Originating, as rs supl-0~td by cmif-
nent authorities, on the coast al thts
continent neighboiing TO the island
whose uame they bear, this breed haes
ever been cherished and protected by
the inhabitants of fertile Jersey. Aa
civilization advanced IN the eighteenth
century, and ease of communications
became more general, the fame OF this
natiee breed spread, and the records
they were making, eveuin those early
times, astonished he then dairy world
From 1889, when the STATES Of jersey
enacted laws forbdding the importa-
ton OF foreign cattle from France, 10
the present day, the history of the
Jersey breed pl cattle is story OF
progress ane merit recognized. The
spirit ct emulation ana industry raised
among the Jerseymen has been the
means OF making their island place
OF no small impor ance.
The reasons for the so general
adoption OF the Jersey as the COW for
all purposes are numerous and impor-
tant. Along most lines the Jersey
has no superior. Quality and guam
tity OF butter product, small cost Oh
keeping, the ability to trace her pedi--
gree through many generations, these
are some OF the points in which the
Jersey is invulnerable. From being
called the "gentleman's COW" her SUI
periority has gradually asserted itsela
until, as dairy COW, such records are
register, d tor her as can be shown by
nc other known breed.
The idea is prevalent that the Jer~-
sey is COW only to be owned by the
wealthy cattle-breeder. No greatelx
mistake could be made. Economy
points TO the Jersey as The COW also
for him who uses but single head loE
family purposes. True, the original
expense may be somephat greatey fox

COW of common stock. But can we say
that it would be economy IN this age
