Exotic or foreign breeds (eg: Jersey) are selected for long lactation periods, while local breeds (eg: Red sindhi) show excellent resistance to diseases. The two can be cross-breed to get animals with both the desired qualities.

The desirable agronomic characteristics for crop improvements are:

(i) Tallness and profuse branching in any fodder crop.

(ii) Dwarfness in cereals.

These desirable agronomic characteristics help in increasing crop productivity.

Tallness and profuse branching are desirable characters for fodder crops. Deafness is desired in cereals, so that less nutrients are consumed by these crops. Thus developing varieties of desired agronomic characters help give higher productivity.

Gulliver was travelling in a ship. One stormy night, the ship was wrecked. Six of the crew„ members including Gulliver got into a boat and rowed. They were overturned by a big wave but Gulliver managed to reach an island, as he was a swimmer. He felt hungry and tired. So he slept on a patch of grass. When he woke up, he was unable to move his hands, legs, head and body.

He was tied up with slender strings on each side and attached to pegs fixed on the ground. Later Gulliver understood that they were Lilliputians who were not six inches high. When Gulliver tried to free himself, the Lilliputians fired dozens of tiny arrows into his hand, face and body, until he was calm.

Gulliver asked for food and drink by signalling to-them with gestures. Gulliver slept ’’again and then he was transported to the capital on a large platform with twenty- two wheels pulled by dozens of four-and-half-inch horses. More than one hundred thousand Lilliputians came to see him. The Emperor received him and lodged him in an old and unused temple. After a few weeks, they decided that Gulliver meant them no harm. So they freed him. Gulliver stayed with them by helping them in many ways.
