PENSACOLA, July 6, 1899.
During a recent visit to the beautiful
and grand old capital, Tallahassee, justly
called "The Floral City" the writer took
occasion to visit several prominent places
and points of interest in that pretty sec
ton. Among his cred letter days" was
one spent on Capt w. |. Nason's est.
Lambert Jersey Farm an inspection of
which richly repaid the trip.
THE JERSEYS.
Reaching the farm at an earl y hour in
the morning the writer, in company with
the proprietor, at once proceeded to the
pasture grounds to see this famous herd
of registered Jerseys.
OsCEoLA-My attention was first di-
rected to the "king Of the herd Os-
ceola of St Lambert. Individually and
in breeding he is by common consent a
superb bull, without superior, and,
since the death of Campbell Browns ia
nous Tormentor,' without an equal in
age he is two years old and past, having
been calved May 9TH, 1887 in color he
is solid cream and weighs, on foot, 600
pounds; in disposition he is kind and
tractable, loves to be petted and follows
his master like dog. He was sired by
Eden's Prince Pogis, the latter by Prince
Pogis, a son of the great Mary Anne of
St. Lambert, which made butter record
Of thirty-six pounds in seven days. Mary
Anne was sold just one month ago at the
American Institute, at an assignee's sale,
for So, 100, while her daughter, Mary
Anne Pogis, brought $4,000, and a six
months old bull calf sod for 81, ZOO.
The St. Lambert is the most famous Jer-
sey family in the world and Capt. Vason
values Osceola at $4,000, though he is
not for sale at any price. Bluff Pearl.
the dam of Osceola, is granddaughter
of =" Champion Of America" which stands
third on the list of famous bulls, and who
has record Of twenty daughters that
have tested, officially, from seventeen to
twenty pounds of butter each, IN seven
days. AS yet Osceola has but two daugh-
ters, Osceolna and Bohemian Girl, both
grand types Of their sire, but the future
has in store great name for this magnifi-
cent animal
LErnE-Next comes the "Qneen of
the Herd" Lettie of St. Lambert, a per
feet image of wild deer and as delicately
limbed and graceful in movement as a
gazele. She is a sister by sires of Osce
ola, and is solid fawn in color; she is not
yet two years old, but is giving two gal
Ions Of milk day, which tests so per cent
cream, and this without ever having had
calf. Lettie is a grand-daugh Of
"Lord Harry" sire of EItheel I'd, who
tested thirty-one pounds Of butter in sew
en- days, at two and half years of age.
These two animals are very perfect types
of Jersey, and to see them alone the adj
mirer Of fine stock is we'll repaid for his
visit.
BLUFF PEARL-This greatly admired
cow is the dam of OSceola and is now
yielding four gallons of milk daily, hav-
ing also made a record of sixteen pounds
of butter in seven days, with her second
calf She is large, angular-shaped COW,
with a high order of nervous organization
and sparkling bright eyes.
EDEN OF ST.. LAMBERT-This is a beau
tiful silver gray, with delicate markings
and tiny horns, a perfect beauty, with a
hide loose, rich and mellow, and she is as
kind as a kitten. She is grand daughter
of Pedro,' who was a son of the great
COW Eurotus
JERSEY BELLE OF LEoN-This splen-
did young COW would command attention
anywhere She is dark fawn in color,
and, although but two years old, has now
her first calf and is giving daily three
gallons of cream-rch milk. On her sire's
side she represents the blood Of "Cham-
pion Of America" and on her dams side
the great COW "Oonan," which made
famous the herd of NJ c. Campbell, of
Spring Hill, Tenn.
EDEN's LAssTE-A heiter of rare beauty,
and, when grown, will be the image of
her dam, Eden. Though only ten months
old, she has now wonderful udder devel-
opments and she will doubtless be a
grand COW.
THE BLUCHERS.
These cattle all bear a strong family
likeness to old Rosalie, now fifteen years
old, but which, with nine of her daugh-
tiers and nddaughters, appears good
for several more calves. She has already
netted more than 81 500 in cash to her
owners. The Butcher Sisters, Molly and
Maggie, in point of elegance, shapeliness
and markings, are hard to equal and can
scarcely be told apart, even by their
owner They are both solid fawn in
color, and just one year old.
There are many more celebrities in
this herd-thirty eight registered Jerseys
in all, whose merits the writer could
dwell upon at length and any of which
would attract attention and command
ready sale But the list is too long for a
