FRAUD IN CATTLE REGISTRATION. 
Do you know of any cases where fraud has 
been practiced in registering purebred cattle? 
Cases have come to our notice where it is 
claimed that one animal was substituted for 
another. In such a case, what could he 
done? 
I am not familiar with any other asso¬ 
ciation except the Holstein-Friesian As¬ 
sociation, and am frank to say that with 
the methods of this association no such 
deception could be consummated. When 
application is made for registry in the 
above association a diagram of the mark¬ 
ings of the calf on both sides has to be 
given, together with a breeding certificate 
properly signed bv the owner of the bull 
and the date of service. In case of trans¬ 
fer of dam in calf this breeding certificate 
is also attached to the transfer and prop¬ 
erly signed by the owner of the bull. The 
certificate of registry is issued giving the 
name of dam and sire and date of birth of 
the animal registered, and on the back of 
this certificate of registry is a correct 
marking of the animal as drawing shows 
on the application for registry. You can 
readily see that it is almost an impossi¬ 
bility to deceive with the above system, 
and I can recall but one instance that has 
come under my observation where decep¬ 
tion was attempted, and in this case it 
was promptly discovered and the animal 
thrown out. The only hardship in this 
instance was on the owner of the animal, 
who attempted to deceive.

The certificate of registry of a pure¬ 
bred animal is valuable only so far as the 
value of the registration can be relied 
upon. I do not believe there is any cat¬ 
tle association that would tolerate for one 
moment anything that would discredit 
their registry system, but it is easy for 
a man of disrepute to take old registry 
certificates and apply them to animals, 
grades for instance or others that do 
not compare by age, and palm them off on 
those who arc not acquainted with pure- 
breds, and in a case of this kind they 
should be exposed to the full extent of 
publicity, and should be made to recom¬ 
pense the purchaser to the full extent of 
the law. I do not know of anything of 
the kind in our association, or in any 
association, but I have cautioned our 
management to be on the alert and watch 
for anything that would savor of wrong 
registration. The cattle business at this 
time is quite prosperous, and no doubt 
there are persons who would lake ad¬ 
vantage of this and register anything that 
they could, and it is the duty of every 
person, whether a breeder or not, who is 
interested in purebred stock, to try to 
have the records of the different cattle 
associations kept as pure as it is possible 
to have them. a. a. cortelyou. 
New Jersey. 
Yes; take the American Jersey Cattle 
Club, as example. Inside the last year 
we (the directors) shut out from future 
registering a certain breeder who had 
been guilty of substituting animals. For 
instance, we register animals as “solid 
color.” Now. a solid color Jersey may be 
anything from a light gray through all 
the different shades of so-called fawn to 
black, as you can see by looking over the 
imported cattle at any sales. If he had 
a club certificate describing an animal of 
a certain pedigree born—say May 25, 1902 
—it would be very easy to substitute one 
born in 1900 if the description was only 
“solid color,” black tongue and switch, 
both animals answering the same descrip¬ 
tion. I can say officially for our organi¬ 
zation. where indisputable proof is sub¬ 
mitted of such substitutions, that such a 
breeder is not likely to have an oppor¬ 
tunity to play any more such tricks 
backed up with registration certificates of 
the club. I can say that the American 
Jersey Cattle Club, in its endeavors to 
keep its records as clean as possible, will 
be glad to have proof produced of any 
breeder being guilty of crooked work. 
We try to keep our records, sc? that a reg¬ 
istration certificate will “mean or certify” 
as near an authentication of pure breed¬ 
ing as possibly, but, we cannot make 
men honest, although we will punish dis¬ 
honesty if possible, robt. f. shannon.

MAKING BUTTER FROM ONE COW. 
I noticed in The R. N.-Y last Winter, 
letters from some of the readers telling 
of the difficulty they had in their butter, 
making. In regard to the one where 
the butter stuck to the butter-bowl, ladle 
and butter-worker, I know from experi¬ 
ence it is a very great bother, and 
causes much worry to anyone trying to 
make butter. My experience with such 
may be of help to some one else, as I 
have made from 50 to 42 or 43 pounds 
a month from one cow ever since August 
1, 1905, nearly a year. I have no cellar 
and no modern improvements to work 
with. The milk is brought to the house, 
I then strain it- in shallow pans or small 
pails. If the thermometer is at about 66 
out of doors, I set the dishes with the 
new milk in them away in an unused 
room, for the cream to rise. If the ther¬ 
mometer is going above 66, I have two 
ordinary washtubs I use. I set the pails 
or pans in them, then I pump cold water 
and pour around them, cooling the milk 
in this way, changing the water as it gets 
warm. When all the steam is off the 
milk. I take a clean white cotton cloth, 
wring it out of cold water and spread it 
over the top of the tubs (do not wring it 
dry). I then cover over that a “binder 
canvas,” wet it and there let tlie milk 
stay until the cream has risen, 24 hours, 
or something like that, changing the 
water night and morning or oftencr if 
required. I churn when I have gathered 
from one-half to one gallon of cream. 
During these hot days T prepare my churn 
and butter-bowl for churning the night 
before, by scalding them first with boiling 
water, then adding cold water. I fill my 
churn full of cold water, so that not the 
least bit of the space inside will become 
dry. If it does the butter will stick to it. 
I set my butter bow! and ladle in a gran¬ 
ite pan and (after scalding) pour in cold 
water enough so the wood is all cov¬ 
ered well with the cold water outside 
and inside. In the morning I like 
to commence churning not later than 
5 A. M., as I have everything in 
readiness it is not much trouble to get 
the churning done at that hour; I also 
have the cream (which is in a stone jar) 
sitting in cold water over night. After 
I churn and wash butter, etc., I take the 
butter from churn in the butter-bowl; I 
sprinkle the bowl and ladle all around 
inside lightly with salt. This keeps the 
butter from sticking to either one of 
them; if the butter is soft I take a large 
pail, or small tub, fill with cold water, and 
setting in a cool place, set the butter- 
bowl on the top of the cold water; it will 
float. I again wring a clean towel out of 
cold water and spread completely over 
the top of the whole, tub or pail, and the 
butter-bowl (the wet cloth on the top of 
the vessels of the cold water keeps them 
much colder than without). I let the but¬ 
ter stand thus one hour, then take out and 
mix as required. If still too soft to make 
in rolls I again set on the water for one- 
half hour longer, then roll and wrap in 
the butter paper, which has been dipped 
in cold water, I then place the rolls of 
butter in a large stone jar and set it in 
another tub of cold water, (these are 
one-pound rolls) changing the water as 
required, until marketed. This seems like 
a great deal of work, and it is, but where 
one has no cellar and no ice, cold water 
is the next best. I find in this section of 
country no cellars to speak of, and only 
an occasional farmer trying to keep ice, 
while nearly all keep a cow or two, make 
butter when the weather is suitable, and 
stop when it is not. E. A. p.
