Abstract
On the arid, sparse, phosphorus deficient pasture of the Vryburg district of the Cape Province, grading up of scrub cattle, by combining the introduction of pure bred bulls with the feeding of bone meal to the cows, is attended with great success so far as shown by the first crossing. Remarkable differences in favour of the mineral supplement are shown, in respect to reduced mortality incidence, increased fertility of cows, and superior development of calves.
