True Value OF Pedigre-s.

A good long pedigree tracing back
through a good family Is valuable in an
animal and shows that his ancestors
have been well bred. have descended
from good stock, and have had good
blood in their veins. This does not
necessarily show, however. that the in
diyidual under consideration is a good
individual; 1t raises the presumption
that he Is, but still he might be a scrub
individual and never should be
used for breeding purposes.-Mldland
