In the breeding Of superb OF Aiphea Rex the
above strains are skillfuly crossed, so judi
ciously combined and SO harmoniously blended
as to insure the highest attanable results In color
form and butter producing qualities Many bulls,
none of them his superior and some by no means
his equal in cost beauty or breeding, are sta nd
ing at from SiVO to $3.50. but, looking to the fu-
ture and desiring 10 encourage the breeding OF
Jerseys in our Valley, 10 which il Is peculiarly
adapted, we have decided TO permit HIM to serve
a limited number Of approved cows at So each,
cash at time Of service, cows will receive same
ca re- and attention our own no cha &c for keep
ing but they will be at owners risk.
Nv our system Of breeding we think that our
friends can be reasonably sure Of obtaining heifer
calves
