Great accomplishments are often
made without the real source of the
accomplishment receiving the proper
recognition for what has been done
such has been the case with the Jer,
sey breeders Of Maury county, who IN
to recent date have been producing
great Jersey cows that have made
some wonderful records but they have
not received credit for breeding these
animals. Instead some other man as
some one ont in Oregon or somewhere
else has come to Maury county and
bought these cows, with the best
breeding In the world, and has car
ried them away to his home, tested
them and in nearly every case has
made big record for which he receiv.
ed the credit, instead OF the Maury
County breeders who should receive
the credit.
AS believe in giving credit to
whom credit is due | will tell you of
two cows that have made real records
of merit
The first of these is Eldrids Dream
is owned by Jas. w. Ridley. both of
near Columbia. Tennessee. Mr.. Port
er calls her Dream, largely because
she is such an ideal Jersey COW that
she seems to him like dream of a,
beautiful cow--so for the sake of
brevity, | will henceforth call Eldrids
Dream--just Dream.
Dream during her years test was
MIXED by at least five different milk
ers and was finally MIXED by ma
chine which Mr. Porter had to get to
| 4455S5, who now has won the coveted
honor of being State Champion pro-
lducer of the Junior two year old
| class.
Eldrids Dream produced 7143.7
pounds of milk and 453.1 pounds of
FIAT with a test average of 6.39%o fat
during the year she was on test,
She was tested by Nimrod Porter and
meet the unsatisfactory conditions of
labor at that time. The fact about the
matter is that Mr.. Porter had to
change his mixers so often and with
such disastrous results to Dream that
he came near dropping her off test.
She was never MIXED three times
each day as Mr. Porter considered
that he was doing his best under the
conditions to milk her twice daily.
Dream is well shaped COW with
straight back line and a very large
barrel which is indicative of great
capacity. She, has large and especial
ly tortuous milk veins.
Dream was bred by Mora B. Fariss.
one of the foremost breeders of Jersey
cattle in Maury county. Her sire is
Brookhill Beulahs Exile 1879 and
dam is Doc Browns Dream No. 263536
with a seven day test of 20 pounds
and ounces. Brookhill Beulah's Exile
has shown himself to be wonderful
and prepotent sire as all of his daught-
ers thus far entered on test average
near 7%o fat when tested. ~.
Doe Browns Dream the dam of Ell
drids Dream is said by w. J. Web
ster, the peer of Tennessee Jersey
Breeders when a knowledge of pedi-
grees is taken into consideration, to
be one of the best bred cows in Ten.
nessee.
The other COW which | referred to
at the beginning of this article is
Elizabeth Carmack 391 562. She is now
State Champion Junior 8 year old
She produced 925.6S pounds of milk
and 562.S5 pounds fat with test
average of 6.O7 to win the honor Of
becoming champion of her class.
Elizabeth Carmack, or Carmack as
she is known to the man who has
bred owned and tested her, was milk
ed only twice a day by as many as
six different attendants and milking
machine during her years work. Car
mack can show us why she has just
right to become State ChampioR
when we take look over her pedi-.
gree. Elizabeth Carmack is out Of
Baby Carmack 20S4I0 and traces to
one of the greatest world chamuions
the Jersey breed has ever produced.
This COW is Bisson's Belle who pro
duced 1928 pounds 2ia ounces of
churned butter in year.
Carmack through her dam also
traces to Landseer's Fancy. the fore
most high testing COW in the world.
as her tests run from 10 to 24.49 per
cent as judged by relation of butter
to milk. I.andseer's Fancy was owned
bv w. J. Webster of Columbia. Ten
nessee, during the many long years
of her fruitful and productive life.
A large majority of the per cent,
cows OF the Jersey breed are among
the many high producing defendants
of this grand old COW.
