A GOOD "JERSEY."
Onb of the most frequent arguments brought to bear against Jersey cattle, as milkers, is their alleged licht milking qualities. What they gain in quality is pupillaily supposed to be lost in quantity. What will th<«e doubters sav to tho following yield, which his been given by Mr C. bay's pure hrel J.T'ey cow Bvtoty3i'd, ? This cow was exhibited at tiio Waikato Agricultural Show, li- r podinrea being as follows:—Uwity 3rd, silver grey, calro I Jnlv 12-.li, ISST). by Cicero 2nd, dam B-antyStul, aiMiidsiio I'ri.l* of Australia, gnnddiiin Dairymaid, lin-tl by Mr T. Motrin. She took first prm as a Jersey and second as a diiry cow, During the milking seasoi of nine in' n'.hs now ending, Beauty 3r I has Riven 750 gallons of milk. This record, which Ins beon accomplished by a pure Jersey, with very little extra feeding beyond good pasturage, will take some beating even by a big-framed Shorthorn, and when it comes to quantity and quality of butter, tho latter would never " be in it."
