The pedigree of this bull has much of the St. Lambert 

 strain on the mother's side. No inbreeding has taken place up 

 to the fifth generation. Several animals of much merit are 

 seen throughout the pedigree. The wonder is not that he 

 caused his daughters to produce so high a butter-fat concentra- 

 tion in their milk as compared with their dams, but that he did 

 not cause these same daughters to produce a larger quantity 

 of milk. 



Another class of bulls should not be passed by without 

 mention. These are the bulls which raised the quantity of the 

 milk produced by the daughters over that of their dams and 

 also raised the butter-fat percentage of this milk. The facts 

 for this may be extracted from the two tables 4 and 5. Signal's 

 Successor and Golden Glow's Chief are the leading bulls in 

 this set. Such bulls as these certainly improve the breed. Bulls 

 of the opposite class are those which decrease both the quan- 

 tity and quality of their daughters' milk. These two kinds of
