Mr. TAYLOR’S SIDE OF GUERNSEY COW 
CASE. 
Part II. 
Another member of the executive 
committee stated: 
Mr. Hill: “I might say, I certainly 
wouldn’t like to act upon the committee; 
if there is to be a special committee, it 
ought to be some one outside of the execu¬ 
tive .committee.” 
The club then authorized the appoint¬ 
ment of a special committee to conduct 
the investigation, not a sub-committee of 
the executive committee. The executive 
committee appointed the following special 
committee: Dean Russell, of Columbia 
University, a New York breeder; Mr. 
Rietbrock, of Wisconsin, one of the best- 
known breeders in this country, and Mr. 
Gill, vice-president of the club, and a 
very well known New Jersey breeder. 
Mr. Taylor was not consulted as to the 
appointments. The accusers refused to 
formulate charges; they were requested 
to appear before this special committee 
and they refused to do so. The special 
committee held three all-day sessions, 
two in New York and one at Glenfarm, 
They examined at great length the man¬ 
ager of the farm, the herdsman, milker, 
the two inspectors, the chemist who 
made the analysis, the secretary of the 
club, Mr. Herrick, various experts, and 
in fact, everyone wlio could throw any 
light on the subject, except the accusers, 
who refused to appear. The special com¬ 
mittee then consulted the leading experts 
of the United States on the various 
technical subjects, especially as to hered¬ 
ity, and the effect of hoof-rot disease in 
affecting the composition of milk. It was 
found that the hoof-rot accounted for 
the abnormal analysis. The committee 
carefully considered the charge that 
cream was added to the milk, and dis¬ 
missed it as entirely unfounded. The 
so-called “fixed laws” governing cows 
laid down by the accusers were refuted 
by an examination of the records of other 
cows. The report of the special com¬ 
mittee was unanimous in favor of the 
records. They suggested, however, 
that an average of the four tests taken 
in November, when Missy was sick, be 
substituted for the test taken on De¬ 
cember 1, although the secretary testified 
that in taking the December test he was 
following the custom. Mr. Taylor stat¬ 
ed that he would accept the modification. 
The special committee did a great amount 
of disagreeable and unselfish work, in 
midsummer, without compensation, and 
are entitled to the thanks of every mem¬ 
ber of the club and of all breeders of 
dairy cattle. 
The special committee made its report 
in August. It covers 69 printed pages. 
A sub-committee of the executive com¬ 
mittee refused to permit Mr. Taylor’s 
representative to see the report after it 
was made. I was acting as Mr. Taylor’s 
counsel. I was informed that the exec¬ 
utive committee proposed to modify the 
report, which I contended they had no 
right to do, as the report of the special 
committee was final. Mr. Taylor was 
in Europe, but he had instructed me in 
case the executive committee rejected 
the records to invoke the protection of 
the court. Members of the executive 
committee had admitted that they were 
biased, they had not seen the witnesses, 
most of them had not even had an op¬ 
portunity to examine the evidence. One 
of them admitted that the report was 
in Mr. Taylor’s favor, but he stated that 
it would have to be modified. 
The executive committee met on Sep¬ 
tember 30. That afternoon I obtained 
an order to show cause, containing a 
temporary injunction restraining the ex¬ 
ecutive committee from rejecting the rec¬ 
ords or from publishing other records 
unless Missy’s and Glenanaar’s were in¬ 
cluded, until the matter could be passed 
on by the court. The order was return¬ 
able within a few days. Before serving 
the papers I asked the president of the 
club whether he would let me know what 
action the executive committee had 
taken, after its deliberations were com¬ 
pleted. Upon his refusal I served the 
injunction, as the only possible means of 
protecting Mr. Taylor’s rights. I later 
discovered that the proposed modifica¬ 
tions in the report related to certain 
matters affecting the Advanced Register 
work. Under our jurisprudence every 
man has the right to be tried by an im¬ 
partial tribunal, to face his accusers and 
to be notified of the charges against him. 
I contended that the decision of the 
special committee in favor of the records 
was final. All the evidence taken before 
the special committee was presented to 
the court, and the court has decreed that 
as shown by the evidence the records 
were honestly made, and that as a mat¬ 
ter of law they shall stand. I know of 
no higher way in which the records 
could have been established. They were 
supervised by duly authorized inspectors 
unanimously sustained by the committee 
appointed by the club to investigate them, 
and upheld by the decision of the court. 
The flimsiness of the charges is shown by 
the fact that the accusers refused even 
to appear before the committee. If the 
executive committee or breeders had any 
defence to the suit they certainly had 
the ability and the means, and they 
should have had the courage, to defend 
it. No law-abiding citizen can object to 
the course we pursued, and Mr. Taylor 
cannot be blamed for freeing his men 
from the unjust charge of fraud; he 
could be blamed if he had not done so. 
Mr. Rice, in his letter, demands that 
other cows at Glenfarm duplicate these 
high tests. There is but one Missy of 
the Glen, and she has been injured. How 
easy, under the circumstances, to demand 
the impossible of her! There are other 
good cows at Glenfarm, and I expect 
that they will make fine records. A few 
cows have improved their records upon a 
retest, after a reasonable period of rest, 
but there is no way of telling how many 
have failed to do so. Each record must 
stand by itself, and Missy’s will stand 
upon the proof of its accuracy, sustained 
by the verdict of an impartial committee 
of experts and upheld by the decision of 
the court. john henry hammond. 
Ailing Cow; Rickets in Pig. 
1. I have a cow, I think 15 years old. At 
times she has a dry cough, and a white 
discharge runs from her mouth ; throat 
seems swollen. She eats very little hay, 
and drinks very little. I feed her whole 
corn ground with oats, gluten, bran, raw 
potatoes and mangels. At times she acts 
as though she would not eat those. She 
gives about four quarts of milk a day. Can 
you tell me what ails her? 2. I have a pig, 
six months old, which commenced to get 
stiff in hind legs and does not eat as well 
as it did. I feed on boiled potatoes, whole 
corn ground with oats, very little of it; 
middlings and bran, always scald feed well. 
Can you tell me what ails it? h. b. a. 
New Hampshire. 
1. There is good reason to suppose that 
the cow has tuberculosis. To determine this 
have her tested with tuberculin. Mean¬ 
while do not use her milk. 2. Overfeeding 
and lack of exercise induce such conditions. 
Give the pig its liberty out of doors. Feed 
on slop of milk and middlings, adding lime 
water at rate of one ounce to the quart of 
slop. As the pig improves a little corn- 
meal and ground (screened) oats may be 
added to the ration. A. s. a. 
Indigestion. 
I have a mare which of late has fre¬ 
quently been going off her feed. When in 
this condition, which is usually after a 
drive, her stomach becomes distended and 
she belches wind quite freely, although she 
does not seem to be in great pain, but 
she refuses to eat sometimes for 12 hours 
after bringing her in. Her bowels are quite 
regular, but the excrement is of an ex¬ 
tremely disagreeable odor. Until recently 
her daily rations consisted of about eight 
quarts of cracked corn and oats mixed 
equally and fed in three portions, which I 
have now reduced to six quarts, and at 
mid-day I divide the grain with bran. At 
night I give her a liberal portion of hay. 
About three times a week I throw a handful 
of table salt into her manger. j. k. 
New York. 
Allow free access to rock salt in manger. 
Stop feeding corn. Feed whole oats, adding 
one-fifth part wheat bran, and dampen the 
mixture. Give the drinking water before 
feeding. See that she is worked or abun¬ 
dantly exercised every day. Use baled 
shavings or sawdust if she eats her bedding. 
If belching continues, give in feed, twice 
daily, one-half ounce of granular hyposul¬ 
phite of soda. a. s. a.
