served to the American breeder, by up
ward of forty years of devoted skill and
untiring application, to develop her to
her greatest capacity. AS result of his
systematic endeavors, the American-bred
Jersey of to-day is more than fifty per
cent. superior in butter-capacity to that
OF twenty years ago. We often hear of
the phenomenal record-breakers, which
show what highly-bed, specialized cow
may do under scientific high-pressure
systems of feeding, also the wonderful
progress our breeders have made in the
art of breeding for purpose; but the
greatest glory of the Jersey lies not in
these abnormal yields, wonderful though
they be, but in not less wonderful aver
ages ATTAINED in every Safe in our glori-
Gus Union.
THEIR VALUE.
A very important question to all stock
men Is, what breed OF cattle will make
the most milk, or butter, or cheese, or
beef ? or, to put it in other words, what
breed of cattle will make the most of the
product desired, at least cost ? Our test,
and the test OF all dairymen, OF the value
of a COW is the number Of pounds Of but
ter she makes on ordinary feed. The
dairy question is how to make the most
butter at the least cost, and our expe-
rience proves to us that the Jersey is the
answer 10 the problem; she is pre-emi-
nently the mortgage-lifter- A COW that
