none Of them his superior aud some By no means
his equal in cost beauty OF breeding, are sta nd
ing at from 500 TO $780, but, looking 70 the fu-
ture h, and desiring 10 encourage the breeding OF
Jerseys in our Valley, 10 which Il is peculiarly
adapted, we have decided 10 permit hiln TO serve
limited number OF approved COWS 1873 each,
cash at time. ofssTyiee, COWS. viii receive same
care and attention as our own; charge for keep
ing, but they Will be at owners risk --- q
BY our system Of breeding We think that our
