thoroughbreds, including the COW
Julia of Brightside, large, strong
COW, showing good dairy qualities;
she was not in the best show shape,
being dry. The breeding is of the
old line pedigrees. Daisy of Clover
Lawn, an extra good year old, of
the lie Brocq Prize strain, is one of
the best show animals on the ground.
This heifer is great mixer and it is
impossible to get any fat on her, as
all food seems to 60 to milk. Daisy

butter in seven days on dry feed.

Coomasie bull owned by Clover Lawn

side, a well bred fellow, and good
one for some one to buy who desires
to breed dairy stock. A three quarter
blood year old and a seven eighths
blood heifer calf are both good ami
mails, the year old having made Q
pounds II ounces of butter in seven
days. All in all the display is a good
one.

Prize, winner of first prize as best
bull on the island of Jersey, and out

quality This firm also exhibit the
