The Guernsey Breed 309 



She was sired by King John 137, G. H. B., and out of Belle Pale 

 1460, G. H. B. While on the Island she made a record of 15.5 pounds 

 butter (Guernsey weight, 18 ounces to a pound) or 17 pounds 7 

 ounces English weight. When she came to this country she left on 

 the Island one daughter, France 2d 10002, P. S., and' she, too. was im- 

 ported by Mr. Shaw in 1892, when her daughter, France 3d 3018, P. 

 S., later imported into this country and known as La Belle France 

 14454, was but a year old. France herself was, when she was import- 

 ed, carrying the calf Imp. France 3d' 2573, which was dropped May 

 8, 1885, and also owned by Mr. Shaw. 



It will thus be noted that France and France II each had a daugh- 

 ter called France III, the daughter of the first being born in this 

 country, while the daughter of France II was born on the Island but 

 later came to this country. It is from the France III born on the 

 Island that the family now known as the France family is descended. 

 Neither France nor France II has more than one daughter recorded 

 on the Island, but France II was the dam of France's Jewel 3738, 

 dropped just before she left the Island, and later imported by A. J. 

 Cassett, Berwyn, Pa., and was the sire of Ortive 13273, A. R. 122, with 

 a record of 8,116.2 pounds milk and 469.9 pounds fat. He was also 

 sire of La Grande of Chester 4169, that sired Bessie of Belle-'Vernon 

 10772, A. R. 962, A, with a record of 8,888.02 pounds milk or 478.26 

 pounds fat. 



Mr. Ozanne has continued to name the females of the family the 

 same name "France" with numerals attached without regarding the 

 rule of the Island that an animal to have a name like "France IV" 

 must be out of the original France, and he has now reached to France 

 XL. It was also his custom to name nearly all of the bulls "France's 

 Jewel" with numerals after them, and he now has France's Jewel XVII. 



Imp. La Belle France 14454 (France III 3018, P. S.) was imported 

 to this country by H. McK. Twombly at a reported price larger than 

 had ever been paid for a Guernsey cow up to that time. It is very 

 unfortunate for the breed as well as for Mr. Twombly that she died 

 of milk fever at her next calving. She was first prize voung cow on 

 the Island in 1894, first prize aged cow in 1895, 1899, 1900 and 1901, 

 and second prize in 1897. third, 1896, and won champion prize for 

 four years. She was the dam of
