In the breeding Of superb Of Aiphea Rex the
above strains are so sEilliuly crossed, so judi
ciousy combined and SO tremendously blended
to insure the hie hest attansb.e 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 breeding, are sta nd
ing at from $40 to $3.50, 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 10 permit hiln TO serve
q limited number of approved COWS att 10 each,
cash at time of service, cows viii receive same
care and attention our own; no cha &c FOR keep
ing, but they will DO at owners risk.
BY our system Of breeding We think that our
friends eau be reasonably sure Of obtaining heller
calves; Il
