ED. JERSEY BULLETIN:
hand you herewith complete list OF
the buyers and prices realized at our sale
OF Oct. 14th and 10Th. The weather could
not have been more favorable, but the at
| tendance was very slim. and the purchas
ers were, chiefly, farmers of our own town
and of other towns in this section of the
State; therefore there was but little COM
petition and prices ranged so low that far
mers OF limited means were able to secure
much larger number of animals than
they expected They seemed much pleas
ed with their good bargains, and had good
reason to be. The young stock, brought
direct from their pastures the dav before
the sale, was in good, thrifty condition,
and it was more the real merit of the ami
mails than their peoigrees that seemed to
command the highest appreciation of the
buyers, who were invariably excellent
judges OF dairy stock. The impression
that prevailed among our farmers before
the sale was that the stock would sell at
figures much higher than they could af-
ford 10 pay. Consequently many were alb.
sent who would have been among the bid
ders had they supposed prices would range
so low.
The average quality OF the young stock
sold in this sale is of a very high order,
and while it would have been gratifying to
us to have had some OF the foremost
breeders in the country at the sale, to in
spect its merit and to see both sire and
dam of the animals sold, the result of the
sale-even at the very low prices realized,
is satisfactory, more especially as the farm
ers in our vicinity have been afforded an
opportunity to obtain the best of animals
for the foundation of Jersey herds.

"The Green Mountain herd has no su-
perior," are the first words in a private
letter to The Jersey Bulletin from prom
lnent Jersey breeder in the West. after a
visit to this well known Jersey farm, and
I he low prices reported by Mr.. Mo1lton
do not in the least detract from the value
OF the herd or the breed. The Green Noun |
tain folks did one of only two things to be |
done, sell where there is a market or ac- |
cept The nome market laade by the farm |
ers. They did the last, and while they saw |
their fine heifers selling far below their |
value, either as dairy animals or for breed |
ing purposes, Mr.. Moulton expresses his
satisfaction; satisfied that tt FINALS have
fallen into the hands of rio neienbor farm
ers, who, If they do not i, appreciate the i
jersey, will when the ONE better ac 1
qualnted; and whtl t. Ext annual sale |
