THE DAIRY BREEDS OF CATTLE Pan 
The prepotency of the Guernsey bull, or his ability to 
stamp the desirable characteristics of the breed on his off- 
spring, makes him most valuable for improving the com- 
mon dairy stock of any section. If he is employed intel- 
ligently, he will get grade cows yielding rich milk, and 
possessing good constitution and productivity. 
310. Distribution. —'The even temperament of Guern- 
sey cattle has been very conducive to the adaptability of 
the breed to the various climates and conditions of the 
world at large. They are found mainly on Guernsey 
island, in England, Canada and the United States. The 
only hindrance to their widespread introduction has been 
the fact that for the last few years there have not been 
enough animals to supply the demand. 
Since the public has learned to appreciate the discrimi- 
nating qualities of milk, cream and butter, the Guernsey 
cow has been in great demand. Her distribution within 
the last few years has made material gains. The transfer 
of ownership recorded in the herd register shows that the 
breed has now an excellent footing in all the prominent 
dairy sections, and every indication points that the de- 
mand for both pure breds and high-grade Guernseys has 
increased materially in the last few years. 
311. Organizations and records. — The Royal Guern- 
sey Agricultural and Horticultural Society directs the 
interests of the breed on Guernsey island. It maintains 
a herd-book for general registration. In 1885, the Eng- 
lish Guernsey Cattle Society was organized. It issues a 
herd-book. The American Guernsey Cattle Club was 
organized in 1877. It has published twenty-nine volumes 
of the herd register, and there were recorded in May, 1915, 
32,320 males and 55,640 females. Over 11,114 entries 
were made in 1914. Since 1910 an official breed organ
