INFRIEsIAN NAMES.
An Effort to Get Rid of the Cumoer-
some Cognomens.

Bovine nomenclature is SUBJECT
which ordinarily does not interest the
public outside the owners and breed
ers of cattle, but in the case Oh the
Uolstein. Friesians the names have be
come so VIGOROUSLY cumbersome ana
unpronouneeable that any effort TO re-
form the system of names is worth
more than merely passing notice ouch
reform is now being advocated by
the Holstein- Friesian association OF
America. Of which Frederick Il.
Houqhton of Brattleboro is secretary
In no other breed of cattle do the
individual animals have such inter
minable names, and the system IS
growing apace. The reason is that
Under the present rules of the associa'
ton no breeder is allowed 10 use d
name that is already in use, IN otner
words. no two animals shall have tine
same name and as all the common
names are in use the breeder is forced
70 select uncommon ones Hence such
names as Pietertie Maid of Crow
Johanna. MAY Hartog Pauline De kol,
Houwtie Pietertie De Kol Albino, Sir
Netberland Soldene, Clothilde, Aaggie
Cornucopia Pauline, jamie Henger'
weld Korndyke and the like. Most
breeders endeavor to indicate the
breeding by the names, and in gen
eral wav they succeed in dong SO.
Names are limited in length to 81
letters, but the entire number are used
in many instances. Many times
farmer is unable either to remember
or to pronounce the names OF ms cat
tle. He has their ears tagged win
numbers which answer ordinary pur-
noses but il it becomes really neces-
sarv for him to know their names he
has to look them up in some BOOK for
some time it has been realized that
such unwieldy names were against the
material advancement of the breed,
and the subject was discussed at some
length at the last annual meeting OF
the association. At that time propo-
sion was made to limit each name TO
90 letters.
Thursday Mr.. Houghton said that
agitation already had begun to have
results. He said that there would un,
doubtedly be a more general use OF
family and herd names and that he ex'
pected to see farm names used as pre-
fixes to very large extent. The ap'
plication Of names to farms is becom
ing general throughout the country
and in some states provision is MADE
for the registration of farm names. BY
using the name of farm as prefix
breeder would be able to give his cat
tie simple names. The prefix woulC
belong to the originator and if an AMI
NAL was transferred to a new owner
|, it's progeny would be known by dr.
ferent prefix. One of the incidenta
. results Of this system of naming
would be to simplify the work Of reg
istering the stock. There are now OF
file in Mr.. Houghton office, und oel
card index system, about l7o,oo'
names of registered Holstein- friesians
It is no small task to register new
herd and be sure that no name Il
! duplicated, but by the use of sys
,, tenn of farm name prefxes this worn
would be materially lessened.-Brat
