The fourth order has the escutcheon still smaller. The tufts alongside
the vulva are not so plain, but the hair is coarse and bristly. There is
a triangular invasion on the right of the escutcheon.
Cows of the fourth order give ten quarts and milk five months.

The Bastards of this class have a good escutcheon, but the tufts are
large and of coarse, bristly hair, and will fail according to the size.
The Eighth Class. Square Escutcheon.
[Illustration]
The first order of this class have the same yellowish color on the
escutcheon as other first orders; the udder is flexible, covered with a
short, fine down. The escutcheon is much of the shape of the Demijohns,
but the vertical, as it rises, branches square off to the left, and
ascends, straight and narrow, to the left side of the vulva. There are
two ovals on the udder. The more the square approaches the vulva, and the
finer the hair, the greater quantity is there of milk. Cows of the first
order give seventeen quarts, and milk eight months.
The second order have a similar escutcheon, only smaller in every way.
They have two ovals on the udder, and a small tuft to the right of the
vulva.
[Illustration]
Cows of the second order give fifteen quarts, and milk seven months.
[Illustration]
The third order have the escutcheon still smaller; the lines curving
downward at the corners; one oval on the udder, and the tuft to the right
of the vulva, larger and of coarser hair.
Cows of the third order give thirteen quarts, and milk six months.
[Illustration]
The fourth order have the escutcheon much smaller, the square is much
lower, and the upper part of it is formed of bristly hair, and feathery
looking; as is also the tuft to the right. On the right side of the
escutcheon is an invasion of triangular shape.
Cows of the fourth order give ten quarts, and milk five months.
[Illustration]
The Bastards of the eighth class are distinguished from those of the
first order by the tuft on the right, which is of coarse and bristly
hair, and the square terminates also in the same hair.
The Ninth Class. Limousines.
The escutcheons of this class, in ascending toward the vulva, do so in
the shape of a spire, but stop short about half way.
[Illustration]
The first order has the escutcheon of yellowish color, with flexible
udder, covered with hair downy and silky. The shape is the same as the
seventh and eighth class, except that the vertical escutcheon ends in a
sharp point, like a spire or arrow head. There are tufts along each side
of the vulva, and two ovals on the udder.
Cows of the first order give fifteen quarts, and milk eight months.
[Illustration]
The second order is similar in the escutcheon, but smaller, with but one
oval on the udder, and the vulva tufts larger, the left being longer than
the right.
Cows of the second order give thirteen quarts, and milk seven months.
