HARTOG AND TWISK FAMILIES. 



Several families originated with the Unadilla Valley breeders in the seven- 

 ties. The most popular of these are the Hartogs and Twisks. The former 

 sprang from the cow Jacoba Hartog 2 D.-F. H. B. She was a gift to her 

 importer from Burgomaster Jacob Hartog, of Beemster district, North Holland. 

 She was an ideal milch cow in form and appearance. Probably in the history 

 of the breed no more successful prize winner can be found. At two years old 

 she won the sweepstakes prize for the best milch cow of any age, grade or breed, 

 offered by New York State Agricultural Society. The competition was very 

 large, comprising Ayrshires, Jerseys, Devons, Shorthorns and Holsteins. She 

 won the same prize the next year, and the second year following. This career 

 thus remarkably begun continued up to the year of her death. Among her 

 offspring Jacoba Hartog 3d has a record of 42i Ibs. of butter in fourteen days. 

 This was made by the old, wasteful ways of skimming and churning. From 

 this cow the bull Hamilton, for years the pride of the Chenango Valley breed- 

 ers, was bred. This family is more generally distributed in New York, north 

 of the Mohawk river. 



The Twisks originated with Maid of Twisk, 1 D.-F. H. B. She was a prize 

 winner at the International Exhibition held at The Hague, Netherlands, in 

 1872. Her efficiency in helping to build up the early reputation of the breed in 

 America is universally recognized. At a period when 5,000 Ibs. milk in a year 

 was considered a remarkable yield, she produced nearly 16,000. And what is 

 especially remarkable is that this period included the drying up of her milk, 

 and a period of rest and freshening, and the producing of two strong, healthy 

 calves, carried their full time. One of these calves was dropped April 3, 1878, 

 and the other February 23, 1879. There could be no greater evidence of consti- 

 tutional vigor. Her fine proportions are shown by her measurements, as follows: 

 Height shoulders, 51J inches: hips, 544- ; width hips, 23|; length body, 64; girth, 

 80. She strongly impressed her descendants. They are found largely as grades 

 in central New York.
