In making this form of pedigree, the names of the males 

 are at the top of each bracket, and the females at the bot- 

 tom. This style may be extended from generation to genera- 

 tion, the number of ancestors doubling each remove to the 

 right. This pedigree shows that Orion Chief, a noted Duroc- 

 Jersey, had Orion II for sire and Mabel for dam. Going 

 back another generation, it will be noted that, in the line of 

 male descent, his grandsire was Orion and his grandam, 

 Ohio Anna. On the dam's side, Longfellow is his grandsire 

 and Agnes X, the grandam. If we now go back another 

 generation, we have four great-grandsires and four great- 

 grandams. This form of pedigree shows the complete ances- 

 try, and is the only one generally used by stockmen in giving 

 the breeding of an animal. One may find many examples 

 of this form of pedigree in the sale catalogues of breeders of 

 dairy cattle and swine. These publications of pedigrees 

 may usually be obtained on application to advertisers of 

 such sales in live-sjock and agricultural journals. 



The ancestral line of the dam is another form of display- 

 ing a pedigree. This may be illustrated by the following 

 pedigree of the Shorthorn bull Villager.
