What I Knew About the Jerseys.
Having bred tliom on my farm for 15
years, tliink that I havo a right to give
an opinion an opinion based upon ac
tual facts. In some few circles tlioy are
regarded as the pots of fortune, lovely
little ornaments for the lawn, giving a
siiiull quantity of very rich milk, cream
mid butter to those wealthy enough to
aIbnl Mich extravagance.
They are small wo admit, beautiful wo
irrant'; gentle and graceful, they win lov
ing care and attention. So gentle are
they that the most timid girl can man
age them. I havo fifty head of Jersey
cows and heifers to-day, and a child is as
aae among them as among so many
limbs. I never owned and never saw ft
vicious cow, steer or heifer of this breed.
Fitness for her work is the all and nil of a
Jersey cow all the rest is tinsel. The
business of Jersey cow is to convert graas
nd griiin into butter. She is not bred
for the Hhainblcs, to bo cut up and eaten;
alio is too valuable as a butter producer
for that.
Sho mav bo tho rich man's luxury: but
far more the poor mans necessity me
fanner's best friend. For wo hold that
the Jersey is the most profitable of butter
eow,. yicldH more butter forhersizoand
fowl consumed than any other breed.
Few of them weigh more than 800 lbs.,
and yet it in no uncommon thing for
them to make from 300 to 100 pounds in
a year, This at ItO centH per pound gives
90 a year for butter. Wo averaged HO
cents per pound for our butter.
Hor milk being richer than that of any
other breed from (i to 7 quarts com
monly nroducesu pound of buttor. Wo
have less water to manageress timo spent
in milking! for wo can pump water eas
ier than wo can draw it irom a cow.
Her buttor is better in color, firmor in
texture, a better flavor and commands a
highor price.
Then sho comes into profit early, her
first calf being dropped when sho is 20
months old or less, and it is not uncom
mon for thcho heifors to make from 8 to
10 pounds of golden butter in 7 days.
Wo hoar of tho cow for all purposes,;
but. she may bo the millenitim cow an
yet she is only an idea has not yet drop
ped the first calf. In our time tho far
mer has to ehoo.-o in a particulai line,
to ebooHo'n bleed of animals that will
best unit his circumstances, for lioof, or
milk, or ohm-o, or butler, and if ho is in
inlliirout lie willchonxo accordingly. His
choieo will determino his success or fail
me. These families aie all distinct and
utility will keep Ibein so not a blind
reveience for the past.
If you want butter there is no cow that
will suit you as well hh the Jersey; for
she is tho only bleed that has I wen M!i
sistently bred for buttor only. She. is tho
result of breeding and in-breeding for
tins result for hundreds of years. Her
very strnetuio shows this, not only in the
tendency to anecstml transmission, but
her peculiar internal organism. When
a. lersey is fattened and butchered they
show by tb ' fat'y deposit hownaturo has
coino to put all her force into the interior,
so that tho butter producing organs are
fully supplied with all needful heat and
nourishment for this wonderful process.
Tho cow needed for the dairy cannot,
under any circuni-tances, bo selected for
those qualities which will produce fat.
To havo tho best beef we must rid mo
uiiimal of overv tendency to milk, anil
to obtain tho bent beef wo must obviate
overv tendency In fatten.
These laws are the foundation on
which all our various families of thor
oughbied cattle have been hunt up.
l'ersistent inwhtoun in-breeding is u no
ccssity to the greatest hiiccess in tho pro
duction of beef or butter.
II i chained that SO per cent, of .ler-
hv calves mint bo sold for veal. I havo
never sold n Jersey calf to tho butchers.
Forty eight eales dropped to Lemon
Hex the past, year, thirty nine havo lieen
heifers. Fin t her, in all my breeding
of .leituys two:(llii'ds of the calves hao
been heifers, Ho much for so much.

owned by the Con-olidated Bullion -Mining
Company, to whom all communica
tions relative to the mine mut be ad
dressed. The company owns ten claims
in a body on the copper field, and, unless
I am mistaken, the mine is the richest
on this roast. Tho tests that have been
inailo of tho ore havo established the
fact that it is absolutely the first grade ,
of copper ore, carrying .Hevcral dollars
per ton in silver with tho almost certain ,
prospect of its increasing rapidly in the
latter metal when further depth is at-
turned.
