Other characteristics, which have not been mentioned, may need to be considered; but the color will enable us to determine the breed in the great majority of A Galloway cow n. THE BEEF TYPE AND THE DAIRY TYPE H. H. Wing Cattle are kept for two purposes: for the production of milk and for the production of beef. These two purposes make quite differ- ent demands on the vital energies of the animal. For this reason, by selection through many generations of those animals, on the one hand, that are best developed for meat production, and of those, on the other hand, that give the largest amount of milk, there have arisen two types more or less distinct in forni and certain other characters, one known as the " beef form " or type, and the other known as the " milk form " or type. It must not be supposed that these two types are entirely distinct or separate, for the cows of the beef type always give some milk, and animals of the dairy type will furnish beef of reasonably good quality when properly fattened. Then, too, while the types may be readily recognized in the best-developed individuals of either, there are a great many animals of intermediate form that it would be difficult to assign to either type, since the two types tend to merge into each other by very gradual gradations. The chief differences in form that distinguish the beef and dairy types are: I.
