The exceptions are a few cows from the fine herd of the proprietor's father, Mr. F. C. Havemeyer, of Throgg's Neck, Westchester County, and a few purchased in dam. In establishing the herd, the object was to obtain one hundred cows of the highest possible excellence, judged by their milk and butter yield, their fitness for breeders (constitution), and their typical excellence as Jerseys, and neither time, pains, nor expense, which could reasonably contribute to this end, have been spared.

Etymology: Inherited from Middle English kayser, from Old High German keisar (“emperor”), from Proto-West Germanic *kaisar, from Proto-Germanic *kaisaraz. The native Old English descendant of that Proto-Germanic word was cāser (“emperor”), but the shape of Middle English kayser (“emperor”) (versus the expected *caser, *coser) suggests it was borrowed from another Germanic language rather than inherited, and the modern English spelling and sense seem to be modified after modern German rather than a direct continuation of Middle English. Compare tsar, which was borrowed from Slavic.
