In the breeding Of superb Of Aiphea Rex the
above strains are so skillfully crossed, so judi
ciously combined and so hamoni0usly blended
to insure the hie hest attainabe results In color
form and butter producing qualities. Many bulls,
none Of them his superior aud some by no means
his equal, in cost, beauty or breeding are sta nd
ing at from sIUU to 500, but, looking to the fu-
ture, and desiring to encourage the breeding OF |
jerseys in our Valley to which i is peculiarly
adapted, we have decided to permit HIM to serve
a limited number Of approved cows at$-5 each,
cash at time Of service, cows viii receive same
care and attention our own; no chaI &c Tor Keep
ing, but they will be at owners risk.
BY our system Of breeding we think that cur
friends can be reasonably sure Of obtaining heiier
calves:
