The Dairy.
THE PLACE FOR THE JERSEY

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER =
As a good deal of modern dairying
IS becoming specialized it may be
said that we will soon have special
breeds for certain lines of dairying
In a sense the Jersey breed represents
just such a speciality, and she can do
her best only when in her proper
place. 1t is a mistake to think that
the Jersey is the fancy dairyman' S
tDow and for the wealthy farmer who
goes into business largely for the
pleasure of it. Likewise it is far from
the truth to say that the Jersey is
suited to any dairy. This animal is
dairy where good food, good care and
scientific treatment are observed.
This presupposes an intelligent
knowledge of the needs of this parti-
cular breed The animal is not q
hardy or rough one, and it will not
stand neglect and abuse. Take fine
record breaking Jersey mixer and
turn her out to find living on rough
pasturage, and she will grow thin
and cadaverOus, and gradually de-
crease her yield of rich milk. She is
not adapted to such life. Neither
will she stand exposure to a rough
climate in any kind of weather. She
needs more protection and care. We
have COWS that will endure any kind
Of rough usage, food and weather,
and still seem to thrive. They are
suited to rough life, and to farms
where little attention is paid to
modern, careful methods of dairying.
But if a man has only enough stock
ITO occupy his time so that he can
give all the attention needed to each
animal the Jersey will probably give
breed.
We must understand that the Jer-
sey animals have been bred to the
point where all of their hardy and
rough qualities have disappeared
and in their high state of develop
ment they can give their best only
through good care and feed. The
man who buys a Jersey and expects
to turn it in the field with the rest Of
herd which is allowed to forage for
themselves will find in the end that
he has not improved matters much.
1t is possible that the Jersey will
yield less milk and cream under such
conditions than many of the other
animals We must take the Jersey
and put her and keep her in the right
place She must have food adapted
to her high-strung, Carefully-bred
nature she must receive protection
from rough and violent weather, and
she must be treated with some con-
sideratiOn as to her nerves and ply
sical strength. Surround the Jersey
with the right circumstances and en-
virOnments, and she will prove a
paying investment, but neglect her
needs and she will prove a loss.
