Of course, there are all grades between the beef and the milch types, for many farmers use their herds for both. However, if a farmer is producing milk it pays him well to get the best possible machine to make it, and that is always a cow of the right type. LESSON CLVIIL A GEOGRArHY LESSON. Purpose.—To make the pupils familiar with the agricultural condi- tions in the countries where these best breeds of cattle have been developed. All the best breeds of cattle have been evolved in the British Isles and in Europe north of Italy and east of Russia. All our domesticated cattle were developed from wild cattL" of Europe and Asia. The cattle which roam in our rap- idly narrowing grazing lands of the far West are European cattle. America had no wild cattle except the buffalo.
