the American Jersey Cattle Club

| is the etiitor of that brig Int and fighting
paper, the Davenport (Ia.) Democrat,
/ is Democrat himself and has been
one in the days when it required
some courage in the Northwest to be
one. He is bringing the same execu-
of his favorite, the Jersey cow, that
he hiss always shown in his manage
ment OF Iowa campaigns, and it is
safe to say the Jersey men could have
found no aber leader
Col. Richardson was found in his
room at the Bethel House, together
with two other members of the COM
mittee who were in close conversa-
ton with Messrs. w. J. Webster and
JnO. Moore, Jr., well known Jersey
breeders of the county. "Please ex-

the UuIted States are determined to

COW is Pre-eminenJly the dairy COW OF
the country. The American Jersey
Cattle Club has appropriated all the
money necessary, and the many
herds of the country are being criti-
caily examined by the committee to
select the best COWS for a competitive
test of the different breeds. 1t will
probably be a test OF considerable
length and will be conducted Oh the
grounds. The Jersey men are anX-
iOus for a good lengthy test, for they

year in and out. AT present we are
only selecting the cows which will |
have the honor of being in that test. |
"Eue, sir, the competition will be |
very hot; there are the Holsteins, |
Ayeshires, DevOps and others that |
will compete for the hOnOrs. None |
of these are idle. But it takes work |
to accomplish anything you know, |
and the Jersey men are working |
hard"
"How do you find the Jersey cattle
here, COionel?"
I'm good shape and their breeders

some very fine herds in this county" |
"By the way, Colonel, how are the |
Democrats of the Northwest getting
along?n
"Oh, we are well organized and pre-
pared for good hard fighting. In my
own State, Iowa, we are in better

"HOw about Hill pr
The Colonel smiIed-"The very
weakest man we could put up. We
