After a lifetime spent in learning
the business OF keeping cows ! do not
hesitate 10 say to the young man
reared on a farm: Farm; and II
you farm. keep stock; and II you keep
stock. keep COWS; and II you keep
cows, keep Jersey cows" writes II. s.
Chapman in the Breeders Gazette.
OF course. ! add 20 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 10 produce butter and
cheese economically stands undisput-
ed. Her record in many public tests,
including the Chicago, st. Louis and
Portland e1positions, has given her
the reputation. enviable and indisput-
able. Of being the worlds greatest but
ter COW.
The extra size OF the fat globules 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
degree than any other breed. She Ia
high-grade specialist as a feeder.
She will give profitable returns from
ration so rich (concentrated) that
other cows can not assimilate II. II is
this ability TO stand forcsfeeding that
has brought the Jersey out ahead in
30 many public tests. This Is a merit
OF the Jersey that can proftably be
taken advantage OF in a working dairy
herd. In the herd in which the rails
Ing Of stock is the primary considera.
ton would keep a little closer to ma
ture, even at the risk OF surrendering
10 some extent the neritorious 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
10 matched against the Jersey is the
Guernsey. Tho Guernsey has her
good points and doubtless merits the
friends she has won. II you like
GuernBeys better than Jerseys, that
may be a reason why you may succeed
better with them. am frank TO ad
NIT that my personal preference fol
Jerseys doubtless has been factor In
my success with Jerseys. But setting
aside personal likes and dislikes, It IL
far easier for the beginner to star
with Jerseys. because 30 many NOR,
bulls OF that breed are kept than oi
Guernseys. Consequently, there is fai
less excuse for inbreeding. and tn,

Purpose Of Dry Farming Congress.

It is a fact (that is fast being ac
cepted) that any excess OF water is
injurious to plant growth and that
field crops in order to give their
maximum yields and choicest quail.
ties should have neither a lack nor
excess Of water This condition can
best be obtained in many sections
OF the. dry farming area, in under
drained fields of the humid area and
in the irrigated sections where great
care is exercised in the application
OF irrigating water. To teach the
farmers of the world these principles
and how to apply them to get the
best results is the mission Of the Dry
Farming congress, which brings 10,
gether delegates from all part of the
world once a year.

BLACKS FRIENDS
OPPOSE THE BILL
See in Legislative Act Effort
to Gust the Police
Chief

The proposed bill, notice OF which
has been given in the General Assem-
bly,, providing for a Police Commits
sion Of FIVE members instead Of three,
as at present, is causing some COM
ment, particularly among the friends
Of Chief of Police Black, who believe
the bill would deprive the chief OF
Office.
From what can be learned It is pro-
posed to have three men appointed
to the commission who would be an
tagonistic TO Chief Black and not only
oust him, but other officers as well.
IL is pointed out that the term OF
President Clarkson Of the board ex-
pires on May ]. and the appointment
of three men, to be named in the bill,
will be easy, thus leaving but two
members Of the old committee re-
naming, Messrs. Jones and Stayton.
Just what there is in these rumors
is not known, nobody seeming to know
anything about the bill or what II
will contain. Some of Chief Blacks
] friends are anxiously awaiting the
time when the provisions Of the meas
ure are made known.
In connection with this bill II Is
said there will be another measure
providing that the city parks be
placed under the jurisdiction Of Tho
city police department. thereby doinl
away with park guards.
