Mr., Samuel j. Sharpless, of Phila-
delphia, Pa, and is a daughter of
his imported ''Cyrene 137," which
received the second premium at the
Centennial, as best female Jersey
of any age. Next comes her sister
"Cyrene 4th, 480." a cow of a more
square build, and somewhat larger
milking capacities, and in color
fawn and white. Both these Cy-
rene COWS have beautifully crumpled
horns of the most approved pat
terms. Then comes "Nonparlel I'd,
1413," dark fawn cow with dark
face. nearly solid color, very black
horns, and, in reality, is the most
snowy COW in the herd. She, also,
was bred by Mr.. SharpIess, and is
out of his imported sire and dam.

light fawn, with full black points,

promising breeder, as is evidenced in

bred by Mr.. Beal, out of his Cyrene
4th cow. This heifer has a very
large udder and teats, and promises
to be the best mixer of the herd.
What is remarkable, she gave milk
six months prior to the birth Of her
first and only calf. The last, but
net least, Of the COWS, comes "Blon
dine, 2749." noble grand daughter
of that noble old COW, imported
'Niobe, &c." which received the first
award at the Centennial, as best fe-
male Jersey Of any age. Bondine
is fawn and white, with an extra
large udder and teats, and the lar
gest milk veins ever saw on cow
of her size, and Mr.. Beal S. ates, as
her appearance indicates. that she
is the largest milker of the herd.
She is a continuous mixer, and
gave three quarts of milk the morn
ing of the day that she had her last
calf. am informed that BIondine
is the only grand daughter of that
famous COW, Niobe 80, in the State

South. This alone makes her a val.
