ANCESTRY. Under the heading “ Dentil of a Itrilliant Cow.’ ’a liovine oliituarv occurs iu many papers. The lady’s ancestry is traced hack to remote degrees of consanguinity, and her performnces as a mother of calves who reached emi- ! lienee in their profession are shown in | detail. It occurs to one that we human beings are more modest iii our written obituaries, but that this branch of art might be stimulated by persusal of cow literature. A citizen dies, and bis passing is recorded without any real reference to liis family tree. It would be interesting to trace the ancestry of our best-known people as far as history serves. You get intriguing illumination in cow obituaries such as “ the j late cow Milkmaid was the mother of j the celebrated bidl Skim Dick, on whom I the famous Creampuff herd was liuilt” : lint in recording the death of Mr Pink | you are not nearly so indicative. It is a branch of art that might easily ho developed, and in the tracing of ancestry we New Zealanders would ultimately lie convinced that we are not a spontaneous breed, owing our qualities of blood, bone, hair and capacity to the places where the cows come from.— Auckland Star.
