Why is it that a COW very much

of the meat or miIk points which
farmers are wont to admire, has
come to outrank the native four or
five to one, and TO stand on an
equality with any thoroughbred in
the world? 1t is because the >Jer-
sey 10 The most profitable producer
OF the best butter that the folio owing
claims are to day admitted by those
who have most fairly and thorouh
ly Investigated the merits OF this
breed.
1. The Jersey is thoroughbred
and possesses as fully as any the
thoroughbred's capacity to respond
to feed beyond the amount required
for the daily repairs of the wastes
of the body, and will make this ex-
ira return in butter as surely a. the
shorthorni will make it in beef or
the Ayrshire in milk. els
2. The Jersey, being q thorough
bred, can be depended upon to
transmit, in breeding,in most cases,
the good qualities Of one parent, in
many cases those OF both parents,
and very often the best qualities Of
remote as we'll as immediate ances-
tors. M y4T -sf-rf- ae-
3. The Jersey produces the best
butter. The butter globule has a.
larger average size in Jersey milk
than in that OF any other breed, and
in consequence of this larger glob
ule the cream rises quicker and
hence is exposed a much shorter
time to the air and injury from fer
mentation, odors and dust, and re
quires in deep setting the use of
fewer tins and less ice and labor.
The larger globule has q thinner
envelope, and consequently churns
quicker than the cream of other
breeds and is better adapted to all
varieties of churDs. The larger size |
of the globule gives better text
ure or grain to Jersey butter than
that of any other breed. The color |
OF jersey butter is better the year |
round, and on all kinds OF food, |
than that of any other breed except
the Guernsey; G. and though the |
Guernsey equals the Jersey in this
it falls far behind in that
more important element-texture't
of grain. The butter of these two
breeds has not only a higher color,
but a more sprightly flavor than
that of any other .5l .e5gd |
4. The Jersey makes more butter
in proportion to her size and feed;
having smaller body she has Just
so much less to build up from
