The Jersey Cow.

The reason for the so general adoption of the Jersey as the cow for all purposes are numerous and important. Along most lines the Jersey has no superior. Quality and quantity of butter product, small cost of keeping, the ability to trace her pedigree through many generations, these are some of the points in which the Jersey is invulnerable. From being called the " gentleman's cow," her superiority has gradually asserted itself, until, as a dairy cow, such records are registered for her, as can by shown by no other known breed. " The Jersey cow that can average a pound of butter for 865 days in the year, with good care, is the cow for the millions, and it has been proved that the Jersey will do this five times to one over all other breeds for less feed. The Jersey has been well denominated a milk machnie. Small usually in size, there is no room for «urplus fat while she is making the rich milk for which she is noted.. Mr Wayback may continue to feed a large cow through many years, in order that finally she may make more beef; but he who is abreast of the times adopts the economic Jersey; but every part of the little cow has a use in producing the present profit of the owner."
