JERSEY STOCK.
Their Excel 'ence as Good Butter
YielderS.

The annexed letter shows that Utah
is advancing slowly and surely in her
dairy products. Good butter is very
scarce article on the market here. 1t is
claimed to be impossible to make good
butter during grass. season for winter
use, the alkai in the grasses spelling all
chances of the butter keeping any length
OF time. Nine years ago Mr.. Jno. w.
Young gave this question serious
thought and brought 13 head OF JERSEYS
to this country, along with the best
strains OF blooded horses and great credit
is due him for the improvement in bo tn
stock and dairy products. That the
Jersey strain improved the quality as
well as increased the quantity of butter
no doubt IS entertained, still there is
room for improvement in the general
| supply. Mr.. Amos Howe deserves great
credit for the good he is doing the coun-
try In importing registered Jerseys. He
has imported two more lately one of
them direct from the jersey lies. He
takes the Jersey Bulletin, a paper pub
llshed III Indiana devoted entirely to the
Jersey interest and has read up on the
different processes of making good
butter even IN the winter time, and now
thinks ne can demonstrate it to the peo-
pie and has sent for a small creamery
10 try the experiment of making butter |
on the most improved plan, which will |
shortly be here and viii then test the |
capacity of ms Oldest Jersey COW, which |
was brought here among the first i'm |
portatlon, nine years ago.
Here is the letter:
Mr.. Amos Howe, of the firm of Davis |
Howe d Co., foundry and machine |
shops, devOtes a great deal of his spare
time to raising good stock. He takes
great pride in his Jerseys, takes the Bul-
tetin regular, and by its help has secured
some OF the best stock in the country.
He has purchased three very fine we'll
bred helters, all served to first class bulls.
But one OF them has not, as vet arrived
