breeders:— "Wo have a registej»d Holstein bull. He was bred to a brindYo cow and calf is red. Wo had several hundred calves from our previous Holstein bull, and all the calves showed Holstein markings. Now the question has arisen, is the bull not puro Holstein because this cnlf was red ':" The reply given is:— "fied and white Holsteins are often found in Holland. In this country (Canada) they are not eligible to registry. It is not at all surprising that now and then a black and white purebred Holstein bull should throw red and white calves, for undoubtedly the remote ancestors of a great many Holstein cattle were red and white. M'e do not see that there is any redress unless the breeder of tho animal guaranteed that he would be a getter of black and white animals." Chick-rearing is not only profitable, but a pleasure, when yon feed "A and P" Chick Kaiser. It is a. complete and pro-' perly-blended food for Young Chicks. Obtainable from all storekeepers.—Advt.
