Who is the breeder of an animal ? The question dften crops up at agricultural shows, and the Otago A. and p, Society has taken .the lead in enL devouring to get an authoritative -.answer. Letters were sent to the various agricultural societies, throughout the Dominion, the question propounded being whether the breeneris the owner of the female at the time of mating or the owner at the time of birth. Replies of a varying nature were received, and it w.as ultimately decided to refer the matter to the Stock Committee for consideration .and report. One of the most direct answers wag in these terms: I •should .say that the man who matched the pair is the man who was using ■scientific knowledge towards a given end, and he should be considered the breeder, getting the credit if .the foal is a good oine and taking the odium if weed is produced.”
