lucky and Michigan, at almost fabu-
lous prices, for shipment 20 the
island of Jersey by one of the princi'
pal breeders there; one a yearling
heifer, in calf by Coomasie bull,
for which the gentleman in charge,
Mr.. McLouth, told US they paid
Sa,75o; and there was an Alpha bull
two years old, for which S3,sa5 was
paid and $4,000 was refused after he
reached Montreal. The herd was
certainly a valuable one and when
landed on the Island of Jersey the
cost will exceed $4,000. There was
also on board 3 Bates Short Horn
heifers of the Port Huron stock and
bull of the same strain, bred by a
noted breeder at Lexington, KY. for
which gentleman told US, the ship
per had paid over $4,000, but he did
not know the exact figures. The
Caucasian was loaded largely with
wheat and cheese from "the states"
and had a passenger list of nearly
100 cabin passengers, these being
mostly citizens of the u. S.
We also crossed over the Victoria
bridge with letter to Mr.. R. c.
Stevens, of St. Lambert, the noted
Jersey breeder of Canada, to see his
herd of Jerseys. These were sad
disappointment. He has about a
dozen Jersey heifers or young cows,
all light cream color, except one
yearling, fawn and white, and a
$1,000 three year old Jupiter" bull,
but there was not one of the herd
for which we should have been will
ing to pay 500, except one import
ed two year old heiter, for which a
SIoo was paid on the Island Of Jer-
sey, but which was far from being
what in Michigan would be called a
first class animal. The bull was in
no way the equal of the one owned
by Mr.. Monkey, and I do not believe
Monkey would exchange animals
with him without being paid quite a
difference. If there are no better
Jerseys in Canada than those owned
by MIR. Stevens, we do not wonder
that Mr.. McLouth selected those he
was exporting, from the herds in the
states.
