REGISTRY ASSOCIATION. 



The American Mileh Goat Eecord Association was incorpor- 

 ated in 1905 for the purpose of establishing and improving milch 

 goats, and especially to provide for the registration of same. The 

 present Secretary is Mr. J. C. Darst, Dayton, Ohio, to whom all 

 communications should be addressed. The one association covers 

 all breeds and up to August, 1914, when the first volume of the 

 Eecord was published, they had recorded 900 goats. Prior to 

 December 1st, 1914, when the rules were changed, they admitted 

 to registry the offspring of any registered buck and doe, and as any 

 doe giving two quarts or more per day could be registered, thi& 

 resulted in the registry of a number of cross-breed and grade ani- 

 mals, hence the mere fact that a goat is registered is not proof of 

 its purity. The pedigree alone will determine that. 



Since December 1st, no buck has been or will be registered 

 that is either cross-bred or grade, although does of any kind, 

 giving two quarts or more per day, are eligible. Registry, to 

 count, should be backed by pedigree and performance. Presum- 

 ably there are some pure breeds that are not registered and it is 

 certain that there are unregistered cross-breeds and grades that 

 excel similar registered animals.
