PLAGUE OF THE DAIRY FARM.
THE CULL COW. A suggestion was made by Mr P. B. Fitzherbert at the last meeting of the Dannevirke Chamber of Commerce that the Government should be urged to bring in legislation in regard to the sale of dairy cows. Many cull cows, were, said Mr Fitzherbert, now sold to the unsuspecting as dairy cows, and, in his opinion, it should be an offence against the law to sell a cull as a dairy cow. It was well known that some cows passed from hand to hand at the sales simply because they were culls sold as good dairy cows. After some discussion, in which it was pointed out that the question was a difficult one to deal with, it was decided to refer the matfer to the A and P. Association. Commenting on the above suggestion, the News says the question is one that practical farmers would be glad to see discussed. The difficulty, however, is to define a cull cow, but in referring the matter to the A. and P. Asoociation, it will be discussed by a body of practical men well qualified to express an opinion. .
