A Valuable Animal.

G. S. Fassett of the Vermont State
Agricultural college recently visited Hood
Farm, Lowell, Mass. and after careful
examination of tie fine Jersey stock, he
purchased for the State Farm the year
ling bull, mint 10th of Hood Farm" "
This bull has 81 ID per cent of the blood
of Merry Maiden, owned at Hood Farm,
the winner of the grand sweepstakes
award for the best individual COW against
all breeds. all three tests combined,
Worlds Fair dairy tests, Chicago, 1893.
He was shown last fall at the New Eng
land Fair and won first prize as best bull
under one year old and over six months.
Mint 10th traces three times to COmbina-
ton, the grandsire of Brown Bessie and
Merry Maiden, the two Hood Farm cows
that were the greatest winners in the
Worlds Fair Dairy tests. Brown Bessie
won the 90 and 30 days tests and made
more butter in day, week, a month,
and throughout the entire period of the
tests than any other COW in any breed,
and gave more milk during the tests than
any other Jersey, averaging over 40
pounds per day for the five months she
was at Chicago. The breeding of Mint
10th of Hood Farm, as will be seen, is
such as cannot be eXcelled, and grand
results may be expected from introduce
ing this superior blood into the herd at
the State Farm.
