After lifetime spent in learning
the business OF keeping COWS / do not

COWS, keep Jersey cows" writes II. s
chapman In the Breeders Gazette.
or course. add to this, 'If you keep
Jersey cows, keep registered Jersey
COWS. My reasons for maintaining
that the Jersey COW is superior to all
others as a butter COW are as fol
lows:
Her ability to produce butter and
cheese economically stands undisput-
ed. Her record in many public tests.
lhcludlng the Chicago, st. Louis and
portland expositions, has given her
the reputation, enviable and indisput-
able. Of being the worlds greatest but.
ter COW.
The extra size of the fat glopules In
Jersey milk renders the butter of
superior grain and firmness and more
easily separated from the cream.
The Jersey COW has the function OF
assimilation developed to a greater
ueSree than any other breed. She is
high-grade specialist as a feeder.
She will give profitable returns from
ration so rich (concentrated) that
other cows can not assimilate IT. It ia
this ability to stand force-feeding that
has brought the Jersey out ahead in
so many public tests. This is a merit
OF the Jersey that can probably be
taken advantage of in a working dairy
herd. In the herd in which the rails
ing OF stock is the primary considera-
ton l would keep little closer to ma
ture, even at the risk of surrendering
to some extent the meritorious quail
ties that artificial conditions have pro-
duced
superiority in numbers makes the
Jersey a more practical animal than
her rivals. The animal that naturally
is matched against the Jersey is the
Guernsey. The Guernsey has her
good points and doubtless merits the
friends she has won. If you like
Guernseys better than Jerseys. that
may be a reason why you may succeed
better with them. / am frank to ad-

All the summer houses, the tres, etc, which
one sees in these old Virginia gardens are of
frame construction, the wood usually being paint
ed white, and the garden walls which on some
estates supplement the hedges OF brick The
gardens were established too long ago to admit

which have done much for the establishment
OF the latter-day garden. Almost without excep-
ton, however, garden structures heavily
vine clad that the material of their construction
makes very little difference in appearances. Out

MOWERS or trailing vines that will not grow lux

fact accounts for the variety of vegetation the

nit that my personal preference for
Jerseys doubtless has been a factor In
my success with Jerseys. But setting
aside personal likes and dislikes. It Is
far easier for the beginner to start
with Jerseys. because so many more
bulls OF that breed are kept than Of
Guernseys. Consequently, there is far
less excuse for inbreeding, and the
breeder easily can find the bloodlines
that he needs in his herd without the
expense OF frequently buying a bull.
Another point in favor of the Jersey

COW, can we afford to carry this extra
500 pounds of live weight for a term
of 10 years at cost Of $500 pounds

of poor beef we would have at the end
of that time? Just the item Of extra
