CHAMPION JERSEY.
Jacoba Irene, Bred In This Country
and Her Wonderful Record.


Some months ago Financial Countess,
an imported Jersey owned by c. Z.
Parfet of Colorado, held the official
worlds record for Jerseys with pro-
duction of 1858 pounds of fat. A lit
tie later Adelaide Of Beechland, bred
by MIR. Sweet of New York, but now
owned by the Laid estate Of Portland,
Ore. where the years work was ac-
complished, eclipsed this record by
producing under official supervision
S49.62 pounds Of fat during the pre-
ceding twelve months, And now
comes Jacoba Irene, owned by A. y.
Auten of Illinois, with another eclips-
ing record. Of 954.1 pounds, says q
writer In Hoard's Dairyman.
Jacoba Irene and Adelaide of Beech
land are Of American breeding for
several generations, which suggests
that if cne's ambition is to discover
and disseminate the best representa-
tives of the Jersey breed it is not neg
essary that he should cross the oceaa
to find them.
Bred by j. NJ. Shrader Of st. Joseph,
Mo-, and dropped April 8, 1898, Jacobe
Irene commenced her world conquering
career for Mr.. Auten by freshening
Dec. II, 1905, and in the succeeding
twelve months gave 11,391.1 pounds Of
milk containing 619.9 pounds Of fat;
average test, 5.44 per cent. She fresh
ened again Dec TO- 1906, and during
the ensuing year gave 14,255.7 pounds
Of milk containing 1921 pounds of fat;
average test, $50 per cent. Thirteen
and one-half months later, Jan. %

Damp Stables.

Damp stables are caused by lack
of sufficient circulation Of air to take
up the moisture. When the barber
wishes to dry your face quickly he
uses a fan to circulate the air about
your face and thus take up the mois-
ture: Every COW is throwing off from
seven to ten pounds Of water every
twenty-four hours. 1t will condense
on cold walls unless sufficient fresh air
IS circulated through the stable and
often enough to dry it up. There is
no other way to take up this moisture
or prevent it. In regard to the tenn
perature Of stable, keep it at so to So
degrees. But in all these things a
stable must be properly ventilated.

RAMBoUILLET SHEEP.
A Breed That Stands High Among the
Wool Producers.

A breed Of sheep that during the last
twenty years has come to the front in
this country is the Ilambouillet,
French breed, that is by many classed
with the Merino. 1t is the largest of
the fine wool sheep and comes close
to being a general purpose animal
The appearance Of the head is char
acteristic, being covered with dense
growth of wood extending over the
face and around the eyes. The body is
deep and we'll fleshed, and the chest is
deep. The neck Is rather thick, but
comparatively free from wrinkly folds.
Ears are short and silky, legs short

A close, poorly ventilated stable may
be very cold. 1t takes plenty of pure
air to keep cattle warm.
Selecting Range Cows.
In selecting range cows for dairy
work the Colorado experiment station
reports that grade Shorthorns have
usually been found the most satisfac-
tory. The COW should be selected for
Tour dairy points-a good udder, prom
lnent nip bones, sharp bone at the
top of the shoulder and large stomach
capacity.
White Speeks In Butter.
White specks In butter are some
times nothing more than fine particles
OF milk curd caused from lack of care
IN skimming. Sometimes they are
small specks Of dried cream due to
dry cream having been scraped from
the sides Of the pan and being too dry
to thoroughly soften and mix with the
rest
Selecting Breeding Stock.
In building up herd of pure bred
animals on the farm as much atten-
ton should be given to the foundation
OF that herd as would be given to the
foundation Of the house or the barn
on the farm. The selection of the
breeding stock is Of prime Importance.
1t you could secure the help of a sue
cessful breeder in making the first
purchase 1t would be advantageous.
Men OF experience are quick to OBJ
serve certain important points the be-
ginner would overlook Without sound
Judgment. good care and management
you cannot expect to succeed in in
creasing the fertility of your land,
building up home or establishing O.
herd Of pure breds.
