St. Lambert 5524." It is also claimed with reason that Stoke 

 Pogis 1259 (imp.) and Marjoram 3239 (imp.) should be regarded 

 as in this foundation stock. The fame of this family was first 

 promoted by Mr. Fuller, who, in 1881, purchased a number of 

 St. Lambert Jerseys from William Rolph of Markham, Ontario. 

 Finally he purchased Mary Ann of St. Lambert 9770, sired by 

 Stoke Pogis 3d 2238 (imp.), one of the famous cows of the 

 breed, with a private record for a year of 867 pounds I4| ounces 

 of butter. Stoke Pogis 3d proved a most successful sire, and a 

 daughter of his, Ida of St. Lambert 24990, bred to Bachelor of 

 St. Lambert 4558, produced Ida's Rioter of St. Lambert 13656 

 and also Exile of St. Lambert 13657, the latter being credited 

 with more tested daughters than any other son of this family. 

 The St. Lamberts have had a great run of popularity, but in 

 recent years the newer Island-bred families have superseded this. 

 However, many of the recent-day American-bred Jerseys of special 

 merit trace directly back into this St. Lambert breeding. Naturally 

 this large family has broken up into various branches, or subfamilies. 



The Combination family descends from Lady Mel 429, calved 

 in 1868 and bred by S. VV. Robbins of Connecticut. Her 

 daughter Lady Mel 2d 1795, by Albert 44, proved a remarkable 

 cow, having in 1875 a butter test of 183 pounds in sixty-one days 

 and being the dam of seven registered bull calves and four 

 heifers. The bull Combination 4389, a son of Lady Mel 429, 

 gives the name to this family. He sired many producing sons 

 and daughters, among which Diploma 162 19 was most distin- 

 guished, he siring many tested cows, including Merry Maiden 

 64949, champion cow in the World's Columbian Exposition at 

 Chicago among 74 cows from three different breeds. Brown Bessie 

 74997, the champion cow in the dairy test at the same expo- 

 sition, was a granddaughter of Combination on the dam's side. 

 Merry Maiden's 3d Son 60516, champion of the breed at the 

 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, is the sire of numerous 

 sons and daughters in the register of merit. This is one of the 

 popular American Jersey families. 



The Tormentor family receives its name from the bull Tor- 

 mentor 3533 (imp.), he being sired by Khedive, P. 103 and out 

 of Angela, F. S. 1607, a daughter of the noted Coomassie 11 874
