THE GUERNSEY 403 



This and the May King families, in the hands of F. L. Ames of 

 Massachusetts, have been bred together to great advantage. 



The France family, one of the most popular of the breed, has 

 its origin in the cow France 404 F. S. 2207 A. G. H. B. She 

 was bought by P. D. Ozanne from Mr. T. Vidmour, Les Frances 

 Farm, St. Saviours, Guernsey, and from this farm she got her 

 name. She was, imported in September, 1884, by A. F. Fuller of 

 Pennsylvania and sold to Francis Shaw of Wayland, Massachu- 

 setts. She left on the island one daughter, France 2d, and as she 

 was in calf when imported she dropped a heifer in America, 

 France 3d 2573 (imp.). On the island her daughter, who was 

 later imported, also dropped a heifer, named France 3d 3018 P. S. 

 From this latter, France 3d, this family descends. The mating of 

 Masher 2d 858 P. S., later known as Island Champion 6263 (imp.), 

 to France 3d, later known as La Belle France 14454 (™P-)> P™" 

 duced France's Masher 2d 7248 (imp.), the sire of Masher's Sequel 

 1 1462 (imp.), one of the greatest sires of the breed. Raymond 

 of the Preel 11353 (imp.), sire of a large number of Advanced 

 Registry daughters, is a son of Masher's Sequel. This family in- 

 cludes a large number of animals in the Advanced Registry, but 

 the records produced are hardly as high in butter fat as some of the 

 others. This especially applies to daughters of Masher's Sequel. 



The Glenwood Girl family descends from Glenwood Girl 1693, 

 imported in dam in 1883 by L. W. Ledyard of New York. 

 Calved in 1884, she soon after became the property of E. T. Gill 

 of Haddonfield, New Jersey, in whose possession she dropped 

 twelve living calves, seven being heifers. These daughters, mostly 

 sired by different bulls, were an unusual group, but one of them, 

 Glenwood Girl 2d 9108, produced 9945 pounds of milk and 

 508.7 pounds of fat in a year and lived to be sixteen years old. 

 Her son Glenwood Boy of Haddon 4605 sired many Advanced 

 Registry daughters, including Jedetta of Pinehurst 17434, with a 

 record of 778.8 pounds of fat in a year, and Dairymaid of Pine- 

 hurst 24656, with a record of 17,285 pounds of milk and 910.67 

 pounds of fat in a year. Mr. Hill wrote^ in 191 1 that it was his 

 opinion, if Glenwood Boy of Haddon had had the opportunity 

 that some bulls had of serving a large number of females, he
