The Value Of the Percheron Ctud
Book of France.

1t contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about five thousand of
the best bred Percherons, and none
but the produce of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom. Like begets like or the likeness
OF some of its ancestors" From this
alone the most obtuse mind will readily
perceive that knowledge of those
ancestors is as necessary to the Sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of the
animal himself. Stud books are histo-
ries of the individuals of breed, anc
are, therefore, the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be, individually.
can only be ascertained by experiment.
This is the reason why animals of es-
tabliched pedigrees, tracing through q
line of excellent ancestry, always COM
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value Of
pedigrees, or opposing Improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives anu
should be regarded with suspicion.
