The bulls of superior merit, although they have only a 

 few pairs on which to base judgment, are Sans Aloi, Signal's 

 Successor and Golden Glow's Chief, with 210.56, 177.72, and 

 161.93 pounds of butter-fat by which their daughters, were 

 superior to their respective dams. Discussion of these bulls is 

 perhaps needless since they are familiar to most breeders as 

 of outstanding merit. It is of interest to see the pedigree of 

 Golden Glow's chief as he has the honor of being sire of the 

 justly famous cow Vive la France. This pedigree is presented 

 below.

This bull is shown by his pedigree to be a combination of 

 American breeding on his sire's side and of Island breeding on 

 his mother's side. It will be noted that on the dam's side a 

 repetition of Golden Lad takes place in the fourth generation. 



We may now take up the list of leading native and im- 

 ported sires for the net change in the butter-fat by which their 

 daughters on the average are different from their dams. The
