Editor Democrat: I saw in the Ore- gonian Saturday morning a picture of a Jersey herd of cows at Albany, and this brings to mind a story of the cow shown in the fore ground, and the pen cil sketch of her at corner of the pic- ture.

She weighs 1200 lbs. and has raised 5 heifers for this herd, all her type and very fine stock. She, with the Golden Rule Dairy herd, was sold last fall to the Jersey Dairy of this city, said to be the second largest dairy , in the state.
