The Baat Breed of Cows.

a discussion has been Rolug on foi
some time between Nelson Warren, ol
White Clay Orsek Hundred, and s E
Nivtn, of Chester County, in regard to
the better breed of cows for dairy pur.
poses, Mr.. Warren favoring tho Fresian
and Mr. Hivin ohAmpioning the Jer-
seys. In the meantime the great mass
OF farmers pursue the even tenor OF
their way, buying q good cow when.
ever they can find one without regard
to breed. There Is certainly great room
for improvement In most OF the herds
tn.onr country, yet We do not believe
that ANY of the improved breeds have
proved more profitable than the COM
mon ones, except by the sale at high
prices to men who generally fall to
make Auy profit out OF them.
We know some dAirymen who keep
o large number Of COWS who hold tha,
the ordinary breed of COWS for giving
milk and making butter are Just as
profitable as any of the imported stock.
Good care and high feeding ara quite
ss important as the breed. For In
stance, Avenue COW of Mr., Whiteman,
of White Clay Creek Hundred, Is
doubtless equal, II not superior 10 any
OF the imported stock, and In the long
run will prove more profitable. 1t
would be Wise In him to raise her
calves, and see II he cannot ontrivAl
any ofthe higher priced herds.
