second calf in thirteen months. She
will be tested again as four-year-old
and Mr.. Hewitt has every reason to
expect a record of 700 pounds.
John B. Stump e. Son Of Mon
mouth are the largest consignors.
They will have thirty-six in the sale,
only six of them bulls. Moyane s
Monine finished her years test Feb
ruary 16, with 211 pounds of butter,
subject, of course, to slight revision.
She will freshen in six weeks, She
came through in perfect health and
good shape. Her average test was
over six and eight-tenths per cent
and she produced about 10,5O0 pounds
of milk. She had seven day test of
1915 pounds. Her fne bull calf, just
a year old, is not yet sold. Noble IS
Emerald of Fair Acres, daughter of
Noble Peer, that freshened about the
first of the year, will be put in the
sale. She is milking up to twenty
eight pounds and showing good test.
She is on official test and the party
buying her can finish the test if he
desires. Several of the cOnsignments
would not be sold if the Messrs.
Stump were going to show this year.
They will sell show stock that would
win in almost any company. Some
especially sweet calves will be sold.
Thirteen of the cows to be sold are
already in the register of merit
Knight Star, that had her milk flow
diminished by an injury to her udder,
finished her year with about 700
pounds of butter and 1000 pounds
of milk. About thirty cows are on
test now. Some will qualify without
finishing, before the sale and buyers
can continue the test if desired.
While Monmouth will furnish a
large proportion of the animals sold
and while the field man happened to
see the Monmouth consignors, it is by
no means the only locality furnishing
good Jerseys. Frank Lynn of Perry
dale will have a choice consignment |
of eight females. He will have both
register Of merit animals and cows on
test. Lady's Pet of Kilbourne, his
grand old island show cow, is among
those now on official test and, while |
not milking as heavy as she did last
year, is making a good record. Mr..
Lynn will take show herd to the
Panama-Pacifc exposition and has no
bulls he cares to put in the sale.
w. O. Morrow of Rickreall is the
largest consignor except Mr.. Stump.
He will sell twenty head, four Of them
bulls. OF the sixteen cows, all but
four are in the register of merit any
they are on test or will be before the

of merit dams and some have register
of merit grandams. One bull s gran
dam produced 76S pounds in a year
and one Of her daughters, now on test,
will also be sold. Mr.. Morrow has
a few very choice young bulls not con-
signed, that he is offering at private
sale.
Ward l.. Hull, who gained wide
and the friendship and
of Jersey men while acting
as official tester, will consign one COW.
Mr.. Hull has been in the ranks of
the breeders since a year ago last
October His cows are all of one line
Of breeding except the cow consigned
and this is his reason for letting her
90, though she Is an excellent pro-
iucer. Ross Nelson OF independence
will put very NICE lot OF young stock
INTO the sale, though his stock was
not seen. Ross does not predict eX-
