Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guenon on Milch Cows: A Treatise Upon the Bovine Species in General, Translated From the Last Edition of F. Guenon The Version in English of Guenon's Treatise through which his system became known to American Breeders, Dairymen, and others, was Mr. Trist's translation, made more than thirty years ago, from the first French edition, published long before the Author had completed his observations and studies. To its incompleteness and consequent defects may be attributed much of the lack of appreciation with which the system has met. For its fair and intelligent discussion an accurate knowledge of its Authors mature conclusions is requisite. This the Translator offers as his contribution. As there are no infallible external signs of milk-giving capacity, exceptions will be met with; but as Mr. Mackie has observed: "A cow having originally a natural capacity for copious milk-giving may by some cause, perhaps altogether unknown, be converted at an early age into a very moderate milker, and yet retain all the external signs of good dairy quality. The head may remain small, her throat clean, her neck thin, her body wedge-shaped, her tail long and slender, etc., etc., and yet the yield of her udder be greatly reduced by some of the causes above alluded to, whether known or unknown.
