These are all recorded in volume 1 of

 sired by Editor, but not registered in ths 

 American book. 



It is interesting to note here that cus- 

 tom occasionally adopted by the breeders 

 of naming stock with a uniform letter— 

 a method apparently, well perpetuated 

 In the Jilt tribe, and, as Farrall says, 

 "a race or family of J's difficult to com- 

 pete with." 



It will be well to briefly consider some 

 of these sons and daughters of Jilt. 

 Juryman, Judge and Justice brought 

 everlasting fame to the memory of the 

 cow. They formed a great trio, and 

 Americans must be especially interested 

 in them from the fact that both Judge 

 and Justice were purchased and used by 

 Judge' J. S. Goodwin (then of Beloit, 

 Kan.) in his herd. 



Juryman made his first appearance in 

 the show ring at the Highland at Dum- 

 fries, winning first place, and again at 

 the 1871 Highland at Perth, winning first 

 as aged bull. In 1871 he was referred 

 to as "a remarkably good looking as 

 well as a most valuable stock bull." 



Judge was calved in 1875, and he se- 

 cured fame by winning first prize in the 

 aged bull class at the Paris exposition, 

 and so has been dubbed "the world 

 beater." He was imported to Rouga- 

 mont, Quebec, by George Whitfield, who 

 later sold him to Judge Goodwin, in 

 whose possession he died. 



Justice, "the incomparable," was calved 

 in 1878, and he, perhaps, attained the 

 most fame of these famous brothers. 

 Justice was first shown as a yearling at 

 Perth in 1879, and at the Highland show, 

 where he was "splendidly brought out," 

 and won first place in class. In 1880, at 

 the Highland at Kelso, he was second as
