claring; her the best cow he had ever 

 looked upon?" No doubt, however, other 

 cows have attained greater fame as 

 breeders, but no individual has yet lived 

 which combined so interesting a pedigree, 

 superior individual merit, breeding worth 

 and market value as 10th Duchess of 

 Geneva. The added fact that she was 

 American bred and exported to England 

 possesses a special interest to the stu- 

 dent, for but few American-bred Short- 

 horns have found their way into herds 

 the other side of the Atlantic. A full 

 page engraving of this cow, at 5 years 

 old, drawn by J. R. Page, ornaments 

 volume IX., part 2, and volume 

 XII., part 2, of the American Shorthorn 

 Herd Book.
