URGES REGISTERED BREEDING.
c. /. Hood Writes of Some Stock Seen in
Chelsea, Vt.

Der of the well-known Boston house o.
Joseph Burnett & Co., manufacturers o
Burnett's flavoring extracts, extra va
nilla, etc, articles favorably known
throughout the world for their purity
strength and delicate navor--took hi
farm manager, Mr.. Smith, and myself
in his 4S-horsepower Stearns-Knight au'
tomobile to Chelsea, and he purchased
10 cows of your former selectman, Mr.
Horace Monkey. He paid one thousand
dollars Isl ,000) for the 10. think this il
a record price for selection Of 10 out
OF herd of IA mature grade Jersey
cows.
For many years Mr., Monkey has been
consistently breeding up his herd by us
ing only a sire registered in the Amer
lean Jersey Cattle club and of the ia
nous Sophie Tormentor family, which he
| has bought at Hood farm and which ]
have personally suggested and selected
| for him
This purchase is an excellent one for
Mr.. Burnett, as he has Sophie Tormen-
tor bulls from Hood farm to breed to
these cows, which will intensity in his
herd the prepotent blood which is SUI
vi tHt NUDHlt 1UT-
mentor family. An interesting local fea-
ture is that one of these bulls was for
mcrly owned and used in the herd of Mr..
John W. Burbank on the west hill in
Chelsea.
Mr.. Moxley is now using in his herd a
son of Pogis Doth of Hood Farm a son
of Sophie 10th of Hood Farm, the cham
pion Jersey for yearly authenticated
test and champion, dairy COW of the
world, on a Ave years. consecutive au-
thenticated test, giving 64253 pounds
two ounces of milk, making 4,42S pounds
Ia ounces butter.
This is a remarkably handsome young
bull and made a marked impression upon
Mr.. Burnett and Mr. Smith and the fact
that the cows are in calf to him, no
doubt aided in making the sale He is
a half brother to the six months old
calf we sent to Pennsylvania for fifteen
hundred dollars t$l 500.
think Mr.. Moxley told me his herd
won the blue ribbon at the Worlds
fair" at Tunbridge this fall.
To illustrate the difference in selling
value between a grade Jersey COW and a
Jersey cow registered in the American
Jersey Cattle club, let me say these
same cows have sufficient type and beau
ty to bring, if registered as above, from
fifteen hundred Isl 500 to three thous-
and dollars $4,000. Mr.. Monkey has
two heifers registered in the American !
Jersey Cattle club Just coming in milk |
in another barn which caught Mr.. Bur.
nett's eye, but Mr.. Monkey said they |
were not for sale, as they are his be. !
ginning of herd registered in the Amer
lean Jersey Cattle club.
For many years have endeavored to |
induce the farmers of Chelsea TO use
only thoroughbred bulls registered in the
American Jersey Cattle club have also
endeavored to get them TO shift from
grade TO registered stock The only sue.
'ess | have met with on this last sug.
yestion is, two heifers at Mr.. Monkeys
ind four cows sold TO Mr.. c. II. Baraw.
If you will figure out the difference
between price of grade and registered
took, you can easily see how many
thousand dollars it would have been
worth to Chelsea had more adopted my
uggestion. The difference between the
ceiling price Of registered and grade
took is not fairy tale, it is real
act.
/ confess to quite a little personal
ride in this record sale Mr. Moxlev has |
made. | am also specially pleased that
he sale must be gratifying to him and
I seems to me he must feel that the
reeding lines he has followed have prov.
= a success.
/ wish there were 25 farmers in Chel. I
ca breeding registered Jerseys of the !
ophie Tormentor family. We could buy ,
II their surplus stock at remunerative
rices, because we cannot begin TO sup
~ the demand we have for young stock
red along our lines, that Is, the Sophie
ormentor family.
