Excerpt from Use of the Camera in Studying the Growth and Development of Dairy Animals
Photography has come into daily use as a means of educating and entertaining mankind. Aside from the cinema, which has a place in the lives of most human beings, photography functions ceaselessly through the press and countless publications to carry visual news and records of events to millions. Even the illiterate are able to follow the course of events shown in pictures. History of to-day and of the past decade is recorded by the aid of the camera in a manner more nearly complete and more easily understood than was possible before the development of photography. The camera is finding a constantly widening field, and its application to scientific studies is proving that photography is a useful tool for those who are seeking to unravel nature's secrets.
A plan which has been carefully and systematically worked out for photographing dairy animals in the herd of the Bureau of Dairy ing at Beltsville, Md., is of great assistance and value in the dairy cattle breeding investigations which are being conducted in that herd. It was realized very early that if the pictures were to be of the greatest value they should be as nearly as possible on the same scale, of a uniform position, and taken at regular intervals. In addi tion, a careful record of the dates must be kept in order to affix a correct legend to each picture.
