1ERsEYs AND. ,AYRsHIREs.-Thc cor
respondent of tho Ne,vs and Courier,
writing Of the Chester fair, says:
"Somc Of the citizens Of Chester and
Fairfield have for number Of years
devoted their attention to the faising
Of blooded cows. The Ayrshires were
ut first the fuvoritcs. They were
'crackcd up by Gen. John Bratton,
and whatever the General says is COLI
sidcrcd law and GOSPEL III this his
immediate stamping ground. But the
General, like many others, is fickle--
at least in the cow linc-and although
he still holds that the Ayrshircs are
the best mixers in tho world he yet
thinks that tho Jerseys ard the best
butter cows. General Bratton has
devoted time and money to tho raising
of cattle, and it is due to his efforts
mainly that this part of the country is
being stocked with thoroughbred cat
Tie. Capt. John L. Agurs is General
Bratton's echo in Chester, and he has
done for Chester county what Bratton
has done for Fairfield. His contribu-
ton of. Ayrshires and Jerseys is
second best to none on the grounds"
