PUREBRED LIVE STOCK ASSOCIA¬ 
TIONS AND THEIR METHODS. 
Organizing a Registration Association. 
11 lias been shown in first article that in 
the course of time what may be regarded 
as a distinct breed of farm animals be¬ 
comes established. A number of differ¬ 
ent breeders engage in forming the breed. 
Some are pioneers, among whom are men 
of distinction and, ability. They are the 
ones who are instrumental in placing the 
breed before the public and in making its 
merits known. Such men, as a rule, are 
stout champions and oftentimes partisans. 
My a perfectly natural process some of 
these men begin to regard themselves as 
the ones most familiar with the qualifi¬ 
cations which should be found in ani¬ 
mals of the breed. Business relationship 
has brought them together in some de¬ 
gree, and they exchange views and gradu¬ 
ally develop a mutual interest in promot¬ 
ing a common cause. I bis logically cul¬ 
minates in a number of the breeders com¬ 
ing together and organizing an associa¬ 
tion or society for establishing a stan¬ 
dard of ptirity for individuals of the 
breed in question, providing a method of 
registration and perhaps transfer, and for 
otherwise officially promoting the inter¬ 
ests of tin; breed. These men become the 
recognized guardians of this breed. They 
take it upon themselves to determine 
what shall be of pure breeding or what 
impure, and what shall be foundation 
stock from which so-called pure blood 
lines may descend. 
In the early days breeding associations 
were of comparatively simple organiza¬ 
tion, and had but few rules and regula¬ 
tions. Sometimes the pioneer work lead¬ 
ing If) organization was begun by one or 
two men. I homas Bates and George 
(mates, of Kngland, as a private matter, 
took up the herd book idea for the 
Short-horn, and in 1822 Coates brought 
out the first volume of what is the Coates 
or English Short born herd book. Not 
until IK7(i. however, did the Short-born 
Society of the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Ireland take official charge of 
the herd book. Lewis F. Allen, of New 
York State, first promoted such work in 
this country, by publishing Volume I. of 
the American Short-horn Herd Book in 
1840. Later, a regular association was 
organized, and this to-day controls tin- 
herd book and its publication. The main 
purpose in early days was to show the 
purity of descent of animals in the herds 
of the breeders. The secretary, or edi¬ 
tor, as be was often designated, was the 
chief official, as be is, in fact, to-day, 
but bis duties consisted almost wholly in 
registering animals in the herd book, 
which was published at irregular inter¬ 
vals. 
During late years, purebred stock asso¬ 
ciations have assumed a more elaborate 
organization, and have attempted more 
extensive duties. In addition to the cus¬ 
tomary officials of president, secretary 
and treasurer, we may have a first vice- 
president and list of State vice-presidents 
• the latter being honorary rather than 
active officials. 'There may also be vari 
ous committees, as, for example, a board 
of directors or executive committee, a 
pedigree committee, committee on points 
of excellence, etc. The executive com 
mittec, in most associations, has consider¬ 
able power, and serves the purpose of 
several committees in other organizations. 
I’lircbred stock associations may or may 
not be incorporated. That is just as the 
persons forming the organization may 
elect. If much business is to be transact¬ 
ed, it will be desirable to become an in 
corpi Mated body. In any event, it is 
customary to charge a membership fee, 
which is represented by stock worth a 
given par value. A certificate of member 
ship or stock differs in value, ranging 
from $r» with some associations up to 
$ltto, as in the case of the American Jer¬ 
sey Cattle Club, Membership may be 
secured in some cases by direct applica¬ 
tion, without recommendation, while in 
other societies endorsement by one or 
more members, followed by election by 
the voting body at annual meetings, are 
litre sary. 
What is the real purpose of a pure¬ 
bred stock association is a pertinent ques 
tion, and none too well understood by 
many on the outside. Tn the organiza 
tion, as might be assumed, a constitution 
is adopted, while by-laws, rules of order 
or procedure arc made a part of the 
constitution, or become a separate fea 
lure tinder a designated heading. The 
constitution, by means of separate arti 
eles, provides for the name, object of 
the association, officers to be elected and 
their duties, conditions of membership, 
place and time of meetings, voting privi¬ 
leges, violation of rules and amendments. 
What are termed by-laws by some asso¬ 
ciations and rules by others, provide for 
publishing herd, flock or stud books, rules 
of registration, transfer, methods of 
marking, importation, etc. In case of 
some associations, special provision is 
made in separate rules covering records 
of merit or advanced registration. Most 
associations also provide a standard of 
excellence, or scale of points, as an offi¬ 
cial feature. 'I bis does not always obtain, 
however, for one of the greatest registra¬ 
tion organizations in the world, the 
American Short-born Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion, entirely ignores any official scale of 
points in its application to the breed. 
There is a large amount of variation in 
the organization ami efficiency of adminis¬ 
tration of the purebred stock associations.

—Cored by Cutlnurn. 
"Since the year 1894 1 have been trou¬ 
bled with a very bad case of eczema which 
1 have spent hundreds of dollars trying to 
cure, and I went to the hospital, but thev 
failed to cure me, and it was getting 
worse all the time. Five week ago my 
wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment 
and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am 
pleased to say that I am now completely 
cured and well. It was impossible for me 
to get employment, as my face, head and 
body were covered with it. The eczema 
first appeared on the top of my head, 
and it had worked all tlie way around 
down the back of my neck and around to 
my throat, down my body and around the 
hips. It itched so I would be obliged to 
scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am 
now all well, and I will be pleased to rec¬ 
ommend the Cuticura Remedies to all per¬ 
sons who wish a speedy and permanent 
cure of skin diseases. 'Thomas M. Rossi
