222 CATTLE-BREEDING. 



in cattle, horses, and the other domestic ani- 

 mals it is the female. Let us see how different 

 the result is. I will take as a specimen the 

 pedigree of Baron Butterfly, my old stock bull, 

 which has already been given in its true or ex- 

 tended form. First we have the form, as used 

 in the records of the breed, which gives the line 

 of descent so abbreviated as to show only the 

 feminine line, thus : 



BARON BUTTERFLY 49871, 



Red and white, calved May 31, 1882, got by 2d Duke of Grasmere 

 13961, dam Butterfly by Airdrie Renick 7468 White Wreath by St. 

 Valentine 4348}^ Bridal Wreath by Imperial Duke (18083) imp. 

 Miss Butterfly by Master Butterfly (13311) Rosa by Baron of Ra- 

 vensworth (7811) Briseis by Raree Show (4874) Bessy by Thick 

 Hock (6601) Barmpton Rose by Expectation (1988) by Belzoni 

 (1709) by Cotnus (1861) by Denton (198). 



We see that this is a Butterfly taking the 

 name of the imported cow, as is very commonly 

 done in this country, or a Barmpton Rose as 

 this family is called in England. Now turning 

 to the male line see what a very different story 

 we read in the record: 



BARON BUTTERFLY 49871,

 Grasmere 13961, out of Grace by Muscatoon 7057, out of Mazurka
