A JERSEY PEDIGREE. 
Noticing in The R. N.-Y. an interesting 
article on the male Jersey, I have inclosed 
two pedigrees of two males we own here, 
bred in Ohio, calved here last March. What 
do you think of them, and is it worth 
while to have them registered? There are 
none of that breed here. The males here 
are all small, red and scrub Jersey, every¬ 
thing that has a color of a Jersey is called 
full blood. What is meant by having some 
“in the list,” as you will see by the 
inclosed pedigree? Which of these two 
would you advise me to keep? h. m. w. 
Tennessee. 
The two Jersey pedigrees are both 
good. They both represent the “St. 
Lambert” family which was so popular 
twenty years ago; but which is not so 
much boomed at present. These young 
bulls were both sired by the same 
animal, so the “top line” is the same 
with both. The leading animal in this 
bull’s pedigree is “Melia Ann’s King,” 
a bull owned in New York State, and 
said to be worth $15,000. The value 
of this bull is based on his being in- 
bred to the cow “Melia Ann” that made 
over twenty pounds of butter in a 
week, and has shown great prepotency 
by the quality of her descendants. 
“Melia Ann’s King” also shows that he 
has inherited the good qualities of the 
old cow, by the heifers he has sired. 
The pedigree of “Earl King” is prob-

ably the best on the bottom line, the 
predominant animal of which is “Exile 
of St. Lambert.” This bull sired 94 
“in the list.” That is to say that he 
sired 94 cows that made 14 or more 
pounds of butter in a week. This bull 
was owned by another New York 
State breeder at the time when the “St. 
Lambert boom” was at its height, and 
this animal was given every opportunity 
to do his best. He was in a very large 
herd of the best cows that money 
could buy, and his heifers were given 
every care with the idea of putting 
them through the test if human skill 
could make them get there. 
Now the question comes up: What 
is a butter record worth in the pedigree 
of an animal? It may be worth a great 
deal, or it may be worse than nothing. 
It all depends on how the record was 
made. If the cow was a real butter 
cow that made her record under good 
dairy conditions, with such care as a 
good careful dairyman gives his cows, 
and such feed as a dairyman can profit¬ 
ably feed to his cows, then the record 
is worth a good deal. But if the cow 
was a mediocre animal; but happened 
THE RURAb NEW-YORKER 
tc be owned by some man who was 
booming a strain, or family, and was 
bent on getting every animal possible 
“through the test,” the chances are that 
the record means that the progeny has 
but little dairy inheritance, and a weak 
constitution. 
If I were going to keep one of these 
bulls for my own use, I should first 
consider the calf himself. The bull is

only valuable in proportion to the cattle 
be sires. If he is only a weakling, he 
is not worth keeping anyway, no mat¬ 
ter what his pedigree was. His calves 
will be 50 per cent, of his blood, so 
the bull himself is the thing to take 
most into consideration. Next, his dam 
should decide as to his worth as a sire. 
If one of these cows is a better cow 
than the other, I would keep her calf 
if he was individually as good as the 
other. But don’t keep a poor calf just 
because he had a good mother. If 
these calves are good, healthy speci¬ 
mens, they should both be kept for 
service in this community. They have 
been bred for a great many genera¬ 
tions for a butter inheritance, and 
should surely be worth more than 
“scrubs.” J. GRANT MORSE.

Sunday school teacher. This was fol¬

we call the thing that tells us when we

in the class.—Philadelphia Record.
