the medium red are considered as combining the largest amount of
valuable qualities. The very dark red being less thrifty, and
generally hard handlers; while the very light red, with a thin
papery skin are less hardy in a cold climate. 1
ART. 20.--_Hair_, should be soft, thick and fine, and not much
curly. 2
ART. 21.--_Carriage_, this is an important quality in the Devon,
as he is destined for the yoke, as well as for the butcher. He
should shew by his sprightly active movements, and graceful gait,
that he is fitted for his proper place. 4
ART. 22.--_Quality_, on the thriftiness, the feeding properties,
the value of the animal depends: and upon the _touch_ or handling
qualities, rests in a great measure the graziers and butchers'
judgment. If the handling be good, some deficiency in minor
qualities may be excused; but if it be hard and stiff, nothing
can compensate for so unpromising a feature. In raising the skin
from the body between the thumb and finger, it should present a
soft, flexible and substantial feel, and pressed by the out
spread hand it should move easily with and under it, as if
resting on a soft, elastic, cellular substance, which becomes
firmer as the animal ripens. 15

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE
IN A
DEVON COW.
Purity of blood indispensable.
Points.
ART. 1.--_Head_, should be lean and bony; forehead wide and
somewhat dishing between the eyes; face straight but not long. 2
ART. 2.--_Nose_, of a light orange color; a black or mottled nose
should be rejected. 3
ART. 3.--_Eye_, should be bright, prominent and clear, surrounded
by a bright orange colored ring. 3
ART. 4.--_Ear_, thin, rather below medium size, orange color
within, with a quick movement, expressive of attention. 2
ART. 5.--_Horns_, light, tapering, of a waxy color, somewhat long
and spreading gaily towards the tips. 2
ART. 6.--_Neck_, clean in the throat, fine at the junction with
the head, and full at the shoulder. 2
ART. 7.--_Chest_, deep and round, carrying its fulness well back
of the elbows, thus affording abundant internal room for the
action of the heart and lungs. 6
ART. 8.--_Brisket_, full and round, spreading the fore legs well
at the junction with the body; not projecting, but forming a
regular slant, without dewlap, to the throat. 4
ART. 9.--_Shoulder_, in this breed is a beautiful and important
point, and should in a degree approximate to that of the horse;
with points less prominent and in a more sloping position than in
most other breeds, indicative of activity and good traveling
quality. 5
ART. 10.--_Crops_, full and even, forming a line with the
shoulder and back, extending well down the shoulder blade so as
to prevent a cavity between the shoulder and the barrel. 5
ART. 11.--_Back_, full, loin broad, with the short bones
extending full to the hoop ribs; hip bones wide and on a level
with the sacrum, and setting on of the tail. 8
ART. 12.--_Rumps_, broad, full, and well covered. 3
ART. 13.--_Escutcheon_, this should be broad, maintaining an even
breadth from the udder to the sacrum. 8
ART. 14.--_Quarters_, long, and well filled between the hip bones
and the rumps, with a good muscular development at a regular
slant to the hocks. 6
A pork ham objectionable.
ART. 15.--_Flanks_, moderately deep, full and mellow in
proportion to condition. 4
ART. 16.--_Legs_, fore legs of medium length, spread wide at the
brisket, straight, with well developed, round, muscular arm,
firmly knit at the knee, fine shank bone with large sinews,
drawing nearer together as they approach the feet; hind legs with
a gradual taper from the patella to the gambrel joint, which
should be wide, leg below, fine and flat, with large sinews,
forming an angle of thirty-three degrees, and moving in a
straight line with the fore legs. 5
Crooked knees or gambrels, causing an outward projection of the
feet, deduct 3.
ART. 17.--_Tail_, set on full and round, at a level with the
back, small in the cord, and finishing with a tassel of white
hair. 2
ART. 18.--_Carcass_ or _Barrel_, round and straight, its
posterior ribs springing nearly horizontal from the vertebra,
with less curve as they approach the posterior plates, with full
and well developed anterior plates covering deep the springing
rib. 4
ART. 19.--_Color_, always red, but of different shades. A medium
red should be preferred; the very dark red coming slower to
maturity, their beef of poorer quality, of less weight, and
inferior milking qualities; the light red less hardy, but claim
earlier maturity and superior beef qualities. Some white about
the udder is common to all the various shades, but confined to
that part alone. In all cases the color grows lighter about the
muzzle, while a color, verging almost to a black and growing yet
darker about the head, always was a very objectionable color for
the true North Devon, and when accompanied with a dark nose
should be rejected. 2
ART. 20.--_--Hair_, should be short, thick, and fine; even
throughout the body, and short about the head; a long, coarse
foretop, accompanied by harsh, wiry hair elsewhere,
objectionable. 2
ART. 21.--_Udder_, should be wide and well spread, projecting
well forward and back, wide between the teats but not hanging;
with milk veins large and extending well forward. 9
ART. 22.--_Carriage_, the Devons having, from their excellence in
the yoke, another destiny besides that of the butcher's block, it
is important that the animal's carriage should indicate as much;
to obtain this, something of the heavy, inert, squarely moulded
frame of the merely beefing animal must be relinquished for a
lighter and more active frame. 3
ART. 23.--_Quality_, to combine this with the other highly
important and characteristic properties of the Devon, requires no
small skill, observation, and care in the breeder. For without
this, in the eye of the experienced grazier and butcher, the
animal is considered nearly worthless. No beauty of form can
compensate for a hard, stiff feature, unyielding to the touch.
The skin should have, when pressed between the thumb and finger,
a mellow, yet substantial feel, and when beneath the outspread
hand it should move easily with it, back and forth, as though
resting on a soft, elastic, cellular substance, which becomes
firmer as the animal ripens, forming a beautiful marbled beef,
which is highly esteemed in the London market. 10
A thin papery skin is objectionable in a cold climate. ---

The foregoing Scale of Points of Devon Cattle which the Association has
adopted, is mainly that published by the New York State Agricultural
Society, with such alterations and additions as the Committee deemed
proper. The numbers affixed to the points described form the _maximum_
that is allowed for each; and in proportion as the animal under
examination is deficient in any point, so must the number be decreased,
even should nothing be allowed for that point. Points which are
characteristic, and therefore _common to the breed_, though very
valuable in themselves, are marked comparatively low, because they are
easily obtained, and demand but little attention on the part of the
breeder; nevertheless an animal _not_ possessing the characteristics of
_the breed_, must of necessity be almost worthless. On the other hand,
points of less value, which are characteristic _deficiencies_ in the
breed, or at any rate difficult to sustain at their maximum excellence,
are marked numerically high, as they go _far_ to complete the natural
excellence of the animal.
