GUERNSEY CATTLE AT HOME. 
On the first page is a good picture of 
a Guernsey cow at home on the island. 
At Fig. 163 is a picture of a young calf, 
also on the island, who fought the idea 
of having his picture taken as hard as 
a prisoner would do. The Guernsey 
cattle are becoming very popular in this 
country for they are superior dairy ani¬ 
mals and have the ability to yield rich, 
high-colored milk. They are larger and 
more rugged as a rule than Jerseys, and 
are in great demand to introduce super¬ 
ior blood into a dairy herd. The Island 
cattle have been well kept up and prices 
are high for good specimens. Our en¬ 
gravings are made from photographs 
taken in Guernsey. American breeders 
are interested in knowing how Guern¬ 
seys bred and handled on this side of 
the ocean differ from the Island cattle. 
We get an idea of this from part of 
an article written for the Guernsey 
Weekly Press by Dr. James E. Rus¬ 
sell : 
“There are some 6,000 cows on the 
island, but they make little show except 
on days when a shipment leaves for 
America. One may drive half a day 
and see a hundred or two. They are 
tethered in the fields in herds of four 
to eight; rarely does one see more than 
ten or twelve altogether. Bulls and 
young stock are stabled most of the 
year. But if all were in view the land¬ 
scape would not be crowded. It would 
seem as if many more might profitably 
be kept, but the Guernsey farmer 
knows his business best. On land 
worth $1,500 an acre, an American is a 
poor judge of what constitutes profit¬ 
able farming. The fact that so many 
cows are kept shows the value of dairy¬ 
ing in producing highly specialized 
crops. 
“It must not be supposed that the 
Guernseyman possesses any supernatur¬ 
al powers in stock-breeding. His skill 
in getting a living from the soil is phe¬ 
nomenal but his development of a dis¬ 
tinct breed of dairy cattle is largely ac¬ 
cidental, not to say incidental to other 
pursuits. The isolation of the island 
has helped him by making it difficult and 
expensive to make importations. For 
many years it has been illegal to make 
any admixture of foreign blood. The 
breed has grown up, Topsy fashion, un¬ 
der the eye of people sensitive to beauty 
of form and color and keen to see the 
value of economic production of milk 
and butter. But the Guernsey farmer 
is not a scientific breeder; with him 
stock-breeding is an instinct, not a sci¬ 
ence. Left to himself he would per¬ 
petuate the old Guernsey type—the cow 
that gives the yellow butter; she would 
be meek and mild; loose-jointed, 
wedge-shaped, thin skinned and reeking 
with yellow fat. The American fashion 
has set up a standard in form and 
hacked it with the American dollar. 
The Guernseyman bows to the inevitable 
in matters of udder conformation, in 
line of back, and color of nose, but no 
kind of persuasion can shake his belief 
in the value of yellow butter. It is a 
standing joke that the butter of a well- 
known breeder is off color. “Just take 
a look in at the shop window where it 
is offered for sale and see for yourself,” 
is the advice I have received a dozen 
times within the last two weeks.. Time 
was—and not so long ago either—when 
Guernsey cows ranged in color from 
solid black through all shades of yellow 
to white, but the English and American 
fashion has changed all that. The black 
gave way to the brindle, and the brindle 
has been absorbed by the yellow. The 
result is the prevailing fawn which will 
abide till the fashion changes.” 
Maine Sheep Breeders. —Believing that 
the fence problem constitutes one of the 
greatest handicaps to the sheep business in 
New England, the Maine Sheep Breeders’ 
Association at the annual meeting in Madi¬ 
son, March 15, voted unanimously to ask 
the next Legislature for an amendment 
which would recognize as legal fences only 
such structures as constitute effective bar¬ 
riers against horses, cattle and sheep. 
Special premiums for the purpose of in¬ 
teresting the boys in sheep will also be 
urged upon the various fair associations 
of the State. An invitation to hold a meet¬ 
ing in Portland next Fall was accepted, 
and an effort will be made to have in con¬ 
nection with this a fat stock show with 
slaughter test. The secretary’s report 
showed a gain of 15 in membership during 
the past year, and the treasurer reported 
a substantial increase in the cash on hand. 
Officers for the ensuing year were elected 
as follows: President, Edgar E. Gifford, 
Bowdoinham; first vice-president. Leon S. 
Merrill, Orono; second vice-president. Ches¬ 
ter K. Hamlin, Wilton ; secretary and treas¬ 
urer, Ernest Hilton, Starks; executive com¬ 
mittee, the president, secretary aud Hor¬ 
ace P. McLaughlin, Farmington Falls;
