J MAY -7 1518^ Printed in United States of America ©CI,A494947 Introductory AVERY prominent dairyman once said that, to know a breed, one needs to understand its nature, its nurture, and its ideal. That is, one must realize what it has inherited from its ancestry, the influence the environment in which it was reared has given it, and finally, what the animal itself has been able to add as its measure of excellence. Heretofore no attempt has been made to collate all the results that have been accomplished by the Guernsey breed. When one pauses and recalls the past he realizes what the varied conditions which have quietly exerted their influence on the breed are. A study of the conditions on the Island is most interesting. The Island people in their manner of han- dling and caring for the breed and their tenacity shown in protecting its purity have contributed greatly to the develop- ment of the breed. No one has been more fortunately situated to know all this, and no one has more zealously endeavored to become familiar with all phases of the history and development of the breed, than has the author of this book. His connection with the breed for more than a quarter of a century has given him a splendid insight into its characteristics. His early experience at the home farm as a breeder and developer of Guernseys, his knowledge of the affairs of The American Guernsey Cattle Club, gained as a member of its executive, board and two years as its president, and his experience as an importer, which has taken him on many trips to the Island of Guernsey, have enabled him to bring together material that is of great value to all breeders. Though Guernseys have been introduced and have found favor all over the world, it is fitting that a composition of their history should first appear in the United States, where they have been so highly appreciated. The rapid advance which the breed has made through its ability to produce the highest class dairy products most eco- nomically has always been a great source of satisfaction to its admirers. The future of the Guernsey is a bright one. The public is fast demanding a better class of dairy products and is rap- idly learning" to make a distinction between the different grades of milk, cream and butter. The Guernsey and her grades stand without a peer in the economical production of products having the highest natural color and finest flavor. The author's endeavor to place in permanent form the results that have been accomplished in breeding Guernseys will be thoroughly appreciated by the breeders. It will give them a better foundation of knowledge and a clearer concep- tion of the results which they may expect to accomplish. W. H. Caldwell, Secretary, The American Guernsey Cattle Club, Peterboro, N. H. Map of the Island of Guernsey CHAPTER I The Island of Guernsey The Island of Guernsey and the sister islands of Jersey, Alderney, Sark, Herm, and Jethou, and several others that are little more than rocks, form the Channel Islands group, and are situated in the English Channel not far from the coast of France. Guernsey is 69 miles southeast of the nearest point on the English coast and about 28 miles from the nearest point on the coast of France. Jersey is about 22 miles south- east of Guernsey and 15 miles from the coast of France, and Alderney is 22 miles northeast of Guernsey and only eight miles from the nearest point on the French coast. Sark and Herm, the only other islands of the group that are inhabited, lie between Guernsey and the coast of France. Jersey, the largest of the group, contains about 45 square miles ; is in general conformation sloping to the south ; and has a slightly milder climate than Guernsey, where the general slope of the Rocquaine Bay, Guernsey. land is northward. Jersey is noted not only for its cattle but also for the enormous quantities of early potatoes that are raised and shipped to the English markets. Guernsey is nine miles in extreme length and five miles in width, and has an actual area of 24 square miles. Ragged granite blullfs characterize almost its entire coast, and the sur- rounding sea is very dangerous to navigate, due not only to 10 The Guernsey Breed the larg-e number of sunken, jagged rocks, but also to the rapid tides that flow in and out among the islands. At no point between Guernsey and the coast of France does the sea exceed 100 feet in depth, and the rush of the tides back and forth through the English Channel, connecting with the North Sea, coupled with the dense fogs that prevail at many Garden Rocks, Alderney. seasons of the year, all add to the dangers of navigation about the islands. • Alderney is only about one by three miles in extent, and Sark is not far from the same size. The sea about the islands is, indeed, a graveyard for ships. A diver who a few years ago went down among the rocks at the southwest corner of Guernsey to locate the founda- tion for the Hanois Lighthouse said he counted the wrecks of over 50 vessels of all periods of time, from the Caesars down to the present. I myself saw, in 1910, the wrecks of The Guernsey Breed 11 four large freight steamers, each carrying over 5,000 tons of coal, piled up on the rocks of Alderney. All had gone ashore during two weeks. The islands are well equipped with lighthouses, beacons and signals, and after the wrecks just mentioned a very large and powerful new lighthouse was erected on the island of Alderney. About 20 miles east by north of Guernsey is a dangerous reef of rocks called the Casquets. On one of these rocks is located a very powerful lighthouse, but in spite of this light many notable wrecks have occurred there. Perhaps the most notable was that of the man-of-war \'ictory, of 110 guns, with Admiral Sir John Balchen and 1,100 sailors and marines on board, which foundered October 5, 1744, and all perished. A recent notable wreck was that of the steam packet Lydia, of the London & South Western Railroad Company, which, running as a special Good Friday excursion boat, was wrecked here and hundreds of persons perished. But an account of all the shipping disasters that have oc- curred in these treacherous waters would fill a volume. The passage separating the Island of Alderney from a small island just off the west coast is called the Swinge, and here the tides sometimes reach a velocity of 12 miles per hour. It is a strange sight, indeed, to one unaccustomed to such mysteries of the deep, to pass through the Swinge when the tides are strongest and see the wonderful rush of water over the rocks out in the sea. It is almost equal at its worst to the whirlpool rapids at Niagara. The passage between Alderney and France is called the Race of Alderney. and here also the tides ebb and flow in a manner inconceivable to a landsman. The tides on the coasts of the islands themselves are very high, having reached, at extreme spring tides. 50 feet on the Island of Jersey and more than 40 feet on the Island of Guernsey. On the coast of Normandy opposite, tides of 60 feet have been recorded. Great damage is often done to the piers, breakwaters and beaches by storms that sometimes occur during these high tides. I saw on the Island of Alderney, in March, 1911, one such storm. The accompanying illustration gives one some idea of the height of the waves, when it is known that the breakwater here is 20 to 30 feet above the sea level of this extremely high tide. This breakwater is a part of the admiralty works and forts, constructed between 1848 and 1852, in the 12 The Guernsey Breed ■■^^ ^ '^i^^- ^^ »*• --»J-^. » . ^^ ' Qgjms SS^msnu. l».l ■His ^-i^^^&s&itak Rough sea at Alderney breakwater. endeavor to make a harbor of. refuge for English war vessels close to the coast of France. It was originally nearly a mile long, 30 feet or more in width, and 50 feet above the average sea level. It was scarcely completed when a great storm washed away about one-third of it, and it was never re- constructed. The British government still keeps a large force of men at work quarrying granite, great blocks of which, together with ponderous cement blocks six to eight feet square, are constantly being swung off into the sea beside the breakwater to protect it from the violence of the waves. One severe storm will often destroy the product of a year's labor of this force of men. Long rows of these blocks have been linked together with iron two inches in diameter, and yet all have been ground up by the force of wind and water. In the sea on the inside of the breakwater may be seen pieces of rock weighing tons that have been thrown over the breakwater from the seaward side during storms. There are 10 forts around the shores of Alderney, only two or three of which are now in use. One of these, Fort Albert, commanding the entrance to the harbor, is situated on a rocky point 300 feet above the sea, and is mounted with large modern guns that doubtless would prove a formidable defense aeainst any hostile vessels. There are from 500 to 800 British soldiers quartered at this fort. The Guernsey Breed 13 There are two forts on Guernsey. One of them, Castle Cornet, standing on a rock in the sea at the entrance of the harbor, has played an important part in the history of the island, as well as in the French and English affairs at least as far back as 1275. The other fort on the island is about half a mile across the bay from Castle Cornet, and is known as Fort George. In these two fortresses are stationed 600 to 800 British soldiers, and on almost any day, especially on Sunday, an American visitor would be reminded of "when the redcoats took the town," at sight of these soldiers in. their gay red uniforms promenading the streets. They saunter in groups of two to half a dozen, but more frequently one of these gaily decorated protectors of His Majesty will be seen walking arm in arm or hand in hand with the sweetheart that occupies his attention as long as he remains on the island. In nearly every bay and on many of the prominent points of Guernsey are small ancient towers or forts, called Martello towers, which are very picturesque. They are built of solid masonary four to five feet thick, and are 15 to 20 feet in diameter and 30 to 40 feet high. The interior space is limited, and each has two circles of loopholes to command every direction. There are also ruins of many other old and aban- doned forts. Petit Bot Bay. (iuernsev 14 The Guernsey Breed Guernsey has the best harbor of all the islands, and the largest ocean-going liners and battleships can enter, but not without the assistance of a local pilot, for the passages are extremely dangerous. Scarcely a day goes by in summer that one or more private yachts belonging to some American or English visitor may not be seen in the harbor. Guernsey and Jersey's freight, passenger, and mail ser- vice with Great Britain is all that could be desired. One may leave London on any of three evenings of the week, at about 9 :30 on the London & South Western Railroad, take ship at Southampton soon after midnight, and be in Guernsey at seven and in Jersey at 10 in the morning. On the alternate three nights of the week one may leave on the Great Western Railroad and embark at Weymouth at 2 :30 a. m. and arrive at Guernsey at 7 a. m. This is also the usual schedule of winter service. In the summer one may also leave London any morning on the Great Western Railroad and arrive in Guernsey in time for the evening dinner. These steamship lines are owned by two railway companies, and return tickets are good on either route. Besides the steam mail packets, each railway company runs freight vessels, almost as large, every day or two, as the service requires. There is also a regular line of steamships running from Guernsey to London direct. A very interesting system of signals on flag staffs on Castle Cornet and on the grounds of Fort George notifies the islanders when a mail boat from England or Jersey is in sight or is at the wharf. TrafBc between the islands is also carried on by small steamers. The boats go from Guernsey to Alderney on Tues- day morning, going on to Cherbourg, France, Tuesday after- noon, and return by the same route on, Wednesday. The same voyage is made on Saturday and Sunday, and on Thurs- day they go over and back on the same day. A trip is made from Guernsey to Sark at least once a week, and during the summer season excursion boats run once a week to the Island of Herm. Herm is about one and one-half miles long and three- fourths of a mile wide, and is rented of the English govern- ment by Prince Blucher of Germany for a summer home. On the eastern side of this island is a very beautiful shell beach which is the attraction for summer visitors and is the only spot on the island that tourists are allowed to visit. This 'I'lii:: Guernsey Breed Creux Harbor, Sark. beach, several hundred feet long and 200 feet wide at low tide, is composed entirely of shells, of which very few are varieties that are native to these waters. Many of them are varieties that are found only in the West Indies. Pieces of water-logged mahogany and other tropical woods have been found mixed with the shells. This island also has on it large numbers of rabbits and kangaroos. While the kangaroo is a native of warmer climates, it thrives here, often becoming so plentiful as to destroy the crops, when many are killed off. The Island of Sark is to many people the gem of the group, and some Americans spend the whole summer there without stopping at the larger islands or in England. The harbor of Sark, called Creux harbor, is largely artificial, and even the small steamers that ply between the islands often cannot enter because of a rough sea. At such times the visitor is taken to land in a small boat, and even in a moderate sea this is a memorable experience for a landsman. Old silver and copper mines exist on both Sark and Herm, although they have not been worked for years. Amethysts and other rock crystal gems are found in small numbers in Sark, and all sorts of jewelry purported to be made of Sark stone are offered to tourists. These souvenirs are ornamental, but it is ques- tionable if any of the stones actually come from Sark. 16 The Guernsey Breed Fish of many varieties are plentiful, and one of the most interesting places on the island to visit is the fish market. Here on any morning of the week, but especially Saturday morning, one may see what is apparently a large part of the population of the island dickering and bargaining with the fishwives for the fish on display. On entering the market one finds himself in a spacious arcade nearly 200 feet long with double rows of marble slabs covered with fish, and each market woman having a space allowance of from four to six feet in length on these tables. The fish generally found in the Guernsey market are the turbot, cod, red and gray mullet, bass, shrimp, plaice, dole, pollock, silver whiting, mackerel, lobster and the conger eel, the latter when stretched out on the marble slabs resembling a young sea serpent. Also crabs of an immense size are on sale. Lobsters are very plentiful and low in price, and several hotels, situated on the western side of the island, make a specialty of serving lobster luncheons. The ormer is a shellfish peculiar to the Channel Islands, and at extreme low tides the islanders gather large quantities of them. When properly cooked they are a great delicacy. Alackerel are so plentiful that they are peddled around the streets at three for 10c. In spite of this fact it is hard to get mackerel served on hotel tables, and the only reason I can think of is that they are so cheap as to be common, while almost every day the hotels serve salmon that comes from Scotland or Norway, costing 50c a pound. Not only are there many local fishermen, but oftentimes many French fishing boats may be seen outside the harbor or tied up at the beach while the fishermen, trade. Quite authentic history of the island dates back to the 11th century, and it is certain that the Romans landed here in the days when they first came to conquer Britain. Old ruins are shown the visitor of buildings said to have been made by Robert Duke of Normandy, 1029, in return for the kindness the inhabitants showed him during a storm when his fleet, on its way to England, sought refuge in the Guern- sey port. As will appear in Chapter II, the French monks seem to have become established on the island in the 11th century, and the 10 parish churches were built between 1111 and 1117. It gives one a feeling of awe to enter one of these churches, to think that for 800 years people have been christened and The Guernsey Breed 17 married in and buried from these same rooms. These parish churches now, of course, belong to the established church of England, but all sorts of dissenters have their churches on the island as well, with services in both English and French. The people of Guernsey are largely of French descent, and English and patois, called Guernsey French, are spoken by nearly every one of the islanders. A few cannot speak English, but the Guernsey people are very loyal to England, and English is gradually superseding French as the language of the majority. The people are hospitable, and, while they The vale mill. may seem a bit distant to strangers at first, as soon as they find that one is "all right" nothing they have is too good for one. The population of the island is nearly 45,000, and con- sidering that the island contains only 24 square miles, one may readily see that it is almost as densely populated as 18 The Guernsey Breed some American cities covering the same area. That part of the island surrounding St. Peter Port harbor is so thickly populated as to be a city, and as one drives out into the country one gets almost to the far side of the island before it looks like anything else but city. Many interesting old buildings are seen. Practically nothing has been done to preserve them, and they are usually torn down to make way for modern improvements. In the days of war between France and England, and during the American Revolution, large numbers of privateers and smug- gling vessels made these islands their headquarters, and the foundation fortunes of many families were made in those times. Some of the families of today are proud to claim their descent from these men, who were little short of buccaneers. Many of the old wine cellars, hewn in the solid rock and used in the trade of those early days, can still be seen in the side- hills of the town. The island has a monetary system of its own, consisting of bank notes, state notes, and copper coins designated as one, two, four, and eight doubles. The eight-double piece has supposedly the value of the English penny, but actually it passes at a discount. Guernsey money is the basis of price in most business transactions, and if English money is offered in payment, a premium of 5 per cent is allowed. Then, besides the English money and the local currency, the silver coinage of nearly every country of Europe, especially that of France, is in daily circulation. The French franc, valued at about 19.3c in American money, passes in Guernsey as 10 pence of cur- rency, and is used much more commonly than the British shilling. At least three of the London banks have branches on the island, and there are other local banking institutions. In the United States the Channel. Islands are known almost altogether because of the breeds of cattle that come from them. If one asks people in England if they know the Channel Islands, they are likely to reply : "Oh yes, I spent my holiday there last summer." An enormous number of tourists visit the islands each summer, more in Jersey prob- ably than in Guernsey. Most excellent hotels abound on all of the islands, and as good accommodations can be secured as one will find in American cities of moderate size. Fine public gardens are maintained, and an excellent means of transportation is provided by the busses that run from the town market square out to the center of nearly every The Guernsey Breed 19 Roadway at Cobo Beach. country parish. There is also a trolley line, about two miles in length, running from the quay of St. Peter Port, north to St. Samson harbor, the only places where vessels larger than small fishing boats can land. The only industry of any kind on Guernsey, other than agriculture, is that of quarrying granite, which is shipped to England as paving blocks and crushed granite, there to be used in the construction of England's roads. This is a very large industry both in Guernsey and Alderney, and large steamers laden with the product leave every day. The granite is said to be one of the hardest varieties known. A splendid system of roads is maintained throughout the island, with a total mileage of about 550 miles. Most of them have by their sides either stone walls five feet and upward in height or earth fences that are often eight or 10 feet thick at the bottom, five feet high, and three feet wide at the top. The main roads are usually 16 feet wide, but many of the roads are called lanes and are not over eight or 10 feet wide. Oftentimes at some turn in one- of these lanes two vehicles will meet, which means that, unless some farmer's gate is convenient for one or the other to drive into, one of them must back out. 20 The Guernsey Breed Gateway at Les Blancs Bois. The tops of many of these earth roadside fences are covered with gorse, as are many of the cliffs and other waste lands. The gorse, known also as furze, may be of added interest to some, since it has given rise to the saying: "Love will go out of fashion when the gorse ceases to bloom." One can find large quantities of this particular plant in bloom 365 days in ordinary years and 366 days in leap years. It is an evergreen plant and, when young and tender, the new growth is sometimes cut and used as forage crop, but later it becomes woody, and the stalks are bound into bundles and used for fuel in the fireplaces and kitchen ranges. These roads are all built of granite and are kept in per- fect condition, it even being the duty of the children, ap- parently, to sweep up the droppings of the horses, for use as fertilizer; and in town the streets are not only swept but, as the hills are steep, they are sprinkled with finely crushed granite to keep the horses from slipping. Motor cars are now very numerous on the island. A large part of them are of American make, so that the islanders are beginning to re- turn a few of the dollars we have paid them for their cattle. The horses used on the island, about 6,000 in number, come from France or England and are usually of excellent type of the smaller, more active cart horse. The Guernsey Breed 21 The climate of Guernsey is semi-tropical, and the range of temperature from summer to winter is slight. The ther- mometer seldom registers above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or below 40 degrees, and never remains stationary at the freezing point. Slight snowfalls occur at rare intervals. In April, 1911, snow fell to a depth of 18 inches on the level, and, as April would about correspond with our June as regards foliage and plant growth in general, one can readily see that much damage would be done, although the temperature was not down to the freezing point. The months of November and December are apt to be cold, wet, and disagreeable, with high winds. This is not always true, for in a letter received from the Island of Al- derney, dated December 17, 1913, the writer said that on that day he had picked a beautiful bunch of roses from his garden, including crimson ramblers. The most severe of the winter weather is generally over by the middle of January, and by that time, and often earlier, the camellia begins to bloom, followed by almost every variety of flower one can mention. The people of the island are won- derful lovers of everything belonging to floriculture and horti- culture. Fuchsias, geraniums, and roses run riot over the houses, with such masses of bloom as to make the foliage almost in- visible. Another flowering shrub that is planted very fre- quently along garden paths and roadways is the blue flowered veronica. Many varieties of palms flourish in the gardens and the agave, or American aloe, commonly called with us the century plant, often blossoms out of doors. In the sum- mers of 1911 and 1913 I saw beautiful specimens of this plant in blossom with flower stalks 20 to 25 feet high. There is also grown a species of lily known as the Guern- sey lily. Without doubt this was originally of Japanese origin and is supposed to have come to the Island of Guernsey in an early day by the wreck of some Japanese or Chinese junk. The agriculture of Guernsey is really its marvel. While there are a little over 15,000 acres comprising the island, con- sidering the space occupied by the rocky cliffs, the 550 miles of roads, the towns, houses, barns, other outhouses, and fences, with nearly 1,000 acres in one tract that is a barren, sandy waste and used for golf commons, it could hardly be that more than one-half to two-thirds of the acreage is really 22 The Guernsey Breed under productive cultivation. Yet, in spite of this, the agri- cultural exports from the island for the year 1909 amounted to $350 per acre for every acre of the island. When it is considered that all of the beef, pork, grain, butter, milk, poultry and eggs produced on the island are needed for home consumption, and large quantities of the vegetables and fruits as well, these export figures are almost beyond conception to an American farmer. It is little wonder that land sells at $1,000 to $2,000 per acre and rents for from $50 to $75 per acre per year. This productiveness is largely due to the greenhouse industry, and it is said that if the green- houses now on the island were placed end to end they would reach 800 miles. Some farmers run as many as 90 houses. Not all of these are artificially heated, many of them being simply great cold frames. Some of the crops grown in these houses are grapes, figs, peaches, nectarines, pears, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, cucum- bers, French melons, carnations, arums and almost every other kind of bulbous flower. It hardly seems possible that it would pay to grow po- tatoes under glass, but I have seen them selling on the wharf for 6d per pound, equal to 12c per pound, or $7 per bushel, in American money. The largest single crop is tomatoes, and to gain a true idea of this industry in Guernsey one must remember that many of the plants cultivated here under glass to supply the English markets will not grow out of doors in England at all, and this is true of the tomato. Greenhouses on Guernsey. The Guernsey -Breed 23 To a visitor, perhaps the grape crop is the most interest- ing of all the crops grown. Once in two or three years the grapes can be forced unusually early, and they often then command a price as high as $1.25 per pound, or even more. One of the growers told me that in a single season he sold $13,000 worth of grapes from four houses. The usual price, however, ranges from 25 to 50c per pound. The best of these grapes are so much better than any other grapes I have tasted that there is no comparison. The varieties mostly grown are the Tokays and Muscats, though I think the best of any I have tasted is the Canon Hall. In the early spring months the amount of flowers shipped daily to England is incredible. On the Thursday preceding Easter in 1907 I went down to the wharf at 6 a. m. and found that the work of transferring flowers from the wagons to the boat had proceeded since 4 :30 a. m. Still there was a stream of wagons a mile long waiting to unload, and it was after 10 o'clock before the last of the flowers were safely on board. The shipment that day amounted to over 17,000 cases, most of which were three to five feet long, a foot wide, and eight inches high. When the flowers are grown out of doors the fields in bloom make a beautiful sight, indeed. I remember a field of jonquils that I used to pass every day on my way to the country, and as we went out in the morning we saw a force of a dozen men, women and girls start picking on one edge of the field. When we came back for luncheon at 1 o'clock they were half way across the field, and where they had begun to pick the yellow was beginning to show again. By night the workers had finished, but on the side where they had begun the field was almost as yellow as it was in the morning. The picking went on day after day, and later, when the flower season was over and the plants had died down, the field would be planted to vetches and oats, either to be fed as a soiling crop or more often to be grazed ofif by cows tethered there. Still later the field might grow a crop of turnips. This succession of crops may go on for two or three years, when, after the last crop, the field would be spaded over by hand and an enormous quantity of bulbs harvested, many of the best of them going to the bulb dealers of New York, Phila- delphia and Chicago. Many of the crops grown in the houses are planted in pots, and when the crop is matured the pots are carried out, and some other plants that have been started in pots are 24 The Guernsey Breed carried in. Still another system somewhat in vogue is as fol- lows : A piece of land 100 feet wide and 400 to 600 feet long is laid out in tracts perhaps 40 to 50 feet wide and the longest way across the field. Then two or three glass houses, each 40 by 100 feet, are so arranged that they can be moved up or down on small railroad-like tracks, and from one tract to another, thus to force any crop in the field. These houses, of course, are not artificially heated. Everything about this greenhouse industry is carried on very systematically, except the marketing. Having talked many times with dififerent growers and marketmen, I am con- fident that generally a more uniform price could be obtained with less waste of produce if they would organize a co-oper- ative market association. Many of the growers ship in their own names to the commission merchants of nearly every city of Great Britain, while others sell their produce on the island to wholesale merchants that market in more wholesale quan- tities. While there is considerable commercial fertilizer used, dependency is largely placed on the manure made by the horses and cattle of the island. Every farm has a very care- fully cared for compost heap, to which is carted not only manure from the stables but every bit of waste vegetable matter and scattered leaves that can be gathered from the (iatliering seavvted on Guernsi-y. The Guernsey Breed 25 farm. Then at certain seasons of the year, when the laws allow, many farmers draw large quantities of seaweed, which is spread on the gardens and meadows. The seaweed adds both fertilizing elements and humus to the soil and does not seem to bring salt enough to the land to do it any injury. Much of the central northern part of the island is below sea level at high tide and has been reclaimed from the sea. There are some fields that still have tide gates that close automatically at high tide and open at low tide to let the drains empty their water into the sea. The cattle are fed largely on hay and roots. The root crops are mangolds, parsnips and carrots. This is the only place where I know parsnips to be grown for cattle food. Even here the best farmers seem to consider them to be of more value for fattening purposes than for milk production. The hay grown is quite largely alfalfa or, as they call it, lucerne, mixed with red clover and Italian rye grass. Alfalfa seems to do very well there, and I have been unable to find any good reason why they do not sow it alone. But certain, it is that the alfalfa and Italian rye grass together make as fine hay as one could wish to have. Because of the frequent rains and the many foggy days, the haying proposition is a very different one from that of the American farmer. The hay lies for a week or more in the swath, and still it is surprising what beautiful hay is made. There are few barns in which A Guernsey hay stack. 26 The Guernsey Breed to store hay, so it is nearly all stacked out of doors in great stacks containing up to 50 tons. Because of the difficulty of curing the hay it is often stacked quite damp, and wooden chimneys a foot square and with sides bored full of holes are frequently placed in these stacks to allow the moisture to escape more easily as the sweating process goes on. These hay stacks are a work of art and, when they are through sweating and settling, they are frequently very carefully thatched with rye straw, giving the hay as much protection from the elements as a barn. The farmers there will tell you that thatching is becoming a lost art, and many are now constructing ricks for their hay by setting tall upright poles and having a roof made of cor- rugated galvanized steel roofing that slides up and down on the poles so that it can be kept close to the top of the stack for protection. While one sees many American and English farm tools about the farms, especially mowers, tedders and rakes, much of the work is done by hand labor that would be done by machinery in this country. One will not wonder at this, how- ever, when one finds that the average price of farm labor on the island is $12 a month, the men boarding themselves. In the spring of 1912 I brought a young man over with me, 19 years of age, who was working for a farmer on Alderney for the munificent sum of 4s currency per week, which is equal to 92c in our money, and for board he seldom had anything else than bread and tea. It is little wonder, then, that every young man who can get an opportunity to emigrate leaves home at once. Not all of them who come to Canada and the United States adapt themselves to the conditions of work and living in this country, so that they become contented, hence quite a few of them eventually find their way back home. Some of these returned Guernsey men, however, have ac- quired a competence while in this country, and two of them, once successful New York merchants, have given the island a very good free library, called after them the Guille-Allez Library. Like every other country in Europe, these islands have contributed many settlers to the United States who have settled in community groups. One will find in these places relatives of nearly every family on the island. Guernsey county, Ohio, was first settled by people from this island. The Guernsey Breed 27 Often families visit back and forth from the island with their friends in America. While a few of the cattle are pastured, nearly all of them are tethered, and this is done by the use of iron tether pins 8 to 10 inches long, with a chain about 16 feet long and containing a swivel attached to the chain or to the rope around the horns. The animals are moved every two or three hours and only about three feet at a time. They are thus unable to trample down any of the fresh food with their feet, and in this way it is possible to do successful tethering along side of vetches and oats that will often be five feet high and that I did see above my head in 1913. Many of the farmers cut these grain crops and draw them to the barn or to racks in the fields and use them as soiling crops. Very limited amounts of grain are harvested and threshed, but the yield is very good indeed. I saw a small field of winter wheat on the Island of Alderney that yielded upward of 50 bushels per acre. The Island of Guernsey abounds in many places of in- terest for those who delight to delve into the antiquities of a country. There are several cromlechs and Druidical remains on the island. A Mr. Lukes, who was greatly interested in the study of the ancient inhabitants of these islands, dug under some of these cromlechs and altars and collected the La Foss Farm, Guernsey. 28 The Guernsey Breed The farm house, "Grande Capellcs," Guernsey. Tlie date o\er the doorway gives the year when the Robin family moved in, not when the house was built. pottery, arms and cooking utensils found there. He later established the museum that now bears his name, which is open to the public. It contains a large and interesting col- lection of these antiquities. Perhaps the chief place of interest to visitors is the home of Victor Hugo, who lived here while exiled from France. The house is still owned by the family and is open part of each day to visitors who wish to view the interior. The home of Victor Hugo has additional interest to lovers of antique furniture because it is filled with the choicest specimens of old English styles. It was here that Hugo wrote the book "Les Miserables." If one desires to read a book that is not only a beautiful and fascinating story but which also contains wonderful nature descriptions and from which he will learn much concerning the customs of the people of the island, he will surely be interested in reading Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea." Nearly every shop on Guernsey offers it for sale in editions from 6d up. The homes of the island are nearly all built of stone, brick, tile, or cement, with many of the older ones still having thatched roofs. The more modern ones have roofs of slate, tile, cement, or asbestos shingles. Many of the farmers are freeholders and the farms are handed down from veneration The Guernsey Breed 29 to generation. Nearly every house, whether in town or country, has a name of its own and is spoken of by that name. It is much easier to find a man if you can tell the name of his house than it is even to know his name. This is a custom that American farmers could well copy. It adds a certain touch of sentiment that is well worthy of imitation. There is a beautiful custom that exists in this connection. When a young couple are married and move into a house that has not been previously occupied by ancestors of either of the pair, they are permitted to carve their initials over the doorway, with the date of their marriage. This then remains as long as they or their descendants live in the house. The accompanying illustration shows one such doorway, being of a farmhouse known as the Grandes Capelles. My friend, W. W. Marsh, while once standing in front of this doorway, remarked to Mrs. Robillard, the present mistress of the home and who was a Miss Robin: "Seventeen seventy-two! My, isn't that an old house?" Mrs. Robillard replied almost in scorn and disgust: "That isn't when the house was built; that is when we moved in." Not until we American farmers come to love a farm home and to think of it as something more than a piece of real estate to be sold to the first person that will offer a little more than it's worth will we care for such a home and wish to hand it down to our descendants in a little better condition than we found it ; and not until then will we be worthy to possess the deed to 40, 80, or more acres of the rich soil of our United States. Most of the cow stables of the island are anything but models for the purpose for which they were intended, and, though each year finds some more modern stables being con- structed, most of the older ones have floors made of cobble stones, 4 or more inches in diameter, partially bedded in cement, and, as little bedding is obtainable, one can well imagine the filthy condition in which many of the stables are found. A good percentage of the cattle are kept in the stables at night, in both summer and winter. The calves, when a very few days old, are fed on the milk from the churn, which is more like sour skimmed milk than like our butter-milk. I venture to say that there are many old cows on the island that have never tasted grain, but more and more farmers are each year feeding grain in addition to roots and hay, and the condition of the cattle 30 The Guernsey Breed no GUStiSSEV - Th. The stiiiic trough. shows it. I have noticed a wonderful improvement in the condition of the cattle on the island since I made my first visit, in 1907, for at that time there were really very few far- mers who gave their cattle good care, while now poor care is the exception. There has also been a marked improvement in the last few years on Alderney, and the reason is that, previous to 1910, they had no market for their cattle, except an occasional demand from England or Guernsey, when the Guernsey far- mers paid not more than half the price that the American im- porters paid them for the same animals. One might easily keep writing about this island until a whole book were written, and there would still remain many things that would be of interest to any reader, and especially to one who has a love for the Guernsey cow. The place will never cease to have charm, either in story or in reality, and I hope that many of those who read this book and who have not seen for themselves will have an opportunity to visit this enchanting island. CHAPTER II The Origin of the Guernsey Cow It must be confessed that the origin of Guernsey cattle is lost in mystery. The common statement is that they are a development from a cross between the large red cattle of Normandy and the small red cattle of Brittany. I have been able to find little direct proof to substantiate such a claim. While searching for evidence on this point, I found that the subject had been one of special investigation by the monks in charge of the Les Vauxbelets Agricultural College, Guern- sey. Their theory seems to be the most probable of all that I found, and I present it here in the words of B. J. Ananias, professor of agriculture in that school. If there is any founda- tion of fact at all in this theory of the origin of the Guernsey. I think it is as stated in his letter. He writes as follows : "Though the origin of the Guernsey cow be lost for want of definite historical records, inferences from the known history of the people and from analogies of qualities and habits of the cattle in question permit the observer and student to draw conclusions which seem to point out the very breed that have, in days of yore, contributed to the shaping and molding of the excellent modern Guernsey. "1. — One is prompted, by study and comparisons, to say that the most prominent ancestor of the Guernsey cow is the breed, not yet extinct, called 'Froment du Leon,' in Brittany, France. This 'Froment du Leon,' as to the size of frame, is a very small breed, much smaller than the present Guernsey, but possessing the same markings, quite distinct on the animal; namely, red and white, fawn and white, etc. It is active, gaudy, with bright eyes, and is quiet at milkings. It is in truth a charming little gem. "One of the reasons of its smallness may be ascribed to the country where it is bred and lives; there the grass is scanty and short, and the animal has to work hard to pick up a full feed. Another reason is the neglect with which the young stock is raised, the little care taken of it by the breeder even unto this day, except a few well- to-do gentlemen who lately have taken steps to improve it by severe selection, better housing, and, above all, better feeding. "Though the 'Froment du Leon' animal be small, it gives a good flow of milk proportionate to the bulk of the beast. In full milk it produces up to 30 pounds daily of rich, yellow milk, from which butter of the finest quality is made. "Hence by close analogy this cow seems to be the leading origin- ator of our modern Guernsey. "2. — -The second source from which the Guernsey has been formed was the introduction of Norman blood of the brindle variety of cattle, which is yet to be found in the rich butter district of Tsigny, re- nowned as producing the best French butter. This Norman brindle breed is much heavier than either our modern Guernsey or the old 32 The Guernsey Breed 'Froment du Leon,' and gives a good supply of rich milk, often from 60 to 70 pounds daily in its own native land. "This second ancestor of the Guernsey is made obvious by the brindle cattle which, by atavism or reversion, often appear in the Guernsey breed, and also by the black-nosed cows which often are met with in the island. These brindle markings and the black nose come, no doubt, from the Norman brindle. Besides, only a few years back brindle cattle were quite common in the island and had a very good name as milkers. "By selection, since foreign cattle are no more admitted in the island, the brindle marks have almost disappeared, or have a great tendency to do so, as has also the black nose. "Now, the crossing of the two breeds, the small 'Froment du Leon' and the bulky Norman brindle, has given the medium-size cow of Guernsey, in which there seems to be more blood of the first than of the other. Introduction of the Breeds into the Island of Guernsey. "3. — ^Biit when were animals of this breed taken to Guernsey, where resulted the cross? This is the very point on which no record is to be found, yet no stone has been left unturned in the effort to discover some facts of the introduction and crossing. Consequently, the observer and student are left to themselves in a labyrinth of con- jecture, from which they must find a way out by their own re- searches, and draw their own conclusions, at least until some one is fortunate enough to discover something upon which he can build a sure and undeniable proof of the date of the foundation of the excellent and unsurpassed Guernsey breed, the producer of the richest and best butter in the world. "According to the Norman chronicles, the Duke of Normandy sent some monks of 'Mont St. IMichel' to found a new abbey in Guernsey, which new abbey took the name of 'St. Michel du Val.' It was about the year 960. Some years after, Duke William of Normandy gave the monks new lands in the island on the condition that they would till the soil, teach the art of agriculture to the natives, and defend them against the possible encroachments of sea rovers. The extent of their lands included the four parishes known today as 'Vale,' 'Catel,' 'St. Saviour's,' and 'St. Peter in the Woods.' To culti- vate so much land efficiently they had to import animals from the continent as draught beasts and also to supply products directly for their living, their diet consisting mainly of milk, butter and cheese. It is very probable that there were no cattle, or only a few head, as the natives were few in number and very poor, many having been slaughtered or driven into slavery in the previous centuries, and that for resisting sea pirates. "Now, nearly all the founders of the abbey 'St. Michel du Val' were Bretons, and it is, therefore, most natural they should import cattle from their own country. Besides, they were the only body able then to import animals to the island, the natives being too poor and having no taste for breeding, as they were all fishermen. "Some years afterward, about 1061, other monks came from Cherbourg. They established two new abbeys, one on Alderney and one at 'Blancheland,' in Guernsey. These new colonists after settling brought over Norman cattle of the brindle variety, for these settlers were Normans. The cattle they brought over were in the course of The Guernsey Breed 33 time crossed with the 'Froment du Leon' already introduced. It took many years for the two bloods to fuse together and thereby form oitr modern Guernsey. Yet good results crowned the efforts of the breeders. The bulky Norman brindle gave stuff to the offspring, and the 'Froment du Leon' gave lightness to the grade, which has in the course of years became the beautiful Guernsey. "Such would be the origin of the Guernsey cow, and, in the absence of any documents to the contrary, this version seems to be the only probable one, considering the state of the island at such a period in the 10th and 11th centuries. "The likelihood of a fusion of Ayrshire blood does not appear quite satisfactory, because, though the Ayrshire be somewhat of the same type as the Guernsey, the milk it produces is far inferior in quality to that of our breeds; and, if any crossing had taken place, the Guernsey would not today possess the quality of richness of milk in so marked a degree. "Of course, if we consider the different breeds and inquire into their origin, we find much analogy between the Ayrshire, the Welsh, the Kerry, and the Breton breeds, and one is inclined to infer that at one time these four breeds were all developed from the one breed likely to have been dispersed when the Angles made the conquest and settled in England, driving the native Kelts to Wales, to Armorica, as Brittany was then called, and to Ireland. But this took place long before the 10th century. The differences of climate, soil, pasture, treatment, and other causes have wrought such changes in the off- spring that new breeds have thereby become established, differing in color, milking qualities, size and other points that characterize a breed. "Therefore, in conclusion, it is fair to admit that only the 'Fro- ment du Leon' and the bulky Norman brindle are the real and main originators of our modern Guernsey cow." The following quotations from the book, "Annals of Some of tjie British Norman Isles Constituting the Bailiwick of Guernsey," by John Jacob, published in 1830, makes it evident that as early as that date Guernsey was noted in England for its cows. On page 36, under the heading "Agri- culture of Alderney," he says : "With respect to agriculture and horticulture, we find that Devon- shire and Herefordshire are celebrated for their fine cattle and excel- lent cider. Kent, for corn, drill husbandry, and hops. Romney Marsh, sheep and fruits, particularly cherries and filberts. Norfolk, for tur- nip and barley culture. Cheshire, for cheese. Surrey, for Farnham hops. Sussex, for fine cattle and Southdown sheep. Leicestershire, for large sheep and long wool, while Portland Isle is known far and near from its small, highly flavored mutton, and short wool. Thus it is with the Island of Guernsey, which has long been known for its excellent culture of parsnips, as well as for cows, fruits and vege- tables, particularly Chaumontel pears, figs, etc., and broccoli; for cider, for Guernsey lilies and other flowers. "The same may be said of Alderney, with respect to its cows, which, for more than half a century, have been sought for by persons in all parts of England on account of the richness and produce of 34 The Guernsey Breed their excellent cream and butter. I was told by a gentleman of Alderney that though their cows are much smaller, and require less food than those of Guernsey, yet their produce in cream and butter is as great. This may, however, be disputed by the Guernsey gentle- men, as I could not learn that any fair experiment had been made for the purpose of ascertaining the truth." In a footnote Jacob says : "Mr. Sandford, the Jurat, said that Gen. Bayly, when governor of Guernsey, taking a fancy to one of his cows, wished to send her to His Majesty. Mr. Sandford consented, upon the condition that the governor should send him one of the best Guernsey sort. He, therefore, has had both sorts on trial, and he told the writer that he had found the Alderney sort to give as much, if not more, butter than the Guernsey cow. Mr. Sandford also remarked that the Guernsey cows became dry before calving long before the Alderney; at least his did, which, he said, was nearly two months dry; whereas the Alderney cow might be milked, if well fed, almost to the last week before calving." He also says : "All these islands agree, however, in tethering their cattle in the enclosures, let the latter be ever so small, and in milking their cows three times each day; although some exceptions to this rule may be seen, for the Barrack-master, William Hanmer, Esq., whose two cows are among the best of the island, (Alderney). had his milked only twice a day. The two cows gave 17 quarts of milk at each milking; these were not tethered but were changed every night and morning into two different enclosures, while, on the contrary, perhaps the two handsomest cows (one of which had gained the governor's prize) belonging to W. J. Sandford. Esq., produced (he said) each 10 pounds of Initter of 18 ounces to the pound; these were staked out, and milked three times a day. Major Martin also in- formed me that he sold to the governor some time ago, -one of his cows, which produced 14 pounds of butter per week. I saw this cow, but could not praise it for its beauty. I could only say. 'Hand- some is that handsome does.' The major also said that one of his cows, as well as the cow of Mr. Sandford's. graced His Majesty's Park at Windsor. It may be remarked that the general stock of cows and young cattle appeared not to have been well fed." On page 90, regarding the cattle of the Island of Sark. Jacob says : "Their horned cattle are rather larger than the Alderney sort, but they are not handsome; neither are their cows particularly famous for milk, or butter: a fat ox has been known to reach 60 score, or 1,200 pounds, but the average weight may be said to be about 700 pounds; these are also killed in Guernsey. Their horses are neither handsome nor large, but they are hard workers." On page 167. discussing the cattle on the Island of Guernsey, the author continues : "The remarks made on this subject, under the article 'Agriculture in Alderney,' where the comparison is made between the cows of The Guernsey Breed 35 that island and Guernsey, will, in some measure, preclude the neces- sity of entering so largely here upon this head. Both oxen and cows are much superior in size to those of either Jersey, Alderney, or Sark. The ox, of the largest kind, fattened chiefly upon parsnips and hay, with grass in the summer, has been known to have attained the weight of 1,500 pounds, or 75 score, Guernsey weight, as appears from the evidence of the clerk of the market of St. Peter Port, where the animals have been slaughtered and weighed. Quayle says, page 280, 'tliose of 1,200 pounds, or 60 score, appeared not unfrecjuently; in general, they are line animals, and commonly worked in the shafts, sometimes singly, sometimes double, with one or more horses before them. They were broken in early, well attended to, very powerful, very docile draft cattle, and used both for carting and ploughing.' "The Guernsey cows are infinitely larger, taller, and generally of rather a darker color, than those which usually sell in England under that name: These, says Jeremie (page 190) come from Jersey, and may be had much cheaper; the Jersey ox seldom or never weigh- ing above 1,100 pounds, or 55 score. Quayle observes that the ques- tion of preference is stoutly contested by both islands. Jeremie, who is a Guernsey man, contends: 'If price be considered here, as on other occasions, the criterion of value, we have decidedly the ad- vantage; the general average being in favor of the Guernsey farmer by two or three pounds sterling the head.' This argument, prima facie, may appear to be conclusive; but it does not follow that a large cow will be more profitable to the dairyman than a smaller sort, and which may not be so handsome, but which costs less, re- quires less food, and perhaps may produce as much butter or cheese as the larger one. Billingsley's Agricultural Survey of Somersetshire will explain this: 'The cows of this district being intended chiefly for cheesemaking, the profit arising is in proportion to the quantity and the quality of the milk: size, therefore, is not attended to; but prin- cipal regard is paid to the breed whence she sprung.' I may here add that upon my estate in Wales, I had, among many others, an Irish cow, which did not cost above one-third as much as a large Herefordshire or true Glamorganshire; yet this small and ugly cow gave at least a third more milk than any one of the others. Sir John Sinclair, in his Code of Agriculture, page 84, says: 'Small cows, of the true dairy breeds, give proportionably more milk than larger ones.' It is, therefore, most probably the difference in the size of the animal which may cause it to bring a higher price than either the Jersey or Alderney cow, and not the intrinsic merit of the animal itself, for the purpose of the dairy only. Mr. Jeremie himself says (page 191) 'that a Jersey cow will probably produce the same quan- tity of milk, but it will be much inferior in richness; and, therefore, Guernsey butter has invariably borne the palm.' By oflfering the above sentiments I by no means wish to disparage the Guernsey cows, for they are most excellent; neither do I desire to enter into the contest, or to give an opinion which animal is best for exporta- tion to England. This must depend on the taste of the English. If a gentleman or a dairvman prefer a fine, handsome, and large cow to a smaller one, he will come to Guernsey for it; if he should choose a smaller sort he will go to Jersey or Alderney. Good Guernsey cows sell now from £14 to £15 each; but the beauty and quality of the animal often make a difference of some pounds in the price. A 36 The Guernsey Breed cow is judged by the mellow feeling of the hide; by the deep, yellow circle round the eyes; the tip of the tail, and the inside of the ears should also be yellow. The states of the island allow the agricultural society £60 per annum to be bestowed in premiums for improve- ment of their cattle. "Mr. Jeremie is certainly very right when he says: 'The fattest cows are seldom the best milchers,' for this is invariably the case; 'and the best milchers will not always produce the largest quantity of butter.' 'A gentleman,' adds the same author, 'mentioned an in- stance of one of his cows furnishing 18 quarts of milk each day; another gave only 12 quarts, and yet they both produced the same tiuantity of butter, viz., one pound and a half a day.' Instances can be well substantiated of cows giving 15 pounds of butter per week; one, says he, belonging to a friend of mine, calved in the month of March; he kept the calf nine days, sold it then for 18 shillings; in the course of two months from the day of her calving, besides feeding the calf and 60 quarts of milk, she gave 100 pounds of butter. But the general quantity of 'milk and butter, including young and old cows, and in summer and in winter, is rather more than 365 pounds in the year, being equal to one pound of butter, or eight quarts of milk, the supposed general average in the 24 hours.' Three vergees and a half (about one acre and three-fourths, English) of good ground, are considered sufificient for each cow. In Somersetshire, Bdllingsley says (page 144), 'from three to four acres of land will keep a cow throughout the year.' It may be asked: Does this dif- ference arise from the superiority of climate, the excellency or dif- ference in the cattle, or from the mode of management in Guernsey; namely, 'that of the cows being staked by the horns, by means of an iron or wooden stake attached to a halter about 12 feet in length? [Rather a long halter. — ^^C. L. H.] In this manner it is removed four or five times a day, and allowed a fresh range from two to five feet each time, which causes them to eat the grass off remarkably clean.' This, together with being constantly led to and from water, is the cause of their being very docile. The cows here are in- variably milked three times a day in their flush. In order that the reader maj'^ be informed of the true number of the different sorts of horned cattle, which have been exported from the three islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, for the past six years, the following export table, has been procured by a friend, upon the authority of which the public may rely. "Subjoined is a summary of the table of cattle exported from the different islands: Bulls Cows Total export from Jersey, 1822 to 1828 132 8,029 Yearly average 22 1,337 Total export from Guernsey, 1822 to 1828 41 2,132 Yearly average 7 355 Total export from Alderney, 1822 to 1828 11 414 Yearly average 2 69 "In the various parts of England the old-fashioned upright churn is still made use of; in other parts the barrel churn is the only one used; while in some places the veritable patent churn has been adopted. In Somersetshire the common mode is to use no machine at all; the cream alone is put into a deep earthen vessel, or crock, The Guernsey Breed Z7 and with the hand they turn it about till the butter comes; this plan generally brings it sooner than any other; sometimes they scald the milk in the first instance, then, taking ofif the clotted cream, it is thus churned into butter. In Devonshire the milk is always so scalded I)efore it is churned, and the Devonshire butter may vie with any in Great Britain. The churn generally used in Guernsey is the up- right, old-fashioned one; and here they churn the milk with the cream, and generally on the third day; it is commonly put into the churn over night, and when it becomes curdled it is churned, and, in con- sequence of the acidity of the milk, the butter comes quicker, and perhaps cannot be excelled in any part of the world. * * * It may be observed here that no cheese is made in Guernsey. Before we take leave of the subject of cattle, I would remark that the manner of weighing the slaughtered cattle at the market is not by the carcass or quarters of beef, as in England, but with the whole loose fat, skin, and head. An ox, not long since thus weighed, produced a total of 1,601 pounds, or 80 score; but the loose fat and skin weighed 300 pounds, or IS score; the neat carcass, therefore, produced 65 score, which is certainly a large ox. Great attention is paid, by the con- stituted authorities of this island, to the improvement of the breed of cattle, not only by giving small premiums, as before mentioned, but also by enacting laws to prevent the possibility of their becoming degenerated. An Englishman might perhaps be led to imagine that it is contrary to the true spirit of liberty not to be able to choose the sort he may like best; but when it is considered that the honor of the island is at stake, and that, were a free intercourse to take place with France, French cows would in great numbers be brought into the island, and exported to England under the name of Guernsey cows, when they were only French ones; by which means the present lucrative trade of Guernsey cows would be soon abolished, the con- stituted authorities have, therefore, acted most judiciously in enacting the following law, which I shall here translate for the benefit of the English reader: " 'Ordinance of the 17th February, 1824, Before Daniel De Lisle Brock, Esq., Present, Etc. — At the Royal Court. " 'Upon information given to the court, that there had been introduced into this island heifers from France, whose age and condition render them unfit to be butchered within four months, fixed by law — other circumstances also having given reason to believe that the intention is either to keep them for cows, and by that means to degenerate the breed, which the inhabitants of this island have more and more endeavored to improve; or else for the purpose of fraudulently exporting the same into England, which in either case would prove a fatal blow to that branch of industry'; namely, ex- porting our cows to England — upon hearing the conclusion of the at- torney-general, the court has ordered that, provisionally, and until necessary, steps are taken to preclude all sorts of French cows from being imported into this island from France, it is hereby forbidden, after the 10th of March next, to any person to import from France, or elsewhere, any heifer, of what kind soever it may be, under penalty of confiscation of the same, and a fine at discretion of justice, not exceeding £10 sterling per heifer so brought into the island; as well to be paid by the master of the vessel bringing the same, as 38 The Guernsey Breed by the owner of the heifer so brought, or, in default, thereof, by person in possession of the same. And all masters of vessels, or boats, bringing cattle from France shall be bound to render an ac- count thereof, within 24 hours after their arrival, to the constable where the cattle are so landed, as well as to furnish a list of those who are the proprietors, as well as of those to whom the respective cattle are consigned, under a penalty of a fine, at the discretion of justice, not exceeding £5 sterling. And the constables are hereby ordered to keep a register of the cattle so landed in their respective parishes; and all the fines shall be applied, one-fourth to his Majesty, one-fourth to the poor, and half to the informer. "'(Signed) CHARLES LE FBBVRE, " 'Depute Grefifier du Roi.' " In Youatt's book, "Cattle, Their Breed, Management, and Diseases," published in 1834, on page 266, under the head- ing "Foreign Breeds of Cattle," we read as follows : "First among them — and a regular importation of which is kept up — we have the Normandy, or Alderney cattle. The Normandy cattle are imported from the French continent, and are larger and have a superior tendency to fatten; and others are from the islands on the French -coast; but all of them, whether from the continent or the islands, pass under the common name of Alderneys. "Except in Hampshire, they are found only 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 cow or two grazing at a little distance. "John Lawrence describes them as 'light red, yellow, dun or fawn-coloured; short, wild-horned, deer-necked, thin and small-boned, irregularly but often very awkwardly shaped.' "Mr. Parkinson, who seems to have a determined prejudice against them, says that 'their size is small, and they are of as bad a form as can possibly be described; the bellies of many of them are four- fifths of their weight; the neck is very thin and hollow; the shoulder stands up, and is the highest part; they are hollow and narrow be- hind the shoulders; the chine is nearly without flesh; the bucks are narrow and sharp at the ends; the rump is short, and they are narrow and light in the brisket.' This is about as bad a form as can pos- sibly be described, and the picture is very little exaggerated, when the animal is analyzed point by point; yet all these defects are so put together as to make a not unpleasing whole. "The Alderney, considering its voracious appetite — for it devours almost as much as a Shorthorn — yields very little milk. That milk, however, is of an e.xtraordinarily excellent quality and gives mor*' butter than can be obtained from the milk of any other cow. Of this no one can doubt who has possessed any Alderney cows. Some writers on agricultural subjects have, however, denied it. The milk of the Alderney cow fits her for the situation in which she is usually placed, and where the excellence of the article is regarded, and not the expense: but it is not rich enough, yielding the small quantity The Guernsey Breed 39 that she does, to pay for what she costs. On the coast of Hampshire there is great facility in obtaining the Alderney cattle, and they are great favourites there. VVe must refer our readers to the 'Description of Hampshire,' page 215, for the manner in which they have estab- lished themselves in that part of the country, and the various ways in which other breeds have been crossed by them. "One excellence, it must be acknowledged, that the Alderneys possess: when they are dried, they fatten with a rapidity that would be scarcely thought possible from their gaunt appearance, and their want of almost every grazing point, while living. The Duke of Bed- ford exhibited a French ox at the Smithfield cattle show, in 1802, whose four quarters weighed 95 stone 3 pounds and the fat 17 stones 3 pounds, Smithfield weight." On page 215, under "Cattle in Hampshire," Youatt says: "Hither also the Longhorns penetrated, and were the prevailing breed, but they may be said to have perfectly disappeared. They have given way to the Devons, and indeed to breeds of every sort, and, more particularly near the coast, to the Alderney, or smaller breed of Norman cows. About Southampton, the Alderney is the prevalent breed. * * * There are many .facilities for obtaining her from the contiguous islands of Guernsey and Jersey. In this part of the county the Alderney has been crossed with the forest breed, and also with the Suffolk. The forester has improved, and the Norman deteriorated in consequence of the first cross, and the second has been attended with doubtful success. Next to the Alderneys, the Suffolks are most in favour on the coast of Hampshire. "Mr. Gawler, in his 'Report of a North Hampshire Farm' (Far- mer's Series, No. VII., page 15), states that 'the stock in general best adapted to this soil are the Alderney, and the smaller race of Norman cows. The Devonshire and larger breeds require richer pasture; and, although they may be kept in condition, the milk they give is by no means in proportion to the bulk of food they consume. Mr. Gawler's dairy stock was in the proportion of one cow of the Devonshire breed to three of the Alderney or Norman, and the milk was mixed on the presumption that, being thus diluted, it pro- duced better butter, and a larger quantity of it.' "Sir Richard Simeon has favoured us with a description of the cattle in the Isle of Wight. They are a small mixed kind without any of those peculiarities which would mark them as distinct breeds. Scarcely any oxen are bred from them. Cow calves are saved for the purpose of keeping up the dairy, invariably from the best milkers, and not with any view to their aptitude to fatten. "The dairy stock has been occasionally mixed with the Guernseys or Alderney cattle, and with success so far as the quantity and quality of milk go. Some attempts have been made to introduce the Shorthorns, and in some instances the cattle of the island have been improved in size and appearance; but, looking to the general capabilities of the island for the maintenance of large stock, and fitting them for the purpose of the butcher, it may be doubtful whether the smaller and rougher kind of cattle may not be a safer description of stock, and likely to produce a better result to the farmer. The Alderney is a favorite breed. A cross between the Devon has pro- duced some very good cows here, well adapted for the dairy, and not unprofitable for the butcher. 40 The Guernsey Breed "The value of the Isle of Wight cattle depends almost exclusively upon their being good milkers: for the purpose of the butcher, many of them are of little value, on account of the generally received opinion, that a cow which has an aptitude to fatten is a bad_ milker. The farmers rarely breed from a cow which has good points for grazing." It will be noted that in both of these quotations the cattle from the Channel Islands are classed with the cattle of the Norman coast and are spoken of as Norman. In another history of the island, published in 1830, the only reference to the cattle of the islands is this : "The cattle of the islands are Normans and are noted for their rich yel- low milk." In a little guide to the islands, published in 1840 and called "The Privileged Islands," on page 14, the writer makes mention of the cattle on the Island of Alderney as follows : "The Alderney cow, so famed all over the United Kingdom. I have been told in the other islands that in this island alone I should find the true breed, black and white: but I did not find that the Alderney people adopt this criterion of purity of breed; red and white, and brown and white I found equally common; and the best specimens I saw were of a white and reddish chocolate colour. The natives look more to the short, curved horns and prominent, sparkling eyes than to the colour. I found it, however, generally admitted that there is but very little distinction between the Alderney cow and the best specimens of the Jersey and Guernsey." This bare mention is all the author gives of the cattle of the Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. The following is from the Guernsey and Jersey Magazine, Vol. v., 1831, page 269, republished from Penny Magazine, September 2, 1837, on "Guernsey, Sark, Herm, and Jethou." "Alderney has given name to the beautiful little cattle of the Channel Islands, and of which their natives are so proud. Special laws, both in Jersey and Guernsey, protect the purity of the breed. The importation of foreign cattle is strictly prohibited under heavy penalties; and there is considerable rivalry between Guernsey and Jersey as to which produces the best and purest specimen of the Alderney cow. The greater number of Alderney cows known in England are exported from Jersey; but a Guernsey farmer would not admit a Jersey cow upon his grounds. "The prevailing opinion seems to be that the Guernsey breed is really better than the Jersey: and the Guernsey butter, which js better than that of Jersey (both are excellent) is appealed to in support of the opinion. Yet, as is very natural, the people of Alderney affirm that their cow can only be produced, in all of its handsomeness of figure and excellence of quality, on its own native island, and that the Guernsey and Jersey are deteriorations. Some judges are of this opinion; and it is stated that the Alderney cow can only be dis- The Guernsey Breed 41 tinguished from those of the neighboring island by being remarkably small and straight of back, with prominent sparkling eyes." Ouayle, writing- in 1812, states: "The treasure highest in a Jerse3'man's estimation is his cow. She seems to be a constant object of his thoughts and attention, and that attention she certainly deserves. In the summer she is staked to the ground, but her position is shifted five or six times a day. In winter she is warmly housed and fed with the precious parsnip. When she calves she is regaled with toast and cider, the nectar of the island, to which powdered ginger is added." Regarding the origin, he says : "The breed was derived from the contiguous continential coast, yet it is not known that in any part the same breed is preserved in equal purity." Regarding the color, Onayle writes : "The colour here is commonly red or white, occasionally what is called cream coloured, or that colour mixed with white. Soine- times they are black or black and white like the northwest high- landers are black, with a dingy, brown-red ridge on the back and about the nostrils of the same colour.' They have all a good pile, generally thin-skinned, and fatten soon. If in any point they are universally deficient it is in being narrow in the haunch." Writing in 1834, H. D. Ingiis is quoted by Mr. Thornton as having stated that greater attention had been bestowed on the cattle of Guernsey than of Jersey, and his notions of the Alderney were disappointing. "I found it, however," he said, "everywhere admitted that there is little distinction between the Alderney and best specimens of Jersey cattle. The Guern- sey cow, though of the same breed, is a large animal." Mr. Thornton, in his article in the Royal Agricultural Journal, Vol. 17, published in 1881, gives the following par- ticulars regarding first impressions of the Jersey breed in Eng- land : "Having thus endeavored to show the manner by which the island breeders improved their native cattle, it is necessary to show the progress which the breed has made in this country during the present century. As far back as 1794 an experiment was tried in Kent between a large, home-bred cow, doubtless a Suffolk, eight years old, and an Alderney, two years old. "The cow in seven days gave 35 gallons of milk, which made lOj/ pounds of butter; the Alderney, 14 sallons, which made 6^^ pounds, or more than double the amount of ounces of butter to the gallon of milk. In writing the history of the Jersey cow in this country, it is difificult to distinguish between the Jersey and the Guernsey, and even the Brittany; for all the Channel Islands cattle bore the common name of Alderney, an island tliat supplies a very small number (scarcely 100 annually) and whose breed now, by the use of Guernsey bulls, has become larger and coarser than the fine, deer-like Jersey. 42 The Guernsey Breed "The difference, too, between the Jersey and the Guernsey has become very much more marked of late years, both in size and colour, and particularly of the head, horns, and nose. The Jersey is the smaller animal, finer in its limbs, neater in its frame, and more thoroughbred looking in its appearance. The eye is bright, black, often with a white rim, and the muzzle intensely black, also with a light-coloured rim round it. This is one of the most striking dif- ferences between the Jersey and Guernsey, the latter having usually a flesh-coloured or stained nose, and a lightish yellow and white body, being also larger of stature and coarser of limb. The yield of milk, too, is larger in the Guernsey, yet there is little, if any, difference m the yield of butter; indeed, some contend that the Jersey will yield more butter and is a smaller consumer of food. Be this as it may, there is no question as to the Guernsey giving the larger yield of milk; and when large yields are spoken of as coming from an Alderney cow, it is more often found to be from a Guernsey than a Jersey. Guernsey cows have occasionally been taken into Jersey; but crosses between the breeds have not been successful; the yellow colour and pink nose usually crop up in the offspring, which retains a coarseness at once detected and rejected by the island judges." The following notes, taken from Vol. I of the Herd Reg- ister of the American Jersey Cattle Club, published in 1872, will be of interest : "The Alderney cow has been held in high repute as a producer of cream and butter ever since the days when Tabitha Bramble wrote, in 1771. to Mrs. Gwyllim, housekeeper at Brambleton Hall: 'I am astonished that Mr. Lewis should take upon him to give away Alder- ney without my privity and concurrants. * * * Alderney gave four gallons a day ever since the calf was sent to the market.' " In 1844 Col. Le Couteur, the Queen's Aide-de-Camp in Jersey, contributed to the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng- land an essay on "The Jersey, misnamed Alderney, Cow," which is here copied, nearly entire, from the Society's Journal, Vol. v., page 43. "The breed of cattle familiarly known throughout Great Britain as the Alderney, and correctly termed, in the article 'Cattle,' of the 'Library of Useful Knowledge,' 'the crumpled horned,' was originally Norman, it is conceived, as cows very similar to them in form and color are to be seen in various parts of Normandy, and Brittany also; but the difference in their milking and creaming qualities is really astonishing, the Jersey cow producing nearly double the quan- tity of butter. "The race is miscalled 'Alderney' as far as Jersey is in question: for, about 70 years since, Mr. Dumaresq, of St. Peter's, afterwards the chief magistrate, sent some of the best Jersey cows to his father- in-law, the then proprietor of Alderney; so that the Jersey was, already at that period, an improved, and superior to the Alderne3% race. It has since been vastly amended in form, and generally so in various qualities, though the best of those recorded at that period gave as much milk and butter as the best may do now. The Guernsey Breed 43 "Ten years have elapsed since the attempt was first made by fixed rules to improve the form and quality of the Jersey cow. A few gentlemen, presided over by the then lieutenant-governor, Major- General Thornton, selected two beautiful cows, with the best qual- ities, as models. One of these was held to be perfect in her barrel and fore-quarters, the other equally so in her hind-quarters. From these two the following points were laid down to be the rule for governing the judges in all the cattle shows of the Jersey Agricultural Society." The scale of points referred to will be found in Chapter III. A large part of Col. Le Couteur's report can be found in Vol. I of the herd book of the American Jersey Cattle Club. The following letter, received from Col. Le Couteur in response to enquiries by the American Jersey Cattle Club, will also be of interest : "Belle Vue, Jersey, Sept. 14, 1869. "Dear Sir: — I fear that my absence from Jersey will render this letter of no avail to you for the publication of your Jersey Herd liook, spoken of in your letter to me of the 30th of June, last. "I have only experience to add to anything I may have written in my essay on the Jersey cow in the Journal of the Royal Agricul- tural Society of England in 1844, which has reappeared in the Trans- actions of the New York State Agricultural Society of 1850. "Our farmers have not the singular variety of ideas as to the appearance and character of our breed which you describe to prevail among the members of j'our club. Our breed is believed to be a local pure breed, its original milking and butyraceous qualities having been improved, more than three-quarters of a century back, by care- fully crossing in the line: in that view, then, without much regard to beauty of form. Later, since the formation of our present society, of which I was the first honorary secretary in 1834, great attention has been constantly paid to combine beauty of form with butter- producing habits. "The outline history of our breed is this: In-the year 1789 the Jersey cow was already considered so good, so superior to any then known, I imagine, that an act of our local legislature (which for such ends is quite independent of the British Parliament) was passed, by which the importation into Jersey of cow, heifer, calf or bull was prohibited, under the penalty of 200 livres, with the forfeiture of boat and tackle, besides a fine of 50 livres to be imposed on every sailor on board who did not inform of the attempt at importation. Moreover, the animal was decreed to be immediately slaughtered, and its flesh given to the poor. Later laws are equally stringent; no foreign horned cattle are ever allowed to come to Jersey but as butcher's meat. "Guernsey cattle are not deemed foreign, but there are scarcely ever a dozen of that breed in our island. They are of larger bone and carcass, considered to be coarse, though famous milkers, re- quiring much more food than the Jersey. Our judges at our cattle shows have discarded both them and their progeny. "Those enterprising American farmers who have visited Jerse> 44 The Guernsey Breed and have found a marked difference to exist between the cattle of the eastern district and those of the western district, being cursory visitors, may not have been aware of what I am to state. I believe the type to be the same. The difference in appearance is thus ac- counted for: The north and northwest coast of Jersey is high and precipitous, a bold syenite rock, rising 200 and more feet from the level of the sea. Its nearest shelter in a westerly or southwesterly direction is the island of Newfoundland, on the British-American shore. Southwest gales prevail here nine months out of the 12. While I am writing a hurricane from the southwest has burst over us and burned all the exposed trees like a flame; it has ruined scores of orchards and gardens, leveled many trees, leaving the pastures like damaged hay. Hence this elevated coast has usually a short, scant, rich, nutritious herbage, from being so frequently saturated with saline moisture. Thus the cattle on this side are small, fine- limbed, and hardy. "The southward half of Jersey may be called an inclined plane, gradually and beautifully slanting to the sea-shore, watered by in- numerable streams. A part of it is a rich alluvial soil and meadow land so sheltered and warmed as to produce fruit and vegetables a fortnight or three weeks sooner than in my neighborhood. The cattle of this district are, consequently, fed on a richer pasture. They are larger in carcass, some think handsomer, than those of the upland. I consider them to be more delicate. "The late Earl Spencer, and former president of the Royal Agri- cultural Society of England, an able and worthy contemporary of Bates, Booth and other noted Shorthorn breeders, had a fine little herd of Jerseys. When on a visit to him at Althorp, in 1839, he strongly advised me to recommend our farmers never to venture on a foreign cross, nor with Shortliorns or Devons; merely to cross the cows of the low, rich pastures with the hardy bulls of the exposed northern coasts, and vice versa. We had established a character in our cows for creaming and milking habits peculiar to our crumpled- horned race to hold to, by which means alone our breed might con- tinue as renowned in the next century as it has been in the present one. Many have held to that sound advice. "I shall be much honoured by receiving a copy of your Jersey Herd book, and shall, moreover, feel much gratified if what I have written shall prove interesting or useful to you. Believe me to be, "Very truly yours, (Signed) "J. LE COUTEUR. "To Col. Geo. E. Waring Jr., Secretary, etc." The following- extract, also taken from the American Jersey Cattle Chib Field Book, Vol. I, written by Dr. L. H. Twaddell, who visited the Channel Islands, in 1865, will be of interest : "Three thousand Jersey cows and heifers and about 1,200 Guern- seys are exported from the islands every year. "The Jersey cow is of a medium size. Her peculiar, deer-like aspect distinguishes her from the Guernsey. Her head is long and slender, the muzzle fine, and usually encircled with a lighter color; the nose is black, and the large, dreamy eyes encircled with a black band; occasionally the nose is of a buff color, when there is a cor- The Guernsey Breed 45 responding buflf band around the eye; the horns are usually short, small at the base, tapering, and tipped with black. "The Jerseys are of all shades of color, from a pale yellow fawn, running through all tlie intermediate hues, even occasionally to a red, an intermixture of black or gray, known as French gray, and that merging into black with an amber-colored band along the back, the muzzle invariably shaded with a lighter color; and individuals are often seen black and white, or pure black, unrelieved by any other color. "A yellow brindle is sometimes seen, but this is by no means a favorite. "The bulls are slaughtered at three years old; the opinion pre- vails there that the oflfspring of young bulls have most vigor and stamina. "The Guernsey is a larger animal, coarser in the head and heavier in bone; the horns are longer and thicker at the base, not usually crumpled; the rump is more apt to assume that peculiar droop which seems a characteristic of the breed, and there is a want of that symmetry and neatness of form that mark the highly bred Jersey, but as a dairy cow she is fully her equal; for quality of milk and butter she cannot be excelled; the skin is of a splendid, rich, yellow hue, and the udder and teats are tinted with chrome. "The head of the Guernsey is larger, the muzzle broader, and the eye not so prominent as the Jersey; the nose is usually of a rich yellow or bufT; the eye banded with the same color. "The colors of the Guernsey are fawn, running through the various shades to a deep red, an amber brown and a peculiar yellow brindle, which is a favorite here. "Although larger than the Jersey, I do not think they fatten quite as kindly as the latter, which has the advantage of a smoother and more rotund form. "This thinness and want of condition may be owing in a great degree to the fact that the pasturage, is less luxuriant in Guernsey, and also that the Guernseymen are less solicitous about the figure and style of their animals, being satisfied if the animal is a per- former at the pail — where she seldom disappoints. "The cattle of the Island of Alderney (which is the third in size of the Channel group) have a want of uniformity, attributable to the fact that they are the offspring of stock brought from Jersey and Guernsey, crossed and re-crossed until all individuality as a breed is lost. "Some are neat and deer-like; others are larger and heavier, ap- proaching the Guernsey type. "The island being small and rocky, the pasturage scanty, very few cattle are bred, and, as a consequence, the breed does not re- ceive the care and attention that is given on the other islands. "It_ is as a dairy animal that the Channel Islands cow puts forth her claim for consideration." The following- quotation is from the same source: "The early importations of Jersey cattle into this country are most difficult to trace. The animals were then called Alderneys, and the same name was given to Guernsey cattle of which a goodly number were brought over, and they seem to have been inter-bred somewhat indiscriminately. 46 The Guernsey Breed "In September, 1840, three Alderney cows were purchased by the late Nicholas Biddle. They were imported from the Island of Guernsey and brought to the port of New York in the schooner Pilot, Captain Beleir. They turned out to be remarkably fine ani- mals. This stock crossed by later importations, is maintained in its purity at Andalusia, Bucks county, Pa., the country seat of Mr. Biddle, and still in possession of his family. "The earlier importations made by R. L. Colt, of Paterson, N. J., were of Guernsey animals, or at least there were Guernsey animals among them. About 15 years ago he became satisfied of the su- periority of the Jersey stock and disposed of his Guernseys and made fresh importations. It has been alleged that the importations made by Mr. Gushing, of Watertown, Mass., were in part Guernseys; but this has been authoritatively denied, and the Gushing herd has been proven to be of pure Jersey stock. The Guernsey animals in these earlier importations have been a source of great annoyance to the committee in passing upon animals offered for entry. In many in- stances fine animals, carefully bred, and believed by their owners Jersey Belle of Scituate 7828, A. J. C. C. — 25 lbs. 3 oz. butter in seven days, 705 lbs. in a year. This picture illustrates the striking resemblance between early Guernsey and Jersey cows. She was noted for her particularly yellow butter, which would again liken her to the Guernsey. to be pure Jersey have had to be rejected because remotely tracing to the Biddle or the earlier Gushing importations. Their rejection was, of course, no criticism on their quality." All of these quotations go to prove that the marked dif- ference between the Guernsey and Jersey of today is largely due to their improvement along somewhat different lines since The Guernsey Breed 47 1870. It is very evident also that but slight attention was paid by the farmers of the islands to differences in the cattle from another of the islands. In searching for information that would throw light upon the time when a distinction began to be drawn between the two breeds I was reminded of the story told of an old woman who, when she heard some Daughters of the American Revolution talking about their pedigrees, said : "There's a wholfi lot of people who had better not study their pedigrees : they may find something that they do not want to know." But it is very evident that, while, as a matter of local pride, there was not an extensive admixture of the cattle from one island to the other, and, while there were laws pro- hibiting the importation of foreign cattle, the cattle of any one of the Channel Islands were not considered foreign on any of the other islands. lack and white cow on Alderney. I have found plenty of references to the taking of cattle from both Guernsey and Jersey to Alderney and from both Guernsey and Alderney to Jersey, and, while I do not find any direct reference to the taking of cattle from Jersey to Guernsey, it is very certain, from the color of many of the cattle on the Island of Guernsey, that there must have been an admixture of Jersey blood not many generations ago. As 48 The Guernsey Breed recent as 1913 I saw in Guernsey two registered cows, both daughters of the well known Fanny's Sequel, that were Jersey in type and were solid, dingy black with black noses and tails. Plenty of Jersey cows also show the Guernsey type of color so plainly that, even if no more positive evidence were available, no one- could reasonably doubt for a moment that there had been in comparatively recent years an exchange of cattle from one island to another and that, within a century, and probably within 60 or 70 years, the islanders themselves considered the cattle of the different islands one and the same breed. In 1871 there was held on the Island of Jersey a Chan- nel Islands Exposition, and a few cattle were taken over from Guernsey to Jersey for that show. P. Mahy, of the Landes du Marche, Vale, took over the bull Fair Lad 7, F. S., the bull that won the Prix Douglas at the Whitsuntide Show, Guernsey, that year. He was awarded first prize in the Guern- sey class at the exposition. Mr. Nicholle, a breeder of Jersey, was so impressed with the opportunity he saw to improve the cattle on that island that he tried to induce Mr. Mahy to leave Fair Lad on that island for two months, offering to keep the bull free of charge and to pay £1 per cow service fee. This Mr. Mahy refused to do. This statement is vouched A typical Normandy cow. The blood of Norman cattle of the brindle variety is one source from which the Guernsey has been formed.

It is of interest here to note also that with the bull, Fair Lad, he showed the heifer. Queen of the Field, which he tells me was one of the first animals of the now well known Jessie family. I have been told many times that the present cattle of Normandy were very similar in color and form to the Jerseys, but on a visit in 1912 to the northern part of Normandy in the vicinity of Cherbourg I saw no cattle that in form or color looked like Guernseys. They were larger, coarser, and nearly all black or brown in color, with white heads. The accompany- ing illustrations are of typical cows as I saw them in that dis- trict, and of a herd tethered in the fields. There is a celebrated painting in the Tate Gallery, Lon- don, done in 1820 by the well known English animal painter, James Ward, 1769-1859, that is deserving of our study. The picture is called "Protection," and is now labeled "An Al- derney Bull, Cow and Calf." The bull is decidedly brindle and spotted with white, with a white, spotted face and black nose. The cow is yellow in color, one-half to two-thirds white, and a buff nose. The calf is white with quite a black, mottled nose. The cow has medium large teats. Both have 50 The Guernsey Breed medium, up-standing horns, and the bull is very heavy in the shoulders and light in the hind quarters. There are numerous other pictures in existence, 80 to 125 years old, purporting to represent so-called Alderney cows, these show animals varying in color from light yellow through shades of fawn, brown, and brindle to black. This is additional proof that there was, only a few years ago, mucii less difference in the breeds of cattle on the several islands than writers have ordinarily led us to believe. We are re- minded, too, that cattle in a particular district will vary greatly in color in a few generations. There are several ])ictures in the National (jallery, Lon- don, by the Holland artist, Guyp, a celebrated artist of the 15th century. Certain animals in several different pictures of his show a similarity that suggests they were all painted from a sketch he has made of a cow in the field. Several animals represented are fawn, or fawn and white, or brown and white. Their colors and form would indicate that they were similar to the cattle of the Channel Islands as seen in the earliest pictures and descriptions that we have of them. This means, if it means anything, that the cattle of Holland and the Channel Islands had probably a common origin not many centuries ago. The question of the origin of the breed is not nearly so Fascination 2d 4665, P. S. Dam of t\\ The Guernsey Breed 51 interesting- and important as the question of the men who first conceived the idea of breeding and developing a strain of cattle to produce milk, cream and butter of a golden yellow color, which we find most highly emphasized in the Guernsey, and which appears to a more limited extent in the Jersey. . It is very evident from the scale of points to be given in Chapter III, that the yellow skin which denotes highly colored produce, was prized as early as 1850. Just when the islanders began to prize this trait and when particular meas- ures were used to preserve and improve it are unknown. CHAPTER III. Development of the Breed on the Island The Island Scale of Points The real development of the breed on the Island, as far as we have any history of it, dates from the passage of the laws against the importation of foreign cattle quoted in Chap- ter II. The figures giving the number of animals exported during different periods of time show that nearly a century ago the Guernsey farmer had a lucrative cattle trade* with England. As the English buyer demanded an animal with a more finished form, the records show that as early as 1830 a scale of points had already been drawn up with the end in view of making the breed more symmetrical. It was used as a basis of comparison for awarding the prizes at the various shows. The records also inform us that as early as 1830 the Guernsey farmers talked of a cow that would give 15 pounds of butter in a week; so it is evident that she was considered most from a dairy standpoint all through the years of her development, but, nevertheless, some attention was paid to the beef quality of the breed, especially of the bullocks. Jeremie, writing about 1828, says : "There are certain points of excellence which receive the reward. The following points are the standard by which the judges determine: Points "1. Pedigree as well of the bull as of the cow, yellow ears, tail, and good udder 7 "2. General appearance, handsome color, cream, light red, or both mixed with white 3 "3.

Le Couteur and published between 1830 and 1840, is of interest as showing what was being done along the same lines in Jersey at this time: "Another most important benefit conferred on the island by the Agricultural and Horticultural Society has been the decided improve- 54 The Guernsey Breed ment in the form of the cattle.

A heifer shall be considered perfect at 25 points. "No prize should be awarded to cows and heifers having less than 21 points. 'Three more points are recommended to be added for general appearance, size, and condition, which will j'ct increase the merits of the cows. The chief advantages in specifying points have been to make the farmers perceive what were the defects in their own cows, and to constitute most of them as good judges as the cattle dealers themselves." These early scales of points were doubtless revised from time to time. In 1882 the following scale for cows only was published in Vol. 1 of the herd book of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society: 1. Registered pedigree 6 2. Head rather long and' fine, with quiet and gentle expression. . 3 3. Cheek small, throat clean 4 4. Muzzle broad, nostrils wide and open 4 The Guernsey Breed 55 Points 5.

The scale of points in use on the Island of Guernsey for the last few years is as follows : The Guernsey Breed 57 Rule 37— Scale of Points for Bulls. Dairy Temperament Constitution — 53.

The 1)uff nose is fash- ionable in the show ring, but it is safe to say that this fashion has not been helpful to the Guernsey breed'. As in the past, it is well known that many of the brindles and dark cows have been among the very best animals. Cattle being loaded for exportation, Guernsey. From 1881 to 1886 there was an excellent demand for cattle to be brought to America, but following that there was a period of great depression on the islands, for, from the year 1899 to 1903, only 800 pedigree cows were registered. In the introduction to Vol. XII. of the Herd Book published in 1903, the following is offered by way of explanation : The Guernsey Breed 59 "Cultivation under glass, and the bulb culture have developed exceedingly within the last few years, and these, with the produce industry, have considerably encroached on the land area of the island, already too limited. Consequently, it is not surprising that the stable has been neglected and' the breeding interest has suffered for a time. We say 'for a time' advisedly, for, as we have pointed out, there are hopeful signs of a sound and beneficial revival in the breeding inter- est. No doubt this is due in a measure also to the fact which ex- perience has taught, the comparative certainty in breeding against the always existing uncertainty of glass or market produce, as well as the uncertain fluctuations in market prices." li Churning. Since that time, however, the glass-hotise indtistry has in- creased from year to year, and at the same time there are more cattle on the island now than ever before. Commencing' with the year 1904, exportation to America began to increase and there has been a steady growth until the present, when from 600 to 1,000 animals are now exported each year. The cattle on the island are kept mostly in herds of from three to six cows, though at the present time two or three 60 The Guernsey Breed breeders have each as many as 50 or 60 head, young and old, and H. M. Ozanne, of Lily vale, at one time had upward of 100 head. The calves are taken from the cows when they are from a few hours to three or four days old, and are fed the new milk for two or three weeks. The fresh cows are nearly always milked three times a day and the calves are then fed three times a day. A few farmers have cream separators and thus have warm skimmed-milk to feed their calves. But most of them still follow the method that has evidently been in vogue for generations, of souring and churning the whole-milk. Then the calves are fed the butter-milk, which naturally is thinner than butter-milk from churned cream. The calves are early tethered out-of-doors, and it is to this out-of-door life that we must seemingly attribute the health and vigor of the island cattle. The butter is nearly all made into small, round prints and sold to private customers in St. Peter Port. It is also commonly on display in the public market, where it is usually offered for sale in prints of from one to one and one-half pounds, placed in the center of a large cabbage leaf. It was the butter thus displayed in the markets that first attracted the attention of visitors from England and America to the island's breed of cows. For some reason a marked difference may be noticed in the color of the butter from different herds of the island. Some farmers' wives always bring very yellow butter to market, while others offer a much paler product. Many who do not realize how dense the population of the island is often ask where the islanders market their butter, thinking that a large surplus must be shipped away. As a matter of fact, not nearly enough is produced for home con- sumption, for one may see displayed in the market windows butter from Jersey, France, England and Denmark, and not butter only but large quantities of margarine as well. The prevailing price of Guernsey butter is 50c per pound, while the imported butter sells for 5 or 10c less, the price of the latter fluctuating with the English market. Milk is sold at retail for 8c per quart. It is instructive to go through the market building, where 30 or 40 stalls are used for the display and sale of meat, and observe the marked difference in the color of the fat of the local beef as compared with the beef imported from America and the Argentine. The Guernsey Breed 61 A strange fact came to my notice at my last visit, that when butchers on Jersey slaughter an animal with particularly yellow fat they send the meat over to be sold in Guernsey. This bears out the oft-repeated assertion that often an indi- vidual Jersey will yield butter as yellow as that of any Guern- sey. But this is not universal for the Jersey breed, whereas Guernsey butter is always yellow, and the Guernsey people have learned to prefer beef with yellow fat. They know that yellow fat is not an indication of an old animal, which is a popular misconception in our country. I have eaten some most excellent beef in Guernsey from native cattle. Many steers are fattened and butchered for the Christmas trade. Contagious diseases have up to recent years been compara- tively unknown in the Channel Islands. There was at least one serious outbreak of foot and mouth disease many years ago, but it was entirely stamped out and there has never been a recurrence of it. No case of tuberculosis has ever been known among the cattle of Alderney and never a reaction to the tuberculin test fro'm any of the several hundred head imported from there. The same was true of Guernsey up to a few years ago, and our government made an exception of the Channel Islands in the laws requiring that every animal coming into the coun- try must pass the tuberculin test, either before shipment or before being released from quarantine on this side. In 1905 or 1906, one or two cases of tuberculosis devel- oped in American herds in animals that had been recently im- ported from Guernsey, and these were traced back to an island herd whose owner had secured special permission from the Royal Court of the island to allow him to take animals from his herd to England for exhibition purposes, a privilege that had been accorded other breeders. This special permission was required because of the law forbidding the return of any animal taken off the island. Our government at once applied the tuberculin test law to the cattle coming from Guernsey and Alderney, the same being in force until the spring of 1914, when Alderney cattle were again exempted from the test. Before rigid measures were taken to stamp out the dis- ease in Guernsey it had spread by sale of stock to several other herds of the island. Each succeeding year the authorities thought they had discovered the last case, but would find others in some new herd, every case being traced back to the cattle of the first diseased herd. 52 The Guernsey Breed It is to be hoped that the authorities will shortly apply the tuberculin test to every animal on the island, and if this were done twice and disinfectants intelligently used, I think the disease could be entirely stamped out. I confidently expect to see the scourge again banished from Guernsey. As far as I have been able to discover, there is no con- tagious abortion or other serious cattle disease aside from tu- berculosis on the Channel Islands. This happy circumstance should continue, because of the isolation of the islands, to- gether with the marked improvement in the care of cattle. Records do not seem to tell when the first public shows were held on the island, but it was certainly as far back as 1842. The Royal Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Alderney II 2215, P. S. King's Cup, Guerncey, 1910. Sire of nine A. R. cows. Society have records of the animals winning at these shows since 1852. To this system of shows must be given a large part of the credit for the development of the breed along .present lines of symmetry. For this reason, even at the risk of making this book somewhat cumbersome, it seems appropriate to include the roll of prize winners at the island shows since 1878, the earliest date that the records of the society show the names of both animals and owners. In Vol. 1 of the Herd Book of this Society, issued in 1882, are the records of a few animals shown The Guernsey Breed 63 in earlier years than 1878, and these names have been added to the list.

The regular animal show conducted by the Royal Guern- sey Agricultural Society has always been held on the Tuesday of Whitsuntide, and a second show for bulls only was held at Michaelmas. Later shows have been held especially for the awarding of the queen's prize and later for the king's cup. A second regular show has since 1911 been held in August of each year. A few years ago an association was organized called The Guernsey Farmers' Association, and they too hold a regular summer show. On the Island of Jersey shows are held in each parish, but no attempt to hold a parish show had been made on the Island of Guernsey until the fall of 1913, when a very success- ful show was held in St. Saviour's.

On Guernsey at a special animal show the King' of Eng- land offers cups for the two best bulls and a cup for the best cow. On Alderney the king offers cups for the best bull and the best cow, which are awarded at the annual summer show. On Sark a king's cup is awarded to the best animal at their annual show. An animal may win the king's cup but once. Thus in the above list of prizes Governor of the Chene, for example, won the king's cup in July, 1907, and, though he won first prize again in Aug-ust, 1913, the king's cup was awarded to Raymond's Pearl King. These cups are, of course, much cov- eted, not only because they indicate that the animal won first prize but also because they represent the interest of His Maje- sty in their shows. 94 The Guernsey Breed The first interest in a herd book was manifested in 1876, when a few g^entlemen proposed a book in which the entries should be limited to animals in which they were interested. A list of some 170 animals was published in 1879 under the name of "The Guernsey Herd Book." The total number reg- istered by them was 36 bulls and 297 cows with their produce, selected from about 50 herds. The following quotation from Mabel 330, F. S. 1st prize, 1509. the introduction to Vol. I. of the Herd Book of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society continues the history of the development of the registry : "The question was by this time seriously entertained in com- mittee whether a Herd Book ought not to be issued under the auspices of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society. Then the promoters of the existing registry offered to hand over their work to the society, which, after careful deliberation, was eventually ac- cepted by a general meeting of its members. It was also decided that all bulls and milch cows that had been awarded prizes by the society since the year 1877 should be added to the list as qualified stock. At subsequent meetings it was further resolved — in order that no really good specimens may be excluded from the registry — The Guernsey Breed 95 that opportunities of admission should be afforded by the establish- ment of local shows in dififerent parts of the island, where animals belonging either to members or non-members might be examined and, if qualified, registered. "It was found that the majority of qualified cows were the prog- eny of bulls that had been awarded prizes by the society prior to the period from which the registry was supposed to date, amongst whicn were some of the finest strains that our breed has ever produced. These have been incorporated (Nos. 27 to 94), thereby enabling breeders in many cases to trace crosses for at least 10 years." Nellie III 762, P. Cup, 1909; King's Cup, Reserve, 1907-08. Among the by-laws adopted were those requiring that "the same name shall not be given to more than one animal except with a prefix or suffix." This rule has never been en- forced, and much confusion has been the result. By-law 4 requires : "The proprietors of Herd Book stock shall, within 24 hours after the calving of a cow or heifer, belonging to such stock, obtain the attestation of a member of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society to a certificate proving that the calf is the offspring of such cow or heifer, according to Form A. "Any person detected as having made a false declaration, or hav- ing participated therein, shall forfeit the advantages of the Herd Book, and the false entry shall be erased therefrom." By-law 5 requires : "The proprietors of qualified bulls shall keep a correct entry 96 The Guernsey Breed (for the information of the committee when required) of all cows and heifers which may have been served by their bulls, according to Form B, and' deliver to the owner of each animal served a duplicate of the same. Serving fee to members not less than 2s. 6d; to non- members, not less than 5s." More or less jealousy and differences of opinion seem to have existed among the island farmers, as a result of which Part 1 of the "General Herd Book of the Island of Guernsey" was issued in 1881, and this rival publication was kept up for about 15 years. In the meantime the Herd Book of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society gradually increased in general Nellie i'Ji. h'. S., on Alderney (Dairy Maid of the Preel 3268, F. S. on Guernsey.

First prize, English Royal, 1908. recognition, not only on the island itself but more especially by the American Guernsey Cattle Club. The preface from Vol. I of the "General Herd Book" is well worth reading because of references to purity of blood, color, and prizes. It is as follows : "A few words are necessary to explain the nature and object of the Herd Book, of which the first part is now issued, especially in view of the circumstance that another publication bearing the same name, but of quite different character, has already appeared. "The purposes of a Herd Book are, firstly, to register pure-bred stock, and secondly, by recording pedigrees, to enable the scientific breeder to follow and select the strains of blood which he deems most valuable. In carrying out this design in the leading herd books of The Guernsey Breed 97 Great Britain and America it is left to the owners to register such animals as they think fit, subject only to the condition of proving their purity of breed. "But in the Channel Islands, where purity of blood is secured by laws prohibiting importation of breeding stock, it had occurred to some persons to make an entirely diflferent idea form the basis of a Herd Book. Following a suggestion which was first started' in Jer- sey, a few gentlemen in Guernsey, about five years ago, proposed a Herd Book in which the entries were to be limited to animals which they themselves should approve. They inserted some which were already dead, and took for their standard of living ones their own ideas as to external appearance, together with the 'milk test' invented by M. Guenon, a Frenchman, who conceived he had discovered an infallible criterion of the quantity of milk a cow would' yield in the direction of certain lines of hair between the udder and the root of the tail. Of this discovery it is sufficient to say that, whether suc- cessful or not with French breeds, it is proved to be entirely falla- cious when applied to Guernsey cows. A list of some 170 animals, made up on these principles, was published' in 1879 under the name of 'The Guernsey Herd Book,' and a second part was subsequently issued. "The great majority of Guernsey farmers, however, held aloof from this scheme; and dissatisfaction with the results of the judging caused' some of its first supporters to leave it. In 1881 its projectors offered to hand it over to the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of the Island. That body, by a narrow majority, in which a number of persons who were not owners of stock were included, decided to take over the publication insofar as it had' already pro- ceeded; to add to it its own show prize lists of the two preceding years; and to carry it on for the future by inserting only the names of such animals as might take prizes at future shows. These ex- ceed 100 in each year, prizes being given to considerably more than half of the number exhibited. But still further to augment the number to be inscribed in the Herd Book as winners of prizes, it was re- solved to hold parish shows, at which no money prizes should be given, but every animal passed by the judges should be entitled to be registered in the Herd Book on the same footing as if it had taken a prize at the principal show. "A numerous meeting of Guernsey farmers, held immediately after these resolutions were passed, expressed their dissatisfaction with the arrangements thus made. It was felt that, while they low- ered, or destroyed, the value of honors gained at the island shows, they still subjected any Herd Book founded' on them to the mischief involved in the fact that selection would be founded on mere external appearance. 'While the importance of this element was fully ad- mitted, it was considered that, in the case of a breed' of which the special excellence lies in the quality as well as the quantity of the milk, exclusive regard to external points was not merely a fallacious test, but one likely to result in deterioration. It was further recog- nized that many of the most careful breeders in Guernsey had for this very reason never exhibited at the annual shows, and that a book which should' exclude their herds would be no fair representative of the best island stock. Instances were recalled in which, both by the judges for the herd book in question and by those of the agri- 98 The Guernsey Breed cultural society, grave errors have been made in approving good looking animals of inferior milking quality and of indifferent breed, while rejecting others which in all essential respects were superior. It was held that a check would be given to real progress if the judg- ment of breeders as to their own stock were to be superseded by that of strangers, and if admission to an ot^cial Herd liook was made to depend on conformity to the fancies of a few individuals. It was, therefore, resolved that any such method of selection of breeding stock would be delusive and injurious, and' that the best course was to establish a general Herd Book for the Island of Guernsey, based simply on the principles on which those of Great Britain and Amer- ica are founded', and, therefore, open to all stock which might be proved to possess the qualification of purity of race. From such a register it was believed that breeders would be able to select the strains which they deemed best suited to their purpose, and' pur- chasers would not be misled l)y any alleged superiority beyond what they had the means of verifying. Rules for the formation of such a Herd Book were approved' by the meeting, and a committee was ap- pointed to superintend its preparation. The first part is now sub- mitted to the pul)lic. "The committee will only ?dd that the experience, even of the first year, has shown that owners do not enter their stock indiscrim- inately, but that in nearly all instances they limit themselves to those which they consider to be their best. If the pedigrees given are short, it does not indicate that care has not been bestowed on breeding hitherto, but arises from the fact that it has not been customary to keep a written record. So also the notice of honors obtained by the progenitors is frequently omitted, for the double reason that, not being greatly esteemed, no note has been preserved of them, and that, as the stock exhibited at the island shows have not been even distin- guished by names till within the last two years, it would not be possible to ascertain with certainty whether l\onors have been awarded or not. But the committee feels confident that the Herd Book now inaugurated' will lead to the general preservation of more accurate records of breeding, and to the fuller recognition, both in the island and elsewhere of the value of strains of which judicious breeding has already in numerous instances laid the foundation. "The colors of the Guernsey breed include white, red and black, in any mixture and shade, except roan, no instance of which is known to have occurred. Brindle is not uncommon, the nose may be either white or black." The volumes of this "General Herd Book" show that the work was incompletely done, and without doubt more rapid advancement was made in the improvement of the breed when this book was discontinued and all the effort put into one book. The American Guernsey Cattle Club ceased to recog- nize the General Herd Book in 1902. Because of the fact that no card index or other alphabet- ical list of the animals registered in the Herd Book was kept, it was impossible to tell whether any name chosen by a breeder for a calf he was ofifering to register had previously been The Guernsey Breed 99 used or not, and so much duplication of names resulted. Only as recently as the year 1914 have the records on the island been put in such shape that duplication of names will not continue. Reference is made in the cjuotation from the Royal Guern- sey Agricultural Society Herd Book to the establishment of local shows, which have also contributed much to the devel- opment of the breed on the island. The plan was that such cows as had not won. prizes at the annual island shows, and wens, therefore, not eligible to entry in the Herd Book could be shown at a so-called local show, and, if approved by the committee, they were admitted as foundation stock. Such local shows are held as often as there is a demand for them, and when the secretary reports such a call the herd book com- mittee advertises two weeks in advance that on the day named and at a certain hour they will be at each of several points in the different parishes, usually near the parish church. The farmers then bring in their unregistered cows to be passed upon by the committee, which, if approved, are admitted as foundation stock, and their progeny are then eligible as pedi- gree stock, regardless of their individual merit. It is evident from the first volume of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society Herd Book that the first local show was held in July, 1881, and at that show 40 cows were admitted to the Herd Book. From that time until the local show of March 27, 1912, the animals admitted as foundation stock were classified as "Commended," "Highly Commended," and "Very Highly Commended," according to their quality, and these terms are now generally indicated in pedigrees or elsewhere by the abbreviations C, H. C, and V. H. C. Commencing with the local show held April 24, 1912, all cows are admitted and marked as "qualified at local show," and no designation is made as to difference in the quality. From the very first no females were admitted as foundation stock except cows in milk ; and a rule also exists that if the breeder fails to comply with By-law 4, which requires that a calf must be attested by a member of the Society within 24 hpurs of its birth, a heifer could then not be recorded until she became a cow, when she must be entered as foundation stock, although, if her sire and dam were known, they were published in the Herd Book the same as pedigree stock. Up to March, 1910, By-law 4 was not always complied with, and consider- able dissatisfaction resulted, but since that time it has been rigidly enforced. 100 The Guernsey Breed As early at least as 1883 an appendix to the General Herd Book was added for Alderney-bred cattle, and this was con- tinued to as late as 1893. A total of 40 cows were entered, but nearly all of these were cows that had been taken to Guernsey. The Herd Book of the Royal Guernsey Agricul- tural Society recognized the Alderney-bred cows at once and placed them in their registry on an equal footing with the others, No. 100 being an Alderney-bred cow. Large numbers of cows have been taken from Alderney to Guernsey every year since there began to be an export demand for cattle from Guernsey. It is impossible to say just how many of the cattle entered in the island Herd Book are Alderney-bred, because many of the foundation stock animals were entered without Raymond's Pearl King 2560, P. S., King's Cup, 1912; and dam, Princess May of the Hungiiets IV 7574, P. S. Imported by W. W. Marsh, of Iowa, and sold to C. S. Rasmussen, of California. the name of the breeder, and some of them, I happen to know, were Alderney-bred. While I find no written evidence, it is clear that Alderney-bred cattle were in the beginning admit- ted, whether inadvertently or not, to the registry of the Am- erican Guernsey Cattle Club. These cattle were first taken to Guernsey or to England and then brought to this country. Many years ago the breeders of Alderney started a herd book of their own, but no volume was ever published. Copy for the first volume was sent to the printers, but shortly after the printer died and the copy was lost. This work was taken up again in 1907, and in 1908 Volume I of the "Royal Alder- ney Agricultural Society Herd Book" was published. In 1909 The Guernsey Breed 101 agitation was started to unite the herd books of the two is- lands, which was done in 1910, and the books are now pub- lished as "Herd Book of the Bailiwick of Guernsey," "Guern- sey Branch" and "Alderney Branch." The same system of shows is followed on the Island of Alderney as on Guernsey, though I do not know just how long such shows have existed there. The cattle on the Island of Sark were as early as 1883 registered in the General Herd Book ; but, like the Alderney bred ones registered in the same book, it was only such ani- mals as were bred on Sark and taken to Guernsey. The Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society from the first recognized the A bull in his paddock on the Island of Guernsey. cattle of Sark as being the same as those of Guernsey. They were transferred back and forth. In recent years an annual show has been maintained on Sark. Whoever has been the tenant on the island of Herm has maintained a herd of Guernseys which are always recorded in the Herd Book of the Royal Agricultural Society of Guernsey. • That the best of feeling exists among the Guernsey breed- ers of this island group is proven by the fact that they attend the annual shows held on the other islands and often act as judges. There are now recorded in the Herd Book of the Am- erican Guernsey Cattle Club animals that have been bred on each of these islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and Herm. The bulls used on Sark are often of Guernsey breeding, but the breeders of Guernsey and of Alderney use native bulls only. One of the things that has without doubt contributed 102 The Guernsey Breed largely to the improvement of the breed in Guernsey is the fact that no hull is allowed to stand for public service on the island until he is 15 months old and has been taken to a local show with his mother and been approved by the Herd Book committee. The only exception to this rule is made when the bull's mother is dead but her quality known by the prizes she won at the public shows. As the islands are so small, no breeder on the Island of Guernsey would have to lead his animals more than three or four hiiles to exhibit them at the shows, and on the Islands Brilliant of the Cree 2i77. V. S. KiiiR's Cup. I'lll. of iVldcrney and Sark, not more than two miles. It is, there- fore, a very easy -matter for the farmers to exhibit their cattle at these sliows, and oftentimes sexeral hundred of the best will be shown. • At the Whitsuntide Show the animals are di\^ided into the following classes: Bulls — First class, 27 months and over; second class, 18 months and under 27 months; third class, from 15 to 18 months. Cows — First class, age six years and over ; second class, four years and under six ; third class, under four years. Heifers — First class, two years and over; second class, 16 months and under two years ; third class, under 16 months. The same classification is used for the August show. The Guernsey Breed 103 The shows open at 9 :30 a. m., and animals are admitted up to 10:30 a. m. Different judges are had for each class, and usually two on a class. No visitors are allowed in the ring while the judging is going on, and as soon as the judges have finished their work a flag is hoisted to the top of the mast, when all visitors can enter the ring for a fee of 6d. The shows continue until 5 :00 p. m., when members can take their cattle home. The judges reserve the right to have the cows milked, if desired. The by-laws governing the King's Cup Shows require, first, that all animals nuist be bred or dropped on the island : second, in the event of a bull under two years being prized, the same is bound to be kept on the island for service until he has attained the age of three years ; third, if a bull is prized at two years or above, the same is bound to be kept on the island for service for the space of twelve months after the award. In the event of these or other rules not being com- plied with, the cups are passed down to the reserve animals. It is needless to say that keen rivalry exists at these shows, and the King's Cups are especially sought after. Some of the older breeders have a room literall}- full of cups that have been won at these shows. CHAPTER IV. Introduction Into America It is a well attested fact that Channel Islands' cattle (Alderney) were imported into the United States more than 100 years ago, and, without doubt, some of these were Guern- seys. Their blood was not kept pure, and they became lost in the common herd. The first introduction of Guernseys into the United States, the records of which were kept so that later they and their descendants could be recorded in the American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Register, was an im- portation by a Mr. Prince, of Boston, Mass., in 1830 or 1831. These cattle were taken to his farm in Massachusetts, and a Lily Belle of Canterbury 11352. Picture taken at 20 years of age, with her 18th calf. little later a cow and a bull of this importation went to Cow Island, in Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H. These two animals, now registered as the Pillsbury bull 5816 and the Pillsbury cow 11310, were sold from this herd to General Moody A. Pillsbury, of West Boscawen, N. H. From these two founda- tion animals, some very good animals were developed in the hands of Joseph Barnard, of Hopkinton ; J. Arthur Jones and The Guernsey Breed 105 George E. Barnard, of West Hopkinton ; and the Canterbury- Shakers, of Canterbury, N. H. ; and from this foundation came Lily Belle of Canterbury 11352, a splendid old cow, she being the granddam of the well-known cow, Glencoe's Bopeep 18602. The cattle descending from this first importation were not recorded in the herd register of the American Guernsey Cattle Club until 1899, but for many years previous to that time the New Hampshire gentlemen aforementioned kept a sort of joint private herd book. When the matter of registry came up for investigation by the club, it was found that Mr. Barn- ard Sr. had a carefully kept diary giving all the details of the individual animals, which made it possible to register a major part of each of these herds. The next earliest importation, as far as known from the records kept that later enabled the progeny to be recorded, was of three cows, Jennie Deans, Fenella, and Flora Mclvor, Nos. 1, 2, 3, respectively, of the American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Registry. These cows were brought to New York on the schooner Pilot, September 26, 1840, by the late Nicholas Biddle, of Andalusia, Pa. Two of these cows dropped heifer calves, Fanny Ellsler 4, and Fairy 5, and one a bull calf, St. Patrick 1. Subsequently Judge Craig Biddle, a son of Nicholas Biddle, became equally attached to the cattle and visited the Island of Guernsey to see them in their native home. Prof. W. Gibson, an eminent surgeon connected with the University of Pennsylvania, who owned a country seat near Philadelphia, purchased a black and white Guernsey heifer in 1858. He was a great admirer of fine cattle and sub- sequently went to the Channel Islands and remained there for several months, visiting both Guernsey and Jersey Islands to learn all he could of both breeds. He became an enthusi- astic admirer of the Guernseys and wrote glowing descriptions of their superiority over the Jerseys. He brought back several choice animals for himself and several for his friend, Judge Biddle. The Biddies maintained the purity of their cattle for many years and kept careful records. As far as known, the history of the next importation is as follows: In the American Agriculturist of April, 1868, there appeared what is believed to be the first picture of a Guernsey cow published in America. This was of Cottie 188; and her owner, James P. Swain, of Bronxville, N. Y., writes as fol- lows in the article accompanying the cut : "You ask me for facts in regard to the Guernsey cow Cottie. I will tell you the story of the Channel cattle as far as they 106 The Guernsey Breed have come under my own observation. In the summer of 1845, I employed Mr. LeRoy, an intelligent Guernsey man, to build a factory for me, and he interested me in the cattle of his own and the other islands so much that I imported one from the little Island of Alder- ney, two from Guernsey, one from Sark and two from Jersey. I found but one of them to be a superior cow in every respect. She came from Guernsey, gave 32 pounds of milk a day when in full milk, averaging 24 pounds a day for eight months; was never dry during the six years I owned her. She was accidentally killed. Cottie, the property of George P. Nelson, Esq., of Scardale, is her first calf. She is now 14 years old and has been in milk over 12 years, except Cottie 188. two or three months. She averaged during the summer 24 pounds of milk daily for eight months, and about 8 pounds for the balance of the year. Of the quality of her milk I cannot give you facts, but can in regard to her sister. She was so much like her that we never could tell which was the better for quantity or quality. This sister, Katie, now owned by James Hall, Esq., of East Chester, gave at her height 45 pounds of milk per day, and made 14 pounds 5 ounces of butter per week, and averaged 24J/2 pounds of milk for eight months, and a little less than 8 pounds for the balance of the year. In all the descendants of Gottie and Katie, and they are very many, I do not think there is a variation of 1 per cent in the quantity or quality of milk they give, with same care. This family are all that have been of special value out of seven imported cows." The other Guernsey cow referred to was doubtless Curl Horn 183. The mother of Cottie referred to in this article was Guernsey 184, and she is recorded as "imported about 1851 by J. P. Swain in the ship William Tell." The Guernsey Breed 107 At about the same time Mr. Swain purchased the bull. Rosewell Colt 29, bred by Mr. Biddle, and in the fall of 1858 he made another importation, in the ship Guy Mannerin^. He imported a cow which, as far as I can find, was never registered, but she was carrying- the calf Guy 33. In June, 1855, W. H. Stewart, of Torresdale, Pa., imported the cow named Stewart's Cow 11. Edward M. Hopkins, of the same place, imported the cow Flora 17 the same year. In 1855 Charles Henry Fisher, of Philadelphia, imported the three cows. Little Red Riding Hood 26," Sophia 27, and Fanny Physic 28. Mr. Fisher already owned a bull, Hercules 9, born 1850 and imported by R. L. Colt, of Paterson, N. J., and the blood of these animals is still mingled in the high- class herd owned by James Logan Fisher, of Fernrock, one of the suburbs of Philadelphia. The Fowlers, of Philadelphia and Southampton, had brought over large numbers of Jerseys for public sale, and at about 1865 they began to bring a few Guernseys also, though I do not find any animal recorded of their importa- tion earlier than the cow Signet 99, imported to Boston in September, 1870. This cow was sold to James M. Codman, and he tells me that it was she that first gave him his interest in the breed. He also says that it was the first Guernsey cow sold at auction in the United States of which there is any record. Liking this cow and being impressed with the very yellow milk and butter that she gave, he decided the next year to make a trip to the island, arriving on the very morning that the cattle from Guernsey were being shipped over to Jersey for the Channel Islands exhibition mentioned in Chapter II. Seeing this, he stayed on the boat and went to Jersey and attended this exhibition. He spent several weeks on Guernsey, studying the history and characteristics of the breed, and purchased the cows Amber 50 and Crystal 51 for himself, and also imported the bull lasper 25 and the cows Pearl 20, Topaz 21, Jewel 22, and Ruby 23 for Wm. P. Per- kins, of Wayland, Mass. Shortly after this time the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture became interested in the introduction of Guernseys into Massachusetts for the improvement of the dairy stock, and as early as September 28, 1874, an importa- tion was made and the cattle scattered to many different farms in the state, including those of James Lawrence, Groton ; E. F. Bowditch, Framingham ; and W. C. Cabot, Brookline. All three of these herds are still maintained. 108 The Guernsey Breed At the same time a group of farmers around Hartford, Conn., and especially those who were patrons of the creamery at Farmington, having heard of the Guernseys, and not being able to buy them in this country, unitedly sent to the island C. M. Beach, of Hartford, and M. C. Weld, of New York. They made a number of importations of cattle to Connecticut, and from them many herds were founded, including that of the late Edward Norton, who became the first secretary of the club. Other single animals imported earlier than 1871 were Lady Thierman 135, imported in 1869; Brown Forest 69, Belle Forest 67, Lady Forest 45, Lily Forest 41, and Lady Hudson 391, imported May 2, 1870. In 1872 Silas Betts, of Camden, N. J., purchased the cows Queen 74, Beauty of Bloomfield 75, and Peeress 76 from an importation of E. P. P. Fowler, the last two named dropping the calves Billy 3 and Romeo 40. The cow Beauty of Bloom- field numbers among her descendants many high-class ani- mals, including the cow Cinderella 3251, that won first prize at the Wisconsin State Fair of 1887. At this time the Fowlers were gradually increasing the number of Guernseys in their importations, and in the spring of 1872 Thomas M. Harvey and Son, West Grove, Pa., pur- chased of them the cows Nos. 81 to 86, and these, with the cows Nos. 24 and 25, purchased by Messrs. Harvey of Judge Biddle, were the first cattle, as the records show, that went into Chester county, Pennsylvania, which county later was for years the headquarters for the breed. In May, 1878, importations were made to Boston by James Lawrence, who, it will be remembered, had some of the first cattle of the importations by the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, and by this time cattle from the Fowler importations had been scattered to all the seaboard states. In 1878 Wm. L. Fox, of Foxburg, Pa., imported five cows. Frolic 49, Florence 50, Fancy 51, Fan 52, and Fay 53. In June of the same year J. J. C. Abbot, of Montreal, Canada, imported the cows Rosey of Les Vauxbelets 379 and Rosebud of Les Vauxbelets 2d 380, they appearing to be the first Guernsey^ to go to Canada. As early as November 24, 1872, a cow, Monica 371, was imported direct to San Francisco, Cal., by J. N. Knowles and sold to Henry Pierce, of the Yerba Buena ranch. In October, 1879, Mr. Pierce made an importation of bull No. 183 and the The Guernsey Breed 109 nine cows Nos. 417 to 426. The descendants of this importa- tion have apparently been lost sight of. In 1871 the Coleman heirs, Cornwall, Pa., purchased the cows Nos. 397, 398, 620, 621, of the Fowlers, these cattle later passing to E. C. Freeman, who until his death in 1912 main- tained a high-class herd. The well known cow, Purity 2315, that won second prize at the Columbian Exposition in 1893, came from this herd. In 1878 L. W. Ledyard, of Cazenovia, N. Y., purchased two heifers, Fernwood Fancy Z7 and Kathleen 38, of Mr. Beach' of Hartford, who had recently imported them. Mr. Fernleaf 636 — 18.81 lbs. butter in seven days. Ledyard began at once to test his cows, and Kathleen made for him 22 pounds 4 ounces of butter in seven days and slit,- was the dam of Fernleaf 636, 18 pounds 13 ounces butter; and Fernwood Fancy made 14 pounds and 7 ounces. Mr. Ledyard became very favorably impressed with the cattle, and in September, 1880, he made an importation of 14 females and brought them to his farm, which he named "Fernwood." Included in this importation was the cow Lady May that made for him 19 pounds of butter in seven days. Mr. Ledyard be- came at once one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the breed, and in September of 1883 he brought over 25 females, 110 The Guernsey Breed Nos. 1464 to 1485 and 1565 to 1568, that were notable, indeed, and bulls Nos. 644 and 645. Among- these cows were Countess of Fernwood 1464, that made for Mr. Ledyard 14 pounds 12 ounces butter in seven days and that was the dam of the ad- vanced register bull Viscount 2177, she being out of the cow Fleurie du Terte 1136, G. H. B., that had a record of 14 pounds 10 ounces butter, Guernsey weight, on the island ; also Gazelle of Fernwood 1467, the mother of Glenwood Girl 1693; Fern- Fernwood Lily 1468 — 22.72 lbs. butter in seven days. wood Lily 1468, the dam of two advanced register bulls, Lily's Bonny Boy 2676 and Fernwood Lily's Son 3931 ; Guernsey Gift 1483, a very high-class daughter of Presto 14, P. S., that milked over 40 pounds of milk with her first calf; and Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood 1485, the dam of the celebrated bull. Bonny Boy 1097. With these cattle Mr. Ledyard also brought the cows Nos. 1506 to 1522 for Mr. Schenck, the most cele- brated of which was Vestall of Larchmont 1507, that made 18 pounds 12^ ounces butter in seven days. In February, 1881, S. C. Kent, of West Grove, Pa., landed his first importation of cattle at Philadelphia, and in the next four or five years, in connection with James James, of Les Vauxbelets. Guernsey, and Mark Hughes, also of West Grove, imported over 1,000 head of Guernsey cattle and scattered them far and wide through auction sales. One of the most notable of his sales was the one held in May, 1884, at which 76 animals sold above the $200 mark, and Lady Emily Foley 2d 1700 sold for $1,900 to Henry Palmer, a neighbor of Messrs. The Guernsey Breed 111 Fernwood 1485. Kent and Huij;"hes, who also paid $480 for the cow Lily des Islets 1816 and $550 for the cow The Nun 1812. Many others sold above the $400 mark. From the books it would appear that during- those three or four years Mr. Kent registered nearly one-half of the cattle recorded in the American Register during that time. In view of the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the United States, the fact will be of interest that one of the importations made by Messrs. Kent and Hughes had this disease. The story of this outbreak is here given in Mr. Hughes' own words : "In the month of March, 1883, S. C. Kent, of West Grove, and myself, as partners, made an importation of 80 head of Guernsey cattle direct from the island. These cattle were landed March 18, 1883, from the steamship Nessmore, at Baltimore. My memory is that they had been about 17 days on the ship. Quarantine enforce- ment, then imposed by the Treasury Department, requiring us to keep them 90 days in quarantine, was turned over to this state. At the time of this importation, and several others also, permission had been granted us before the arrival of the cattle to quarantine them in barns that we procured in West Grove, Pa. I had actual care of the cattle of these several importations. "As soon as this particular importation of cattle landed my man told me that some of the cattle were sick, and from what he told me of the symptoms I at once suspected foot and mouth disease, after having heard what I had of the recent attacks in England. I 112 The Guernsey Breed at once telegraphed Dr. Francis Bridge, of Philadelphia, (then the state veterinarian of Pennsylvania) and asked him to come at once to West Grove. They had been inspected by a government veterin- arian on the boat and when I arrived he said to me: 'Mr. Hughes, you have one pretty sick cow on board (which was Imported Cora de Sausmarez 1733, A. G. C. C.) that unless you take good care of you will lose.' The cattle were just in the early stages of the disease, having fever, not wishing to eat, and wanting to lie down, but the old cow referred to had begun to show later symptoms of the disease. We got the cattle on the cars and arrived at West Imp. Lady Emily Foley Jii 17UU. Grove with them at 2:00 o'clock the next morning and took them out of the cars at once to two barns. Dr. Bridge did not reach West Grove until about 9 a. m. that day. When I met him at the train I told him that I believed the cattle had foot and mouth disease, and he at once went to the station agent and had the cars in which the cattle came held up until disinfected by his direction. He diag- nosed it foot and mouth disease, as I expected he would. "Two men came over from Guernsey with these cattle, and these two men went to one barn and two of my men who lived in West Grove went to the other barn. None of these men left the barns during the 90-day quarantine period. I myself visited both barns every day and saw that Dr. Bridge's advice regarding the treatment of the disease was carried out. Included in his treatment was the standing of every animal twice each day in a trough of disinfectant and scrubbing her feet. Mr. Palmer's barn was on a farm that Mr. Palmer has just purchased, and the former owner had a sale of farm The Guernsey Breed 113 tools, two horses, and a goat advertised to take place on this farm soon after the arrival of the cattle. Dr. Bridge objected to the con- ducting of the sale there, but, finally, when I told him that we would see that no person went in or near the barn in which the cattle were, and I had promised to buy the two horses and the goat (the only live stock on the farm) he gave us permission to hold the sale and no evil results followed. "The stables and cattle were thoroughly disinfected every day, but no precautions were taken to disinfect the hay or straw in the mows above, although the men had every day gone up to these mows to throw down hay. Immediately at the close of the 90-day period these cattle were all taken to my home farm and placed with other cattle then on the place. About three months later one-half or more were sold and others farmed out among farmers in this locality. There was no further spread of the disease. Every animal had the disease, and not one died, not one aborted, and every calf born during the period was saved. Also, no udder trouble resulted, and this not- withstanding the fact that considerable hoof trouble resulted and sev- eral of these animals lost the shell of their hoofs during the sum- mer, the last ones probably as late as September or October while they were running with animals that had not previously had the disease. Some of the cattle also lost their horns, though I do not now remember how many. No United States inspector visited the place during the epizootic. "Before we got all of the cattle off the ship they had com- menced to load beef cattle and sheep into the ship, without its dis- i^ '"'^y.'/jii'// '}..

Jolie 2d 2206 — said to have given 65 lbs. milk in Fuller, July, 1883. day. Imported by J. W. infection, for Southampton. Many of these animals were down with foot and mouth disease when they reached England." The statement has often been made that animals that have had foot and mouth disease were ruined for breeding- purposes. The records have been searched for the number of the progeny of this importation and of another importation of 80 head made the same year by Messrs. Kent and Hughes that did not have foot and mouth disease. The books show that 202 calves have been recorded from the importation that did not have the disease and 217 from the importation that did have it. It may be of further interest to state that Yeksa Sunbeam 15439 (857.15 pounds of fat); May Rilma 22761 (1073.41 pounds of fat) ; Murne Cowan 19597 (1098.18 pounds of fat) ; Dolly Bloom 12770 (836.21 pounds of fat) ; Dolly Dimple 19144 (906.89 pounds of fat) ; Azucena's Pride 2d 24957 (855.7 pounds of fat), and many others of the greatest cows of the breed are descendants from cows of the importa- tion that had the disease. At least six animals that have been grand champions at the National Dairy Show were also de- scendants of that importation. Lady Emily Foley 2d, men- The Guernsey Breed 115 tioned previously, and Tricksey 1760 were in this importation. In 1883 A. J. Cassatt, who later became president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, imported 12 cows. A clipping from the Guernsey paper, La Baillage, states that the prices he paid for them were from £50 to £210 each. Included in the lot was Vesta 2d of St. Peter Port 1443 (Vesta 2d 424, F. S.) that had made a record of 16 pounds of butter, Guernsey weight, in seven days on the island. In July, 1883, J. W. Fuller, of Catasauqua, Pa., made a small importation of five head, and in September, 1884, he im- ported 64 females and five bulls, which was one of the most notable importations ever made. Included in this lot were Select 2205, that founded the family of that name and that made 22 pounds 8 ounces butter in seven days ; Jolie 2d 2206, that is said to have milked 65 pounds of milk in a day ; and France 2207, that founded the France family. Several of the Select and Jolie 2d families came with this lot. There were also included in this importation the Windfalls, dam and daughters ; Lady Whitesea 2214 ; Daisy of the Rue a I'Or 2226; Imp. France 2207 — from which the France family sprung. Imported by J. W. Fuller, July, 1883. 116 The Guernsey Breed Garnet of Lehigh 2208 and her daughter Garnet of the Pel- leys 2249, and many other good ones, space forbidding in- dividual mention. In August, 1882, S. L. Hoxie, of S. Edmeston, N. Y., who was later the first superintendent of the advanced reg- istry for the Holstein breed, imported 27 females and two bulls. Included in this lot were Gully V 1590 (24 pounds 2 ounces butter in seven days). Duchess of Brittany 1613 (21 pounds 4 ounces), Stella 4th 1598 (18 pounds 4 ounces), ■i^^^?' Imp. Windfall— imported by J. W. Fuller, July, 1883. Musette Ford 1600 (16 pounds 4 ounces), Dolly Ford 2d 1595 (15 pounds 12 ounces), Primrose Ford 1589 (15 pounds 8 ounces), Primrose Ford 4th 3302 (14 pounds 3>< ounces), and many other excellent cows whose blood was scattered over New York and Pennsylvania. From 1884 to 1887 practically no cattle were imported, but in November, 1887, Levi P. Morton imported 60 cows and one bull. In this lot were some notable cows, including Bretonne 3660, that later made 602.9 pounds of butter-fat; Buda 7178, 602.7 pounds fat; Beinfaitrice 4th 3657, the dam of The Guernsey Breed 117 Sheet Anchor 2934 ; Rosette 5th 3698, one of the leading cows in the Guernsey herd at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 ; Esmeralda 8657, and many others of almost equal note. Mr. Morton later made several other importations of high-class cows, but was so unfortunate as to lose 100 head of his best cows at one time by fire. E. N. Howell, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., imported 10 cows in September, 1886, and six more in April, 1888, among them Imp. Buda 7178 — 602.7 pounds butter-fat in one year. being My Pet 3094, 14 pounds 8 ounces butter in seven days, a daughter of Climax 48, P. S. In December, 1888, Hope- well Brothers, Natick, Mass., imported 14 cows. J. Pierpont Morgan imported 10 head in July, 1889, and in February, 1890, S. C. Kent made his last importation, which consisted of 60 females and one bull, 45 of which were sold at auction March 17, 1890. In 1891 Francis Shaw, Wayland, Mass., who at that time probably had the best herd in the country, having purchased 118 The Guernsey Breed at different times such cows as Select 2205 and Select 2d 2229, France 2207, France 3d 2573, Kathleen 38, Dawn 711, Picotte 2d 2218, and Jessie of Lester Manor 740, sent J. L. Hope to Guernsey, who took with him the first Babcock tester ever Imp. Esmeralda 8657 — 8,978 pounds milk and 424 pounds butter in one year. used on the island. Mr. Shaw's idea was to import such cows as might be useful to the breed as representatives in the World's Fair test in 1893. Several of this importation were good enough to qualify for this test. Included in the lot was Pretty Dairymaid 2d of Guernsey 6366, that won first prize on the island in 1889, 1890 and 1892. In April, 1891. Edward Burnett, then proprietor of Deer- foot Farms. Southboro, Mass., made the first importation for H. McK. Twombly, consisting of 13 females. In this lot were Daisy Pearl 5990, Honoria 4th 5989, and Virginia of Madison 6000, whose blood later added character to the breed. In 1894 Mr. Twombly imported 15 females, and included in this lot were Deanie 3d 7643. and Belvidera 7644, that later made an advanced registry record of 420.63 pounds of fat, and other good ones. In this same year Mr. Morton made a second importation of 17 head, which included among other good ones May Rose 4th 7682 and May Rose 5th 7681. The Guernsey Breed 119 In 1895 Allen S. Apgar, of New York, imported the bull, Squire of Lilyvale, that had twice won first prize on the island, and seven high-class females, two of the best of which were Success of Lilyvale 8284, which was bred on Sark, and Pride of Lilyvale 8285, of Alderney breeding, both of foundation stock. In April, 1895, Mr. JMorton made another importation of 27 females, including many animals whose blood is now scattered throughout the country. In 1896 James Forsyth, of Oswego, N. Y., imported a few animals, and in the same year Benjamin Heartz imported 10 good females into Prince Edward Island. In 1898 Mr. Twombly imported 43 more females for his Florham herd. From that time until 1901 there were no important im- portations, and very few animals were brought over that Imp. Pretty Dairymaid 2d of Guernsey 6366 — First prize on Guernsey 1889, 1890, 1892. have left any appreciable impress on the breed. An importa- tion of six head by E. Rigg Brow, of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, was probably of most note. The Experi- mental Farms at Ottawa, Canada, imported a few head of 120 The Guernsey Breed hig-h-class animals in 1901. In the same year H. McK. Twom- bly imported 16 head of females, which was without doubt the highest-class lot that ever was imported, justice to this importation would not be g'iven unless all were named. They included Love Knot 14441, known on the island as Justinee II; Charmante of the Gron 14442 (676.46 pounds fat); Pre- toria 14443 (595.35 pounds fat) ; her daughter Pretoria 2d 14444, tliat later sold for $1,500; Lady lUitterrteld 14445 (374.36 Imp. Love Knot 14441 English K pounds fat) ; Cambrian Princess 14446 (457.07 pounds fat at three and one-half years of age) ; Pride of Home 14447 (534.26 pounds fat), first prize cow at the St. Louis Exposition. 1904; Claremont Hyacinth 2d 14448; Lady of Fashion 1444') (336.51 pounds fat), daughter of Charmante of the Gron; Love Knot 2d 14450 (644.3 pounds fat) ; Maid of Kent 14451 ; Sign of Quality 14452; Ma Charmante 3d 14453; La Belle France 14454, known on the island as France HI, and one of the best known cows of the breed ; her daughter Bonne et Belle 14455 (423.85 pounds fat at three years of age) ; and Couleur de Rose 14456 (474.44 pounds fat). Not only did this importation represent a large amount of money, it having been reported that $4,000 was the price paid for France III, The Guernsey Breed 121 but it also represented a large amount of time and personal interest and investigation on the part of Mr. Hope, who selected them. To this lot was added, in September, 1902, six head more of very choice animals, including Itchen Beda 15627 (548.72 ])Ounds fat) and Itchen Daisy 3d 15630 (714.15 pounds fat at four years of age). Imp. Love Knot 14441. Ill itite of the Gron 14442. Imp. Pretoria 14443. Imp. Pride of Home In March, 1902, lulvvard Trotter Price, of Broad Axe, Pa., made his first importation of 20 head, nearly all of them from England. V. Everitt Macy, of Ossining, N. Y., made a notable importation of 13 females in December, 1902. In- cluded in this lot were Masher's Justinee 16002 (510.58 pounds fat), Cora's Queen's Prize IV 16004 (410.81 pounds fat), Beatrice of the Isles 16005 (518.52 pounds fat), and An- toinette's Queen's Prize VII 16010 (415.98 pounds fat). In September, 1902, E. L. Ames made what probably was, next to Mr. Twombly's, the most notable importation of any yet made. It included Hayes Richesse 2d 15474 (642.43 pounds fat), Hayes Rosie 15476 (714.31 pounds fat), Playes i^'elois 2d 15478 (384.15 pounds fat). Lady Ovid of Easton 15480 (551.06 pounds fat). Princess Rhea 15479 (775.69 pounds fat), and Melanie of Goodnestone 3d 15485 (387.76 pounds fat). The blood of several of these cows is an important in- fluence in the advancement of the breed. In July, 1903, Mr. Price made a second importation of 17 cows, and animals from these two lots with some few Amer- 122 The Guernsey Breed ican-bred, he showed with great success at the fairs in the fall of 1904, including the St. Louis World's Fair. In October of that year he sold them all at auction and immediately im- ported others that he distributed in very successful sales in the two following years. Among the latter lot were many cows of great excellence. In September, 1903, George Robbins, of Hinsdale, 111., imported one bull, and 10 heifers in calf, from the island, which I believe were the first imported by anyone west of the Al- Imp. Pretoria 14443 — 595.35 pounds butterfat in one year. leghany mountains, after the much earlier importation into California of Henry Pierce already mentioned. Mr. Twombly made still another importation in April, 1905, of 43 head, and a large part of these have since qualified for the Advanced Registry. Space will not permit of men- tion of all the records made by them, but the most notable was that of Rosy of the Palotterie IV 18897, that produced 718.15 pounds of fat and was the dam of the bull Rocking- ham 18120, which sold for $2,000 at Mr. Phillip's sale in 1913. Mr. Robbins made a second importation of 17 head in August, The Guernsey Breed 123 1905, a third of 25 head in March, 1906, and a fourth of 30 head in June, 1906. In July, 1906, Westmoreland Davis, of Leesburg-, Va., im- ported 13 choice animals, and the same year E. W. Oglebay, of Wheeling, W. Va., imported 10 head, mostly English-bred, and a second lot of 50 in July, 1906. E. C. Converse, Greenwich, Conn., being pleased with the first animals that he purchased at one of Mr. Price's sales, imported six cows in March. 1906. On October 2, 1905, A. A. Charmante of the Gron 14442— A R 74 \ >. u 1 676.46 pounds tat. 1 1 874 08 pounds milk, Elousman, Babylon. L. I., imported 27 females, 16 more in August, 1906, and 19 head in a third lot in November of the same year. Mention has been made of the first outbreak of tuber- culosis on the island. In one of Mr. Price's later importa- tions two cows had reacted, both coming from the infected herd on the island. Without doubt, the disease was also im- ported in the Housman importation, as many of them reacted almost as soon as they reached this country, and a large part of the importation was lost to the breed. Included in this importation was the bull St. Amant 11600, A. R. 124 The Guernsey Breed Imp. Conleur de Rose 14456, A. R. 70 — 474.44 pounds fat in one 3car. In August, 1906, Alfred G. Lewis, of Geneva, N. Y., mad;^ his first importation, 71 head. During the next few years Mr. Lewis imported hundreds of the best cattle that the island pro- duced, selling them at public auction and private sales and scattering them into nearly every state from Maine to Cali- fornia. In May, 1907, I made my first visit to the island, bringing back Z7 head for different parties, mostly for Arthur Meeker, who himself afterward imported 22 heifers. Also in May, 1907, H. W. Wigman imported 26 head, the bulk of which went to F. G. Benham, of Canandaigua, N. Y., and since that time Mr. Benham has made many importations himself of the sort that have greatly helped to improve the breed. In 1910, in connection with Arthur Meeker, I made an- other importation, and included in this lot were 60 head from Alderney, the first to come direct from that island. For some time previous to this date, F. S. Peer had been The Guernsey Breed 125 bringing over a few high-class Guernseys with his importa- tions of Jerseys, and finding a growing demand for them he greatly increased the number of Guernseys and decreased the Jerseys until now his importation of Jerseys has nearly ceased while he is importing large numbers of the best Guernseys. In October, 1908, George W. Ott brought over a lot of 50 head, and has made several other large importations since. James H. Beirne, of Oakfield, Wis., bought three out of my first importation and liked them so well that he went over himself the same year and again the next. In 1909 I made an importation of 108 head for O. C. Bar- ber, Akron, Ohio, and a second one of 100 head for him in 1913. Since 1908 the number of importations have so increased, as well as the number of cattle imported, and the facts are so well known to all that it is impossible and unnecessary to continue the detailed account of them. Among the names of those who have made one or more importations of note are : J. S. Govin, Menomonie, Wis.; Fred G. Phillips, Villa Nova, Pa.; Geo. C. Cooper, Superior, Wis.; M. A.

Mention has been made of the females only in these im- portations. Because a bull has so wide an influence, due to his greater ability to beget descendants, it seems wise to men- tion individually some of the best island bulls that have been brought to this country. Probably the first one that attracted marked atten'tion was the bull Sir Champion 38, imported by Thomas Harvey & Son in 187L He had 15 sons named after him, Sir Champion 2d to Sir Champion 16th, and dozens of other sons, nearly all of which were used in pure-bred herds. It has been said that more animals are traced to Sir Champion than to any other single animal of the breed. His son. Jeweller The Guernsey Breed 127 117, was the best known bull of the breed from 1882 to 1887. This was about the time that talk about the selection of dairy cattle by the Guenon method was at its height. The system was based on the character of the escutcheon. The next bull imported that has made a marked impress on the breed was Presto of Preel 571, known on the island as Presto 14, P. S., and that 'bull won first prize on Guernsey in 1881. He is known only because of the descendants of his sons and daughters left on the island, and little is known of Imp. Island Champion 6263, known as Masher 2d 858, P. S., on the Island of Guernsey. Winner of first prize there in 1894, 1895, 1896, 1898 and 1899, and Queen's cup in 1895. his progeny sired in this country. His name appears in the pedigrees of a majority of the cattle imported from the island in recent years. Forget-me-not 587, imported by Edward Burnett and sold to Francis Shaw, appears in the names of many animals of Mr. Shaw's breeding. L. W. Ledyard in his importations brought over Lord Fernwood 644 and Fernwood Royal 645, the last named being a son of Presto 14, P. S., above mentioned and out of the cow Countess of Fernwood 1464, that was one of the best of Mr. Ledyard's importations. He was the sire of Bonny Boy 1097, and it was through this son that his blood was most dis- seminatecj. 128 The Guernsey Breed In the Fuller importation came Herald 990 and his son Herald 2d 994, and the blood of these bulls appears in many of the pedigrees of today. With the first importation of Mr. Morton's came the bull Safeguard 1790. Later he imported Lord Stranford 2187, that became the greatest prize winning Ijull of the breed. He won first prize as a yearling on the island and won more than 125 prizes at nearly all the great fairs east and west in this country, but he never proved to be even an ordinary sire, and his blood now appears principally in pedigrees through his son Sheet Anchor and his daughter Robinson's Princess. While he attracted great attention as a show bull, there is no doubt that in his case the breed would be better if he had never been born. The next imported bull to attract particular attention was Golden Knight 3405, imported by E. S. Clark, Cooperstown, N. Y. He has through his sons Penwyn 4590 and Fenimore Prince 4559 contributed to the good of the breed. Three bulls came over in the latter Morton importations, and the bull Annatto 3887, that won the Queen's prize in 1894, proved a very good sire and his blood has been dispersed to many of the herds of the country. In 1899 Howard Tuttle imported the bull Royal of La Lande 6223, and his list of advanced register daughters proves that he must have been i*. high-class sire. "in 1899 Mr. Hope imported for Mr. Twombly the bull, Island Champion 6263, known on the island as Masher 2d 858, P. S., and he had been four times first over the island, second once, and third twice, besides winning the Queen's prize for the best bull in 1895. He was without doubt one of the best bulls of the breed, having eight advanced register daughters and six advanced register sons. This bull was of a pronounced dairy type, beautiful in color, head, and carriage. I well remember the great impression he made upon me the first time that I saw him. His son, France's Masher 2d 7248, was first prize in 1900 and was imported in 1901 by Louis Cabot, of Dublin, N. H., and later sold to S. M. Shoemaker, of Eccleston, Md. He had 28 registered daughters in this country, 13 of them having records up to 739.4 pounds of fat, and three advanced register sons. Cock of the Walk 8116, a foundation stock bull that very few American, breeders fancied, nevertheless proved to be a good sire. Among the many good animals that he sired is Spotswood Daisy Pearl 7696, that made a record of 957.38 pounds of fat, being the largest record made by any cow up to that time. The Guernsey Breed 129 In September, 1902, Mr. Twombly imported the bull May Rose King 8336, a dark-colored, smoky-nosed bull and a son of May Rose 2d 3648, E. G. H. B., at a reported cost of $4,500. The records show that he was not accorded such opportunities in the Florham herd as was Sheet Anchor, but he proved to be much superior as a sire. He had in all 29 registered daughters, and of this number 21 have qualified for the ad- vanced registry, with average records up to 852.56 pounds but- 8571, brought to America li\ \'. Ivvniu _\1, ter-fat. It is to be regretted that this bull was not given a greater opportunity, for without doubt he would have made an even more wonderful record for himself. In 1902 V. Everitt Macy imported the bull Financier 8571, a bull carrying the blood of the Masher family on his sire's side and of the May Roses on his dam's side, that has eight advanced register daughters with records up to 610.15 pounds of fat; and Masher's Galore 8572, the bull that, as his name indicates, was inbred to the Masher family, and that had 14 advanced registry daughters with records up to 594.53 pounds of fat and four advanced register sons, one of which. King Masher 11084, is doing wonderful work in Dr. James E. Rus- sell's herd. 130 The Guernsey Breed In 1905 Mr. Twoml)ly imported the ])ull Golden Nolile 10580, that has four advanced register sons and 18 registered daughters, four of which have advanced register records up to 692.87 pounds of fat. He is perhaps even better known because of his son, Golden Noble 2d 1836, P. S., the record of whose daughters stamp him as the most prepotent sire ever used on the island. It is a great shame that he was killed when he was young and before his worth as a sire was proved. Every daughter of his seems to be a good one, and at this Vk^riting 24 of them have advanced register records up to 835.47 pounds of fat. He has also four advanced register sons. On the island six of his daughters have made records up to 698.54 pounds of fat. Mr. Price in his importations brought over a good many bulls, and among them was Governor I of the Chene 10563, that was sold at auction to John C. Higgins, Delaware City,, Del. When I went with Mr. Barber a few years ago to pur- chase Mr. Higgins' herd we were very much impressed with the young daughters of this bull, and the work that they are now doing stamps him as one of the most prepotent of Guern- sey sires. Among his advanced register daughters are Julie of the Chene 30460. with a record of 953.53 pounds of fat ; Jehanna Chene 30889, that holds the junior three-year-old The Guernsey Breed 131 record of 863.36 pounds of fat ; Governor's Pauline 30472, with 844.47 pounds of fat; Princess of the Chene 30461, with 739.33 pounds of fat; and six others, each with a record of over 600 pounds of fat. He has a total of 21 advanced register daugh- ters, out of 51 registered daughters. Another most notable bull of the Price importations was Golden Secret of Lilyvale 10028 which, like Golden Noble, was sired by Golden Secret 12599. This bull has proved a remarkable sire in the herd of T. W. & I. W. Roberts, Bala, Pa. Among his 13 advanced register daughters was Nellie Jay 4th 38233, with a record as a junior two-year-old of 736.32 pounds of fat. In September, 1906, J. L. Hope imported the bull Masher's Sequel 11462 and sold him at once to R. & H. Scoville, Chapin- ville. Conn. This bull now leads all bulls of the breed in the number of advanced register daughters, having 66 that have qualified up to 1916, with more under test. He has also 19 advanced register sons up to date. This bull was rather under size, plain at the shoulders, and not good enough to be called a show animal, but the high quality of his daughters attest Lord Mar 14359. Imported by W. W. Marsh in 1909. First prize in the aged bull class on the Island in 1908. He has 27 Advanced Registry daughters with records up to 674.91 pounds of fat. 132 The Guernsey Breed his prepotency as a sire. His blood breeds on, as is proved by the work of many of his sons and daughters. Raymond of the Preel 11353, a son of Alasher's Sequel, that has three times been second prize bull on the island, and that had for a dam Justinee I 4054, P. S., a cow that had won first on the island, was imported by Alfred G. Lewis. This bull had splendid opportunities, and for a time his blood was largely sought after, but the majority of his daughters have proved to be only ordinary producers. Few breeders are now using this line of blood. Imp. The Conqueror 2d 15325, with 16 Advanced Registry daughters with yearly records up to 928.39 pounds of fat. Another son of Golden Secret, St. Amant 11600, imported by A. A. Housman, proved to be an excellent sire, having four advanced register daughters, with records up to 657.2') pounds of fat. He has but 10 daughters registered in all. Among the good bulls that Mr. Benham imported was Holden 4th 12179, which sired Miranda of Edgewater 30870, with 730.4 pounds of fat at three years of age; and Cherry of Edgewater 38143, the leader in Class G, with a record of 7Z297 pounds of fat; and other good ones. In his first importation, Mr. Bierne brought over Golden Hero of I'Etiennerie 12647, and he has eight advanced register The Guernsey Breed 133 daughters, with records up to 684.05 pounds of fat, and six advanced register sons. Mr. Lewis in 1907 imported Billy's France 12476, a full- brother of Raymond of the Preel above mentioned. He was so much talked of that 10 of his daughters sold for an average price of $1,000 each, but few of them are proving little more than ordinary cows. In February, 1909, W. W. Marsh imported the bull Lord Mar 14359, that won first prize in the aged bull class on the J/,V't>/'.. Imp. Golden Secret 12599. island in 1908. He now has 27 advanced register daughters, with records up to 674.91 pounds of fat. Among the number are Jessy Rose X 28373, that was grand champion at the National Dairy Show in 1913 and that recently finished a record of 646.03 pounds of fat as a three-year-old. In Mr. Barber's first importation I brought over the bull The Conqueror 2d 15325, and he now has 16 advanced register daughters, the best one being Daisy Moon 3d 28471, with a record of 928.39 pounds of fat. Another good daughter was Imp. Violet 4th of the Corbinez 32405, 756.72 pounds fat. Perhaps the only other imported bulls that have made or 134 The Guernsey Breed Sequel's Monogram 15459, a son of Masher's Sequel, now having 17 Advanced Registry daughters with yearly records up to 583.24 pounds of fat. are making records worthy of special mention, are Golden Secret 12599, several times mentioned above and last owned by F. L. Ames; Sequel's Monogram 15649, a son of Masher's Sequel, which now has 17 advanced register daughters, with records up to 583.24 pounds of fat ; and lastly the great bull Galaxy's Sequel 16904, that three times won first prize on the islands and also won the King's Cup in 1906. He was im- ported jointly by Mr. Marsh and myself in 1910, and sold to Myron C. Wick, of Chestnut Hill Farm. He has up to date 39 advanced register daughters, with records up to 716.16 pounds of fat. Breeders and dairymen in America are constantly asking about the comparative merits of island and home-bred cattle. If our official yearly testing means what we think it should, it ought to be true that the American-bred animals backed up by these records are better on an average than the island-bred ones. But at the same time it should be remembered that much more culling has been done on the island than in this country, which may more than ofifset the more intelligent breeding that the records make possible. The following comparisons may be of interest. There are 1,015 imported and 2,969 American-bred cows entered in the advanced registry, and of these 24.7 per cent of the im- The Guernsey Breed 135 ported and 15.3 per cent of the American-bred have records of over 500 pounds of fat. In other words, the proportion of imported cows having records above 500 pounds of fat is 61 per cent greater than that of American-bred animals. The oldest cow in the advanced registry is 4885 Casseopia. Up to advanced register cow 3984, the last registered cow in the advanced registry is Jennie Glenwood of Iverness 54504, A. R. 3954, so that the total number registered between these numbers, 4885 and 54504, would be 49,619. Of this number 6,103 were imported. As stated previously, there are 1,015 imported cows in the advanced registry out of the first 3,984, which would show that 16.63 per cent of all the im- ported cows are in the advanced registry. Deducting the im- ported cattle from the total number would leave 43,416 Amer- ican^bred cows, of which 2,969, or 6.85 per cent, are in the advanced registry. My own opinion is that we need every good Guernsey cow that we can get in this country, no matter whether she is home-bred or imported, and we should get ride of the poor ones, no matter where they were bred. The development of the breed in the United States has been in the hands of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, which was organized Feb. 7, 1877, at the Astor House, New York City, the following persons being present : Dr. Charles >ij#*Ai^«.^ Galaxy's Sequel 16904, imported by W. W. Marsh and Charles L. Hill. He has 39 Advanced Registry daughters with yearly records up to 640.67 pounds of fat. 136 The Guernsey Breed R. King-, S. W. Comly, Thomas M. Harvey, Ezra Michener, Pennsylvania ; Silas Betts and Mason C. Weld, New Jersey ; James P. Swain Jr., New York ; Charles M. Beach and Edward Norton, Connecticut; E. F. Bowditch and James M. Codman, Massachusetts. W. H. CALDWELL Secretary of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. The following were the first officers of the club : President, Dr. Charles R. King, Andalusia, Pa.; secretary and treasurer; Edward Norton, Farmington, Conn. ; executive committee, Thomas M. Harvey, West Grove, Pa. ; James P. Swain Jr., Bronxville, N. Y. ; James M. Codman, Brookline, Mass.; Silas Betts, Camden, N. J. The Guernsey Breed 137 The first annual meeting of the club was held Dec. 19, 1877, and at that time it was reported that 60 bulls and 133 cows had been entered in the herd book by 40 different breeders. Mr. Norton continued as secretary until his death in 1894, when W. H. Caldwell, the present secretary, was elected. The club has been very fortunate in having had but these two capable and efficient secretaries in all of these years of its existence. Dr. King- served as president until 1882, when Dr. J. N. Borland, of Connecticut, was elected and served until 1887. Silas Betts of New Jersey served seven years from 1888 to 1895, inclusive, when, at his death, James M. Codman of Massachusetts was elected and served until 1912. Charles L. Hill, of Wisconsin, was elected in 1912, serving two years, when James Logan Fisher, of Pennsylvania, was elected. The scale of points adopted by the club in 1877 was as follows : Counts Points Quality of milk 30 Skin deep yellow, in ear, on end of bone of tail, at base of horn, on udder, teats, and body generally 20 Skin loose, mellow, with soft, fine hair 10 Quantity and duration of flow 40 Escutcheon wide on thighs, high and broad, with high ovals 10 Milk veins long and prominent 6 Udder full in front 6 Udder full and well up behind 8 Udder large, but not fleshy 4 Udder teats squarely placed 4 Udder teats of good size 2 Size and substance 16 Size for the breed 5 Not too light bone 1 Barrel round, and deep at flank 4 Hips and loins wide 2 Rump long and broad 2 Thighs and withers thin 2 Symmetry 14 Back level to setting on of tail , 3 Throat clean, with small dewlap 1 Legs not too long, with hocks well apart in walking 2 Tail long and thin 1 Horns curved and not coarse 2 Head rather long and fine, with quiet and gentle expression 3 General appearance 2 100 100 For bulls, deduct 20 counts for udder. For heifers, deduct 20 counts for udder. 138 The Guernsey Breed The only change made in this score card in the next 10 years was to take two points from the escutcheon and add them to "udder teats of good size," and note under score card said, "for bulls, deduct 18 counts for udder." At the annual meeting held in December, 1898. W. D. Hoard, J. M. Codman and Secretary Caldwell were appointed a committee to revise the score card, and December 13, 1899, the following scale was adopted: For Cows. Counts Points Dairy temperament; constitution 38 Clean cut, lean face; strong, sinewy jaw; wide muzzle with wide open nostrils; full, bright eye with quiet and gentle expression; forehead long and broad 5 Long, thin neck with strong juncture to head; clean throat; back bone rising well between shoulder blade; large, rugged spinal processes, indicating good de- velopment of the spinal cord 5 Pelvis arching and wide; rump long; wide, strong structure of spine at setting on of tail; long, thin tail with good switch; thin incurving thighs 5 Ribs amply and fully sprung and wide apart, giving an open, relaxed conformation; thin, arching flanks 5 Abdomen large and deep, with strong muscular and naval development, indicative of capacity and vitality 15 Hide firm yet loose, with an oily feeling and texture, but not thick 3 Milking marks denoting quantity of flow 10 Escutcheon wide on thighs; high and broad, with high ovals 2 Milk veins long, crooked, branching and prominent, with large or deep wells 8 Udder formation 26 Udder full in front 8 Udder full and well up behind 8 Udder of large size and capacity 4 Teats well apart, squarely placed, and of good and even size 6 Indicating color of milk 15 Skin deep yellow in ear, on end of bone of tail, at base of horns, on udder, teats and body generally.

M. Codman, J- L- Hope, Frank Fox, H. W. Griswold, W. L. Erbach and J. E, Russell was elected to revise the score card. The growth of the business of the club has been gratifying and continuous. The report of the treasurer of the club, at the eighth annual meeting, showed a total business for the year of $1,629. At the 24th annual meeting, in 1901, the treas- urer's report showed business of $9,710.25, while at the 38tJi annual meeting in 1915 it showed a business of $86,309.06. CHAPTER V. The First Private and Official Tests What is believed to be the first record of a Channel Islands cow made and published in the United States is found in Vol. IV., pag-e 115, of the "Memoirs of the Philadelphia Society for the Promotion of Agriculture." It is quoted here from Vol. I. of the Herd Registry of the American Jersey Cattle Club, page 21. "I have upon my farm on the Delaware a cow of the Alderney breed, imported a short time since by Mr. Wurts. She has been fed in the usual way with potatoes, and during the last week the milk from her was kept separate and yielded 8 pounds of butter. The cow is a small animal, and is supported with less food than our ordinary stock. "By communicating this fact to the society, it will oblige, etc. "January 11, 1817. ' RICHARD MORRIS. "P. S. — The cow is three years old. "To Roberts-Vaux, Secretary of the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture." In a note on the same page it is stated "that the cow above referred to is now in the possession of another member of the Agricultural Society ; and after a fair trial made with her during last summer (1817) the superior richness of her milk, when compared with that of other cows, has been fully tested. She gave 9^ pounds of extremely rich, highly-colored butter per week." Another mention of the same cow will be found in the fifth volume of the same work, page 47, viz: "Germantown, Oct. 20, 1818. "With this you will receive a pound of butter made from the Alderney cow imported in 1815 by Maurice and William Wurts. ind now in my possession. She calved on the 13th of last month, and is now in fine condition, running on excellent pasture of orchard grass and white clover, and gives on an average about 14 quarts of milk per day. From this quantity, during the week ending the 7th instant, we obtained 10 quarts of cream, which produced 8 pounds 2 ounces of butter, and the week succeeding 10^^ quarts, which gave 8^ pounds of the quality of the sample sent. You will perceive it is of so rich a yellow that it might be suspected that some foreign coloring mat- ter had been added to it; but you may rely on it this is not the case. I add that one of the good properties of this valuable breed of cattle is the ease with which the creani is churned, requiring but a few minutes to convert it into butter. When a proper opportunity occurs, I shall endeavor to ascertain the quantity and quality of butter to be obtained per week from the Derry cow, imported this summer from The Guernsey Breed 141 Ireland', and the Brittany cow from France, both of which breeds I have pure. "I remain respectfully, "REUBEN HAINES. "Richard Peters, Esq." In Chapter III. there is given a partial record of the cow Guernsey 184, A. G. C. C., which indicates that she was up to the standard of the breed of today. Her daughter, Katie 189, is credited with 14 pounds 5 ounces of butter in a week, which record was probably made before 1860. In 1854 Thomas Motley published a yearly butter record of the Jersey cow Flora 113, A. J. C. C., which was 511 pounds 2 ounces of churned butter. It would seem that this splendid record should have early stimulated owners of all breeds of cows to make yearly butter records, but, of course, such rec- ords involved much work and attention. I think no yearly butter record of a Guernsey cow was ever published, though, following this record of Flora's, several private yearly records were published of Jersey cows and some of other breeds. A few weekly butter records were made almost as early as that recorded of Katie, and many since. While they are of but little value in judging a cow, still such records are all we have of many of our early Guernseys. As the list of weekly butter records has not been published for some years, it may be of interest to many who have but recently commenced the breed- ing of Guernseys. Many of these were fat records with 20 per cent added for overrun. Seven-day Butter Records. Name and Number of Cow and Owner Pojnds Ounces Rovalette 3299— F. W. Tratt 28 12 Nuhia's Vesta 5986— C. R.

The only reason that can be given why more weekly butter records were not made by Guernsey cows is that the majority of them were in the hands of well-to-do gentlemen who kept them to supply their own and their friends' tables with milk, cream and butter. Know- ing the worth of their cows and having a ready market for the increase of their herds, they failed to become imbued with the testing idea. The same could be said, however, of Jersey breeders, and they were testing their cows. It may, perhaps, be true also that, realizing how little a weekly record could be depended upon as a real gauge of a cow's value, they de- clined to engage in this kind of work. Guernsey breeders early showed an inclination toward yearly records. The cow, Lily Alexandre 1059, made the following yearly milk record : Lily Alexandre 1059, A. G. C. C— 12,856 lbs. milk in 1888 and 1889. 1888 Pounds October 1,306 November I.2I8I/2 December 1,132}^ 1889 January l,010.>:t February 912 March 1,067^ April 1,047^ May 1,236J4 The Guernsey Breed 145 1889 Pounds June 1,132J^ July 1,016 August 953^ September 822^ Total 12,856 At the end of her trial she was still giving 28 pounds milk daily and was within two months of calving. The chemical analysis of her milk, made at this time, showed 7.02 per cent butter-fat, so she must have been a cow that would have made a large yearly fat record as well. Ezra Michener, of Lumberville, Pa., reported the follow- ing very good record of his cow, Euphemia 2005, for the year ending April 15, 1889: 8,685.75 pounds milk, and three butter records made in the second, fourth, and sixth months after calving of, respectively, 15, 11 and 9 pounds of butter per week. He estimated that she made at least 511 pounds of butter for the year. The Babcock test was invented in 1890 by Dr. S. M. Bab- cock, professor of chemistry in the University of Wisconsin. The whole dairy world has him to thank for a method of easily, cheaply and quickly determining the butter value of milk, which made it possible to test a cow for the year with very much less work than with a churn, and also affording greater accuracy as far as the cow's work was concerned. On February 28, 1891, I reported to Hoard's Dairyman a weekly butter-fat record for the cow. Imp. Regina 2691, the record being 283.75 pounds milk, testing 13.59 pounds fat, and this I believe to be the first butter-fat record reported. The yearly milk and fat records made in the herd of N. K. Fairbank, of Chicago, whose farm was at Lake Geneva, Wis., had much to do in bringing about a sentiment that led to the general adoption of the yearly record system. W. H. Lawrence, who had charge of the herd the 22 years of its existence, was always fully as much interested as the owner, and great credit should be given both of these gentlemen for the work done by that iierd. This herd was founded by the purchase of three head in February, 1881. Commencing with the year 1883, an account was kept of every pound of milk produced by each individual cow until the dispersion of the herd in 1903. I still have in my possession the books in which the records were kept dur- ing these 20 years, and they contain so much material for thought and instruction as to make it worth while to publish the data in this book. 146 The Guernsey Breed Until the invention of the Babcock test, Mr. Fairbank made frequent churn tests of his cows, so that he kept well informed of their butter production as well. Commencing in 1892, fat tests were made of the milk each month and the percentages used in computing the approximate totals for the yearly fat records. I feel sure that the records of this herd will be found of interest : Yearly Milk and Fat Records of the Fairbank Herd. Name Wihl Rose 370.

From the time that. our first Guernsey heifer freshened, in March, 1888, we weighed The Guernsey Breed 149 the milk of every pure-bred Guernsey in the herd, and have continued to do so to the present. We began to keep yearly fat records in 1892. Yearly records of the Ellerslie herd, owned by Levi P. Morton, were carefully kept ; and under date of February 16, 1893, Superintendent W. M. Cottrell reported to Hoard's Dairyman that the average yield per head for the 62 cows and heifers that had had a year's work completed was 6,119.75 pounds of milk. The individual records over 6,000 pounds milk were as follows : Name of Animal Months in milk Pounds Passagere I 1528 12 10,316 Golden Gvpsv 3672 13 9,102}^ Stately III 3702 10 8,687^ Cream Horn II 5663 12 8,398M Good Morning 3674 12 8,321 J4 Rosette V 3696 12 8,295j/i Sunbeam de la Porte 3703 8 8,252^ Lady Bountiful 3649 12 8,014 Duchess of Ellerslie 3666 12 7,803 J4 Rubina 3700 12 7,530J4 Bretonne 3660 12 7,496 Rose des Cotils II 3694 12 7,4731/2 May Blossom 3687 12 7,278^ Lilv of Orange II 3684 10}^ 7,244J4 Diss III 3664 12 7,133^^ Miss Amy 504 11 6,963^ Margo 2d 3686 8 6,908^/$ La Mignonne 3676 9J4 6,964'/^ Rosabella 3698 12 6,907^ Oueen of Honor 2d 3692 12 6,718% Bienfaitrice IV 3657 10 6,464i^ Bella Luce 2d 3655 lli^ 6,434 Appoline 3651 12 6,398 Rosy Cross 3662 10 6,424^ Rosaline III 3697 10 6,393^ Rose V of the King's Mills 3695 10 6,340 Floena VI 3670 11 6,302^ Belle of the Hill 2d 3656 12 6,239}^ Essence 3667 10 6,211 Fill Pail's Garnet 3671 10 6,135 Madeline 3d 3685 814 6,160^ Ruddy Lassie 3699 8^ 6,129^ Mina 3d 3699 12 6,074 111 Aug-ust, 1893, the Morton barn was unfortunately destroyed by fire and only one cow of the original herd escaped death.

"From the above it will be seen that IS cows completed' a year's work. Their average butter yield was 417.90 pounds; average milk yield, 6,626 pounds; 15.85 pounds milk to a pound of butter. Their average age at commencement of year was 3 years and 8 months. The Guernsey Breed 153 Six of the number were newly imported and only reached the farm on the last day of 1894, and seven of the 15 were exhibited at from one to four fairs during the year. These facts are mentioned because the acclimation process (which is usually considered to take a year) and the excitement incident to exhibiting tend materially to reduce the year's record. Of the younger division, five were newly im- ported and five went the round of fairs. "J. L. Hope, Superintendent." George C. Hill & Son reported the following record for 12 cows for the year 1893: "The following are the Guernsey cows in our herd that have completed yearly records since we tested every month or oftener.

That of the cow Fantine 2d 3730, A, G. C. C., owned by 154 The Guernsey Breed Fantine 2d 3730, A. G. C. C. — 516.6 pounds fat in a year. Charles Solveson. Nashotah, Wis., tested in 1895, was worthy of particular attention. In detail it is as follows : Pounds Per cent Pounds milk fat fat November 1,260 5.2 65.52 December 1,318 5.3 69.85 January 1,208 5.2 62.81 February 1,002 5.6 56.11 March 1,132 5.3 59.99 April 990 5.4 53.46 May 835 5.3 44.25 Tune 555 5.2 27.75 July 331 5 17.21 August 150 5.6 8.40 •September ... October 6-31 967 5.3 51.25 Totals 9,748 516.60 *Was milked out a few times, of which no account was taken. In this record there is one important point to take into account. Not only did Fantine 2d give this large amount of milk and butter-fat, but she was dry during the month of September and a part of October and then gave birth to a fine bull calf. This makes the record one of 11 months in- stead of a full year. During her year's work she was fed as follows : In winter her daily ration consisted of 40 pounds of ensilage, 10 pounds The Guernsey Breed 155 of cut stover, 8 pounds of mixed hay ; and of grain, 12 pounds of a mixture of oats, bran, and dried brewers' grain, with 2 pounds of oil meal. The ensilage was rich in corn, and she was allowed in addition to this what wheat straw she cared to eat. On April 1st she was turned out to pasture with the rest of the herd and her grain ration reduced to 6 pounds. The latter part of July she was fed soiling crops with the rest of the herd. Two other cows, not otherwise mentioned, made over 500 pounds fat. One was Yeksa Queen 631, owned by A. J. Philips, of West Salem, Wis., that gave 9,886.9 pounds milk, 5.2 per cent fat, yielding 514.1 pounds fat. The other one was Glenwood Girl 2d 9108. that gave 9,944.7 pounds milk and 508 pounds fat. At the meeting of the Guernsey Breeders' Association held June 8, 1894, it was suggested "that premiums be offered to breeders to induce them to breed for test. There seems to be no end of records for the Jerseys and Holsteins but a veritable dearth of Gviernsey tests. The advancement of the breed demands more thorough and systematic testing. The subject was not discussed at length but was left for a future meeting." October 26, 1894, at a meeting of this association in Phila- delphia, the following rules were drawn up under which tests were to be carried on by this association : "The samples must be secured for one day of each week, care being exercised to have these (which should be taken as soon as milked) well mixed. "The cows must be milked out clean and at regular hours, morn- ing and evening, and' equal samples taken from the entire product of the two milkings, properly cooled and delivered to Marshall and Cochran, chemists, 315 North Fifth street, Philadelphia, in condition satisfactory to them. The bottles must be full to prevent churning. "All expenses connected with the tests to be paid by the con- testants. If any test appears phenomenally high, or if, for any rea- son, the executive committee sees fit, they, or any one whom they may deputize, are at liberty to visit the dairies and take samples tor themselves during the period of testing. "Postal cards will be furnished all members making tests, on which will be blank forms to be filled and sent monthly to the secre- tary; this data to be formulated and given out at our meetings from time to time. "The testing will commence 12th month (December) 1, 1894, and persons cannot enter for the first year later than fourth month (April) 1, 1895. Report on first year's tests to be made fourth month, 1st, 1896. Any one wishing to start in advance of above date may do so by notifying the secretary and complying with these rules. 156 The Guernsey Breed Anyone desiring to enter contest between fourth month 1st, 1895, and fourth month 1st, 1896, may do so; said tests to be counted in the second year, which will end fourth month 1st, 1897, as it is deter- mined to carry on the work for at least two years. The contest is for individual tests and" for largest yield of butter-fat in a year. The yearly award's will be as follows: First prize, $100; second prize, $50; third prize, $25. "One hundred dollars of this amount to be assumed' by the asso- ciation, the balance of yearly awards to be raised by contribution. Competitors may enter more than one cow if desired, keeping records individually. Members of the Guernsey Breeders' Association only are at liberty to compete for the prizes. All animals competing must be registered in the American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Register. "The association will be glad to enroll as members other breed- ers. Terms of admission will be furnished by the secretary on appli- cation. All persons wishing to compete will please apply to the secre- tary for blanks as early as possible. It is desired that this effort will be fruitful of lasting results, and' breeders are urged to take hold in earnest in the behalf of the good work." "W. B. Harvey, Secretary. "West Grove, Pa., Nov. 1, 1894." The results of the first year's work were announced as follows : "First prize, King's Myra 5399, made 539.48 pounds of butter. She was fresh December 12, 1893; served January, 1895. Owner, Ezra Michener, Carversville, Pa. "Second prize, Imported Beauty des Domaines 3d 4933, made 504.77 pounds of butter. She was fresh September 25, 1894; served February 7, 1895; and is six years old. Test commenced October, 1894. Owner, Henry W. Comfort, Fallsington, Pa. "Third prize, Mary Marshall 5604, made 485.55 pounds of butter. She was fresh March 16, 1895; served April 3, 1895; and is four years old. Test commenced March, 1895. Owner, Ezra Michener, Car- versville, Pa. "The cows winning first and third prizes were fed a liberal but by no means an excessive ration, varying through the year, of wheat, bran, corn meal, cottonseed and oil cake, glucose, hay and fodder, in varying proportions. A sample winter month reading as follows: Three quarts each of wheat, bran, and glucose, one quart each oi cottonseed and oil meal, and some hay. "The second prize cow, at about the same time of year, had en- silage, 6 pounds of bran, 3 pounds cerealine, 3 pounds cottonseed meal, and a little hay. "Summer sample rations for same cows are as follows: First and third prize, pasture and four quarts of wheat bran, four quarts of glucose, and one quart of cotton seed meal per day. Second prize, grass and eight quarts of bran per day. "The differences in food given did not affect the award, but were mad'e a part of the record for the instruction of the members. "John C. Higgins entered Pomara 3d 1743 — dropped April 22, 1882 — made 443 pounds of butter; Golden Horn's Mary 8975 — dropped November 23, 1892 — made 407.9 pounds of butter. These cows had The Guernsey Breed 157 grass only from May 10th to September 10th. The rest of their ex- treme daily ration was eight quarts bran, one quart cottonseed meal, one bushel corn ensilage and clover hay at night. Golden Horn's Mary's test was after the first calf, April 17, 1895, to April 1, 1896; in the meantime she dropped a calf, March 12, 1896." The society voted to continue the work another year. The results for the second year were as follows : First prize, Imp. Beauty des Domaines 3d 4933, giving 535.39 pounds but- ter; second prize, Mary Marshall 5604, with 511.25 pounds butter; third prize, Jessie H. 4348, with 479.25 pounds butter. The first named was owned by H. W, Comfort, of Fallsing- ton, and the last named by Ezra Michener, Lumberville, Pa. In the fall of 1896 the writer, following the private yearly fat records being made in several herds and noting the inter- est and favorable comments in the agricultural press, wrote a letter to the executive committee of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, urging them to take up this work and offer some prizes for the best records made in this way. At a meeting of the committee in December, 1896, they appointed Secretary Caldwell and the author as a sub-committee to take the matter under consideration and report at the next annual meeting, which they did. The matter was freely discussed and a res- olution was passed "that it is the sense of this meeting that butter tests should be started and that the matter of conduct- ing them should be left with the executive committee with power to act." In July the following rules were published : Butter Test for Guernsey Cattle. "The American Guernsey Cattle Club ofifers the following prem- iurns for the cows or herds of Guernseys making the three best rec- ord's for butterfat for the year, under the conditions hereafter named. "For individual cows— $50, $30, $'20. "For herds of five cows each, $100, $60, $40. "1. All animals competing must be registered in the herd regis- ter of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. "2. The following entry fees shall be paid to the treasurer of the club on receipt of notification from him that the animals named will be accepted for competition, but no animal or animals shall be enrolled unless said fee is paid before the opening of the test. For each cow, $5. For each herd entered, $15. "3. Each contestant shall be allowed to name seven animals for the herd prize, the results to be determined from the records of the five best animals. "4. These tests shall be under the supervision of the executive committee of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, but any member 158 The Guernsey Breed of the executive committee owning animals competing in said tests shall be barred from having any supervision of said test or tests. All cows shall be wholly under the control of the owner so far as feed- ing and general treatment are concerned. "5. All the expenses connected with the tests shall be paid by the contestants except those incurred by carrying out the provisions contained in Rule 9. "6. Each year's test shall commence in November; the first test commencing November 1, 1898. All animals competing shall be named at least 30 days prior to the opening of each test. The results of each test shall be reported to the annual meeting of the club, when the prizes will be awarded. '7. At the end of each month every contestant shall report to the office of the club upon blanks furnished them for such purpose by said office: "a. A complete record of the weights of each milking. "b. An approximate statement of the amount and kind of food given the animals, and as to the manner of stabling and care of same, including the dates of service or when in heat and not served. ''8. About the middle of each month samples shall be taken of the night's and following morning's milk and sent to the agricultural experiment station of the state in which the animal is located', or to such place as may be directed or approved by the executive commit- tee, these samples to be properly labeled with the date and amount of each milking, the result of such tests to be reported by the tester to the office of the club. "9. At such times as the executive committee supervising said test or tests shall see fit, but at least twice during the year, they shall send anyone whom they may deputize to visit the herds from which animals are entered, to weigh and test the milk from cows competing. "10. The results of eacn year's tests shall be computed in the following manner: The weights of milk produced each month shall be multiplied by the per cent of butterfat as shown by the official test for that month, and the sum of the results thus obtained shall be the year's record." The work was started November 1, 1898, and the three herds of Ellerslie Stock Farm, Rhinecliff, N. Y. ; Ezra Mich- ener, Carversville, Pa. ; and Geo. C. Hill & Son, Rosendale, Wis., were entered ; and James H. Bierne, of Oakfield, Wis., also entered two single cows.

In the herd test Messrs. Hill won first and Mr. Morton second prize. By a strange coincidence, both of Mr. Bierne's cows were five years old and both calved the same day. They were bred by N. K. Fairbank at his place at Lake Geneva, Wis., and were sired by his bull Lily's Bonny Boy 2676. Lilyita's dam was Zoelita 5949, out of Zoella 3301, by Nutwood 1408, a son of the noted Materna 1334. Lily Ella was out of Zoella 3301, so their blood lines were very similar. A very interesting- account of Lily Ella's work as a three- year-old was published in the July, 1898, Herd Register of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. She then made a record after first calf of 513.18 pounds of fat in one year, and a seven- day record of 16.68 pounds of fat. The following table pre- sents the details of her record from November 1, 1898, to October 31, 1899. A study of this table shows that she not only made her record of 782.16 pounds of butter-fat but she also produced during the year a living calf, she being dry eight days before calving and for two days after calving no account being taken of her milk. Lilyita's record, while not quite as high as that of Lily Ella, was made under similar conditions, she having produced a living calf during the year and was dry about the same length of time.

The contest was so successful that the club decided to continue it, and two or three herds and some single cows were entered. All shortly withdrew, however, except the herd of Geo. C. Hill Si Son, who, at Secretary Caldwell's suggestion, also dis- continued work until the spring of 1900, except for the one cow Gypsy of Racine 9639, that promised to make an excep- tionally good record, which when completed was 11,247.5 pounds of milk, containing 611.4 lbs of fat. The second year's contest was started May 1, 1900. Dur- ing this test a state official visited the farms every month and weighed and tested a day's milk of each cow, the owner keeping a record of the weights only.

"Wishing to encourage the rearing and breeding of Guernsey cattle of high individual record in production of dairy products and standard of excellence, The American Guernsey Cattle Club has adopted the following rules for the establishment of a system of registry, to be known as The Advanced Register of Guernsey Cattle in America. Eligibility of Animals. "All animals admitted to the advanced register must previously be entered in the herd register of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. Any such will be admitted into the advanced register under any one or more of the following conditions: "Bulls — a. Admitted after scaling 80 points and having two daughters in the register. "Bulls — b. Admitted without scaling after having two daughters in register. "Cows — a. Admitted for milk or butterfat records and scaling over 75 points. "Cows — b. Admitted for milk or butterfat records without scaling. "All cows admitted must equal or exceed one of the following records. The Milk Requirement. "If record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, or previous to that da}\ she must produce within one year from that date 6,000 pounds of milk. For each day the animal is over two years old at the beginning of her year's record, the amount of milk she will be required to produce in the year will be established by adding 3.65 pounds for every such day to the 6,000 pounds required when two years old. This ratio is applicable until the animal is five years old, when the required amount will have reached 10,000 pounds, which will be the amount of milk required of all cows five years old or over. The Butterfat Requirement. "If record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, or previous to that day, she must produce within one year from that date 250.5 pounds of butterfat. For each day the animal is over two years old at the beginning of her year's record the amount of but- terfat she will be required to produce in the year will be established by adding .1 (one-tenth) of a pound for each such day to the 250.5 pounds required when two years old. This ratio is applicable until the animal is five years old, when the required amount will have reached 360 pounds, which will be the amount of butterfat required of all five years old or over. Seven-day Butterfat Record. "If record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, or previous to that day, she must produce within seven days from that date 10 pounds butterfat. For each day the animal is over two years old at the beginning of her seven-day record, the amount of butterfat she will be required to produce in the seven days will be The Guernsey Breed 163 Imp. Hayes Rosie 15476 A. R. 116—14,633.76 pounds milk, 714.31 pounds fat. established by adding .00456 (456 hundred thousandths) of a pound for each such day to the 10 pounds required when two years old. This ratio is applicable until the animal is five years old, when the required amount will have reached 15 pounds, which will be the amount of butterfat required of all cows five years old or over. '"The above yearly standards are based upon one complete year's record from the time of oeginning, regardless of the time lost by being dry or calving during that period, should such be the case. "The per cent of butter-fat shall be determined by the Babcock test. For the purpose of estimating the amount of butter from the amounts of butterfat produced, we recognize the rule approved by the association of agricultural colleges and' experiment stations, namely, 'add one-sixth to the amount of butterfat.' It should be understood, however, that in all records made for, or published in. The Advanced' Register, the amount of butterfat produced only will be given. "The records may commence at any time upon giving 10 days' notice to the secretary of the club, in order that arrangements for an inspector may be made. No seven-day records shall be commenced until 14 days have passed since the animal calved. Fees. "No entry fee will be required in this work in view of the great benefits arising to the breed by having properly authenticated milk and butter records, made, gathered, and published under this system. Reporting Records. "Blanks for reporting the results of all tests or inspections will 164 The Guernsey Breed be furnished by the secretary of the club, and must be carefully filled out. "The complete results of all seven-day records and also of each day's inspection during a year's test will be reported by the in- spectors. "The owners of the cows in the yearly records will be required to report the weight of each and every milking and such approximate statements as to food and care as they can give. Supervision and Inspection. "This register shall be under the general supervision and direc- tion of the executive committee,' who shall have power upon a ma- Imp. Princess Rhea 15479 — A.

"An oflficer or assistant of an agricultural experiment station, or of an agricultural college, or some person whose integrity and ability The Guernsey Breed 165 Veksa Sunbeam 15439, A. G. C. C— A. R. 331— yearly record, 14,920.8 pounds milk, 857.15 pounds fat. is vouched for by the director, or by the professor of dairy hus- bandry of such an institution, shall be employed to inspect and sup- ervise the tests and the descriptions of the animals for which entry is applied for. "The secretary may appoint, with the advice and consent of the executive committee, special inspectors in special cases to examine cattle offered' for entry. "No one shall examine cattle for this register over which he has charge or in which he has a pecuniary interest. "In all seven-day tests the inspector shall see the cow milked dry at its commencement, and shall be present thereafter at each milking until the record is completed; he shall determine the weight of each milking, and its average per cent of fat separately, and make a de- tailed' report of same, with a statement of the approximate amount and kind of food given the animals, and as to the manner of stabling and care of same, including the date of calving, the dates of service or when in heat and not served. Such detailed report shall be made over his signature and affidavit and forwarded to the secretary im- mediately upon the completion of the record'. "In all yearly records the inspectors shall make a report similar to the one for the seven-day tests of each month's inspection of each and every cow inspected with the exception that the inspec- tion shall be but one day's duration, and the butterfat determined from a composite sample representing all the milkings of the day. "All expenses, including time and traveling expenses, for investi- gation of the records, scaling the animals, or overseeing the seven- day tests, shall be paid by the owners of the cows so inspected. All similar expenses in connection with the yearly records shall be paid by the American Guernsey Cattle Club. The pay of the inspectors in all instances shall be a matter of agreement between the authori- ties of the experiment stations, which they represent, and the owners of the cows in the seven-day class, or the secretary of the club in the year's class." 166 The Guernsey Breed Spotswood Daisy Pearl 17696 — A. R. 790 — yearly record, 18,602.8 pounds milk, 957.38 pounds fat. As the records of the last year's competition were made under practically the same rules as those adopted, such of those cows as had passed the advanced registry requirements were admitted and appear as cows Nos. 1 to 10. The advanced registry records now completed are a great credit to the breed, and the popularity which the breed has achieved because of these tests redounds to the credit of The American Guernsey Cattle Club who thus originated the Advanced Register sys- tem based on yearly butter-fat records. Experience proves that a serious omission was made in drawing up the rules, in not requiring that a cow must drop a calf within 15 months of the time she started her record, if she started as a fresh cow. Since the Advanced Register has developed so rapidly and the high records of the leaders of each class -are con- stantly being exceeded, and since the American Guernsey Cattle Club publishes at frequent intervals not onl;-' i-he new records made from time to time but also complete lists of all of those made up to date, it is unnecessary to include the li'st The Guernsey Breed 167 in this book, though, of course, all would agree that the pub- lication of such records is the most important factor in the development of the breed today. To show the development of the work, however, the following list is given of the cows that once were leaders in the several classes: Murne Cowan 1959;— A.

R. 628 14,009.13 703.36 It has been interesting to watch the development of this work and to see how quick the breeders are to follow up the blood lines of the animals that have made or are making phenomenal records. Not only have the cows made wonderful records, but their ability to do it year after year is even more remarkable. Probably the most notable example is that of Dolly Dimple 19144, that made 70Z.2>7 pounds fat as a two-year-old, 906.89 pounds at 3^/2 years of age, and 876.34 pounds at five years of age. Her dam, Dolly Bloom 12770, made 453.86 pounds as a two-year-old, 623.94 pounds as a three-year-old, and 836.21 pounds at five years of age. Dairymaid of Pinehurst 24656 made 405.51 pounds as a two-year-old, 860.26 pounds as a three-year-old, and 910.67 pounds at 4^ years of age. Other cows that twice or more times have stood at the head of successive classes are Imp. Itchen Daisy 3d 15630, Yeksarose 16610, and Azucena's Pride 2d 24956. Practically the whole dairy public now concedes that semi-official yearly butter-fat tests conducted on the lines of our advanced registry are the only system needed for pro- moting and recording the work of any dairy breed. Still the Guernsey breeders have not been backward in entering their cows in public competition from time to time. The rules for the advanced registry have been changed from time to time, and a copy of the latest rules for this work can always be obtained by writing the American Guernsey Cattle Club, Peterboro, N. H. The principal changes in the rules since their adoption are that today the owners are re- quired to pay the expense of the monthly inspection, animals are now admitted on a yearly record only, all animals are ad- mitted without scoring, and the requirement for milk pro- duction has been eliminated so that animals are now admitted on a butter-fat basis only. CHAPTER VI.

Another cow that made a very notable milk record on the Island was Pretty Dairymaid 2d 1469, F. S. In an ofificial test for three days she gave 61 pounds 2 ounces, 62 pounds 12 ounces, and 52 pounds 9 ounces — total, 176 pounds 7 ounces — in three consecutive days, and the reason for her being so low on the third day was that she was out the whole day in a severe storm. In 1911 Mr. Marsh offered the Royal Guernsey Agricul- tural Society $500 for prizes for semi-official yearly butter Victim of Injustice 3084, F. S. — Record, 8 pounds 9 ounces in three days. 172 The Guernsey Breed tests, the test to be conducted on much the same basis as our Advanced Register records are made. They refused his gift of $500, but adopted rules almost exactly along the lines sug- gested by Mr. Marsh. The rules follow : In order to encourage the breeding and rearing of cattle of great merit in production of high quality dairy products the Royal Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Society adopt the following rules for the establishment of a system of registry to be known as Flukes 378, F. S. — 396 pounds 13 ounces milk in seven days. "The Advanced Register of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Society's Herd' Book." (1) This register shall be under the general supervision and direction of the managing committee, who shall have power to alter and amend' the conditions established, and their decision shall be final. The managing committee shall have power to appoint a sub- committee to carry on the work. Eligibility of Animals. (2) Any animal owned by a resident of the Island of Guernsey or its Bailiwick, and entered in the Herd Book of the Royal Guern- sey Agricultural and Horticultural Society may be entered for ad- mission in the Advanced Register under any of the following condi- tions: (a) Bulls having two daughters in this Advanced" Register or that of any recognized "Guernsey" testing association with equivalent requirements. (b) Cows of five years old and upwards that have provided 360 The Guernsey Breed 173 Advanced Registry cows owned by Thos. Langlois, Gree, Guernsey. pounds butterfat in an official test of not more than 365 consecutive days, or younger animals in accordance with the scale given below: Age of Cow 'ears Months 2 2 3 2 6 2 9 3 3 3 3 6 3 9 4 4 3 4 6 4 9 Allowance Actual Butterfat Per Cent Requirements 40 216 lbs. 37 226.8 lbs. 34 237.6 lbs. 30 252 lbs. 25 270 lbs. 21 284.4 lbs. 18 295.2 lbs. 15 306 lbs. 11 320.4 lbs. 9 327.6 lbs. 5 342 lbs. 3 349.2 lbs. An allowance of 2 per cent will be made to cows due to calve within 13 months of date of last calving, and of 4 per cent if within 12 months of date of last calving. The words "due to calve" shall be understood to mean 287 days from date of last service. (c) In order that these tests may be carried on under normal farming conditions all cows entered are expected to be led and safely in calf within five months of the date of last calving. A cow failing to comply with this rule, may, subject to the consent of the sub- committee, be entered in the Advanced Register under the following penalty, viz., a deduction from her record as under: — If calving within 14 months of last calving, 4 per cent. If calving within 15 months of last calving, 6 per cent. If calving within 16 months of last calving, 8 per cent. If calving within 17 months of last calving, 10 per cent. If calving within 18 months of last calving, 12 per cent. 174 The Guernsey Breed If calving within 19 months of last calving, 14 per cent. If calving within 20 months of last calving, 16 per cent. If calving within 21 months of last calving, 18 per cent. If calving within 22 months of last calving, 20 per cent. If calving after this period she will not be accepted for entry. Exceptional cases, such as abortion, will be dealt with on their merits by the managing committee. The owner will be at liberty to feed his cow or cows at his own discretion. Fees and Expenses. (3) The entrance fee for testing shall be lO'l- for each cow. This fee will cover the entire cost for the year, except that it may be necessary to provide meals for the supervisor on the day of the official monthly test. When an animal has qualified for entry under the requirements of Rule 2, the secretary, in accordance with Rule 14, will be em- powered to enter such animal in the Advanced Register, and issue a certificate on payment of a fee of 5|- for each cow, and' 10|- for each bull, to defray cost of registration. Commencement of Records. (4) Regular entry forms will be furnished free by the secretary, and also printed blanks for keeping the record's. The entry form, properly filled out, must be handed to the secretary, accompanied by the fee, within seven days of the com- mencement of taking record. (5) The test period need not be confined' to one period of lactation, but may extend into the following period of lactation, pro- vided it is confined to 365 consecutive days. (6) In the case of a cow entered immediately after calving, record's may not commence until the seventh day after calving, and shall close 365 days from the date of the first record. Nature of Tests. (7) The test, which is to determine the amount of butterfat given in one year (365 days) by any cow, shall consist of a daily record of milk production to be kept by the owner of animals en- tered, added to a test made for one full day each month by an offi- cial supervisor, or supervisors, appointed bv the Royal Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Society, who will see each cow milked and weigh such milk immediately, taking samples of each milking, and testing same for butterfat by the Babcock or Gerbher tester, such butterfat tests to be taken as the average for the month. (8) The cows under test shall be milked the same number oi times on the day of the visit of the official supervisor as they have been on the preceding days of the month, and the number of milk- ings per day shall in no case exceed three. (9) The average per cent butterfat, calculated from the yield and the tests of milk as reported by the supervisor, will be taken as representing the average fat contents of the milk of the cow during that calendar month. The total of the monthly milk yields and the total of the monthly credits for butterfat shall constitute the year's record for milk and butterfat respectively. (10) In the event of either the supervisor or owner being dis- The Guernsey Breed 175 satisfied with the record of the day on which the test was made, then a second' test may be made by the supervisor, such second test to be noted on the record sheet. (11) No owner shall be entitled to have more than eight cows under test at the same time without first having obtained a special permit from the secretary. (12) It shall be permitted for any representative of any recog- nized Guernsey Testing Association to look over the tests made by the official supervisors. Re-entry. (13) An animal after having been admitted to the Advanced Register may be re-tested for the purpose of giving a better record, and, if successful, admitted and' the record published as "Entry of Ad- ditional Record," using the original number assigned to the animal and giving reference to previous record. The fees payable being as per Rule 3. Issue of Certificate. (14) All completed records shall be submitted by the secretary to the sub-committee, and no certificates shall be written until the records, thus submitted, have been approved by this committee. The sub-committee shall' have the right to refuse or delay for further investigation any record which in their judgment it is wise so to do. (15) All entries in the Advanced Register will be published in the next issue of the society's herd book. (16) Any incorrect entry may be expunged from the manuscript volume of the register, and the certificate of such entry revoked by the managing committee upon evidence of its incorrectness. Sub-Committee Pow^ers. (17) The sub-committee, appointed by the managing commit- tee for the purpose of the Advanced Register, shall have the power to arbitrate all points of difiference that may arise, subject to the right of appeal to the managing committee. They shall also have power to reject or discontinue any cow from the test for any reason they may consider good and sufficient, and may, when considered desirable, delegate one of their number to accompany the official supervisor. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO SUPERVISORS. Identification of Cow. "The supervisor shall at each visit satisfy himself that the cow to be tested answers the description as to color markings given when entered. In case the animal does not agree with the description furnished the supervisor shall report same to the secretary. Conduct of the Tests. 1. The supervisor shall be present at the last regular milking preceding the beginning of the test, and' shall satisfy himself that the cow is milked dry at that time. He shall note the hour at which this milking is made, and the final milking on the day of test must be made at the corresponding hour. 2. He must be present throughout each and every milking dur- ing the test, and satisfy himself that at the close of each milking the pail contains nothing but the milk drawn from the cow in the test. 176 The Guernsey Breed 3. Under no circumstances shall more than two cows under- going test be milked at the same time. The supervisor must in every case be in position to observe the milker or milkers throughout the whole milking. 4. Immediately after the milk is drawn he shall take charge of the pail and contents, weigh the same on scales, the accuracy of which he has tested', and enter the exact weight of milk, at once, on his record. He shall also test the scales of the owner to see if they correspond with his own, 5. As soon as the milk has been weighed and is thoroughly mixed by pouring it from one pail to another, or by means of a dip- per, a sample is immediately taken. The supervisor takes charge of and is personally responsible for this sample. The owner has the right to demand" from the supervisor duplicate samples for testing. The test is proceeded with as soon as convenient after the milK has cooled to ordinary room temperature. 6. Duplicate fat determinations are always made by the Babcock or Gerbher test, and both determinations recorded. Readings of the result are made about 130 F.; the test bottles are preferably placed in a small tin pail containing water of this temperature for five min- utes before the readings are taken. If duplicates vary more than two-tenths of 1 per cent, the test must be repeated. The sample taken from any one milking is not thrown away until a satisfactory result is obtained. The supervisor shall enter at once the results obtained on his record' book. 7. The supervisor shall be required to pay special attention to the filling out of the test report blanks, especially as to dates of calving, service, in heat, or not served, etc. Any sickness or other conditions shall be made a note of. 8. The supervisor is not at liberty to decide as to which stipula- tions contained herein are essential, and which are not, but is re- quired to observe these directions in all details. He shall report promptly any irregularity or unusual occurrence in connection with the test which he may observe, and shall in general, take all means to conduct a fair and equitable test of the cows placed under his supervision.

Already these yearly records are having a marked effect on the breeding operations of the is- land, and it is almost certain that in a short time most of the bulls used on the Island will be from the cows that have made advanced register records. Prices for the best of the tested animals are going up by leaps and bounds as the American breeders come to know more about their records. The islanders, trained by their show yard ideals, will maintain the individual excellence of the Island cattle, but it is to be hoped that they will not let either one make them forget to maintain the peculiar trait of the breed, that of giving highly colored and highly flavored milk, cream and butter. CHAPTER VII. Guernseys in Public Tests While the value of public tests has been greatly over- estimated, still this book would hardly be complete without a review of the results achieved by them. The earliest record that I find of a Guernsey cow being entered in a public test Imp. Coraline 1790 — 18.74 ounces fat in one day — 18 pounds butter in seven days on grass alone. is that of the cow, Coraline 1790, at the Wisconsin State Fair in 1886. The results of this test on a butterfat basis were as follows : Butterfat Butterfat Av'ge for Sept. 22 Sept. 23 24 hours Cow Breed ounces ounces ounces Gabriel Champion Jersey 23.21 24.28 23.80 Fyke Holstein-Friesian 13.29 11.93 12.61 Sister Rex Jersey 22.52 22.81 22.67 Coraline 1790 Guernsey 18.50 18.98 18.74 Rosa Grade 29.97 26.20 28.09 According to the scale of points adopted, these cows were credited as follows : 182 The Guernsey Breed 1 point for 3 points for every 10 days each ounce fat Cow ' since calving in 24 hours Total Gabriel Champion 4.80 71.40 76.20 Fyke 6.00 37.83 43.83 Sister Rex 3.90 68.01 71.91 Coraline 11.80 56.22 68.02 Rosa 9.20 84.26 93.46 Coraline was fed an average of 12 pounds of grain a day and the others were fed from 13.09 pounds for Fyke up to 18.11 pounds for Rosa. At the New York State Fair in 1890, there were entered in a butter test four herds of four cows each. Two were Hol- stein herds, one was a Jersey, and one a Guernsey. The rules required the cost of food consumed to be taken into considera- tion, and the prize of $100 was awarded for the greatest total production of butterfat. Quite a complete report of this test will doubtless prove of interest. The following is a copy of the ofificial report made by the society. Herd No. 1 — Guernseys. Owner, Levi P.

Those were the days of the large weekly but- ter records, and it is of interest to note that the two cows, Tirania and Mechthilde, of Messrs. Robinson's herd were credited with private records of 39 pounds 10.5 ounces and 36 pounds 11 ounces, respectively, in seven days, while none of the Guernsey cows have published records. It was revela- tions such as these that deterred Guernsey breeders from mak- ing- private butter tests against such questionable competi- tion. Writers of those days often said there was no evidence of the Guernseys being good producers, simply because Guernsey breeders did not take kindly to the weekly butter Weight Age Days in Days in pounds years milk gestation 1,136 14 49 None 1,094 3 55 None 1,014 3 50 None 1,094 S 35 None 184 The Guernsey Breed test. When records began to be made on a fat basis, they found reasons to change their minds. In May, 1887, a New York dairy show was held at Mad- ison Square Gardens, at which a public one-day test was carried on, and the following table gives the results : Curd Total fat Butter Fat by dif.

The results indicate that there was a disposition on the part of the buttermakers to leave considerable water in the butter, and Dr. S. M. Babcock, writing under date of May 21, 1887, commenting on this said: "I think the only fair way to judge such tests is by the amount of fat which the butter contains." In 1888 the New Jersey Experiment Station asked the different associations registering purebred dairy cattle to se- lect and furnish the station with three purebred cows each. Five associations did this. In Bulletin 47, December 11, 1890, the following tables were published: Table I — Average Composition of Milk for Eight Months.

At about the same time, the station located at Geneva, N. Y., undertook similar work, except that they started with heifers instead of with cows, and they, too, were unfortunate in that disease nearly ruined many of the cows. Probably because of this discouragement and also because there was so little value in a test of breeds where so few individuals were concerned, they discontinued the work. The following table and the table on page 186 are taken from the report of that station for 1894: Table Showing Cost of One Pound of Butterfat. Breed American Holderness. American Holderness.

The table on page 187 gives a complete summary of the work as far as they carried it. While the number of individuals involved in this experi- ment is small, the results bear out other similar tests in prov- ing that in economy of butterfat production the Guernsey has no superior. In 1900 Prof. F. W. Woll, of the University of Wisconsin, published in the Breeders' Gazette a compilation of the aver- age annual production of 186 cows of different breeds, all of which had been at different American, experiment stations, and the results are as follows : Average Annual Production of Cows of Different Breeds. Number Average Milk Fat Cost of Per cent Breed of cows live wt. pounds pounds food of fat Jersey 79 886 5,683 290.0 $42.12 5.10 Holstein-Friesian 30 1,169 7,868 274.6 48.46 3.49 Guernsey 26 937 5,889 294.5 38.73 5.00 Ayrshire 17 977 6,536 238.5 48.44 3.65 Shorthorn 17 1,169 7,314 292.5 40.52 4.00 Devons 6 884 4,743 203.8 4.30 Native 8 1,021 6.181 245.8 3.98 American Holderness ..2 864 5,869 218.6 41.19 3.72 Polled Angus 1 1,256 5,992 261.7 37.07 4.37 It will be noted by this table that not only did Guernseys lead in the average production of butterfat, but also that they produced this at a lower food cost than the cows of any other breed, with the exception of the single Polled Angus cow, with a production much lower than that of the Guernseys. The cost of food required for the production of milk and fat was as follows : Food cost per Food cost 100 pounds milk, pound fat, Breed cents cents Jersey 74.0 14.5 Holstein-Friesian 61.6 17.6 Guernsey 65.8 13.2 Ayrshire 74.1 20.3 Shorthorn 55.4 13.9 American Holderness 70.2 18.8 Polled Angus 61.9 14.2 In 1893 there was carried on at the World's Fair at Chi- cago a very exhaustive breed test, in which 25 cows of the Jersey, the Guernsey, and the Shorthorn breeds were entered. The test was divided into three periods, the first being from May 16th to May 26th, in which a test for the production of cheese was carried on; the second of 90 days from June 1st to August 29th, for the production of butter ; and the third of 30 days' duration. At each change of period breeders were al- The Guernsey Breed 189 lowed to substitute any animals that they wished. In the cheese contest the cheese was valued as follows : That scor- ing 95 to 100, at 16c; 90 to 95, at 14c; 85 to 90, at 12c; 80 to 85, at 10c. The cost of food for producing one pound of cheese was, for Guernseys, $6.74; for Jerseys, $6.76, and for Short- horns, $9.22. The figures of total production and cost were as follows : Pounds milk Pounds cheese - Cost of Breed given made food Guernsey 10,938.6 1,130.62 $76.25 Jersey 13,296.4 1,451.76 98.14 Shortliorn 12,186.7 1,077.60 99.36 The prices of foodstufifs per ton were : Cornmeal, $22 ; corn hearts, $13.50; oats, $23; cottonseed, $26; bran, $12.50; middlings, $13; grano gluten, $14.75; oil meal, $22; hay, $11.50; and ensilage, $5. It is very difficult to compute com- parative profits for these cows because prices of food and products have so changed.

Morton 669.1 I have purposely omitted the matter of profit because the butter was variously credited at from 40c to 50c per pound when it was not worth an average of 25c in the market that year. This made it possible to figure much larger profits for the cows than the conditions warranted. In the case of the cheese test, the cheese was actually worth not over 8c per pound, and with lj4c as the usual price allowed for the mak- ing, the Guernsey and Jersey cows would have just paid for Pounds Cost of fat Weight food 45.28 1,150 $5,587 45.37 985 6.111 43.33 1,082 5.651 45.88 1,147 7.082 45.16 1,076 7.36 44.63 ■ 1,041 7.067 41.85 975 5.979 39.26 966 5.717 39.56 961 6.526 37.89 983 6.372 36.53 897 6.13 34.21 971 5.508 33.79 974 5.859 34.39 918 6.369 30.83 996 5.458 192 The Guernsey Breed their feed, while the Shorthorns would have come a good way from it. But in the published reports, with cheese valued at 125^@15c, the cows were represented as making individual profits for the 15 days of from $1.08 to $6.97. Throughout the year the Guernseys maintained their reputation for scoring above other breeds in the flavor of the butter, while the Jersey butter always excelled in solidity. Medara Fern 7^26 — Member Pan-American Model Dairy Herd, Buffalo, 1901. When it is considered that, up to the time of this test, only about 6,000 Guernseys had been registered in America, that the Guernsey interests were then in their infancy, and that only by the generosity of some men deeply interested in the breed was it possible for the Guernseys to enter this test, the results were very gratifying, indeed, and multitudes of new friends were made for the breed. As the Guernsey butter was made without artificial coloring matter, it proved a revela- tion to people who had not previously known of the breed. In 1901 the officials of the Pan-American Exposition, to be held in Bufifalo that year, announced that they would con- duct a model dairy, to consist of five cows from each of as many breeds as could be obtained. The committee of the The Guernsey Breed 193 American Guernsey Ca^ttle Club that was put in charge of the Guernseys would never have taken the cows to Buffalo at all except upon the representation of the officials that no test would be attempted, but that only a model dairy would be carried on. When the committee reached Buffalo, how- ever, and the cows were on the grounds, it was found that plans were under way for a regular breed contest similar to the one conducted at Chicago, The Guernsey people had decided after the Chicago test that the results to be obtained Procris of Paxtang 8722, A. R. 14 — Member Pan-American Model Dairy Herd, Buffalo, 1901. from such tests were not commensurate with their cost ; but, having the cows at Buffalo, the committee finally decided to participate. Much credit is due S. I. Murphy for the work done by the Guernseys. The American Guernsey Cattle Club have given such wide publicity to that test, that the results are reviewed here only in summary. The following regulations were adopted to govern the competition of returns and the awarding of honors : Prices of feed per ton: Oil meal, $25; bran, $15; ground oats, $19; cottonseed' meal, $25; corn meal, $16; gluten feed, $16; pea meal, $25; clover hay, $7; ensilage, $2; green food, $1.75. Values of products per pound: Butter, 25c; total solids, 9c. The Guernsey Breed Cassiopeia 4885 — Member Pan-American Model Dairy Herd, Buffalo, 1901. Butterfat on a basis of 85 per cent fat in butter. The loss or gain in weight of animals to be computed at 3c per pound. What the loss or gain in live weight has to do with pro- duction in live cows has hardly been determined. Prizes were awarded as follows : A prize for the herd showing the greatest net profit, but- terfat alone considered, as determined by the Babcock test. A prize for the herd showing the greatest net profit in total solids. A prize for the herd showing the greatest net profit in total solids and in loss and gain of live weight. The names of the five Guernsey cows participating in the test were Cassiopeia 4885, Procris of Paxtang 8722, Medara Fern 7426, Vega 7214, and Mary Marshall 5604. The standing of the 10 breeds competing in the Model Dairy Breed Test in the dififerent classes follows : The prizes were awarded according to the net profit, de- termined by deducting the cost of food from the total value of the product.

Owing to lack of machinery, during the first three weeks no churnings were made. The amount of butter credited for the period was determined in a similar manner from the actual churning during the following three weeks. Production of Churned Butter.

To Guernsey breeders these results were most gratifying. It established the fact that the Guernsey has no superior as a butter pro- ducer. This breed test, and that at the World's Fair at Chi- cago have proven that no one breed has all the best cows, that there are good points in all breeds, and that the Guern- sey has shown the public she is willing to divide honors with them all. The official records of the Pan-American test show that the Guernsey cow, Mary Marshall, returned the greatest net profit in butter production of the entire 50 entered. Her profit was $59.41 for the period. The Guernsey cow, Cassio- peia stood third, with a profit of $50.42, and the Guernsey cow, Procris, fifth, with a profit of $49.49; thus three of the best five cows were Guernseys. The records also show that the Guernseys made butter at the least cost per pound, and re- turned the greatest profit for every dollar invested in feed.

The average score shows that the Guernsey butter ranked highest on flavor and color, thus being the best-quality butter. The score used in judging the butter was as follows: Flavor, 45; grain, 25; color, 15; salt, 10; finish, 5. Total. 100. In the test no use of butter coloring was allowed. Average Butter Scores.

From these averages it will be seen, that the qualities that have been claimed for Guernsey products are noticeable here. The desirable flavor which has been so highly prized wher- ever Guernsey milk and cream have been sold we find in the butter. It is not expected that the ability of the Guernsey to color her milk and butter is so pronounced in the summer season when on green, food in comparison with some of the other breeds, but it was readily seen in the samples of butter exhibited and in the scoring. The contrast would undoubt- edly have been much greater in the winter season on dry feed. To those of us who watched the scoring of the butter for color the scores given did not at all represent the dififer- ences in the butter, for some that was practically devoid of color was scored as high as llyi or 13, while butter practically perfect in color was scored but 14^. If in the scoring of but- ter 15 points out of 100 is not too much to allow for color, then in a contest of this kind white butter should be scored much lower than is done in practice. If only two points of difference are all that may be made for color, then 12 points should be taken from the points allowed for color and added to those for flavor. If this were done, Guernsey butter would score higher because of its recognized superiority in flavor over other butters. It will also be noted that the Guernsey cows maintained 198 The Guernsey Breed their reputation for producing butterfat at the lowest cost per pound. In 1909 W. W. Marsh, of Waterloo, Iowa, offered $1,000 for prizes for a dairy cow contest to be carried on under the auspices of the Iowa Experiment Station. The owners of dairy cattle in that state vied with each other in securing the best cows to be had to enter in this contest. At least $2,500 is said to have been paid for a cow that finished a long way behind the winner. Mr. Marsh entered three cows himself. Dairymaid of Pinehurst 24656 — 14,562.4 pounds milk, 860.26 pounds fat in one year. When the year was ended his cows had produced the three largest amounts of butterfat given by any cow in the contest. They were Dairymaid of Pinehurst 24656, 14,562.4 pounds of milk, 860.26 pounds of fat; Jedetta of Pinehurst 17434, 15,109.1 pounds of milk, 778.8 pounds of fat ; and Glencoe's Bopeep 18602, 18,121.7 pounds of milk, 622.61 pounds of fat. The result of this competition was to greatly advertise the Guernseys, and Dairymaid of Pinehurst was in the years 1910 and 1912 the leading attraction at the National Dairy Show. In 1909 and 1911 a similar contest was carried on in Wis- consin. In two different months a purebred Guernsey led in the production of butterfat, and in another month a Guernsey grade led. The Guernsey grade cows were the sensation of The Guernsey Breed 199 this contest. Their work will be spoken of in another chap- ter. In this contest many excellent records were made with purebreds, the best being that of Yeksa Unis 19790, 640.7 pounds of fat at 4^^ years of age. In the Illinois competition, which closed October 1, 1912, the Guernseys also made a remarkably good showing. Con- trafuria 29090 won third place in. Class A, cow any age, with a record of 11,743.2 pounds of milk, containing 534.14 pounds of fat. She also won second prize, Class E, cows two to three years of age. Her stable mate, Snippy Glenwood 29098, fol- lowed her in this class, with a record of 10,549 pounds of milk containing 510.59 pounds of fat. The prize offered for the largest number of grade cows producing over 300 pounds of butterfat in a year was won by Joseph Nicholson, of West Brooklyn, whose average for eight grade Guernseys was 7,026.6 pounds of milk containing 331.15 pounds of butterfat. These contests greatly stimulated dairy sentiment in the beef country. For the first time in some of these states the average farmer realized what the production of a real dairy cow might be. At many other fairs and exhibitions the Guernsey has shown herself equal to any rival in the excellence of dairy qualities. In the light of present knowledge of the small value of short time tests, whether made under favorable home conditions or at exhibitions, where changes of feed, water and atmosphere make good results unlikely, these tests are un- deserving of further mention in this book. CHAPTER VIII. Show-yard Records While the breeders of Guernsey cattle have from the very- first been particularly strong advocates of production records as the important means of improving their Ijreed, still they have always been ready to exhibit the best specimens of the breed in competition with their fellow Guernsey breeders at leading fairs and exhibitions. In the early days the Jersey and the Guernsey were shown at both English and American fairs in the same class, generally under the name of Alderney or Channel Islands Aged Cow I '10. cattle, but as early as 1870 the secretary of the Royal Agri- cultural Society of England recommended that the Guernseys be given a class by themselves, and they were first classed alone at the exposition of that society in 1871. Good showings of Guernseys began to be made at the New York State and other leading eastern fairs in. the early '80s. The cow Elegante 592 was the sweepstakes winner over all Ijreeds at the New York State Fair in 1881, having won first prize on Guernsey in 1880 at the Herd Book Show and second at the show of the Royal Guernsey Agricultural Society in the same year. The growth of show-yard interest has steadily increased, until now, with the Guernseys third in rank in the number of registered animals, they have for the last two or three years made the largest exhibits of all breeds at many of the leading fairs east and west and at the National Dairy Show. It is impossible in a book of this size to give even an approx- The Guernsey Breed 201 imately complete record of the show-yard winnings at the state fairs alone, but notice will be taken of some animals that are worthy of particular mention. Competition, was not keen enough before about 1890 to make the records of partic- ular interest, except in the case of one or two shows. In 1887 a dairy show was held at the Madison Square Garden, New York City. The following is a list of the ex- hibitors of Guernseys and the number of animals each showed : Exhibitor Males Females J. W. Fuller 1 6 Wm. Lindsey 1 2 E. N. Howell 5 9 A. J. Cassatt 1 6 C. B. Wood 2 5 L. W. Ledyard 1 3 Joseph Krouse 1 1 Francis Shaw 2 14 Mrs. S. P. Taber-Willetts 3 13 Total 17 59 Guernseys had never been seen assembled in the num- bers and with the quality exhibited at this show, and at least one of the leading agricultural papers pronounced Mr. Shaw's exhibit the best of all at the show. The prizes were awarded as follows : Herd consisting of bull one year old or over, and four females, two in milk and two over one year old, of which such as were not bred by exhibitor have been his property during three months previous to the exhibition — one prize only : Francis Shaw, bull, Squire of Larchmont 911 ; females. Dawn 711, France 2207, Picotte 2d 2218, Jessie of Lester Manor 740. Bull of any age, and four of his progeny (females) : No first prize awarded; second prize, Chas. B. Wood bull. Fancy's Lad 651 ; progeny, Fancy's Beauty 3087, Champion Snowf^ake 3086, Fancy's Golden Girl 3081, Starr's Golden Beauty 3083. Bulls one year old and under two : First prize, E. N.

Special prize for cow with calf, calf six weeks old or under: Mrs. S. P. Taber-Willetts, Gazelle of Fernwood 1467. Heifer two years old and under three: First prize, E. N. Howell, My Pet 3094 ; second prize, Mrs. S. P. Taber-Willetts, Cottie Gold Drop 2192. Heifer one year old and under two : First prize, Francis Shaw, Vestall of Lehigh 2579; second prize, Francis Shaw, Victorine 4th 2547; third prize, J. W. Fuller, Windfall 4th 2580. Heifer calf under one year old : First prize, Francis Shaw, Vestall of Braintree 3056; second prize, Francis Shaw, Pic- ciola 3054. As early as 1891, 93 Guernseys were exhibited at the New York State Fair. The leading exhibitors were Hon. Levi P. Morton, with the Ellerslie herd ; F. B. Buckley, Valley Falls, and R. A. Borden, Easton, N. Y. In 1892, G. Howard Davison, Millbrook, N. Y., began showing a herd with great success not only in the east but The Guernsey Breed 203 through the central west, and the next year he easily carried off the honors at the World's Fair at Chicago. Portions of the Breeders' Gazette's report of that show may be of interest: This yellow-skinned' breed of Channel Islands cattle was strongly represented in the character of its exhibits, if not in numbers. It is an attractive breed in the showyard. Ample size, evidently strong constitutions, handsome fawn color with white spots, waxy horns, large and well-shaped udders, and the clearly-marked' yellow nose eye, ear, and skin unite to make it exceedingly prepossessing in barn, pasture, or on dress parade. Exhibitors at the Columbian were as follows: Dr. G. Howard Davison, Altamont Farm, Millbrook, N Y.; A. J'. Cassatt. Berwyn, Pa.; W. D. Richardson, Garden City Minn.; J. N. Greenshields, Danville, Can.; Francis Shaw, Wayland Mass.; and N. K. Fairbank, Chicago. F. W. Tratt, Whitewater, Wis., judged this section. A word or two concerning the prize win- ners may be of interest. It was a very excellent half dozen aged bulls which entered the arena. They were of good size, unmistakable Guernsey form, and outstanding richness of golden color. It was not a difficult task to locate the close contestants, for Dr. Davison's Imp. Lord Stranford 2187, the most famous prize winning bull of the breed, and Mr. Shaw's Deputy, which is in service at the Guernsey test barn, were clearly at the head of the class and claiming some attention as to the ad- justment of their relative claims. Both are magnificent specimens of the breed and of an order of excellence rarely met with. Lord Stranford was in fine bloom and in conformation, quality, and rich- ness he is a grand type of a dairy bull. He is full of the finest masculine character, excelling in back quarters and handling quali- ties. Position at the head of the class seemed of right to belong to him, and we can compliment Deputy no more highly than to say he stood a close second. He is admirably fashioned, is full of quality and character, and easily takes rank among the high class bulls of the breed. Mr. Cassatt's Nonsuch 2701, a bull of very good lines, nicely made on back and quarters and showing a soft and pliable hide, had third honors, leaving in fourth place Mr. Richardson's Yeksa's Prince 1943, a bull with much depth of rib, well-turned quarters and much Guernsey character. Greenshield's Ontario 743 was fifth and Cassatt's Flippant 2201 was sixth. A couple of the top cows of the breed confronted the judge, and with so closely matched a pair it is perhaps too much to expect a unanimity of opinion as to their respective merits. Dr. Davison has certainly one of the grand cows of the breed in Purity 2315, and Mr. Fairbank can as clearly lay claim to this distinction with Materna 1334, with whose performances in the Columbian test our readers are familiar. She was the only cow shown from the test barn. They are much the same style — large, robust, low-set, business-looking, with large and well-made udders and' teats fashioned and set for easy grasping. They differ materially in one point. Materna is rather homely-headed while Purity has a handsome head and a countenance full of sweet femininity. Materna has a little larger veins and" we understand was on that account put to the front. We should not so have placed them. As to conformation, constitution, and milking machinery, there is little difference. Whatever of beauty and finish 204 The Guernsey Breed is added to a cow is distinctly that much to her credit. The cows now stand side by side in the Guernsey test barn, for Purity has entered the 30-day test, and at present there is little difference in their yield's. Visitors to that barn can make their own choice. We fancy most of them would choose a herd of Purity's kind. Mr. Cassatt had third on Birdie of Berwyn 1894, a deep-ribbed, big-uddered. well- veined, workaday cow, sweet and fine enougli. and fourth on Encore 4585, a wedge-shaped sort bi^ilt all over on dairy lines, but a long time Lord Stranford 2187 — first prize, World's Fair, 1893. in lactation. Mr. Richardson was fifth and seventh on Berkshire Maid 2130 and Imp. Ophir 2520, and Mr. Davison was sixth with Gloriana 3d 2959, a good stamp of a cow, but dry. The list of awards follows: Herds — First to Davison on Lord Stranford 2187, Purity 2315, Indiana Girl 3d, Bessie of Duncannon 5480, Czarina of Millbrook 6235, and Daremere 6538; second to Cassatt on Flippant 2201, Encore 4585, Nellie Ovid 4802, Milvest 5808, Maudina of Chester 6201, and Vexation 6772; third to Richardson on Yeksa's Prince 1943, Berk- shire Maid 2130, Milkmaid 2d 5225, Ophir's Evaline 6936, Belle R. 6933, and Ophir's Pearl 6937. Young herds — First to Davison; second to Cassatt. Four animals the get of one bull — First to Davison on the progeny of Hero of Springside 2328; second to Richardson on the get of Yeksa's Prince 1943; third to Cassatt. Two animals the produce of one cow — First to Cassatt on Encore 4585 with Enchantress 6204 and Joy; second to Davison on Purity 2315 with Czarina of Millbrook 6235 and Daremere 6538; third to Richardson on Ophir's Evaline 6936 and Ophir's Pearl 6937; fourth The Guernsey Breed 205 to Cassatt on Clella's Pet 5161 with Petite of Chester 6203 and Count Berwyn. Lord Stranford was sweepstakes bull and Materna was sweep- stakes cow. Joseph L. Hope began showing" the H. McK. Twombly herd in 1895, and for several years was an easy winner at all the large Eastern fairs, including what was probably the fin- Sheet Anchor 2934 — first prize, Madison Square Garden, 1895-96. est show ever made in the east, the Madison Square Garden Live Stock Show of 1896. Here the Guernseys led all other breeds two to one. The bull Lord Stranford, that had been, shown with such success by Mr. Davison and that had won more prizes than any other animal of the breed that ever lived, met defeat at this show through his son. Sheet Anchor 2934. Rutila's Daughter 6670 was grand champion cow. The Madison Square Garden Show was continued for only two or three years, and the Guernseys were the leading attraction at this show each year. Good shows of Guernseys began to be made at the Wis- consin State Fair as early as 1888, but only two or three herds were shown at the most. Commencing with 1896, four or 206 The Guernsey Breed Rutila's Daughter 6670 — first prize, Madison Square Garden, 1895-96. more herds have been shown practically every year. The awards at the Wisconsin State Fair of 1896 will be of inter- est, since the four herds shown were those best known in the western show rings at that time. Aged bulls: First prize to G. C. Hill & Son on Benjamin 1931 ; second to F. W. Tratt on Lauretta's Squire 3643; third to James H. Beirne on Honorius 3361 ; fourth to G. C. Hill & Son on Count Coral 3507.

At the Trans-Mississippi Exposition held at Omaha in 1898, three herds were entered but only two were exhibited, those of Geo. C. Hill & Son, Rosendale, Wis., and James B. Duke, Somerville, N. J., the former winning most of the first prizes. This show was of course too far west at that time for many attending people to be interested in the dairy cattle. An especially good show was held at the Wisconsin State Fair in 1901. A fine showing was made at the Pan-American Exposition Benjamin 1931, A.

Commencing with the year 1896 to 1898 good showings of the breed began to be made at all the leading state fairs, especially good ones other than those already named being the Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio and New Jersey fairs. At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held at St. Louis in 1904, the Guernsey exhibition was the best ever assembled up to that time. The Breeders' Gazette, commenting on that show, said : It was a display of Guernsey character and quality calculated' to make friends for that popular dairy breed. The exhibit was represen- tative in excellence and numerical standing. It was the superior of anything of the kind that has preceded it in this country. Uni- formity characterized the show. All sections were well filled with uniformly high-class showyard contestants. Only a few sub-standard entries were seen. Considering the number of animals shown, it must pass as a strong compliment that the percentage of inferior ma- terial was so small. It was evident from this admirable exhibit that American breeders of Guernseys are striving for a common type, a common standard" of excellence, a dairy breed of the highest efh- ciency, and it is a pleasure to record this impression. The exhibit revealed in convincing fashion the improvement in form effected in this refined race of dairy stock since the Columbian. It reflected a unity of purpose and aim on the part of the men who are bringing this breed to a splendid state of development and usefulness. It was illustrative of great achievement and rich in promise of future prog- ress. Here some of the best known Guernseys from the East and West were shown, and the first prize bull. Prince Rosendale 4291, The Guernsey Breed 211 Imp. Pride of Home 14447, A.

Many other fine exhibitions of Guernseys were made at the dififerent state fairs east and west and at Brockton, Fram- ingham. and Mt. Kisco in the east, mention of which cannot be included for lack of space.

The first National Dairy Show was held at the Chicago Coliseum, February 15 to 24, 1906. Three herds of Guern- seys were shown, those of M. D. Cunningham, J. G. Hickcox, and Granger Farwell.

The exhibit of Guernseys at the 1914 Dairy Show was better than ever before, and cattle representing 15 herds, from eight different states, were shown. The outbreak of foot and mouth disease that caused the quarantining of the cattle in the show barns was most un- fortunate, but admirers of the breed should be grateful that the cattle there were practically all saved. A few animals were lost, from various causes, the most notable being Jessy Rose 10th. The awards at this show were made by Will Forbes, assistant in Dairy Division, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and were as follows : Bulls, Three Years Old or Over — 1st Imp.

With shows of the size and character of the National Dairy Show it is difficult to secure men who are competent to judge and who will consent to do the work, and some dis- satisfaction is bound to arise. The Guernsey breeders have been very patient, loyal and united with the one purpose of showing the Guernsey to the public in the most winning man- ner possible, whenever opportunity has been presented. The day has gone by when men will attempt to judge as to capac- ity for dairy production between cows in the show ring. Shows are looked upon as splendid opportunities to acquaint new people with the breed, and as a means of securing more uniformity of type in the breed. The exhibit of Guernseys at the Panama-Pacific Exposi- tion at San Francisco was of a very high order of excellence, but would doubtless have been much better if quarantine reg- ulations had not shut out all cattle from east of the Rocky Mountains. The number of Guernseys entered for the show was greater than the entries for any other breed of cattle. The judging was done by Charles L. Hill, of Rosendale, Wis., and the awards were as follows : Bull Three Years Old or Over— 1st Imp. Itchen May King 25174 — Edgemoor Farm, Santee, Cal. 2d Sam Simpson 22809 — D. H.

The Color of Guernsey Milk One of the points of superiority of the Guernsey cow that first attracted the American dairyman to her was the very yellow color of her milk and butter. Practically every early mention of her, whether on the Island or in this coun- try, calls attention to this trait of the breed. Many of these references have been quoted in Chapter II. But there is no reference whatever as to why or how this characteristic be- came fixed. It must have been the result of generations of painstaking breeding on the part of all the early breeders of the Island, but nothing is left to show who first conceived the idea or how concerted action with this thought in view was obtained. I doubt if there is a characteristic of any other breed of livestock so pronounced as this, of which so little is known of its history that might be of great value in the study of the subject of breeding. We must content ourselves with the knowledge that the Guernsey possesses this characteristic and that it is a very much more valuable quality than even the breeders of Guernseys appreciate. In the present day striving for large Advanced Register records and for individual beauty as well, color of product is too often lost sight of; and if any word of advice to breeders of today is worthy of consideration, it is urging them to care- fully conserve and promote this distinctive characteristic of the Guernsey cow. While the artificial coloring of butter is lawful in all of the states of the union and almost universally practiced, the artificial coloring of milk and cream for market purposes is forbidden by law in nearly all, if not all, of the states. Whenever a breeder of Guernseys, whether purebred or grade, starts a milk business in any city and sells milk in com- petition with that of other breeds, if he furnishes a good clean, article, he has at once a demand greater than his supply and at a price 3 to 5c or even more per quart above that secured by his competitors for milk produced with the same care. Instances without number can be given of towns where milk had never sold above 5 or 6c per quart, but where Guernsey milk placed on the market at 10c per quart sold more readily than the other at lower prices. The large dairy companies of the great cities are now scouring the country for Guernsey milk and more especially 242 The Guernsey Breed for Guernsey cream to supply to their customers for table use. Many of the great city hotels now have for table use Guernsey milk and cream either from farms of their own or purchased from the producer. A corporation owning three of the largest hotels in Boston has a farm in, New Hampshire where milk and cream and butter are produced for their hotels ; and in a booklet describing the farm and its products, they say that the Guern- sey milk and cream are reserved for table use on account of their color, while the product of the other breeds is made into butter, since artificial color may be used to bring the color up to the required standard. The best opportunity ever afforded to study the question of the color of the milk and butter of dififerent breeds was that offered by the "model dairy" at the Pan-American Ex- position in Buffalo in 1901. A record of this work is given in this book in the chapter on "Guernseys in Public Tests." C. L. Fitch, now of Greeley, Colo., carried out some very interesting experiments while superintendent of the Hoard creameries at Fort Atkinson, Wis., to determine the amount of color the cow puts into the butter. It is best to let him explain it in his own words : "The cows and the sunshine and the feed put some coloring matter into the butter, and buttermakers add' enough to bring up the total to the most desirable shade of butter in June. "Now, by a simple method it is possible, without separate churn- ings of uncolored butter, to tell what amount of color in terms of the artificial color the cows are supplying. Knowing this amount, the differences can easily be added to any churning to produce any de- sired shade or various shades desired, or uniform color can be ob- tained from the differing natural colored cream. This is what Major Alvord called 'the solution of the butter coloring question.' The natural method is demonstrated by the writer. Natural method butter coloring system. "The apparatus is a hardwood case, having seven half ounces in tin boxes set into holes in the lower half, with a hollow cover carry- ing a label with directions, and the amount of color in each shade sample per 100 pounds. The shades run from pure white in No. 00 The Guernsey Breed 243 to the limit of color depth in No. 6, a deep orange, containing 150 cc. (cubic centimeters) of Wells & Richardson's Improved to 100 pounds of pure white base. This gives us six shades with a common differ- ence of 25 cc. of color per 100 pounds per shade. The inside of the standard case should be enameled white. The samples show better against a white background. Lead paint turns yellow. Zinc white enamel does not. Take a trier sample of yesterday's butter, and pick of? a bit on a knife and run along the shades and find its place. "Suppose it to be winter and it is exactly No. 4, and that 50 cc. of Wells & Richardson's Improved were used. No. 4 contains 100 cc. of color per 100 pound's of white. If 50 cc. were used the cows must have supplied the rest or 50 cc. per hundredweight; or the nat- ural color would be found by actual trial to be No. 2. So no shade lower than No. 2 can be made. There is no practical way to bleach butter. It can be done chemically, by long washing in separators, or by storage, neither of which is practical. No order can be filled' for a lower color than the cream or process stock contains. "But to return. We had No. 2 natural shade, 50 cc. value. To get No. 3 we would add 25 cc. per hundred pounds of butter. An addition of 75 cc. would give us No. 5, etc. This is the whole plan of use. "To obtain uniform color in varying factories of a line of cream- eries figure similarly, and this is the largest usefulness for this method. For several years I have seen butter from seven plants come in daily as like in color by this method as if one churning. Where No. 4 butter is the shade wanted, factory A, where the nat- ural color was running No. 2 or 50 cc, would color at the rate of 50 cc. per hundredweight; and factory B, where feed and breed were different and the natural color was above No. 3, say 85 cc, would use but 15 cc. per hundredweight to have its butter match the standard shade for the line. No really up-to-date maker will color per thousand of milk or gallons of cream, or salt either; the proper basis is always the pounds of butter estimated to be in hand. And cubic centimeter graduates and calculations are far better than ounces and fractions. One ounce equals a little less than 30 cc. "To prepare the standard shades, put away in the absolute dark- ness of a box in a cold storage room that doesn't freeze, or a cellar, several sealed bottles of Wells & Richardson's Improved color. "These bottles will provide standards for years. Next get a box of droppers from your druggist and find one that will drop exactly 50 drops of the color at 60 degrees F. to each cubic centimeter. Each drop of this size equals in 40 grams of material, 25 cc. in 100 pounds of butter. (No. 1 will be one drop; No. 2, two drops, etc., to each 40 grams.) Use pure white mutton stock for the base, and work in a hot room, and have the stock soft, so that it can be worked up with a spatula or thin case knife on a smooth or waxed board. In a line of creameries, two sets of cases can be provided, or a set of cans may be used and the standard boxes refilled at each plant. The shades must be renewed monthly or oftener, and should be kept in a clean, dry place of moderate temperature. Do not smooth the surface of the color boxes; leave as cut off with the edge of the knife. "Mutton stock is made by all large packers, and is largely ex- ported to Holland, where it is used in oleo factories. The packers will make up 200 pounds at a time for about 7c a pound and freight, 244 The Guernsey Breed and we once had such a lot made. This is unnecessary, however, if one can get in touch with the foreman of a packer's oleo oil plant. He will usually have part barrels on hand, and will be glad to get his office to sell you a few pounds. If unable to obtain pure white, use lard in making up a sample or two, and then make an estimate of the color of the stock and reckon accordingly. It will be useless to try any other substance for the standard medium. I believe I have tried butter and rejected it as too soft and apt to melt and so spoil the shades. I have tried white vaseline, lard and lanoline and rejected them as too soft and liable to incorporate so much air in mixing as to make the shade inaccurate. I have used tallows of various kinds and mixtures and beeswax, and rejected them as too hard and too shiny. Paraffin, stearine, ozokerite and other waxes are too translucent or too variable in the way they crystallize, varying thus in white lines and so in color. No printer will promise inks to be permanent enough to pay. Glass prisms such as doctors use in a beautiful little instrument to measure the redness of blood are not within reach, nor made in orange. "Ten cc. per hundredweight of butter is as small a variation as most eyes can detect (one-third ounce of color), so it is no use to vary one way or the other, in making a change, less than 10 cc. per hundredweight. "Salt influences color to the extent of a whole shade or more. Time is a factor in this matter with salted butter. Generally, between butter 24 hours old and fresh salted butter, a half shade will cover the d'iflference. It is well not to use butter the day of churning for color determination. Working against a dry or poorly soaked churn or worker, overworking, or churning very warm, affects the color of butter greatly by incorporating large amounts of air, or sometimes of buttermilk, and should not be done, as it is in every way harmful. "The natural method color measurements made possible some interesting studies along this line, which may be added. In the mid- dle west, the native or Durham mixed cows run up in June to about the same color as did the thoroughbred Jerseys at Burchard farm. Shade three or three and one-half, 75 to 85 cc. per hundredweight of white. The same cows in winter go lower than do the Jerseys. Guernsey cows' butter runs as high naturally as No. 6, and is often too highly colored to be accepted by the buyer as without artificial color. Guernsey butter color is of a different quality also, it is old gold rather than orange, with suggestions of lemon and' orange. No breed can compete with them in rich colored cream and milk. This difference continues throughout the year, as natural color gradually declines during the fall and winter; those cows that gave the highest color in summer keep their lead all the year. The color gets to its lowest point before another pasture season. . "Sunshine, ensilage, light and alfalfa hay do much to maintain color in milk and butter. In Colorado sunshine with Colorado feeds, with Jersey and Guernsey cows, it is never necessary to use artificial butter color to obtain attractive butter. "The following table of churning experiments by the author in Wisconsin in 1899 and 1900 is of interest along these lines, and I be- lieve the color values shown to be typical of the breeds as a whole: The Guernsey Breed 245 Source of Cream Whitney Factory .

The whitest butter is produced' and most artificial color is used in the spring just before sunshine and pastur- age commence, and then the gain in color does not come all at once." Mr. Fitch, in writing me at the time the above Guernsey sample was sent, March 15th, 1900, said: "The color has fallen to 2j/2 on the scale, and this would just suit me, as it is for table use. It is as high a color as could be sold in Manchester, England." In judging of the color of milk, it must be remembered that the color value of Guernseys giving 5 per cent milk would be increased as compared with 3 per cent Holstein milk by the factor of 5/3 over the table color values of butter; whereas for cream of the same richness, the comparative color values would be as stated for butter. Thus Holstein milk might often have less than one-fourth the color of Guernsey milk. James M. Codman, of Brookline, Mass., who visited the Island in 1871, and made an importation at that time, more than any other person has called attention of the breeders to the value of this breed characteristic, and the results ob- 246 The Guernsey Breed tained in his own herd would indicate that this characteristic can be intensified by breeding. The butter from his herd is yellower than that from any herd I have ever seen, with pos- sibly one exception. As this book goes to press, The American Guernsey Cat- tle Club is carrying on some experiments in connection with some experiment stations in an endeavor to determine, if pos- sible, the connection between the color of the animal, as mani- fested by the secretions in the ears, on the end of the tail, on the teats and udder, at nose, and on body generally, and the color of the product, and it is to be hoped that these experi- ments will bring results that will make it possible to still further intensify this breed characteristic. CHAPTER X. The Guernsey in England It is evident from the quotation in Chapter II from Youatt's "Cattle" that the Guernseys have been known and appreciated in England for one hundred years or more; but there was no organization of the English breeders to form a Herd Book until 1885, when The English Guernsey Cattle Society was formed. G. Neville Wyatt was the first secretary, and the first volume of the Herd Book was issued in 1885, in which were registered 306 females and 74 bulls. An examination of the entries of this first volume shows that Cowslip 60 was the oldest cow registered, being dropped in the year 1869. Her sire and dam were imported from Guernsey. She was bred in England by Lord Falmouth. But I find that the cow Cissus I 50, bred August 10, 1877, goes back four generations on her dam's side, as her pedigree indicates, and two on her sire's side, so that this would indi- cate that some of the foundation stock had been imported much earlier. From the preface of the first volume of the Herd Book, it is quite evident that the English breeder was not only plan- ning to preserve the purity of the breed for his own satisfac- tion but also that he might capture a portion of the American trade. This is evidenced by the following quotation : "It is clear that American buyers, for instance, cannot afford to incur the expenses and run the risks of carrying cattle across the Atlantic unless they are in a position to obtain very high prices indeed at the end of the voyage. And it is equally clear that those high prices will only be forth- coming for animals whose purity of origin is demonstrable. Certainty of pedigree must come in support of the promise of intrinsic value, and this combination once achieved there is no reason whatever why English Guernsey blood should not become as fashionable as that of the best known Island herds. Indeed, it is possible that foreign buyers may event- ually prefer our cattle, for there is a growing opinion, prob- ably well founded, of their superior hardiness." Rule five of their Society was : "No animal shall be eligible for the English Guernsey Herd Book that cannot trace back its pedigree on both sire's and dam's sides to imported stock." To them this rule evi- dently meant animals from any one of the Islands, and while 248 The Guernsey Breed I do not find any animal in Volume I that is given as Alder- ney bred, they very early accepted animals from Alderney. Because of this fact, they very early had the advantage of the American buyer, who could not buy the Alderney-bred cattle either on that island or in Guernsey. The Guernsey has apparently never been as popular in England as the Jersey, but it is evident from the number of animals imported and recorded in recent years that the interest is steadily increas- ing, which is to be expected because the hopes expressed in the preface have been realized in the last few years. Many Guernseys have been brought to the United States from Eng- land, some of them Island bred but many of them English bred. '> ,' ,<« Felois 4436, E. G. H. B.— 1st prize, English Royal Show, 1909. The Society early began to offer special prizes at the English Royal, Bath and West of England, Royal Counties, Tunbridge Wells and other shows of Great Britain, and have published in their Herd Book lists of the prizes won at these shows. While but little private testing is done in England, the following statement, written in 1886 by Sir John F, Lennard, The Guernsey Breed 249 Group of GiKinscys owned by John C.

Bart., would indicate that some breeders took a keen interest in the dairy production of their cows, and persons who know Mr. Lennard state that he always had an enthusiastic inter- est in his herd. "I may say that all the cows and heifers I have are descended from one cow imported by Mr. Fowler of Bushey, which I bought in 1870, Lady No. 1, No. 170 English Guern- sey Herd Book. "She was a regular breeder; her milk varied from six- teen to eighteen quarts a day, which produced from 2 pounds to 2 pounds 9 ounces of butter, according to the season."

The present Sir Henry Lennard is very much interested in his herd, which is composed largely of the descendants of this same Lady family. J. Boyd Kinnear, M. P., for years maintained a very choice herd at Collessie, Scotland, and he published the fol- lowing report of the milk yield of his herd for the years 1895, 1896 and 1897: 1895 1896 1897 Name of cow Pounds Pounds Pounds Violet XXII 7,710 5,770 11,020 Violet XXIV 6,200 6,620 8,580 Fleur de Lis III 7,750 7,520 7,530 Cowslip III 7,030 6,840 6,460 Lilac 8,360 8,930 9,040 Nerine III 7,710 6,970 7,950 Flora III 4,670 7,180 8,100 The English breeders have persistently entered their cattle in the milking trials at the annual shows, and up to 1912 this, with their prize winning, had been the only means of judging of the character of their animals. In 1912 they adoptecl the following set of rules governing their tests for yearly milk and fat records, which rules are much like those adopted for the Advanced Register in the United States. The same requirements for admission prevail, but Rule 6 provides that "No record can be accepted unless the cow is safely in calf within five months from the date the record commenced." 1. Any animal the property of a member of the English Guern- sey Cattle Society entered in their Herd' Book is eligible for the test. 2. The record, which is to be for a lactation period not exceeding 365 days, shall consist of a daily record of milk production to be kept by the owner on a form supplied by the Secretary of the Society, which shall be checked at least every two months during the lacta- tion period by the Ofificial Inspector of the Society, who shall at each visit take a sample of each animal's milk and test the same for butter- fat by the Gerber Tester. 3. The cows shall be milked the same number of times on the day of the test as they have been previously, but the number of milk- ings must not exceed three. 4. All cows must have calved at least seven days before the commencement of the test or record. No allowance can be made for milk taken by suckling calves after that period. 5. The records may commence at any time, but notice must be The Guernsey Breed 2fl given to the Secretary within seven days after the record has com- menced, to give due time for the arrangement of the Inspector's visit. 6. No record can be accepted unless the cow is safely in calf within five months from the date of the record commenced. 7. Should the owner or the Inspector be dissatisfied with the milk record or butterfat test at the time of the Inspector's visit, an extra visit may be made at the owner's expense. 8. The Inspector shall not be required to give more than one day's notice of his visit. 9. In order to place heifers and' young cows on an equal basis with mature cows, an animal commencing her record at two years old or under shall be required to produce within the lactation period 6,000 pounds of milk or 250.5 pound's of butterfat. For each day the animal is over two years 3.65 pounds of milk and one-tenth of a pound of butterfat shall be added; this ratio to continue until the animal is 5 years old, when the required amount will have reached 10,000 pounds of milk or 360 pounds of butterfat. 10. All cows must be in view of the Inspector when being milked, and not more than ten cows shall be tested from one herd in one day. 11. The owner will be required to pay half the expenses of each visit, the moiety due to the Society will be collected by the Secre- tary after the third visit of the Inspector. 12. Should any questions or dispute arise not provided for in the foregoing rules, the decision of the Sub-Committee shall be final. It is seen that the owner keeps daily milk records as with the American test, but according to Rule 2 an inspector must visit the farm at least every two months, while monthly visits are required in the case of American records.

Gem, the dam of Sapphire, when 9 years old, gave 9,686 pounds milk in 337 days, but with her next calf she gave 4,557 pounds milk in 204 days. She never produced but the one heifer calf, and she probably carried some Jersey blood as well as Shorthorn. 262 The Guernsey Breed Mignonette 7th 114 ("Australian Guernsey Herd Book) and La Colombe 3d 92 (Australian Guernsey Herd Book).

The summary goes on to say that, as far as the records go, the Guernsey has produced the best results of all the dairy breeds used in the crosses. More work has been done with the Guernsey than with the other breeds but some work was done with all four of the leading dairy breeds. Recently some semi-official yearly testing has been done in Australia with the following results : Certificated Cows, Tested under the Herd Testing Scheme of the United Breeders' Purebred Dairy Cattle Association of New South Wales.

I tried to get a few pictures of prize Guernseys in Aus- tralia but the war censor held them up. Treng-wainton Acorn 62, A., that was champion in 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, a son of the great English show cow, Hayes Olive, is particularly choice. It would seem that if better transportation facilities to Australia were available, American breeders might expect to find a very good market for Guernseys there. CHAPTER XII. The Guernsey Grade Cow There is in every city a constantly increasing demand for high-class milk, and by this is meant milk that combines clean- liness, yellow color, and high content of fat and total solids. This demand is apart from the demand for certified milk, which depends almost entirely upon its cleanliness for its market. There are now hundreds of cities in this country where first grade milk is selling for eight, 10 and even 12c per quart, and produced under conditions that are no better than ought to prevail on every dairy farm. A large part of the milk that sells for these prices is produced by herds of purebred or grade Guernsey cows. While the number of herds of purebred Guernseys is con- stantly increasing, it will be a century or more before the number of purebred animals can have increased sufiiciently to fill the demand for cows for this use, and it will be in- finitely longer before this will be done. The bulk of the farmers who desire an efficient cow must therefore depend on the grade Guernsey to get her. The leading characteristics of the Guernsey grade are, of course, essentially the same as of her full-blood sister. She is first of all unusually quiet and gentle and therefore less ex- cited by strangers or strange conditions than a more nervous cow. This point is worthy of more attention than it usually receives. She is quite invariably an easy milker, having al- most ideal teats. She is of a size (weighing 1,000 to 1,200 pounds) that at once appeals to the dairyman ; and while of much less importance than her other characteristics, still she is universally liked on account of her size. The Guernsey has so often proved herself the most eco- nomical producer of butterfat that it seems unnecessary to write upon this point, but if prospective dairymen who are debating which breed to select would study this point of eco- nomical production as much as it deserves, they would turn to the Guernsey in even greater numbers than at present. In the hurry to get a big production of milk its quality and cost of production are too often overlooked. The grade Guernsey cow will test for the year 3.5 to 5.5 per cent, varying, of course, with different individuals, and it is safe to say that her milk The Guernsey Breed 265 will averag-e 4.5 per cent butterfat, taking the yearly average of different herds. The official yearly records of over 4,500 purebred Guern- sey cows show that the milk averages about 5 per cent butter- fat; and as the Guernsey grades of the country are largely of Shorthorn, Jersey, or native foundation the estimate of 4.5 per cent is likely below rather than above their average. This would indicate a total solid content of about 14 per cent, milk plenty rich enough for ordinary use and very much superior in quality to ordinary milk. But the most convincing arguments in favor of the Guernseys are the comments of those who have had her in their dairies. Thomas Ellis, Marquette, Wisconsin, writing under date of February 22, 1910, said : "The Guernseys have been very satisfactory with me; we milked 11 last year, four of them being but two-year-olds, and they averaged us $117.24 each. They are doing far better than any other cows in this com- munity, and a number of the farmers are getting interested, and would change to Guernsey if they could buy. I regret now that I did not begin with them at an earlier date. I re- ceived $106.46 from our local creamery in January, 1910, for the milk of eight cows." M. L. Welles, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, whose herd was in 1909 about half purebreds and half grades, tells me that from his herd of cows averaging thirty-nine and one-half in number for the year he received $4,109 for a year's cream de- livered at the railroad station, a very profitable return for so large a herd. The following is from a little circular, "Just a Little His- tory," issued by Lloyd Rundell, Roberts, Wisconsin. "The first purebred Guernsey bull calf born on the World's Fair grounds in Chicago in 1893 was bought by A. E. Rundell, of Livingston, Wisconsin. Nor was this his first purebred Guern- sey bull. He had decided to go into the dairy business, and it did not take him long to get on the 'main track.' He had built a 150-ton silo in 1892, and had owned a Babcock tester for several years. He installed the King system of ventila- tion in his barn in 1894. "During the winter of 1888 his herd of grade Shorthorns averaged one-half pound of butter per day. They were of the 'dual purpose' variety — the 'Jim' Hill type, the Shaw kind — good for his children to learn to milk by, and if they happened to 'go wrong' were worth from 2^ to 3c a pound for beef. He realized that it would be slow business to grade 266 The Guernsey Breed up from these, so bought all the high-grade Jersey heifer calves he could find. There were no Guernsey grades to be had. "In a few years the herd averaged 392 pounds of butter- fat. During the months of December and January, the last winter the grades were kept, the herd of 26 cows averaged 47 pounds of butterfat per month. "About this time he decided to go into purebreds. The grade Guernseys were sold for $120 per head. There were several grade Jerseys that were just as good producers as the grade Guernseys, but had to be sold for $71 per head." The individual records of some grade Guernsey cows may be of interest. Elizabeth A., a grade sired by Coralman 3193, was dropped in. May, 1895, and dropped her calf in 1897. Her record for eleven years was as follows : Year Pounds milk Pounds butter 1897 S,687 268 1898 7,750 400 1899 9,775 479 1900 9,400 504 1901 10,396 520 1902 9,713 554 1903 9,719 531 1904 10,247 571 1905 7,927 378 1906 9,740 539 1907 Totals 8,032 98,377 400 5,145 Averages . . 8,943 467.7 These records are from January to January. One year she calved in September and did not drop another calf for a year and a half, and in 12 months she gave over 12,000 pounds of milk and 605 pounds of butterfat, equal to 705 pounds of butter. She was owned by H. D. Griswold, La Crosse, Wis- consin. Mr. Griswold has had many grade Guernsey cows make over 500 pounds of butter per year, and many years the return from the creamery has been well over $100 per cow. The Jackson Farmers' Club of Duluth, Minnesota, in the spring of 1913 organized what they called a Grade Guernsey Production Register. In this association records made in reg- ularly organized cow testing associations are recognized, and no animal is admitted to the registry that has not completed a record of at least 200 pounds of butterfat in a year. The progeny of admitted cows, sired by purebred Guernsey bulls, are eligible to record, also any heifer sired by a bull whose dam has recorded 300 pounds of fat or more. The registry is to be carried on in the same manner as that of purebred rec- ord associations and the initials G. P. R., standing for Guern- The Guernsey Breed 267 Grade Guernsey cow Bessie — yearly record, 659.3 pounds butterfat. sey Production Register, shall be prefixed to the registry num- ber, followed by F. S., standing for Foundation Stock, if cow is admitted on record alone. In all work connected with a registry of grades, the diffi- culty is to get owners to test their grade cows under condi- tions that would make such a register reliable and therefore possible, but without doubt great good will result when it be- comes established on a working basis. Some breeders of pure- bred cattle fear that bred-for-production grades might restrict the demand for purebreds, on account of lower prices. There appears to be little danger of this unless the grades should prove themselves better producers than the purebreds, which is scarcely possible. For economical production of butterfat or for the highest class of market milk, the Guernsey grade is the ideal cow for the average dairyman. The demand for grade Guernsey cows far exceeds the supply, and I have known many of them to sell in every part of the United States the last year or two up to $150 each, and sfeveral for from $200 to $250. I have also seen $50 refused for grade Guernsey calves six months old, and yearling heifers frequently sell for $75 each by the carload. The grades of no other breed create such demand or bring such prices as the grade Guernsey, and this promises to be true for years to come. 268 The Guernsey Breed Will Treleven, of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, recently re- fused $500 for five grade heifers all under 10 months of age. The best evidence of the productive capacity of the grade Guernsey cow is that furnished by the Wisconsin Dairy Cow Competition. While these records have been published both in a bulletin of the Wisconsin Experiment Station and in the Beauty — a grade Guernsey. Yearly record, 466.5 pounds butterfat. Guernsey Breeders' Journal, still the reader may not have them in a convenient form for reference. The results from Guern- sey grades in that contest were as follows : Records of Guernsey Grades in the Wisconsin Dairy Cow Competition, 1909-11.

This is more than double the average annual production of the cows of any state in the union, and may be taken as an indication of what may be expected from the use of a purebred Guernsey bull in a herd of grade or common cows. The largest record of the twenty-three was made by the half-blood cow Jerry, owned by A. N. Schmit, Appleton, Wis- consin. She was bred by Charles Breitrick of the same place, and was sired by King of Ellington 11096, a bull of Mr. Breitrick's own breeding. She was 10 years old at the time of the test. Her record for the year was as follows : 270 The Guernsey Breed Yearly Record of Grade Guernsey Cow Jerry.

Her feed for the year consisted of 1,191 pounds of Ajax flakes, 639 pounds wheat bran, 80 pounds gluten feed, 253 pounds ground oats, 682 pounds corn meal, 960 pounds soil- ing crops, 8,332 pounds corn silage, 1,374 pounds alfalfa hay, 164 pounds oil meal, 704 pounds ground barley, 604 pounds mixed hay, 1,191 pounds Unicorn dairy ration, 750 pounds beets, 20 pounds peas, 53 pounds corn stover. At market prices this food w^as worth $99.20, a feed in- vestment that would scare many if not most dairymen, but think of the net returns at Wisconsin creamery prices for fat - — $130.35 for fat alone above cost of the feed. The largest records made in this competition by grades of other breeds were : Pounds Pounds Net milk fat profit Holstein 20,541 644.4 $97.48 Jersey 9,889 554 96.47 At least three other grade Guernseys made a larger net profit than the best grade of any of the breeds.

These figures ought to prove to any dairyman that the grade Guernsey is pre-eminently the cow for the man whose cows must pay for their living and for his also. A great deal of discussion has been carried on both through the press and in breeders' meetings in recent years The Guernsey Breed 271 relative to the establishment of a register for Guernsey grade cows, with hopes of encouraging breeding along lines of pro- duction shown by the work of such cows as those that took part in the Wisconsin dairy cow demonstration. The Ameri- can Guernsey Cattle Club, at the annual meeting held in May, 1913, considered the proposition of recognizing in some way such records and passed the following rules: List of Meritorious Grade Guernsey Cows. "1. Every animal eligible to publication in this list must be sired by a registered Guernsey bull. "The owner must send signed statement certifying to the name and register number of the Guernsey bull who is the sire of the grade Guernsey cow submitted for entry in this list. "Such statement shall also include the age, description and sketch markings of the animal offered and shall be on blanks prepared by The American Guernsey Cattle Club. "When such statement is filed' with The American Guernsey Cattle Club, the cows thus described shall be tested in a similar manner to the cows for the Advanced Register. "2. The records must be supervised and authenticated by state agricultural experiment stations or colleges, and made under con- ditions substantially similar to those in effect in the Advanced Reg- ister of Guernsey cattle. "3. Records made in regularly authorized cow testing associa- tions may be accepted, with the approval of the Advanced Registry committee, where they are recognized by an agricultural experiment station. "4. The requirements shall correspond in all respects to those in effect in the Advanced Register regarding the amount of butterfat. "If a record is commenced the day the animal is two years old, or previous to that day, she must produce within one year from that date 250.5 pounds butterfat. For each day the animal is over two years old at the beginning of her year's record, the amount of butter- fat she will be required to produce in the year will be established by adding .1 (one-tenth) of a pound for each such day, to the 250.5 pounds required when two years old. This ratio is applicable until the animal is five years old, when the required amount will have reached 360 pounds which will be the amount of butterfat required of all cows five years old or over. These yearly standards are based upon one complete year's record from the time of beginning, regard- less of the time lost by being dry or calving during that period, should such be the case. "5. All expense in connection with the supervision of the test shall be borne by the owner of the cow, and there will be no charge by The American Guernsey Cattle Club for the entry and publication of such record, after same has been approved. "6. That the list shall be under the general supervision and di- rection of the executive committee, who shall have power to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the ob- ject of this resolution." 272 The Guernsey Breed Up to this date very few cows have been entered under these rules, but it is to be hoped that this work can be com- bined with that of the cow testing associations and the merit of the grade Guernsey be demonstrated to an even greater extent than it has been up to this time. Guernsey grade herds under test in different cow testing associations are in ahnost every instance leading all other grade herds in yearly butterfat production and profit. The following figures showing the results of the East La Crosse County Cow Testing Association, published June 12, 1914, will be of interest: The East La Crosse County Cow Testing Association has com- pleted a year's testing. Many cows have proved themselves worthy of attention, and the testing, by disclosing the poor cows, has helped to take the curse off others of the same herd. The five herds in the test association having the best production records for the year are as folows: 1. Elmer Smith, 7 grade Guernsey cows — average production, 341.1 pounds butterfat. 2. Joseph Jones, 12 grade Guernsey cows — average production, 324.5 pounds butterfat. 3. E. D. INIiller, 18 grade Guernsey cows — average production, 316.8 pounds butterfat. 4. Sherman Dudley, 22 grade and purebred Guernsey cows — average production, 301.5 pounds butterfat. 5. Alfred E. White, 25 grade Guernsey and Durham cows — average production, 296.6 pounds butterfat. The cow having the highest butterfat production for the year is owned by Sherman Dudley. She produced 433.2 pounds of butterfat from 9,507 pounds milk, and returned $3.40 for every dollar expended for feed. The most economical producer is owned by H. D. Lovejoy. This cow returned $4.66 for every dollar's worth of feed consumed, pro- ducing 415 pounds butterfat from 9,204 pounds of milk. Mr. Lovejoy also has another cow that returned $4 for each dollar's worth of feed, producing 342 pounds of butterfat from 6,683 pounds of milk. Victor Stiehl, of Albert Lea, Minnesota, has for several years led all cow testing associations with his grade Guern- seys. The tester in charge of the cow testing association at Scandinavia, Wisconsin, reported that 72 cows under test in that association produced during the month of May, 1914, over 40 pounds fat each, a large proportion of the cows being grade Guernseys. The best cow made over 82 pounds fat and was, of course, a Guernsey grade. The figures published in June, 1914, of the work of the cows at Island Farm, Island, Minnesota, owned by H. M. Hartley, of Duluth, are instructive. The following extract The Guernsey Breed 273 from the published report brings out another enviable record for the grade Guernsey. The herd is composed, in the main, of purebred and grade Guern- seys, but includes 16 purebred Holstein-Friesian cattle. These are all housed in the big 200-foot barn in which stand 152 head in steel and concrete stalls. Following are the averages in milk production, stated in pounds, roughly speaking, a pint to the pound. Grade Guernsey cow Polander. Yearly record, 16,286.1 pounds milk; 844.8 pounds butterfat. Owned by Montana State College of Agriculture. Average milk production for the year just closed, including in every case every animal having completed a year's work, from first calf heifers to aged cows : Purebred Guernseys (all records official) 8,919.25 pounds Grade Guernseys 7,354.59 pounds Grand average entire purebred and grade Guernsey herd.. 8,018.38 pounds Purebred Holstein-Friesiang 10,418.22 pounds Grand average entire milking herd 8,486.64 pounds It was only a few years ago that a 5,000-pound cow was a reason- ably high mark to pull for in this section, but the Island farm now shows a grand herd average 3,486.64 pounds above that mark. During the last year only two animals in the herd have made less than 6,000 pounds of milk, the records of these two being, respec- tively, 5,756.2 and 5,007.3 pounds. One of the farm's grade Guernseys, Lady Jane, made last year over seven tons of milk, to be exact 14,269.1 pounds, testing 4.32 per cent butterfat, yielding a total of 616.43 pounds butterfat or the 274 The Guernsey Breed equivalent of 744.71 pounds of commercial butter, more than two pounds of butter per day for 365 consecutive days. These results have ben made possible by the most careful selec- tion of foundation stock, and the use during the last 10 years of only purebred herd sires of note, backed by great production records. The record of the grade Guernsey cow, Polander, made at the Montana Agricultural College, is worthy of particular note. Regarding the above grade cow, Prof. G. L. Martin of the Montana State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts located at Bozeman, Montana writes : "This cow is one we purchased from a shipment that came from Minnesota so we do not know anything about her breeding, but we know she has been a wonderful cow. She made good records from 1908 to 1911, Init she freshened in April, 1911, and continued in milk nearly three years before she freshened again. We have her records for the first two years. The first year after freshen- ing she made in 365 days the following record : 16,286.1 pounds of milk and 844.8 pounds of butter-fat. She freshened again in July, 1915, and this is her picture when she freshened the last time. In the past six months she has made the following- records : Pounds Pounds milk fat August 1,815.1 87.76 September 1,662.0- 82.37 October 1,461.5 71.25 November 1,327.1 70.55 December 1,118.1 57.63 January 1,085.9 66.07 Total 8,469.7 435.63 "We are not expecting such a high record from the cow this time but, if she continues the way she is starting out, she promises to make a very fair record for this year. I will be glad to furnish further information relative to this cow at any time." Another good record made by a Guernsey cow is that of a cow owned by C. J. Hinds, of Springfield. N. Y. She was seven-eighths Guernsey and produced \n a year 13,388 pounds milk and 753.4 pounds butterfat. Not all dairymen can become breeders of purebreds, which is self-evident from the limited supply; but every farmer with a herd of good cows, whether native or grades of some other breed, can in five or six years' time breed a herd of grade Guernseys that will not only yield profitable creamery returns, but also a large revenue through the sale of surplus stock. CHAPTER XIII. Feeding and Care of Cows for Record Making It has seemed wise to me to have a chapter in this History of the Guernsey Breed on the feeding- and care of cows for making records, and I asked R. G. Murphy, who was for five years in charge of the Anna Dean Farm; at Barberton, Ohio, to write such a chapter. Mr. Murphy was very reluctant to do this, but finally, in co-operation with Carl Gockerell, who was responsible with Mr. Murphy for the records made at the Anna Dean Farm, they prepared the following. The large number of large records made at the Anna Dean Farm attests the fact that they know what they are talking about. In discussing the subject of the feeding and care of the Guernsey cow one may properly begin with the feeding and care of the dam of the unborn calf. Brief mention is made here of the importance of know- ing that not only the general health of the cow is good at the time of conception but that the generative organs are in a healthy condition. The cow having been bred she should have an abundance of feed of a kind that will stimulate a large and persistent milk flow, as it is believed that the tendency toward large production at the pail may be strengthened, in the case of the embryo calf, by proper feeding of the dam during her period of gestation. Feed the pregnant cow, therefore, in such a manner as will induce a large and persistent milk flow during her entire period of lactation. She should be kept in full, though not in- creasing, flesh until the time arrives when she should be turned dry preparatory to next freshening. While dry she should be fed such an amount of feed as will bring her to a high degree of flesh by a week before the date of birth of the calf. Cows very frequently accept the service of the bull several weeks, even, after they are in calf, and this leads to confusion as to the date when she may calve. In a case of this kind and where the cow has not been turned dry in time, give her sullficient feed to meet the requirements of the unborn calf and also to keep up her milk flow. Experience shows this to 276 The Guernsey Breed be a better practice than an attempt to force the cow dry by- partial starvation or the use of feed stuffs unsuited for milk production. Not only will the cow produce more heavily when she again freshens, but the calf will be stronger and more vigorous at birth. For the dry cow, feeds rich in protein and bone-forming material are required. While feed stuffs rich in carbon will produce as high a degree of flesh and at a lower cost than will the proteins, yet the resulting feverish condition of the cow and the weak condition of the calf make their use during this time undesirable. The following mixture, in addition to hay and silage, is advised : three parts wheat bran, two parts ground oats, one part hominy meal or corn meal, one part oil meal (old process) and three parts "Ajax" flakes or corn 3 D grains. The use of gluten feeds is to be avoided at this time on account of their tendency to cause udder troubles. Wher- ever obtainable, fresh roots should form part of the daily ra- tion. Failing to secure them, one may resort to beet pulp, either fresh or the dried pulp soaked in water. The proper use of either will overcome the tendency toward constipation and fever natural to the dry cow, especially during the winter season. Molasses is especially good for adding flesh rapidly and also acts as a mild laxative. As soon as the cow's udder begins to show a feverish con- dition, change the feed to two parts wheat bran, two parts ground oats, and one part oil meal, and contmue the use of roots or dried beet pulp. No cow should receive over five pounds daily of grain during the week preceding freshening. If a tendency toward constipation exists, give daily a mod- erate physic, using one and one-half to two pounds of glauber salts to which one teaspoonful of hyposulphite of soda has been added. It is assumed that a record of the service date has been kept, and knowing the date of expected freshening the care- taker should be on hand to render the cow any necessary aid. A wrong presentation or an especially large calf will make assistance necessary. In the case of prolonged labor or scant secretion, inject into the vagina a pint of raw linseed oil. This will be found a great aid toward quick delivery. During the first week following freshening continue the use of the same feed mixture as advocated for the week pre- ceding calving. To aid in an early expulsion of the placenta the feed should be steamed for two hours before feeding and slightly warmed water should be placed at her disposal. The The Guernsey Breed 277 use of cold water at this time may result in retention of the afterbirth. Bring the cow to full feed gradually. Begin with about 10 pounds of silage per day in addition to all the good hay she wants. To this add not to exceed four to five pounds of grain daily, and increase at the rate of two-tenths to three- tenths of a pound per day until she is on full feed, which will be at the end of four to five weeks. On account of too heavy grain feeding soon after freshening a large number of cows fail to show the best work of which they are capable. The fat accumulated while the cow is dry carries her over the first few weeks following freshening in fine condition without the addition of much grain to the ration. If the cow is to be entered for a yearly record it is a matter of the utmost importance that she be supplied with hay of the very best quality obtainable, if the best results are desired. The hay should be soft, full of leaves, fine of stem, and cured without having been wet. Where hay has been exposed to one moderate rain a very large proportion of the most digestible part of its constituents is lost. The second cutting of alfalfa is much to be preferred to any other form of roughage. Good hay is the most important part of the ration. No grain, of any kind or in any amount in the absence of good hay will cause the cow to produce the best results at the pail. Far too little importance is made of this point by the average writer or feeder. Experience has shown time after time the importance of this part of the ration, and it is desired here to make this point especially emphatic. Feed hay often and in small amounts, only so much at a time as the cow will consume and with evident relish. From hay of good quality the cow not only secures a large amount of nutriment but on account of its palatability she is induced to eat a relatively large amount of it. This when mixed with the grain in the stomach forms a loose, porous mass through which the digestive juices pass readily. Again the relatively large proportion of roughage in the stomach makes the raising and rechewing of the food necessary, resulting in a large flow of saliva, so essential in the process of digestion. The silage should be made from well-matured corn rich in grain. In the case of both silage and hay it is not only positively useless but actually a hindrance to good work when the cow is required to work over a large mass of ma- terial lacking in nutriment. The use of roots is especially advised for the large pro- 278 The Guernsey Breed ducer. They are valuable not so much on account of the nutriments they contain as on account of their good efifect on the digestive tract and as an aid in maintaining a keen appe- tite. In the absence of roots fresh beet pulp or dried pulp may be substituted. The latter should be soaked with water for 12 hours before feeding. Should the cow show a too rapid loss of flesh, finely ground corn meal may be substituted for part of the grain allowance (the amount to be determined by the condition of the cow), to which may be added up to three pints daily of molasses. In planning the grain ration, the recognized feeding standards are to be used merely as a guide, which is all that is claimed for them. Especially in the case of the large pro- ducers, a ration conforming to a certain feeding standard may be well suited to the requirements of one cow and be utterly unsuited to another of a different temperament. The feeder can determine only by experience the grain mixture on which the individual cow will yield the maximum results at the pail. Having a variety of grains at his disposal, the feeder's problem of determining the best grain mixture for each cow is greatly simplified, and the chances of the cow's tiring of her feed are greatly reduced. Prices and availability of foodstufifs vary to such an ex- tent in different parts of the country that it is useless to sug- gest here any certain grain mixture. Good grain mixtures may be composed from so many dififerent foodstuffs and in such a variety of proportions that it makes but little differ- ence what grains are used so long as bulkiness, comparative freedom from indigestible fiber, and palatability are secured in the ration. The matter of palatability is important since upon it depends the amount which the cow will eat with a relish. The milk flow can be materially increased by wetting the feed. In securing the best results it is very important that par- ticular attention be paid to keeping up a heavy and persistent milk flow. Nothing can be fed that will influence the percent- age of fat in the milk, and it is only by securing a large milk production that great records can be made. For the successful making of a large record quite as much depends upon the man who milks the cow as upon the man who feeds her. By proper manipulation of the udder the skill- ful milker can induce the cow to produce the last ounce of milk of which she is capable and also to maintain a persistent The Guernsey Breed 279 flow throughout her period of lactation. In a herd in which there are several milkers, each of which is apparently equally skillful, it may be found by experiment that a certain cow will produce more for one milker than for another. This refers to the percentage of fat in the milk rather than to the quantity of milk. The difiference may probably be best explained by the fact that the cow has a greater fondness for one of the men than for the other. It is a safe statement to make that, in the case of every cow that has made a large record, she was much attached to the man or men who milked and fed her. The milk production of practically any Guernsey cow that has been confined in a stanchion and is producing 40 pounds or above of milk per day can be increased by from two to three pounds daily by giving her the liberty of a box stall. This is especially true in the case of the large, heavy cow, and also in winter when the cow gets but little exercise. Intelligent and persistent efifort, the habit of close ob- servation, and a natural love for the-business are the human qualities most essential to the largest measure of success. R. G. Murphy. CHAPTER XIV. Guernsey Families I have frequently, in public addresses and in articles I have written, bemoaned the fact that there were so few Guern- sey families and so little effort being made to found families of the breed. With more careful study of the families of the breed and of the conditions concerning families in other breeds, I have come to believe that one of the factors that is doing the most to develop the Guernsey breed at this time is the fact that a good animal of the Guernsey breed is more largely sought after, regardless of its breeding, than good ani- mals of almost any other breed. This, I am sure, is an element of strength. While there are many people advertising animals of this or that family for sale, they frequently carry less than 10 per cent of the blood of the family claimed, and very often much less than that. While some breeders are carefully line-breed- ing some families with most excellent results, the bulk of the breeders are now after good ones, regardless of their breeding. In going over the list of class leaders, as given in the Journal for May, 1916, I think one would be surprised to see how few of the bulls that have been known as great show bulls or bulls of a particular line of breeding, and have, there- fore become famous, have sired any of the class leaders. To illustrate this point, I have taken what are probably 20 of the best known bulls of the breed, and this list is as follows: Governor of the Chene, Masher's Sequel, Benjamin, Lily's Bonny Boy, Yeksa's Prince, Prince Rosendale, Guernsey Champion, Sheet Anchor, Yeoman, King of the May, Lord Mar, Coralette's Son, France's Masher II, Mainstay, Golden Secret, May Rose King, Galaxy's Sequel, Glenwood Boy of Haddon, Golden Noble II, Raymond of the Preel. Of this number, only four have sired animals that are in the class-leader list. These are Yeoman, that sired Dolly Dimple, that appears three times in the list ; King of the May, that sired Langwater Hope, Langwater Princess and Lang- water Dorothy; Golden Noble II, that sired Princess of the Blicqs and Selby ; and Glenwood Boy of Haddon, that sired Dairymaid of Pinehurst, that appears twice in this list. What are perhaps the most-talked-of bulls of the breed are Masher's Sequel, Governor of the Chene, Prince Rosen- The Guernsey Breed 281 dale and Lord Mar, that do not have a single one in the class leaders. I realize that so many other things enter in that it is difficult to judge which would be really great sires. For in- stance, Masher's Sequel, while he does not have a daughter among the class leaders, and has never sired a single cow with a record of over 700 pounds fat, nevertheless has 63 daughters in the Advanced Register out of a total of 79 reg- istered, while some other bulls that have had an unusually good chance, both in the character of the cows they were used on and the opportunities of their daughters, have proven to be poor sires, when judged by the production of their daugh- ters, even though they may have one daughter among the class leaders. I shall, in the following tables, attempt to classify some of the A. R. cows of the breed as descendants of certain ani- mals to which we give the names of families. Oftentimes it will be found, however, that the animal that is given as a descendant of Glenwood Girl or May Rose, or any other fam- ily, may actually have considerably more blood of several little-known families. I have arranged these families (if we may call them such) alphabetically, to avoid any suspicion of favoritism. These tables do not purport to be a complete list of all the Advanced Register descendants, because bulls that have but a single Advanced Register daughter are omit- ted, but all are equally complete. I include, also, the descend- ants of some individual cows, which while they cannot be said to have founded families, have yet proven themselves progen- itors of large numbers of A. R. animals. These tables will make it possible to trace the relationship of very many animals of the breed. These lists will include the records of some cows that have been completed, but to which A. R. numbers have not yet been assigned, and, in some cases, the records may be subject to very slight revision before final publication. In these tables each generation, one further removed from the original ancestor, is placed three points further to the right in the table ; as an example, in the first table, showing the descendants of Bonny Lassie of Fernwood, Sweet Marie is a daughter of Murne Cowan, she being a daughter of Fan- tasia's Jeweler, he a son of Lily Ella's Jeweler, he a son, of Lily Ella, and she a daughter of Lily's Bonny Boy, which would place Sweet Marie 15 points to the right of Lily's Bonny Boy, or five generations, and this is as far as I have deemed wise to attempt to carry the tables. 282 The Guernsey Breed Imported Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood 1485. Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood 1485, A. G. C. C, was No. 1181 G. H, B. on Guernsey, was bred by D. O. Le Patourel, and was dropped January 14, 1883. Her tabulated pedigree will be of interest as show- ing how strong she was in the blood of the bull, Vauquiedor 40, F. S., that won first prize over the Island in 1867 and 1868. lassie of Fernwood 14.*^"- W.* iSftis'*, .-%J>rs Her dam, Bonnie Lassie 1, was said by her Island owner, D. O. Le Patourel, to be "the best cow he ever owned," and is credited with being a 25-quart cow. Her son, Excelsior VII, a full brother of Bon- nie Lassie of Fernwood, sired Belle of the Hill II 3656, with a milk record of 6,239^ pounds in the Ellerslie herd; and her sons, Bonnie Laddie 468, P. S., and' Bonnie Laddie II 630, P. S., were used quite largely on the Island, the former siring many good cows, among them Honoria IV 5989, A. G. C. €., with a record of 9,589 pounds milk and 455.87 pounds fat in the Florham herd. Bonnie Lassie of Fernwood was imported' to Boston in Septem- ber, 1883, by L. 'W. Ledyard, and shortly after sold to 'Wm. Paul, Moorestown, N. J. Her first calf, Bonny Boy 1097, was dropped April 27, 1885, and it is through this son that most of the fame of the family has come. She proved to be an exceptionally good milker and' milked 16 quarts per day when fresh, testing 25 per cent of cream. In 315 days she milked over 8,000 pounds and was still milking 22 pounds per day at the end of that time. As a four-year-old, in the 257 days from August 15th to May 1st, she milked 7,191 pounds and was still milking 30 pounds when sold and shipped west. Her son. Bonny Boy, was sired by Imp.

Very few of the daughters of Bonny Boy ever had a chance to be tested. Coralie of Ridgeview 5926 made 334.12 pounds fat from 8,085.1 pounds of milk, commencing at 11^ years of age. Bonny Gift 3912, a daughter of Bonny Boy, owned by N. K. Fair- bank, calved when 2 years and 7 months old, and in 375 days gave 9,158 pounds and 1 ounce of milk, giving up to 38 pound's and 7 ounces per day. She was sold to a Chicago man for a family cow, and both she and her daughter proved to be exceptionally good cows. Another daughter of Bonny Boy, Bonnie Lassie of Fairview Coralie of Ridgeview 5926 — 334.12 pounds fat from 8,085.1 pounds milk, commencing at 11^2 years of age. 6002, was selected by the committee as worthy to be taken to Buflfalo for use in the Pan-American test, though she was 13 years old. She did not do well enough to go into the test but was a very good cow. She was the dam of Henry of Fairview 6962, that sired Jessie of Maple Lane 23457, A. R. 1706 A, 595.2 pounds fat. Many of Bonny Boy's other daughters are spoken of very highly by those who owned them. It is through his sons, however, that Bonny Boy is best known. Lily's Bonny Boy was sold when a yearling to N. K. Fairbank, Lake Geneva, Wis., and Mr. Lawrence, his superintendent, says he did not take a particular fancy to the bull, as he was rather small and a little beefy. He was used extensively in this herd from 1891 to 1897, spend- ing his whole life there except one season, when he was rented to Walter Hately, of Lake Beulah, Wis. Bonny Boy's sons with their descendants are as follows: Year's Lily's Bonny Boy 2676, A. R. record sire of Lily Ella 7240; semi-official record 782 dam of Lily Ella's Jeweler 5417, A.

While but few breeders have known much about her and her de- scendants, she is well worthy of mention as the founder of a family. The herd of Ben Clark & Son has long been one of the best herds in Wisconsin, and for several years past every animal in the herd has descended from Lura in the female line. She has 5 daughters and 1 son registered, and the following is a tabulation of her Ad- vanced Register descendants: Coralura 15811, A. R. 176, F 427.24 dam of Coralura II 19228. A.

Pa., Auo^ust 28, 1881. beina: tjien a two-year-old heifer carrying her first calf. This calf, a heifer, was dropped September 11, 1881. and was named Nerissa of Geneva 848, and she came with her mother that same winter to the farm of N. K. Fairbank, Lake Geneva, Wis. Duchess proved to be an unusually good cow, milking her best in January. 1885, when she reached 36 pounds 3 ounces milk in one day, and 1,078 pounds and 13 ounces for the month, and from January 1st to October 26th she milked 7,143^4 pounds milk. I find in the Fairbank record books, so carefully kept for years by Supt. Law- rence, two churn tests of Duchess. One was of seven milkings in March, 1885, when she gave 108 pounds 14 ounces of milk from which was churned 4 pounds 9 ounces of butter: and one in November, 1883, when in seven days she gave 182 pounds 3 ounces milk, which made 10 pounds 12 ounces of butter, she having calved in September. She lived until February 17, 1887. and had' six calves, but we hear little of three of them. Her son, Duchine, was used some in the Fairbank herd and sired at least one good cow, Duchinette, who was the ma- ternal grandmother of Standard, A. R. .30. Duchess was sired on the Island bv Billy 1st 109, F. S., and her daughter, Nerissa by Billy 2d 110. F. S., and they were bred by F. Heaume, Les Houards, Forest, and Mr. Heaume still maintains a high class herd. Nerissa proved to be even better than her dam, and Mr. La\y- The Guernsey Breed 361 rence says he considered her fully as good if not better than her sister, Materna. She was an unusually good cow, and as a sample of her work, will quote the following three successive years' work: 1886-1887 342 days 8,167 lbs. 10 oz. milk 1887-1888 313 days 7,881 lbs. 1 oz. milk 1888 283 days 7,246 lbs. 3 oz. milk She milked well every year, and in the year October, 1892, to September, 1893, 356 days, she gave 8,462 pounds 12 ounces milk, and as Babcock tests were then being made in the herd for the first year, she is credited with 381.66 pounds fat, average test 4.51 per cent fat. Best day's milk, April 10 and 11. 1888, 42 pounds 3 ounces each. April 19, 1888, milk 38 pounds 12 ounces churned made 2 pounds 5 ounces butter. Three days, May 14-16, 1887, HI pounds 5 ounces milk churned made 5 pounds 8 ounces butter. She died of milk fever in November, 1893. Her first calf, Ner- issola, gave 7,617 pounds of milk in a year, and was dam of Moyra, A. R. 632, 531.25 pounds fat, and she in turn dam of Pounds fat Besly Farm Ladv Yeksa 22752, A.

(re-test) 473.71 Materna was born September 3, 1882, and was sired by Amber 145, as he was usually called, but note in back of Volume I of the American Guernsey Cattle Club Herd Book says his rightful name was Amber Chief. This bull had at least 19 registered daughters, but little is known of them except Laura 3d of Chateau that left many good descend- ants in the herd of F. W. Tratt, Georgie 1181, who did the same for I. J. Clapp's herd, and Bonnibell owned by W. D. Hoard and which he valued very highly, and he often speaks of her. Amber 145 also sired Kalmia, the sire of Glenwood Girl 2d. She made a very good record at Chicago in 1893, milking up to 42 pounds per day, and calving April 5th, was still milking 40 pounds up to August 13th. She gave in 15 days of cheese test 598.2 pounds milk. In 90 days butter test ending August 30th, she gave 3,511.8 pounds milk and 153.39 pounds fat. In 30 days test ending Septem- ber 30th, she gave 1,058.4 pounds milk and 45.16 pounds fat. After reaching home in October, 1893, she milked up to 25.9 pounds per day. Materna was also first prize Guernsey cow in World's Fair Show ring in 1893. She dropped her first calf October 27, 1884, being then 25 months old, and proved her greatness at once by milking over 30 pounds most of December and January that winter, the best day being 30 pounds 12 ounces on January 8th. She was tested for seven milkings February 25th to 28th, and gave 83 pounds 11 ounces of milk and made 4 pounds 1 ounce of butter. Her records for her life time will, I think, be of interest: 1884-1885 385 days 8,895 pounds 10 ounces milk. 1886 262 days 6,935 pounds 8 ounces milk. 1887-1888 594 days 14,309 pounds 11 ounces milk. 362 The Guernsey Breed 1888-1889 298 days 8,802 pounds 4 ounces milk. 1889-1890 298 days 7,839 pounds 11 ounces milk. 1890-1891 304 days 7,331 pounds 7 ounces milk. 1891-1892 489 days 10,298 pounds 15 ounces milk. 1893 At World's Fair. Chicago. 1894-189S 290 days 4,931.5 pounds milk. 1896-1897 563 days 8,494 pounds milk, 418.75 pounds fat. 1897 111 days 2,064.6 pounds milk; had garget and was dried off. 1898 Can find no milk record. I find in the books that Mr. Lawrence tested her several times for butter, and in seven days, March 15th to 21st inclusive, 1887, she gave 285 pounds 15 ounces milk and made 16 pounds 8 ounces butter, and March 5th to 11th, 1886, she made 16 pounds Yi ounce butter from 264 pounds 6 ounces of milk. Best 365 days milk, 1887-'88, 10,778 pounds. Best day's milk I find for her was January 30, 1887, 43 pounds 10 ounces.

At least at three different times Mr. Fairbank allowed people to buy the pick of his herd, even as many as ten of the best young cows at one time, and most of these went where they were never heard of again. Materna was certainly a wonderful dairy cow and was so prepotent that her dairy qualities have been given to her descendants in very bountiful measure. Masher 705, P.

He was bred by F. N. Mahy and owned by Alfred La Patourel, La Ramee, Guernsey, who has ever since this time kept bulls in his herd descendants of this bull. He was used on the Island until he was at least six years of age. The Masher and France families have been so closely inter- mingled that it has seemed wise to omit from the Masher family tables the bull, France's Masher 2d, and' his descendants. These can The Guernsey Breed 367 be readily found under the France family, by reference to page 312, Chapter XIV. Masher was the sire of Imp. La Belle Francesca 16689, A. R. 295, A 388.11 dam of Imp.

S., the original cow of this family, was born May 12, 1881, and registered as lemon fawn, and was bred and owned by Pierre Martel, La Masse, Castel, Guernsey. She was third prize aged cow at Whitsuntide Show, May, 1885. All the fame of this well known family came through her daughter May Rose 2d 3251, P. S., and later exported to England and known there as Claremont May Rose 3648, E. G. H. B. She was dropped May 30, 1884, and registered as lemon fawn and white, and was sired by Pharon 43, P. S.. a son of the well known Presto 14, P. S., to which a large part of the best Island cattle trace. She won first prize at the Whitsuntide Shows in 1894, 1896, 1897, and second in 1895, being beaten that time by France 3d, that she in turn beat in 1896 and 1897. She was also first prize at the Royal Yorkshire Agricultural Show at Harrogate in 1897, and third at the English Royal in 1897. Because so many of the best known descendants of May Rose 2d' were in England or on the Island and never imported to this coun- try, and, therefore, have no A. R. records, it has seemed wise to make some exception to the rule and put in this table three or four of The Guernsey Breed 373 May Rose 1392, F. S. her immediate progeny that are not in the Advanced Register, in or- der to connect up these later animals of the family with the original cow. Her descendants on the Island', so far as I am able to trace them, are as follows: Paradox 352, E. G. H. B. and 269, F. S. (R. G. A. S.).

Her son, May Rose King, had he had the best opportunity possible in the Florham herd, would have shown up even more wonderfully than he has done, and King of the May, that was both her grandson and great grandson, has, as a producer of high class cows, not been excelled. Nellie 393, F. S. (R. A. A. S.) Nellie 393, F. S., R. A. A. S., is registered on Alderney as born in September, 1899. She was bred by C. F. Tourgis, Alderney, and she won the King's Cup and first prize over Alderney at the annual show, 1907. She was sold at that time to James Martel, Preel, Guern- sey, and registered on Guernsey as Dairymaid of the Preel 3268, F. S., R. G. A. S. Her date of birth is given there as August 1, 1900. She was given V. H. C. at the time of her registry in Guernsey on Sep- 388 The Guernsey Breed tember 25, 1907. She was sold by Mr. Martel to Sir H. D. Tich- borne, Bart., Tichborne Park, Alresford, Hants, England, and' she was registered in England as Itchen Dairymaid 7688, E. G. H. B. Mr. Tichborne showed her at the R. A. S. E. at Newcastle in 1908, where she won lirst and third prize in the milking contest. She was in- jured in a train accident on the way home from these shows and never recovered. As far as I am able to find she had but two regis- tered calves, one of these being the bull Masher 63, F. S., the best known bull they have ever had in Alderney. He was reserve for Xellie 393, F. S. the King's Cup at the R. A. A. S. show in 1906 and won first prize and King's Cup in 1907, and was then sold to Mr. Tichborne about the same time as his mother, and registered in England as Masher 2062, E. G. H. B: He was sired by Jumbo 59, F. S., a bull that now has 3 A. R. daughters with good Advanced Registry records in America, and whose dam, Cherry 332, F. S., was a sister of Flower of the Preel, the dam of the well known Hayes Rosie 15476, A. R., 116 A., 714.31 pounds fat, and Flower of the Preel 2d 71566, A. R.. 944 A., 521.77 pounds fat.

Sheet Anchor 2934 was born December 2, 1891, was bred by Levi P. Morton, and was purchased as a calf by Joseph L. Hope for the Florham herd, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was first prize winner at nearly all of the Eastern fairs in 1895 and 1897, and was one of the great show bulls of the breed. Few bulls have had as great an opportunity as he, but he certainly was not so great a success as a sire as some of the other great bulls of the breed. His pedigree is as follows: Imp.

Tricksey 1760 was bred by John Gibson, St. IVIartin's, Guernsey, and was No. 267 of the Calf Register of the Royal Guernsey Agricul- tural Society. The following is her tabulated pedigree: r Willie 99, P. S. {Champion I, P. S J 3d prize, 1880. ) LLa Rose 273, F. S. Beiutv. Lady Bird 604, F. S. She was imported by the late S. C. Kent, was sold by him to J. H. Jackson, West Grove. Pa., and later repurchased by Mr. Kent. She was the property of Mr. Kent until June, 1887, when she was sold to I. J. Clapp, Kenosha. Wis., and at the dispersal of his herd after his death she was sold on June 25, 1890. to R. S. Houston, Kenosha, Wis. In the fall of 1891 she was sold to the Minnesota Experiment Station, where she died of tuberculosis at about 12 years of age, after probably carrying the disease for several years. I saw Tricksey for the first time at Mr. Clapp's, May 29, 1887, and was impressed at first sight with her beauty and' her dairy qualities. I think she was never shown at a fair but once, at the Wisconsin State Fair in 1888. where she was second in aged cow class, and, under another judge, was sweepstakes Guernsey cow, any age_. She was never tested either for a week or a year while in her prime, but when I was at Mr. Clapp's farm on October 1, 1889. 404 The Guernsey Breed Tricksey had calved September 6th, and' was milking over 40 pounds. At my request Mr. Clapp saved one day's milk, from which was made 2 pounds 7^ ounces of butter. While tubercular in her 11th year at the Minnesota Station she made 340.7 pounds fat in a year. R. S. Houston once wrote me that she was the richest milker he ever had in his herd. Tricksey was evidently always a regular breeder. Her first calf was St. John of West Grove 10791, sired by Yellow Sultan 367, and was dropped May 11, 1884. This bull had no registered progeny, as far as I can find. Her second calf was Tricksey 2d 2633, last owned by W. I. Hamil- ton, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and she went in the tubercular wreck of his herd in 1890. She was a very choice cow, and made 8 pounds of butter in 3^ days as a three-year-old. Her sire was Lord Balti- more 456.
