CATTLE.
Among the cattle, too, the display OF which
was large, there were animals of high and
renowntd lineage in the less ornamental if not
less useful branch of farm life. There were
mild-eyed Jerseys, famous for rich milk and
golden butter; black and white Holstens
great as milk producers, giving So much
milk that the dairyman who has them in
his hero, can dispense with the necessity oil
watering his milk, since his HolsteiDs will
yield him full supply in the natural way
Then there were grades, which TO practical
eyes, had all the qualifications desired fol-
family cows, but not Boosting of any particu.
lar pedigree Their value was somewhat
lessened in selling, but not for everyday use
