Webster and M. M. Gardner. PEE FACE. This book includes all tests of registered Jersey cows, which were made before January 1, 1884, in the United States or Canada, and have been properly reported to us by the owners or other persons making or superintending the tests, 'iehere the actual yield for seven consecutive days was fourteen pounds or more. Intended originally as a mere continuation and enlargeijient. of a list published in the Country Gehtleman of February 23, 1882, it has grown to its present dimen- sions by force of circumstances. The lists of 1882 included some tests reported to have been made on the island of Jersey, abd a number of others for periods less than a week. But an association has recently been formed or the island to superintend and publish tests, so that we decide to omit the island tests. As the tests under seven days are of all lengths from one to six days, it did not seem to us that the labor of collecting and classi- fying them would be repaid by corresponding usefulness on their part. The seven-day test is quite short enough and is generally accepted as the standard of comparison. We hav3 required the signature of the owner at the time of the test, or of the person who actually made it, to be published with the test, as the only satisfactory evidence of its accuracy that we are in a position to offer. We have not presumed that a person of good character will certify to a statement which he does not know to be correct, and if the person so certifying is of indifferent or doubtful reputation, the publication of his name Ought to be the best way of bringing that fact to light. We have adhered to' this rule, even to the extent of rejecting several tests strongly supported by other evidence, and probably correct, but lacking the certificate of the person making or superintending. Two reports by a man whom the club has discredited by rejecting his entries have also been thrown out. 4: PREFACE. When we came to revise the list of 1882 and incorporate it with the new one, some errors were detected, and it was found that the original evidence in the case of a few tests, then satisfactorily certified to us, had been lost or mislaid. These tests, four or five in number, consequently appear in this book without the names of the persons making them. No effort has been spared to have our lists as complete as possible. We advertised in the leading stock journals, sent circulars to all mem- bers of the American Jersey Cattle Club, and mailed applications for information to every person that we could hear of as at any time the owner of a cow for which a test was claimed. This part of our work was extremely laborious, and we have to acknowledge our obligations for valuable assistance in it to Mr. J. H. Walker, of Worcester, Mass., and Mr. J. L. Sha,llcross, of Louisville, Ky., who kindly permitted us to have copies of extensive lists which they had compiled for their - private use ; also to the officers of the Club for information furnished from the ofiice of the secretary. The whole number of reported tests investigated by us was about twelve hundred, and as many of the cows had passed through the hands of a half dozen owners, ten or fifteen letters frequently had to be written about one animal. Some of the tested cows had very long pedigrees, going back ten or twelve generations, and to print them ,in full would have delayed the publication of this book and added seriously to its cost. A little examination showed that all that was valuable or instructive in a pedigree was almost invariably indicated in the first three crosses, or could be added in a brief foot-note. We decided therefore to tabulate the pedigrees only to the first three crosses, showing every animal which gave as much as twelve and a half per cent of its blood to the tested cow. Where a cow has a seven-day test and also a longer test, she stands in our tables on her week's test. This is the case with Jersey Belle, of Soituate and Eurotas. In a njimber of cases, tests longer than a week, and indicating excellent capacity, are reported for cows which have no seven-day tests. These are thrown together in the table marked No. II. Table III gives all bulls which have sired three or more cows in Tables I and II ; Table IV, all cows which have produced two or more PREFACE. 5 daughtei"s in the same tables. An important addition to the table of bulls is the number of their registered daughters, classified by ages. Some inaccuracies may possibly be found in this list, as its compilation involved searching the first thirteen volumes of the register, animal by animal, for the get of each of the twenty-three sires. From the very large number of cases in whicb the feed was reported, we have selected as many as seemed necessary in order to give an idea of the average p;:'actice of breeders, or to illustrate the methods adopted by those who have been successful in testing. A few wholly exceptional and extraordinary cases are also noted ; the reader will easily distinguish these. Of course in a work dealing so largely with detached and inde- "pendent facts and figures, some errors are likely to have crept in, but we hope they will not be found frequent or serious. We shall be under obligations to any persons who may detect mistakes, if they will point them out to us for correction. NOTE. When w& decided to prepare short commentaries upon the facts in this volume, the work, after due consultation, was divided between us, and each has selected his own topics for discussion, without, how- ever, being at alt confined to them. We have written without attempting to harmonize our opinions on any of the subjects mentioned, believing that whatever differences of opinion really exist, should be freely expressed. Mr. Gardner, being much occupied in business, has declined to write. The reader will please distinguish sharply between the facts given in the body of our book,'which have been canvassed and examined by us all, and the individual opinions expressed in this introduction. mTRODUCTORT ESSAY. BY CAMPBELL BROWN. It is but three or four years since a few breeders of Jersey cattle became satisfied that the only way to ascertain the dairy value of their animals was to test them separately for butter. For a long time after the first introduction of Jerseys into America the English idea con- cerning them prevailed and prevented their becoming popular or gen- erally valued. That idea is best expressed in the following quotation from"Youatt on Cattle": "They are found mainly in gentlemen's parks and pleasure grounds, and they maintain their occupancy there partly on account of the richness' of their milk, and the great quantity of butter which it yields, but more from the diminutive size of the animals. Their real ugliness is passed over on these accounts, and it is thought fashionable that the view from the breakfast or drawing room of the house should present an Alderney or two grazing at a little distance." Among the first writers to controvert this pre|)osterous estimate of the Jersey, and to call attention to her real practical value was Col. Geo. E. Waring. His letters to the American Agriculturist and his able essay prefixed to Vol. I of the Herd Register may justly be said to have laid the foundations of their present popularity. The first volume of the Herd Register appeared in 1870, but it was ten years before the tests of Jersey Belle, of Soituate and Eurotas, reported by that adroit and eloquent writer, Hark Coipstock, drew attention to the necessity of testing singly every cow in a herd as the only sure method of ascertaining her value. Even now, although every breeder recognizes the direct pecuniary value of a butter test, and cattle are sold less upon fancy points or appearance than on actual butter production, testing is by no means so general as it should be, or is bound tcT become during the next few years. The breeder who neglects to test his cattle will find them neg- lected by the public, no matter how fashionable their pedigrees or how good their looks may be. Even when Mr. W. J. Webster and I began, INTEODUCTOET ESSAY. in 1881, to compile the list which I published in 1882, although sup- ported by the majority of breeders, our work was disapproved by a large and conservative minority, who failed to comprehend the neces- sity of showing to the public that the breed was unrivaled in the particular province of butter production. Some of these gentlemen stood out very obstinately against progress in this direction, but one by one they have fallen into line, until now there seems more danger that the value of butter tests will be overestimated and their signifi- cance exaggerated, than there is of any want of appreciation of them. The tables which we have prepared will enable our readers to make their own comparisons of different families and strains of cattle, and to draw their own conclusions. I do not propose to discuss them at length, but it may not be improper to direct attention to a few of the points that tave appeared to me legitimate and necessary deductions from them. 1. LEADING FAMILIES. ' I see in tKem no ground for the idea that any one family is entitled to pre-eminence. There can be no question that some families are better than others, and it may be that during the next six or eight years enough progress will have been made in testing to enable us to say, with some degree of confidence, that ten or twelve families or tribes stand out from the mass as of superior excellence. But the figures now give no ground for claiming in behalf of one, two or three strains any decided superiority. The truth seems to be that in those families where most tests have been made, most good cows have been discovered, and just as the trotting-horse is recognized as the production of the American trainer, quite as much as of the American breeder, so the prominence of certain families of Jerseys is due as much to those who have tested and developed them as to any inherent merit on their part. This view is supported by the fact that we rarely receive a single report of a test from any breeder — they usually come in twos and threes — showing that when one cow proved good, the discovery of other good ones immediately followed. I know one herd which eighteen months ago contained no cow that had tested fourteen pounds. It now has eight, and none of them added by purchase. Moreover, as soon as a wonderful test is reported in any family, the owners of cows of the same blood immediately begin testing them, and the result is that a number of tests to the credit of that blood are reported in a short time. It seems likely indeed that the general excellence of the breed is still underestimated, and that with the spread of the habit of testing we shall be treated to a succession of surprises in the %vay of newly INTOODUOTOEY ESSAY. / 9 discovered prodigies, while we shall acquire a higher and more acoui-ate opinion of the true value of the Jersey cow. It is stated on good authority that during the year 1883 one hundred and ninety new performers entered the list of 2.30 trotters. Of these forty-one per cent were by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, his sons and grandsons, fifty-nine per cent of all other families combined. Of the latter, twenty per cent additional are more or less closely related to Hambletonian. There can be no dispute therefore as to the fact that his blood occupies the first rank among trotters. With the Jerseys it is totally different. Out of about five hundred tested cows, mentioned in this book, no one bull, his sons and grandsons, can claim as many as six per cent, and no single sire has more than two per cent to his credit. There are, in Table III, twenty-three sires, each with three or more cows in Table I, but all these twenty-three sires combined |iave not as many as thirty per cent of the whole number. Suppose, instead of considering the whole number of fourteen-pound cows, we take a few of the very highest weekly tests. The highest of all is that of Princess 2d, whose yield of 2'7lb. lOoz., under official super- vision, was made since our lists closed, but ought to be considered in this connection. She was by Khedive, P. S. 103, out of Princess, F. S. 452, Khedive by Leo F. S. 198, out of Coomassie. The pedigree of Princess is not traced, and for my present purpose it is unnecessary to extend that of Princess 2d further. If then we take the six highest tests, they are as follows : Princess 2d 27.10 Mary Anne of St. Lambert's ; 27.09J Nancy Lee 26.08^ Jersey Belle of Scituate 25.03 Value 2d , 25.02^ Hazen's Bess ^ . . . '. 24.11 It would be hard £o find six cows more entirely strangers in blood to each other than these. If the reader will compare their pedigrees as given in this volume, I believe he will find absolutely no indication of relationship between any two of them. If we take all the cows above twenty pounds, the result will be somewhat less striking, as there are several families which would have more than one representative; but it will not be less decisively in support of the proposition that no family or families can claim the first places with any fair prospect of continuing to hold them. If it be objected that the seven-day tests are not as full and accurate indications of merit as those for a month or a year, I grant that this is probably true, but we have not enough monthly and yearly tests to form any fair basis of comparison. Not more than ten or a 10 INTEODUCTOEY ESSAY. dozen of each are reported and of the live best yearly tests of registered cowa, only two — those of Eurotas and Mary Anne — appear to have been conducted with the intention of finding out all that the cows could do. The others were made in the ordinary course of dairying. It will be time enough to begin tp compare yearly tests when we have fifty or sixty on hand. But it is worth remarking that the best month's test is accredited to Princess 2d, that also has the best week's test, and Mary Anne, second best for a week and for a month, is first for a year. This looks as if the short tests indicated pretty fairly what the long ones would be. •2. FOECE ATSTD VALUE OP BUTTBE TESTS. I have intimated that there was now more danger of exaggerating than of underestimating the value of butter tests. It would have been safer to add " as at present conducted." He who will carefully ' examine the tests, nearly five hundred in number, reported in this volume, will find that they were made under such an infinite variety of circumstances, as to age of the cattle, feed given, season of the year, climate, pasture, mode of working and salting the butter, its quality, its pondition when weighed, etc., that it seems hardly fair to compare any two of them together as equally good indications of th^ actual capacity of the cows. These variations, of course, can never be quite gotten rid of, and many of them are apparent rather than real. For ^instance, a cow of eleven or twelve years old may be as much past her prime as a cow of three or four is usually short of it, and full summer pasture, before flies are troublesome, may be a pretty fair equivalent for full winter feed, while a thermometer below zero may not interfere more with butter yield than a moderate swarm of gnats, a worrying dog, or an ill-tempered milkman. To regard tests made under such widely diverse conditions, as accurately indicating the relative value of individuals, would be to give them an importance they hardly deserve. To use them as approximately correct guides to the selection of a herd is rational and proper : and as absolute proof oi the practical value of Jerseys for the butter dairy, and as showing for that purpose an excellence unri- valed in any other breed, the value of the evidence afforded by them cannot be overestimated by Jersey breeders. A few of the weak points of butter tests, as at present conducted, may be briefly mentioned. Most of those reported, while differing from each Other in many respects, agree in one important feature, that they do not exceed the bounds of what may fairly be considered ordinary dairy treatment. But some, and among them some of the largest and m6st notable — some supervised by appointees of Jersey INTRODUCTOEY ESSAY. 11 breeders' assooiationa — are reported as made under such extraordinary conditions as to food and treatment as could not be used in a dairy, nor followed with profit by anyone for any length of time. What I mean when I say oi-dinary dairy treatment, is such treatment as prac- tical dairymen have, at various seasons and in different places, found profitable for themselves and safe for their cattle. To milk and feed twice daily is the ordinary dairy practice, to milk and feed thi'ee times is still within the limits of legitimate' dairying, and is prac- ticed by a few ; but no dairyman feeds his cow five^ six or seven times daily with six or eight different kinds of food, wakes her at 3 or 4 A.M. to milk, milks at noon, and again at 9 or 10 p.m., or puts her to bed with a posset of oatmeal gruel. What a cow can do with such pampering and stimulating treatment is undoubtedly a question of some interest, and what she accomplishes may be regarded as an extra- ordinary feat of internal gymnastics, but it is certainly no fair or accurate sign of her actual dairy capacity, nor does this mode of test- ing afford a fair standard of comparison with other cattle. We are fortunate in having a conspicuous instance of both modes of testing, in the case of a cow of perhaps unrivaled constitution ; and her owner, my personal friend, I think will pardon me for saying that th,e yield of Mary Anne, of St. Lambert's, when she made in seven days>twenty- four pounds and thirteen ounces of butter, on five quarts of grain twice a day, and pasture, ought to be regarded as a much more certain and probably a higher indication of working capacity than her twenty- seven pounds, nine and a quarter ounces, made with thirty quarts of grain daily, at five feeds. -I name her as the only animal that I "remember to have been tested upon both plans. Her owner's report of her largest yield, if I do not misinterpret it, seems to show that he regarded it rather as an interesting proof of her immense constitution than as a performance more meritorious than the best that preceded it. The question whether tests should be reported in salted or unsalted butter is one deserving brief discussion. My own experience is, that unsalted butter is a very uncertain quantity, and whether it will gain or lose by salting depends largely upon how it has been worked before the salt is put in. One morning last summer two or three friends met at my dairy. While there the question was raised wbether butter gained or lost by salting. The cream of the herd was placed in two churns and churned simultaneously. Butter came first in the smaller churn, oqarse-grained and yellow, and was washed in several waters, worked dry in a Held butter worker, and weighed. It was then salted, the salt being weighed in, one ounce to the pound, was reworked and re weighed. It was a strictly gilt-edged article, and was immediately packed. for shipment. Here are the weights : 12 INTKODUCTOET ESSAY. Unsalted, well washed dry butter , 17.06 Salted and reworked 17.03 Loss in ounces 3 Particular attention is asked to the other churning. The butter came too soft, but of excellent color, and was treated precisely like the other sample, except that it was too soft to be passed through the butter worker, and the salt was worked in, and the water and brine apparently thoroughly worked out by hand. Unsalted, well washed soft butter 28 .03J Salted and reworked 29.04J Apparent gain 1 .01 This sample was too soft for packing or making into rolls, but to a casual observer it would seem about as dry as the other, and to need only cooling in order to be marketable. But my dairywoman at once pronounced it full of moisture, and insisted that it be put aside and reworked the next day. I therefore took charge of it, and next morn- iag it was reworked and weighed again, making only 26.08-^ of strictly marketable butter. Here we have an apparent gain in the first instance of seventeen ounces, but a final loss from original unsalted weight of twenty-seven ounces, and from extreme salted weight, while soft, of forty-four ounces — nearly one ounce and one and a half ounces to the pound respectively. This is a rather extreme case. Subsequent experiments led' me to the following conclusions : 1. That if the butter is worked unwashed, or is washed in clear, water, it will lose by salting, and the loss will average from one-half ounce to one ounce to the pound. 2. That if it is washed in a brine of moderate strength, it will gain by salting — seldom, however, as much as one-half ounce to the pound. 8. That if washed in a very strong brine, it will gain about the weight of the added salt, but will contain quite too much salt to be a first-class table butter. 4. That if the butter is worked, washed and salted in the usual manner, then set aside for twelve or twenty-four hours and reworked, it will be fair to compare it with any other sample that has Leen simi- larly treated. On several occasions I weighed ten pounds of butter apparently ready for market, kept it twenty-four hours, reworked and reweighed it. The loss in one instance was as much as four ounces. This was in very cold weather at midwinter. There would probably be less loss during spring and summer, as the salt would strike through the butter more rapidly. INTRODUCTOKY ESSAY. 13 8. EXTERNAL SIGNS 6P BUTTER CAPACITY. Some of these appear purely fanciful and have never gained much currency. Such is the " upper fount " — a ciirl of hair on the spine, back of the withers, considered by the few believers in it to be the more valuable indication, the further back it is found toward the hips. One gentleman relies on " the fatty protuberances under the end of the lower jaw"; another attaches great importance to the dandruff in the end of the tail ; another to the length of the tail, and so on. But there are others of these external signs which are more or less generally relied upon, and which it is worth our while to consider more in detail. First of these is the escutcheon. In the new and accurate translation by Mr. Hand, of Gu^non, on Milch Cows, I find this broad statement : . " The form or pattern of the escutcheon indicates the class to which the animal belongs, while the extent of surface covered by it denotes the milk-giving capacity. This extent, varying in a decreasing proportion, gives rise to several orders, in which I range the members of each class. The fineness of the hair of the escutcheon, and the color of its skin, indicates the quality and quantity of the milk. " In all the classes and orders the escutcheon is the sole indicator of the inter- nal capacity of the udder, so that if the escutcheon is large, we can pronounce, without hesitation, that the internal reservoir is large, and the yield of milk will be abundant ; while if the escutcheon be small, the reservoir is small, and the yield of milk will be small." Hence those cows which have large escutch- eons, composed of fine hair, are the best milkers, especially if the skin, from the inner joining of the thighs to the vulva, is of a yellowish color, and if on scratching it with the nail we can detach little scales of a fatty substance. Those animals in which this latter characteristic is found in the skiUiOf the switch and of the inside of the ear, yield a milk very rich in butter, whatever be the quantity, and whatever be the class or order to which they belong." For several years after I began breeding Jersey cattle, I was a firm adherent of this system, never dreaming that there could be any ques- tion of the correctness of statements so positively and dogmatically set forth. I worked hard to familiarize myself with the system, read with avidity everything that was published concerning it, and was rather dismayed than pleased when I found that it could not be adjusted to the facts which forced themselves upon my notice. It is not, therefore, from inattention or prejudice, that I am forced to express my disbelief in the Gu6non theory, as at present expounded by its advocates. Like all other purely empirical systems, it probably rests upon some foundation of truth, but until considerable progress has been made in perfecting it, the breeder, who trusts it as ' a guide, is likely to do so to his own pecuniary loss. If the escutcheons (rf a hundred or two of the best tested butter cows in the country 14 INTEODUCTOET ESSAY. could be accurately photographed and measurements made of them, we should have a starting point from which to begin an intelligent investigation of the theory. In the absence of such data, I give from several sources descriptions of the escutcheons of a few noted cows, which fail to fit in with the Guenon theory. First of these is JVIercedes, the great Holstein cow that won the Breeder's Gazette Champion Cup for best thirty days' yield of butter, in 1882. Prof. J. W. Sanborn, dean of the Missouri Agricultural College, saw her at the St. Louis fair last fall, and here is what he says : " In the different breeds, I attempted to study the marks of a good cow, and especially the escutcheon. Each breed seemed to have a type of escutcheon pecliliar to itself. Mercedes surely might be expected to carry a good escut- cheon and milk veins. She certainly was not extra strong' in either of these respects, not strong at all in the escutcheon. My day's work did not settle a conviction regarding the escutcheon.'' Col. M. C. Weld has just been to see Mary Anne, of St. Lambert's, and winds up an excellent account of her appearance with these words : "Escutcheon, selvage of medium breadth." Last year, in compd,ny with several other breeders, I made a visit to vDarlington, and carefully examined the great cows there. My notes were made on the spot and submitted to one of my companions as we returned to New York in the train, few his corrections. I believe they are fairly accurate, and make these extracts : " Eurotas — Escutcheon good on thighs with very peculiar downward running streak, like an immense oval, except that it is connnected at the top with the hair of body. This is plainer on the right side than on the left. ' Escutcheon does not ' go out like a spread-eagle on thighs,' as has been saidj but is only a good thigh escutcheon, by no means phenomenal." ' "Bomba — Escutcheon a good c irve-line ; no tufts, curls nor ovals." "Neither of these escutcheons was at all unusually good, nor was Jersey Queen of Barnet's any better." About a year ago I had a visit from a friend who was a firm believer in the escutcheon, and after discussing it for awhile I pro- posed that we go out and examine a few tested cows. Our examina- tion was made in the following manner : One carried Guenon's book, the other Hazard's. Eac^ looked at a cow separately, and put down what h^ considered her escutcheon to be, without knowing how the other rated it. We then compared notes, and found but one or two discrepancies, which we reconciled. We examined some twenty cows, but I mention only the two which had given over twenty pounds, viz : Croton Maid, then here to be bred, and Duchess of Bloom- field. Of these the first had a bicorn escutcheon of the second INTRODUCTORY ESSAY. 16 class, and the second a nondescript escutcheon, more like a bicorn of the third class than anything else, but not agreeing with any of Gu^non's classes. Here are six cows, of which four wo&ld fairly be ranked as phenomenal, and the other two strictly first-class, yet not a first-class escutcheon among them. If I be told that the examiners were incom- petent judges, I reply that a system which a man of barely ordinary intelligence cannot master in seven years -^ for I was seven years trying to learn it — is not likely to prove valuable to the average farmer, and needs revision and simplifying. Other marks relied on are : yellow hide and ear ; yellow horn ; oily yellow dandruff at end of tail; large milk veins. I examined Eurotas at the end of April. It must be. remembered that her year's test is one of the richest ever made. . It has been stated that her butter was of inferior quality, but Mr. Carpenter assured me that this was an error, and it was fully up to the average of the herd. It was not so yellow as Jersey Belle's, which was peculiarly golden, but it was good in color and texture. Now, in April 1882, Eurotas had a palish hide, a pale udder, a very pale ear, and the dandruff in her tail was dry and dar^, not golden or waxy. Bomba had a chalky horn, heavier than that of Eurotas (though the latter had lost both shells), black tipped, a pale hide, which seemed a little thicker than Eurotas', but equally mellow, a pale udder and pale ear. Jersey Queen of Barnet had rather better colored hide and ear, but her udder was of a chalky white. Next day I saw COomassie and her grand family, including Ona. Their hides and udders were also pale, and while the Island scale of points allows one for length of tail, which is supposed in some mysterious way to be connected with milking capacity, a short tail is characteristic of the Coomassie family. The color of hide, ear and udder is so largely influenced by the season of the year, the food and other considerations (I have heard that a sea-voyage always made the hide white), that it will not do to attribute too much importance to it ; while a golden-yellow skin is undoubtedly very attractive, and, I believe, usually indicates yellow butter. It has not with me turned out to be always a sign of rich milk, and in one case a cow of very yellow skin gave me paler butter than the average of the herd. As to milk veins, young cows are apt to have small ones^ and old cows large ones. I have never got beyond this : a good cow is pretty certain to have good milk veins when she is matured. 16 inteDditctoey essay. how to beeed the butter cow. If we may not trust ourselves confidently to the guidance of exter- nal marks in the selection of our cows, but must depend alone on the churn and the scales, w6 are much in the position of the breeders of thoroughbred horses, whose favorite maxim is : " Breed to the winner." In doing this, there are a few well-established principles that should be borne constantly in mind, and there are one or two popular super- stitions of which we shall do well to rid ourselves. When the problems of breeding first began to be discussed, the great rule was formulated that " like produces like." With this confession of faith the English breeders of racehorses and improved cattle long remained satisfied. Afterward it was discovered that in many instances " like did not produce like," and that the pro- geny varied in ways most puzzling and disappointing from the charac- teristics of their parents. The principles of atavism and reversion were then gradually recognized, and to the original axiom, " like pro- duces like," was added the saving clause, " or the likeness of some ancestor." Broadly interpreted and liberally or metaphorically read, this statement may be accepted as fairly truthful. Literally con- strued, it would be most misleading. The child is not the mere repetition of the type contained in one parent, nor can it be a colloca- tion of the qualities of both parents, unchanged and uncompounded. Opposite or hostile characteristics may so combine as to obliterate or more correctly, to neutralize each other, thus setting free to act certain other elements which in the parents lay nearly dormant or over- • shadowed by stronger traits, and creating in the child a character which at first sight seems quite unlike what we should have expected. Moreover, two or three children of the same parents, inheriting of course the same blood and the same tendencies, may, and usually do, by the different manner in which those tendencies combine, differ greatly from each other as well as from their parents. There is a very common idea that gifts or faculties are more likely to overleap one generation and reappear in the next than to follow the direct line of descent. We often hear it said that a great man's grand- sons are more likely to inherit his genius than his sons, and the same is expected to prove true of the lower animals. On this erroneous opinion are based several incorrect theories of breeding. It is well, therefore, to quote the words of a writer, whose authority in such matters is of the highest. Francis Galton, in his work on Hereditary Genius, at page 60, speaking of the relationships of the great judges of England, says : '' Another fact to be observed is the nearness of the relationships in my list ; also, though a man has twice as many grandfathers as fathers, and probably INTEODUCTOEY ESSAY. 17 twice as many grandsons as sons, yet the judges are found more frequently to have eminent fathers than grandfathers, and eminent sons than grandsons. In the third degree of relationship the eminent kinsmen are yet more rare, although the number of individuals in those degrees is increased in a duplicate proportion. When a judge has no more than one eminent relation, that rela- tion is nearly always to be found in the first or second degree." And on page 83, referring to certain tables which he has compiled, he states the law of heredity : "Table III shows in the most unmistakable manner the enormous odds that a near kinsman has over one that is remote, in the chance of inheriting ability. Speaking roughly, the percentages are quartered at each successive remove, whether by descent or collaterally. Thus in the first degree of kin- ship the percentage is about 28 ; in the second, about 7 ; and in the third, IJ." To apply this law to the case before us, it follows that we cannot dispense with individual excellence in sire and dam, hoping to find the want of it supplied by inheritance from more remote ancestors, and that the top crosses in a pedigree are many times the most significant and valuable. After getting back beyond four or five generations, the more remote ancestors seem to have very little influence that needs consideration. If I were to attempt to describe an ideal Jersey pedi- gree, it would be one where every cow to the fourth generation had made twenty pounds of butter in a week, and every bull to the same degree had been the full brother or the son of one such cow and the sire of another. And I would rather give up this requirement for all the sixteen great-gre%t-grandparents than for either sire or dam. BREEDING IN AND IN. This method, also called with more exactness incestuous breeding, is a great favorite with many theorists and has been practiced with some strains of Jerseys to a notable extent. I propose to discuss it under two heads : 1. Is incestuous breeding ever advisable? 2. Is it advisable in Jersey cattle as we have them today. It is well here to make a distinction of vital importance. That system of inbreeding which consists in reuniting, at some distance from the parent stock, several scattered lines of descent from a famous common ancestor has always commended itself to the judgment and! fancy of breeders, and has been a valuable factor in the improvement, of m.ost varieties of domestic animals. But the continued inbreeding of mother and son, father and daughter, or, worst of all, brother and sister, without any admixture of fresh blood, and carefully avoiding such mixture, is what constitutes in-and-in breeding. There is a. 18 INTEODUCTOKY ESSAY. general opinion or impression that such breeding has often improved domestic animals and rarely injured them, while it is generally acknow- ledged that it has usually proved fatal to the human race. My reading and observation incline me to doubt whether, the benefits derived from the system in the past have not been greatly exaggerated. In discussing the question whether incestuous breeding is ever advisable, I shall illustrate this branch of the subject entirely by references to the history of other breeds of cattle and other varieties of domestic animals, as I have already intimated that there are peculiar features in the origin and history of the Jersey, to separate her case from others. The advocates of incestuous breeding maintain, 1. That it fixes the type of animal to be perpetuated, or, in other words, establishes the breed. 2. That the breed once established, it -intensifies the ability to transmit qualities by inheritance, or, to use a phrase now very common, increases the prepotency of an animal. 3. That great breeders like Bakewell, Colling and Bates used it successfully and to advantage, in their day, therefore it will be wise for us to imitate them now. Let us investigate these propositions a little and see how far we can admit their correctness. The history of the foundation of any improved breed of animals, in a country like Great Britain, has ,been about as follows : Sqme clear-headed man has appeared, made up his m.ind what was wanted, selected from all the country rourid the animals best suited forhis purpose, brought them together on his farm and there judiciously crossed them and bred their progeny together, selecting such individuals as most nearly approximated the desired type, and carefully rejecting all inferior or undesirable animals. Used thus, the family soon becomes reduced in numbers, the best specimens are necessarily more and more closely related, and presently incestuous breeding is ventured upon without immediate apparent ill results, the animals so interbred being the very best of their race. The careless observer sees the inbreeding, but not the causes which lead to it, or the careful selection which precedes it, and attributes the result to what is a necessary consequence of the scarcity of suitable material and an imperfection, or, at best, a mere accidental feature of the system adopted. As Bakewell's example is probably more often adduced than that of any other breeder, in behalf of in-and-in breeding, I quote rather freely from the accounts of his methods given by Youatt in his works on sheep and cattle, and by Prof. Low in his " Domesticated Animals of the British Islands." Youatt says : INTEODTJCTOEY ESSAY. 19 "It was about the middle of the last century that Mr. Bakewell, of Dishley, in Leicestershire, first applied himself to the improvement of the sheep in that county. Up to this time, very little attention had been given to the breeding of sheep. " Mr. Bakewell perceived that smaller animals increased in weight more rapidly than those very large ones; and that they consumed so much less food that the same quantity of herbage applied to feeding a larger number of small sheep would produce more meat than when applie4 to feeding the smaller number of large sheep, which alone it would support. He also perceived that sheep carrying a heavy fleece of wool possessed less propensity to fatten than those which carried one of a more moderate weight. Acting upon these obser- vations, he selected from the different flocks in his neighborhood, without regard to size, the sheep which appeared to him to have the greatest propensity to fatten, and whose shape possessed the peculiarities which he considered would produce the largest proportion of valuable meat and the smallest quantity of bone and offal. " The sort of sheep, therefore, which Mr. Bakewell selected were those pos- sessed of the most perfect symmetry, with the greatest aptitude to fatten, and i'ather smaller in size than the sheep then generally bred. Having formed his stock from sheep so-selected, he carefully attended to the peculiarities of the individuals from which he bred, and, it appears, did not objecting to breeding from near relations, when, by so doing, he put together animals likely to pro- duce a progeny possessing the characteristics that he wished to obtain." He adds that the faults of the New Leicesters were delicacy of constitution, want of prolificacy and deficiency of fleece, — all results of in-and-in breeding. Since his day, they are quite supplanted in public favor by other breeds. Prof. Low's history of Bakewell's methods is almost identical with this. The improvement made by Bakewell in long-horned cattle is described by both authors in nearly the same language, and to quite the same effect as the above. I quote Youatt's account : " Improvement had hitherto been attempted by selecting females from the native stock of the country and crossing them with males of an alien breed. ' Mr. Bakewell's good sense led him to imagine that the object might better be accomplished by uniting the superior branches of the same breed than by any mixture of foreign ones. On this new and judicious principle he started. He purchased two long- horned heifers from Mr. Webster, and he procured a promising long-horn bull from Westmoreland. To these, and their progeny, he confined himself ; coupling them as he thought he could best increase or establish some excellent point, or speedily remove a faulty one. " As his stock increased, he was enabled to avoid the injurious and ener- vating consequences of breeding too closely " in-and-in." The breeding was the same, but he could interpose a remove or two between the members of the same family. He could preserve all the excellencies of the breed without the danger of deterioration; and the rapidity of the improvement which he affected was only equaled by its extent." 20 INTEODUCTOEY ESSAY. Here we have the process skillfully and, in the opinion of this eminent writer, successfully applied. Now for the result. It is again Youatt who speaks. The italics are mine : " But what has become of Bakewell's improved long-horn breed ? A veil of mystery was thrown over most of his proceedings, which not even his friend, Mr. Marshall, was disposed to raise. The principle on which he seemed to act, breeding so completely " in-and-in," was a novel, a bold, and a successful one. Some of the cattle to which we have referred were very extraordinary illustra. tions, not only of the harmlessness, but the manifest advantage of such a system ; but he had a large stopk on which to work ; and no one knew his occasional devia- tions from this rule, nor his skillful interpositions of remoter affinities, when he saw or apprehended danger. " The truth of the matter is, that the master spirits of that day had no sooner disappeared than the character of this breed began imperceptibly to change. It had acquired a delicacy of constitution inconsistent with commop, man- agement and keep ; and it began slowly, but undeniably, to deteriorate. Many of them had been bred to that degree of refinement, that the propagation of the species was not alujays certain." , As to the Collings, Youatt distinctly denies them the merit of having materially improved the breed, and says : " Great credit is due to the Messrs. Colling for the herds they reared and disseminated ; and while it is true that in their career they had the best herds then in existence, it is equally true that they never bred better animals than they procured originally, with which to commence breeding. "The obvious and great merit of the Collings was, that they brought the Short-horns into general notice out of a local reputation, and made them as well known abroad as they were in the valley of the Tees river ; not that they improved on their good originals." Youatt iquotes Mr. Bates as saying in a letter relating to his famous Duchess tribe of cattle. " I purchased my briginal cow of this tribe of cattle of the late Charles Colling, Esq., of Ketton ; they had been in the possession of Mr. Colling twenty years, who purchased his original cow from Stanwix, and called her Duchess, which Mr. C. Colling repeatedly assured me was the best he ever had or ever saw, and that he never was able to improve upon her, although put to his best bulls." Mr. Bates and his successors adopted with the Duchesses the plan pursued by Bakewell with his long-horns, and the disastrous result of his system is now before our eyes. The pure Duchesses are well nigh extinct, and the few that remain are being crossed with other tribes to save them from perishing utterly. Here then we have the three eminent examples of incestuous breeding — -the Leicester sheep, which no longer exist as created by Bakewell, and even as modified since his day, have declined in numbers and popularity — the long-horns, which are extinct, and the Duchess tribe of Short-horns, almost extinct. Let us oppose to them Prof. Low's pleasing picture of the improvement made a hundred years ago INTEODUCTOBY ESSAY. 21 in Southdown sheep by Mr. John EUman, through a judicious system of crossing. To complete the contrast, we must remember that no breed of sheep is to-day more valuable or more popular than the Southdown. "Amongst the individuals most distinguished as the improvers of this breed, was the late John Ellma©. This gentleman began his important experi- ments about the.year 1780, when he acquired possession of the farm of Glynde, near Lewis, in th e county of Sussex. He remained on this farm more than fifty years, during which period he directed his attention, in an especial degree, to the improvement of the native sheep of the Downs. He pursued his system of progressive change with judgment, perseverance and zeal ; and he must be re- garded as one of the most skillful and successful breeders whom this country has produced. He displayed none of the too narrow selfishness which, it is to be regretted, appeared in the proceedings of his distinguished contemporary Mr. Bakewell. He freely communicated the deitails of his valuable practice, and showed himself to be entirely exempt from, illiberal prejudices. He did not experience the necessity of creating, as it were, a breed, but was contented to adopt the basis which was afforded him in the one already naturalized in the Sussex Downs. He did not carry any of his principles of breeding to an extreme, but acted under the guidance of temperance and judgniient. He sought for the properties of health and soundness of constitution, as well as for those of external form and facility of fattening; and therefore he did not, like Bakewell, confine himself rigidly to the blood of his own stock, but re- sorted to others, that he might infuse first vigor into his flocks, and prevent them from becoming too delicate. His aim, in short, was the really useful; and, though he reaped the due reward of his enterprise and skill, it was never obtained by atts of any kind, by deception or useless ostentation. His charac- ter throughout was one of sincerity and manly simplicity ; and it is pleasing to add, that he closed a long and honorable life, respected and regretted by all that came under the influence of his social virtues. He died in 1832, having entered into his eightieth year." The only argument remaining in favor of incestuous breeding is that it intensifies the ability to transmit qualities by inheritance, or creates prepotency. , In the history of what animals do we find this hold good ? For two hundred years and more horses have been carefully bred for the turf, and the contests of the racecourse have afforded the severest possible test of the success or failure of any system of propagating them. In all that time I do not recall a single instance of an in-and-in bred horse that attained the first rank as a racer or as a sire. Not to mention living sires, of which not one can be even called moderately inbred, Lexington, Leamington and Bonnie Scotland were conspicuously impressive and all strongly outcrossed. If we go to the trotters and take the six most prominent sires, we find, one of them, and he as yet the greatest, namely, Rysdyk's Ham- bletonian, spoken of as " strongly inbred," " remarkably inbred " to Imp. Messenger. In fact, he has three crosses of Messenger and just 22 INTEODUCTOEY ESSAY. twenty-five per cent of his blood ! — a degree of inbreeding to which there can hardly be rational objection. All the others — Blue Bull, George Wilkes, Almont, Volunteer, Daniel Lambert — are essentially and strongly outcrossed. With the general history of Short-horn cattle I am not well enough acquainted to speak of them in detail, but I know enough to assert that for every incestuously bred sire that has proved prepotent for good, a worthy rival can be found among outcrossed animals. The example of the Ptolemys, kings of Egypt, is occasionally quoted as one where in-and-in breeding of the most extreme descrip- tion was practiced in the human race, yet the family culminated in the famous Cleopatra. Here is what Galton has to say on the subject, in his- work on " Hereditary Genius " : " This race of Ptolemys is at first sight exceedingly interesting, on account of the extraordinary number of their close intermarriages. They were matched in and in like prize cattle ; but these near marriages were unprolific, the inheritance mostly passed through other wives. Indicating the Ptolemys by numbers, according to the order of their succession, II married his niece, and afterward his sister; IV his sister; VI and VII were brothers, and they both consecutively married the same sister — VII also subsequently married his niece; VIII married two of his own sisters consecutively ; XII and XIII were brothers, and both consecutively married their sister, the famous Cleo- patra. Thus there are no less than nine cases of close intermarriages distributed among the thirteen Ptolemys. However, when we put them, as below, into the form of a genealogical tree, we shall clearly see that the main line of descent was untouched by these intermarriages, except in the two cases of III and of VIII. The personal beauty and vigor of Cleopatra, the last of the race, cannot therefore be justly quoted in disproof of the evil effects of close breeding. On the contrary, the result of Ptolemic experience was distinctly to show that intermarriages are followed by sterility." So much for in-and-in breeding in general. Now as to Jersey cattle, we find that for certainly a hundred and fifty years they have been br-ed upon an island, six miles by eleven — about the size of a moderate western ranch — with absolutely no intermixture of foreign blood, no effort at diversifying the type, no disposition on the part of some to breed for beef, and of others, to breed for milk or for the yoke, and no effort to avoid breeding in-and-in. When history first intro- duces them to us they are already an established breed, and noted for their excellence in the butter dairy, and the type is fixed much as it exists to-day. What reason is there for in-and-in breeding of such cattle ? One of the complaints made against them already is their delicacy of form and constitution. That this is largely unfounded, and by judicious breeding for a few years to come will be entirely removed, I have no doubt, but in-and-in breeding would only exag. INTRODUCTORY ESSAY. 23 gerate the defect. The Jerseys that have come to us from the island are already quite sufficiently inbred, as a rule. Again, almost all the earlier importations to America were more or less inbred as a matter of necessity. They were scattered over the country in small herds, at such distances from each other that it was quite the exception when a breeder had access to any bull but his own, and as prices were then moderate and there was no demand for bull calves, few were kept, and a bull's daughters were frequently bred back to him or a cow to her own son. As a consequence of such conditions we should expect to find all Jerseys more or less inbred, and my experience is, that wherever we can trace them back five or six crosses, such is certain to be the case ; hence it will not«do, when a cow makes a good test or a bull proves a good sire, to lay too much stress on what inbreeding we may find. If that inbreeding be to (/ood individuals, it is prohahly a valuable element, but some of the most strongly inbred Jerseys I have seen have been some of the most indifferent. I recall one, that was of 75 per cent very noted blood and had neither dairy quality, constitution nor beauty to recommend her. HINTS ON TESTING , COWS. There is no mystery about testing. The thing is to understand your business of dairying or put the test into the hands of some one who does understand it. Then all becomes simple. But a few suggestions and cautions may be worth giving. In the first place, do'not be in too great a hurry to test. Let your cow be ready before vou start. It is well to begin gradually and cautiously "feeding up " for a test as much as ten days before you expect to com- mence it. Increase the food by degrees to the point you wish to reach, unless the cbw shows signs of being surfeited before you attain it, in which case you had as well break off and begin again, making up your mind to test en less feed. When your cow is eating as much as you wish her to have during the test, let her have a few days for the increased ration to take effect. Then begin your test and do not increase or change her feed during the test, unless she is falling below your expectations and you are ready to experiment. I have known several excellent tests broken off by a slight ch'^nge in feed. Don't be discouraged too soon. If your cow fails on her first trial) the milk may not have been properly, handled, or the cow may have been ever so little out of health or condition. Try her from time to time by churning a day's milk separately, varying her rations also occasionally, till you hit upon the proper management of the milk or the food best suited to the cow. I had once a cow whose milk required 24 INTEODUCTOEY ESSAT. twelve hours more than the average of the herd to ripen for churn- ing, and had to be treated accordingly. Have a good churn, and see that it is properly handled by whoever manages it. There are many excellent churns, and a few bad ones. As a rule, all those patterns which claim to bring butter in some marvelously short time are hard to manage. You can often tell whether your churn is doing its part well by weighing in the milk or cream several successive days, and seeipg whether the yield of butter in proportion to milk is satisfactory and regular. A better way is to have two patterns, and try them together or alternately. I have one churn which does well in winter, but not in summer. Repeated tests are often necessary to ascertain a cow's capacity. If satisfied with one's breeding and appearance, do not reject her on the evidence of a single test. It may be an off year with her, or she may not have reached her maturity. I know of two bulls, both stand- ing high as successful sires, but the daughters of one are in their prime at four years, while those of, the Other improve until they are six or seven. Again, I sold two cows from my herd because I did not believe either would ever reach fourteen pounds. One has given nearly twenty-two pounds in an ofiicially conducted test, and the other eighteen pounds. Do not wait for your cow to give a large quantity of milk before testing. Many of the best tests have been made when the cows were giving between twenty and thirty pounds of milk daily. As to the feed during the test, we state the practice of a number of breeders, which our readers can study and compare for themselves. No rule of general application can be laid down, as cows differ endlessly in ability to assimilate food, and in preferences for one kind or another, and their tastes must be consulted, and their peculiarities carefully studied in order to reach the best results. I have generally found cooked or steamed food rather unsatisfac- tory, and cut hay slightly moistened preferable to uncut hay. Corn and oats are better ground quite coarse. They are quite as well digested, and the animals eat them more readily than when ground fine. Cornfield peas boiled are occasionally much relished. Wheat bran increases the milk, but unless unusually rich in flour, seems to have little effect on the yield of butter. One sample of bran may have five times as much nutriment in it as another. That made at the large merchant mills, by the new process, is usually about the dearest feed a butter dairyman can buy, so thoroughly is it stripped of all valuable elements. Cotton-seed meal in small quantities I have found useful, especially when there is no grass. BUTTER TESTS. BY THOS. H. MALONE. This book had its origin in the conviction of the compilers that the breeding of Jerseys, considered as butter cows, could never be placed upon a satisfactory basis, nor conducted upon principles giving reason to hope for great and continued improvement in the breed, so long as fancy points, such as color of the hair, skin and horns, length of switch, size of horn, and escutcheon, etc., usurp the place, or share the importance, which in their opinion belong exclusively to actual per- formance. How far these or other points may enable one to judge in advance what a particular individual may perhaps do, is not to be discussed in this connection ; the position now taken is simply that when an individual has actually jnade a great performance, this is a fact which to the breeder is of more importance than any prognosti- cation can possibly be, ^upon whatever founded, and which he can disregard only at his peril. The purpose of the compilers was there- fore to make and put in convenient form, for the use of breeders, lists of these great performances, with some account of the breeding of the performers. If these lists could be known to be absolutely correct in every regard their usefulness would be admitted by all. So far as the writer knpws the only objection which has been urged against them is that V perhaps some of the tests reported are, through fraud, accident or mistake, not true representations of the fact ; and so that an individual of little merit may be placed far above her superiors, to the injury of breeders and the breed. "Well, frankly, the compilers do not undertake to say that they believe every test reported is accurate, and, as stated in another con- nection, they are not responsible except to this extent : — that each test has been certified to them by one or more persons worthyiof credit, so far as they knew. After all, each test must stand upon the character of the certifiers, and by showing when the test was made and to whom the animal at the time belonged, we have enabled all to make investigations, each for himsdf. 26 BCTTEK TESTS. But the compilers do believe that the tests reported are as a rule correct. That a Jersey cow is capable of yielding eighteen, twenty, and even twenty-six or twenty-seven pounds of butter in seven days is now too well established to admit of any doubt whatever. The hundreds of reputable gentlemen certifying to the facts cannot all be deceiving or deceived. The capacity of the Jersey is established, so far as human testimony can establish anything. This point conceded, it becomes easy to credit the reports of tests falling far within the admitted capacity. The question for the breeder, however, is not whether some, or even many, of these reported tests may be errors, or even frauds, but whether, because some may be untrue, we should reject all. It is not pretended by the compilers that the tests which they report were con- ducted in the best conceivable way to exclude error or fraud ; but, despite possible error or fraud, these tests, such as they are, being all that we have, are, in the opinion of the compilers, of priceless value. Besides, they hoped that the fact that in the past the methods pursued have not been the best possible, may itself arouse such an interest as will force the American Jersey Cattle Club to elaborate a system which for the future may give more satisfactory results. Hitherto, properly speaking, there have been no " official " tests, if we mean by official tests such as are conducted under the auspices and according to the directions of the highest recognized authority. There are so-called official tests, which were conducted by persons unofficially appointed by the directors of the American Jersey Cattle Club. But these directors did not pretend to have any. authority for their action, nor did they prescribe, or even suggest, the precautions to be taken to guard against fraud or error. Some of these tests seem to have been conducted by the individuals suggested by the directors throughout, and some seem to have been chiefly under the care of appointees of the appointees of the directors. The precautions to guard against error or fraud are, it is believed, not the same in any two cases. These things are mentioned, not as casting any doubt upon the accuracy of any of these so-called official tests, ,f or hexe the writer can frankly and heartily say, that as to no one of them,, in so far as he knows or believes, is there any possible room for doubt, but as show- ing that we ought not to rest content with the mere shadow of an official system which we have. They are mentioned also to show that these tests, like the others, must depend solely upon the trust- worthiness of. the men who certify them. There is no test which is vouched for by the American Jersey Cattle Club, or which having the sanctity of a record, cannot be " averred against." The writer, after much doubt, has become convinced that the Club BUTTER TESTS. 27 should take jurisdiction of this matter, thoroughly digest a system, rigidly enforce the rules that may he adopted, and make the reported results " records." There can be no doubt that the chief great func- tion of the Clift) is to preserve the purity of the breed by keeping the record of pedigrees accurate and trustworthy. The importance of this function is felt in direct ratio to the strength of the conviction that the Jersey is a breed of a fixed definite type, with a fixed tendency to make large yields of butter, just as the blood horse has a fixed tendency to gallop more rapidly than other breeds of horses. The compilers believe that the evidence afforded by the tables made by them will once for all set this question at rest. They are satisfied that hence- forth no one will have the boldness to claim for a few individuals, however eminent, the right to be considered as the only source from which a butter breed may hereafter be evolved. If their work had no other value, this alone, they think, would justify the labor and care given to it. It cannot, as they believe, be overestimated. So long as doubt shall remain on this point, so long will our methods be unsoien- . tific and the results more or less unsatisfactory. The methods which should be pursued in fixing a type a,re, as the writer believes, by no means those which should be followed after the type shall have been fixed. The tables shed a flood of light on this question, as is more fully shown in another part of this preface. But lest he should bp misunderstood, it is proper to add, that while the writer holds that all attempts to apply to the breeding of Jerseys seeming analogies, arising from experiments with breeds whose type and tendency a're not fixed, are erroneous and misleading, he thinks that among Jerseys, as among blood horses, certain individuals and families have for breeding pur- poses superior value. But he insists that just as great sires and great racehorses have arisen since Lexington, having none -of his blood in their veins, so, after the great cows now justly considered the reign- ing queens shall have passed away, other great cows will arise alien in blood to them. It is a significant fact that no son of Lexington has been found worthy to succeed to his sire in the stud, although scores of them gallantly maintained his honors on the turf. Holding these ideas, it is manifest that the writer does not under- value the great work which the Club has taken upon itself and has hitherto so faithfully performed. As a member of the Club, he would strenuously resist all attempts to make the right of registration in any way dependent upon the tests of the individual or its ancestors. But it is not perceived that by assuming jurisdiction of butter tests the duties of the Club with regard to pedigrees will be in any manner interfered with. And when it is considered that there is no .authority except that of the Club, which can prescribe and enfoi;ce rules to 28 BtTTTER TESTS. secure uniformity, fairness and accuracy with the smallest possible margin for error, that without tests our breeding is but blindly grop- ing in the dark, and that if the Club should decline to take charge of the matter, the great value of tests being now generally recognized, frauds are likely to be multiplied, it is believed that the members of the Club will see that the time has arrived when the Club can no longer leave to individuals what can only be efficiently done by it. But if the Club should consent to take charge of tests, the best method to be adopted is then to be considered. The question thus presented is far from being free from difficulty. It is known that the Club has on hand a large and increasing fund at present not needed in the administration of its affairs, and it has been urged by some that this fund should be used to establish and maintain a few permanent stations under the exclusive control of the employes of the Club, and to these stations the owners could, upon the payment of certain fees, and under certain restrictions, send the cows they desired to have tested. The feature which chiefly recommends this plan is, that the cows would be exclusively in the hands of the employes of the Club, whose skill, experience and trustworthiness would in a large measure guarantee that the reports would not only be truthful and accurate, but that the tests would represent fairly the capacity of the cow. The objections to the plan are as obvious as the advantages, and, it is believed, greatly outweigh them. In the first place, owners of very valuable cows would not willingly send them far away from home and trust them to the care of strangers, which, however con- scientiously given, would hardly equal that of the owner ; and this aside from- the daijger and exposure of railroad travel and the subject- ing of them to new climatic conditions. But the objection which to the writer seems insuperable is, that in a short while these stations would, or might, become pesthouses, from which disease might be disseminated all over the country. Not many years ago an entire herd of Jerseys, and one of the best in the land, was destroyed by contagious pleuro-pneumonia. An individual from one such infected herd sent to a station would work incalculable damage. Despite all reasonable care, this is a danger to which such stations would be always exposed, — a danger which, it is believed, Jersey breeders will in no wise be willing to incur. After much reflection it has occurred to the writer that the following plan, or some modification of it retaining its main features, is perhaps, all things considered, the most practicable which has been suggested. In the first place, the Club should, upon the recommendation of say BUTTER TESTS. 29 seventy-five per cent of the members in any state, appoint as many official testers as may be needed for that state. For each test made by him the tester should be paid by the Club his' traveling expenses to and from the place at which the test is to be made, and a fixed per diem for his services during the time devoted to the test. • These testers should be made removable by the directory of the Club at any time for cause, and without cause on application of three members of the Club residing in the state. The owner desiring his cow to be tested would make application to the Club, accompanying it with a fee to be fixed by the Club, and which should be large enough to meet the expenses of the test, with a small surplus to provide for publishing in proper form the tests when made. The owner should under no circumstances be permitted to pay the tester anything, and the reception by the tester of money or any present whatever from the owner of a cow under test should be cause for removal. ' The Club should digest rules for the guidance of the tester, and any deviation from these should render the test incapable of being received as a record. The rules should in detail prescribe the precautions to be taken by the tester to guard against fraud or error. They should prescribe how often and when the cow should be fed and milked. The amount and quality of the feed, however, should be eft to the owner, who also Should have the right of managing the milk and churning process, under the supervision of the tester ; but it should be the duty of the latter to report in detail the kind and amount of feed, the management of the milk, the temperature at which it was churned, how long it was churned, and perhaps other matters that may suggest themselves. The Club should prescribe how often the butter should be worked before weighed, and at what intervals, how much salt should be used to the pound, if salted butter is to be weighed, and whether the butter shall be worked after being salted and before weighed. The testers should be furnished with printed instructions and blanks for the entry of all matters required to be reported. Tables like those we have prepared, if ■ no better form, should suggest itself, should be prepared from these reports, and either placed as appendixes to the volumes of the Herd Book as they come out, or should, if preferred, be published in separate volumes. The tests should be for seven days, because longer ones would be inconvenient and expensive ; and indeed if long continued, the expense would place them beyond the reach of very many, perhaps a majority, 30 BUTTEE TESTS. of Jersey breeders. Besides, although there may be not a few excep- tions to the rule, yet it may fairly be considered, as a rule, that a seven- days' test will in general show the capacity of the cow. Whatever may be the objections to this plan, it is at least prac- ticable, and it is hoped that if adopted by the Club, and amended and perfected as experience may suggest, it will give fairly satisfactory results. BLOOD LINES. BY WM. J. WEBSTER. , It might now be assumed that it is a well-established fact that the Jersey cow, as a breed, has a fixed tendency to make butter. If this is not so, they have spent a hundred years on the Island in vain breed- ing the race, and thousands of dollars in America in establishing fine herds to no purpose. It is our experience that capital has a keen eye to interest, and rarely invests continuously in one line unless supported by merit. But lest we may be accused of begging the question, we furnish a still stronger argument. The system of testing cows is of comparatively recent date, and even now cannot be said to be in general practice, though it is gradually becoming more general (and will, we think, be made the standard for selecting a breeding herd), yet we find about five hundred cows that have well-established butter tests over 14 pounds, and some as high as 27 pounds 10 ounces, all from the same breed of cattle (when the average of the common cow is, we think, about 4 pounds per week), and we find the exceptionally large records supported by official tests.' This, then, established, what is the office of the breeder ? It seems to us to be that. of bringing together the blood of cows of the highest type of the breed, and by a process of selection exaggerate this tendency, and by proper food bring out and stimulate the greatest production of ^butter in a year. Just here seems to be the greatest difficulty, and the most intricate prqblem to solve. We all agree we want it, but how to accomplish it is the question. The natural tendency and the general course of the mind is toward inbreeding. This view may be taken by some because it is novel, and looks scientific ; by others, because it is supposed the breed was created in this way. We have no definite information as to how it was created, and do not wish to speculate. If it was created by inbreeding, it seems to us there has been quite enough of it for the last hundred years on the Island. If by selection and crossing them we may safely continue that line of action, our opinion is, we should select animals from families of known merit and of the same type not akin, and unite them. In this 32 BLOOD LINKS. way we will get the tendency exaggerated without impaieikg the coNSTiTUTiosr. These families should, of course, be those that have shown power to transmit their good qualities. And, in making this selection, it is well to avail ourselves of anything we find from experi-' ments of others, whether the trial was made from accident or design, and where the coupling of two families has been productive of good results, follow it up. There are also some very prepotent families that couple well with most anything, because they overcome the defects of others and reproduce themselves. These are the most valuable, as they may form the connecting link to unite others that would not "nick" well. It may freely be admitted that inbreeding exaggerates tendency. I presume it is a fact that cannot be denied. The reason is apparent : two animals of a strong fixed tendency and of the same type, as they are likely to be when of the same blood, bred together, exaggerate tendency, and remould the same type in exaggerated form, but they exaggerate the weaknesses and defects of system and weaken and impair the constitution, and thus impaired it will not be able to stand the drain which the exaggerated tendency demands, and, while they might produce largely for awhile, would probably not, even for a week, hold oat at full capacity, and certainly not for a year, and while they might make 14 pounds, it is not probable that many would come in above 18 pounds per week. We believe that the first requisite of a butter cow is capacity to digest rich food and assimilate it. To do this strong constitution is required, and anything which has a tendency to impair this should be avoided. We are_satisfied that the same good results can be attained by selecting animals not. akin of the. same type and breeding them, together as hy inbreeding, and that though this may be a slower process, it is the surer one. But it may be asked what you would do with those of different type, and of equal merit individually and from family excellence. We suggest that some animal not too widely different from either be selected as the connecting link, if it be, important to unite them. We don't wish to be understood as combating an occasional judicious use of inbreeding of good animals on inferior ones, in order to overcome defects which exist in one side by increasing the blood of the good side, nor coupling remotely related animals of the same family where there are outcrosses between them, and this we will, for use of a better word to convey our meaning, call line-breeding (and where that word occurs herein it may be understood in this sense), but incestuous inbreeding is what we think wrong. We think inbreeding dangerous, and, if ever practiced, should stop with one cross and go BLOOD LINES. 33 immediately out. ' But we might theorize forever without settling a fact. So for the benefit of those whom it maly interest we will classify all cows over 18 pounds per week under the formula of breeding to which they belong, and let the facts as ascertained speak for them- selves. We may make errors in this, but if we do we can be corrected, and it will at least give something to think about. It seems to us to be divided as follows : 1. Animals outbred or not akin. 2. Those linebfed (or from uniting collaterals of the same family with each other). 3. Those Unebred with an outcross culminating in the animal that made the test. 4. Those inbred. 5. Those inbred with an outcross culminating in the animal tested. Under Formula 1 we class the following (Princess 2d not ih the list, but tested since) : Princess 2d 27 lbs. 10 oz.

S., sire of Princess 2d, 27 lbs. 10 oz. ; Ona, 20 lbs. 13 oz. It is well here to note that Brown Prince, the grandsire of 36 BLOOD LINES. the dam of Khedive, was also sire of Little Browny, dam of Nelly, 21 lbs., and Nelly 6456 is dam of Daisy of St. Peters, 20 lbs. 5| oz., and Chrome Skin descends from same family, 20 lbs. 13 oz. So we have five 20-lb. cows in that family. St. Helier 45, sire of Chroma, 20 lbs. 6 oz. ; Meines 3d, 20 lbs. The first a linebred bull, the last an imported bull of unknown breeding, so that we are compelled to count him among the outbred cattle. In no view we can take of the facts as they appear, is inbreeding sustained. Necessity made it excusable at one time, but the good families are too plentiful now to resort to it. In advocating the breeding of animals not akin, we do not wish to be misunderstood. "We do not deny the prepotency of many families, and think it well to adhere to those that have several tests in a family. And we are opposed to indiscriminate mixing, and jumping at everything that happens to take the lead for the nioment^- We are satisfied that, if a family of cattle uniformly run to 15 lbs. or 16 lbs. per week, it is as likely to produce a phenomenal cow, if the proper nick is made, as any, and much depends on the care of the cow in rearing and attention at the time of the test. And we suggest, as mere theory, that it may riot be improbable that the sires and dams of cattle being well cared for gives the offspring a better chance. We will adopt this course for ourselves. Nor do we want to be misunderstood on this point. We do not intend to say that any amount of feed and attention will accomplish anything without the blood to start with, as something is never made of nothing, but to 'assert that it is well to develop it. We are, there- fore, of opinion that the true course for the breeder is to select fami- lies of merit and the type he thinks best, and pursue his own course ; but in all cases test, and discard that which is found wanting, it matters not what his preconceived ideas'were. P. S. — It is curious that I omitted to state that Signal 1170 is sire of two 20 lb. cows — ^Zenella 22 lbs. 1^ oz., and Croton Maid 21, lbs. 14 oz., and since the above was written Stoke Pogis 3d 2238 has the cow Honey Moon of St. Lamberts, 20 , lbs. 5^ oz., to his credit; so that there are now four bulls that sired two 20 lb. cows each — two outbred, one linebred, and one inbred outcrossed.

AVhile engaged in collecting the materials for this book, we were informed of some remarkable tests of unregistered cows. "While their performances cannot, except in a very few cases, be valuable to the breeder as indicating valuable strains of blood, they very much strengthen the evidence in favor of the productive capacity of the breed. The more remarkable of these tests are thrown into something like tabulated shape below : Ji^AOJiiE, tested by Davis E. Heston, Alabama, N. Y. Yield in 7 days 23 lbs. 6 oz. E'fpie 885 J. H. B., Yield In 7 days 22 lbs. 10 oz. Beauty, tested by Geo. W. Campbell, Carter's Creek, Tenn. Yield in 7 days 20 lbs. 15 oz. Gilt Edge, tested by Davis E. Heston, Alabama, N. Y. Yield in 7 days 20 lbs. Jersey Queen ob^Baenet, tested by J. L. Kenerson, Barnet, Vt. Yield in 7 days 19 lbs. 4 oz. Dolly, Yield in 7 days 18 lbs. 11 oz. In addition to the above tests of a week, we have Abbie, Yield in 365 days 486 lbs. Queen Victoeia, Yield in 30 days • 80 lbs. Jebses Rosalie 1215 J. H. B., Yield In 10 days 25 lbs. 3 oz. 152 BUTTEE TESTS OF JERSEYS. Moreover, Jersey Quebx op Barnbt was the first cow to beat 800 lbs. in a year, with a yield of 851 lbs. 1 oz., not yet surpassed, except by Mdry Anne of St. Lambert ; and Effie gave in 30 days 98 lbs., and in 236 days 507 lbs. 8 oz. Of the above, Jersey Queen is by "Duke out of Kate" (Mr. Darling's cata- logue). Mr. J. H. Walker identifies Duke with Duke F., by Byron 379 out of Imp. Dazzle 379. Effie contains a good deal of the same blood as Jersey Belle of Scituate. Beauty is by Pertinatti 713, and her dam is also by Pertinatti. We are unable to trace any connection of the others with registered animals. TABLE OF CONTENTS. INTRODUCTORY ESSAYS.
