= The KERRY Cow - Vernet, the sketeher,
writes to the american Stock Joacr31a{, pub
lished at Gum Tree, Penn, as follows 1918
II know the Kerries well among their
natMesheaths and hills, in the suburbs of
London, and the surroundings of almost all
English towns, and few in the United
States They are small, hardy, healthy,
perfectly peaceful race of animals, 1capable
of cropping out living, and keeping in
good heart and fair flow Of milk upon such
rough chance food as viii subsist a goat.
Besides these qualities, theyIlittle heed any
vicissitudes of wealth, r. 3 during with per-
feet impunity storms which would put
many of our fancy, full-blood and grade
COWS on the retired list, always maintain
ing the supply Of milk, better, under all
adverse conditions, than any other cows i
have ever seen. Gentleland dpcile in dis
position, the Kerry. COW pets as amiably as
a lamb, and in this respect has noiequal,
either as dairy or a family mixer They
continue in milk to great age, make very
excellent tender beef, and are more easily
fattened than any other breed ofrcattle of
which Il have any knowledge Al barn
yard beauty the. Kerry COW, certainly is
not; but her many good qualities veil all
personal appearances. AT the presewt
time there is q Kerry cow owned by
chance, by d mechanic, living in Brandy
wine village, Wilmington, Delaware, that
fol. sixteen consecutive months after com
ing in fresh, averaged thirteen quarts per
day of milk, that was in reality more like
rich cream, and would make twelve pounds
of very superior buttef-per week. And
the little black, crumpled horned, bob
tailed goat-looking Kerry performed this
service on o diet of ordinary pasturage,
marsh hay, and a quart or two Of ordinary
slop twice a day to "toll ," her up to be
MIXED After the Kerries, my next choice
/ for all dairy purposes YOU'D be the.sinall,
sleek, handsome COWS of Brittany. l have
an intimate personal acquaintance with
them also, and shall be pleased to present
some of their claims if permitted an oppor-
tunity. al
