OF JERSEY COWS

| Arnold Naudaiu, JE, for years la!
been known to be deeply interested Ii
the raising OF cows that would give
good rich milk andconsequently bring
a paying butter yield. Mr.. Naudai1
on the Hermitage farm, near Mer-
maid has q stock of Jersey cattle
which has grown in numbers too
many for his dairy and so he deter
mined tosell off % head. A reporter
OF the REPUBLICAN was at Brandy
wine Springs yesterday and knowing
how interested people in general are
in good milk and butter, he called
upon Mr. Nandain for the purpose
OF seeing his stock aud learn ing some.
/ thing about the cows. Mr.. Naujaiu
was pleased to see the visitor and
told with pleasure and pride of the
large crops grown on the farm, which
has been in his family nearly 80 years
and which he purchased few years
| ago from relatives. H.
A visit to the COW pens surprised
the writer for the stock of Jersey
cattle showed no signs OF q hard win.
ter. and their glove like skins showed
breeding and good attention combin.
ed. In answer to questions, Mr..
Naudain stated that 20 years ago he
determined that Il good COW costs no
more to keep than a poor one.
He invested 5000 and began to raise
stock Of Jersey cattle and at pres.
enthe has reaped his reward. But
the increase has been too much for
his farm and accordingly on May s.
he will sell 8 fresh COWS, II heifers
between one and two years old and
five hcifer calves under one year
These cattle are descendants Of
the original stock. Among his cows
is ''grandmother" who for sixteen
yeaIs has been working right along,
won first premium at the Pomona
fair last fall and is a paying invest
ment. Some OF the Jerseys to be sold
arelerdaughtcrs and grand daughters.
Her milk is rich and like the others,
in the herd, standsat a test just twice
the required standard fequired for
butter fat in Wilmington. The re-
porter, like other people knows good
milk when he drinks it and has ndr
hesitancy in wishing he lived near
the Hermitage farm and could secure
some of the goodrich milk from which
nearly 800 pound, of excellent butter,
butter in quality and not in name,
and which IS sold TO customers in the
Eighth Street Market weekly. On
the day previous to the sale he will
weigh the milk given by the cows
that are for sale ard in that way will
be able to tell what milk they give.
In order that there may be no dis
appointment should the day not be-
fine the sale will be held on the barn
floor Q
Parties who wish to attend the
sale and who do not drive can reach
the Hermitage farm by ndr7rying Mr..
Naudan, Marshallton post office, and
carriages will meet the prospective
buyers at Brandywinc Springs
Mrs. Rogers, who has been u fancy
cattle raiser for year has often pur-
chased some of the Naudain stock

The day is past when the farmer
can expect to get good COWS in the
.lrovcs that come from the West.
The western farmer is shrewd and
ships the non-rich milk producer.
She does not pay and he will not keep
ler Farmers in this section must
;ome down to Istrict business and one
II the best Investments is Il COW that
viii give rich milk. Such are tho
'ows and helfers to be sold at the
Naudain sale on May ), and it will
'ay farmers to attend and get some
If these rich milk producers.
In addition to the Jersey cattle,
Mr. Naudain will sci some Chester
