The Billings farm of Woodstock ex-
hibited in special tent herd of
young Jerseys that for individual ex-
eellence and high breeding, can hardly
be equalled IN the country. II has
been the policy and claim of Mr.. Ait
ken. manager of the Billings farm,
that beauty of form could be main
tanned without in any way lessening
the dairy quality, and these animals
ana their ancestry will go long way
IN proving this fact. They are all
about two years old and some will
come In milk during the early winter.
Some of these heifers We're sired by
the bull Golden Norman, by a great
grandson of Golden Lad and Alicante,
both Island bred and both winners of
the highest Island prizes. The sire of
others was Black Watch, a son of
Garfield Stoke Pogis with 3S tested
daughters and grandson of Exhile of
81. Lambert, with 81 tested daughters.
The dams OF all these heifers are from
