back'-it is called atavism-by which
an animal shows some peculiarities that
have belonged 10 remote ancestor.
This, of course, will show equally in
both directions, for the produce of
superior animal may not equal the dam
or the sire, but the produce of that in
ferior animal may surpass in value
every one of its ancestry. And this is
point of great importance in fixing
the value of pedigree. For if the an.
cestrv has been exceptionally good, the
progeny will be good, and although
one animal may not reach the average,
yet Its descendants will be more than
likely to come up fully to the standard,
and may very possibly surpass it. For
