This, gentlemen Of Montgomery coun-
ty, is proud record for Old Maryland,
and all breeders of Jersey cattle may
be proud to know that right at our own
doors VIC can find the best butter cattle
in the Union. Old Montgomery, with
fine water and rich valleys Of nutritious
grasses, with climate suited TO the
Jersey cows; situated right on the bor-
dcrs Of the Capitol of this grand Re-
public seems clearly to me to point out
to your farmers the road 10 prosperity
and wealth Old fogies may laugh and
croakers croak, but the time is close at
hand Montgomery is awake TO her own
interest, and we will soon see your grand
old bills covered with Jersey cattle.
Your young men appreciate the position
open to them, and will act; your fair
daughters and faithful wife claim re-
enumeration for their labor your house
hold is changing; your wife aud dauch-
ters claim the right to help you. Give
them chance, give them good cows
that will pay them, it will save money
for you and make them independent and
happy. Old Mcdlcy's already claims
some noted Splendid 2 and Pansy blood,
and much interest has been manifested
in them, and all agree that their present
owner displayed much wisdom in buy
ing them and selling his common cows.
This gentlemen, is II new departure, a
new era for you, and your farmers will
look into this matter Butter making is
no myth, it is solid reality that has the
mighty dollar in il. You may hesitate
to act, but in the end you will decide
