The Breeders of Jersey Cattle-They
Are to Get Together and Form an Associa-
tion;-Mr. Asa B. Gardiner, Jr., manager of
the Filston Farm Company. Glencoe, Balti-
more county, has inaugurated a movement for
the organization in Maryland of a Jersey
Cattle Club, the membership to be made UP Of
owners Of registered cows of this breed and its
objects to be to advance the interests of the
Jersey COW, to promote good fellowship among
the breeders of Jerseys and to follow such
other lines as may seem most advisable to the
membership. MIR. Gardiner has extended q
call for meeting of these breeders to be held
at Timonium fair grounds, at 2 o'clock on the
afternoon of September 9Th, during the pro-
gress OF the Baltimore County Fair, that event,
in the opinion of Mr.. Gardiner, being most
likely 10 attract large number of persons, and
particularly those interested in high. bred stock.
Maryland boasts a number of excellent
herds OF this valuable breed, and it is believed
that an organization as proposed will result in
the addition of many more to the list and the
improvement of those already here.
The first Jersey herd owned in Maryland
was the property of the late Samuel NJ Shoe
maker, Of Burnside" who at an expense of
thousands of dollars imported the nucleus of
hero which for years was the pride of the
owner, and, indeed, of pridegenerally
to owners and admirers of fine stock in the
State This forerunner of Jersey herds was
not long the only one owned here, and the
NUMBER has steadily grown until perhaps
hundred individuals and dairy farms boast the
possession of registered Jerseys
DEFINITE plans have not been formed, but
before the date set for the meeting Mr.. Gardin-
er will have given consideration to necessary
details and is sanguine that the plan will sue
ceed. Those who have been asked to become
members have at the same time been requested
to offer any suggestions and the plans viii, as
finally completed, meet as far as possible the
various ideas presented.
Mr. Gardiner has for a number of years been
prominently connected with the dairy inter-
ests OF the State as manager of the Fiston
Farm Dairy, concern which at present owns
the largest Jersey herd in the country.
This breed of COW has long maintained suprem-
acy foi dairy purposes, and with the increas-
ing demand for pure foods of every descrip-
ton will, it is believed eventually come to
represent thu standard of milk production for
the various dairy purposes. The proposed or
ganization is, therefore, in line with progress
in this field. and has a. a result been favorably
thought of by owners of Jerseys.
The following is an alphabetical list of some
of those Baltimore county breeders who have
been asked to participate IN the formation of

This is Blow That Tells.-An exchange
puts it forcibly in the following language IF
there is anything that will make you feel like
you have gotten into bunch of unweaned
calves it is when you come out of church and
find lot of idiots lined up on the sidewalk
and compel the women and girls to elbow
their way through. We would like to see the
girls arm themselves with hat pins about
foot long and give every fellow a good jab
that stands in their way. A girl that will so
on the sidewalk and then catch on as she
comes along and take her home, should never
go out unless accompanied by her mother.
The young man who really loves and admires
young lady will not hesitate to take her to
church. If he is ashamed to go to church
with the girl, she should be ashamed to go
home with him, and should avoid such fel-
low always and eYerYwhere.n
