In 1903 Mr. Twiinil)l\- inipnrted the Inill (Icildcn Xciljle 

 10580, that has four aih-anced register suns ami 18 registered 

 daughters, f:"iur of wliicli ha\"e atU'ai-'.ced register records up

 Every daughter of his seems to ).)e a good one, and at this

 the young daughters of this bull, and the work that they are 

 now doing stamps him as one cif the most prepotent of Guern- 

 sey sires. Among his advanced register daughters are Julie 

 of the Chene 30460. with a record of 953.53 pounds of fat: 

 Jehanna Ldiene 30889, that holds llic junior three-vear-old
