NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
“The whole system is very clearly laid down, so that any one, by practice
and study, may learn from this work how to use it. The arguments for and
against are also set forth, with proofs of the value of the system. Our
dairymen would do well to study the subject and be able to guess as well
as the members of the commission on the value of the cows examined by
them.”—_American Dairymen._
“In itself, the system is very simple, and, with care, easily understood;
and, taking into consideration its great importance, should be studied
and acquired by all who are directly or indirectly interested in farming,
and as so many opportunities are offering to obtain a practical knowledge
of the method, there can be no excuse for ignorance any longer. The
system of judging the value of cows has become so thoroughly arranged
that with a little practice, enough can be learned from it in a short
time to serve any one making use of it, and thereby avoiding loss.
“The bulls are found marked with corresponding designs, as far as the sex
permits, which indicate unerringly their good and poor qualities; and
thus by a wise use of the knowledge acquired through the Guenon method,
stock breeders can judiciously, and with almost certainty, select their
cattle for the purposes in view, either for milking, butter-making,
or beef, according to their desire, for all these results follow its
teachings.”—_State Fair Daily._
“Mr. Hazard has given us a most interesting work upon a system that
has gained the respect and consideration of thinking farmers the world
over.”—_Farm and Fireside, Springfield, Ohio._
