About This Book

The guide presents a practical adaptation of Guenon's method for judging dairy cattle by external physical signs, focusing on the classification and interpretation of escutcheon marks as indicators of milk yield and quality. It explains the theory behind the markings, reproduces illustrative plates, and offers step-by-step instructions for assessing individual animals. The volume includes results and recommendations from official trials and guidance for applying the system in selection, breeding, and farm practice. Lectural material and suggestions for teaching the method to agricultural audiences complete the practical presentation.

LECTURES ON THE GUENON SYSTEM.

The author of this work having been invited to lecture a number of times before agricultural societies, and being constantly in receipt of letters of inquiry about repeating his lectures, takes this public opportunity to announce that he will make arrangements to repeat his lecture on the Guenon system, illustrated with a series of large drawings. Correspondence is solicited with officers of agricultural societies, granges, agricultural fairs, colleges, farmers’ clubs, and dairymen’s associations. His principal object being to disseminate widely a knowledge of a system of such great value to his brother farmers, the terms will be satisfactory.

At each lecture practical illustrations and instruction is given in the barn-yard or field. Address him at
