POINTS OF The j. RSEY COW.
Prize Essay, by ]. M. Meyer, M D., AM.
For more than two hundred years
the Jersey has ex.s-ed as a distinct
race Of cattle. The leading uses of the
cattle races may be stated thus: milk,
cream, butter, cheese, meat, tallOw.
hides, hair and horn. 1t is natural
thaE that animal or class of animals
yielding the bert of results would at
tract the attention of an observing
world, and sooner or later become no
tOriou3 in some department of uses
Such has been the demonstrated fact
IN the instance Of the Jersey COW. The
dairy Is + leading feature IN this cate
CORY OF uses, and she is pre- emlnentIy
the dairy COW.
Her habitat is the Jersey Island, a
dependency Of Great Britain Isolated
