. Jersey Cattle. A1! ENTHUSIASTIC ADMIRER ON THEIR ECONOMICAL QUALITIES. The lesson of the nineteenth century hns‘been economy. Men consider now, not so much what has been done, as how it has been accomplished. The scientific engineer calculates exactly the markets, are some of the character- istics of the products of the Jersey cow. To state facts concerning her perform. ances is to argue must cogently in favor of the Jersey. Her position to-day seems one of assured success. As in the past, when her merits became recog. nized. she was warmly welcomed, so in the future her worth must gain her friends.â€"-Prt'ze Essay in Kansas Partner. the increase of power which an extra pound of coal beneath his boiler will produce, and the most economic amount to accomplish a certain work The tailor and the shoemaker no longer THE NEEDED IDENTIFICATION WAS 53‘ ‘toil and draw their thread from morn- CURED m A RATHER. vacuums-r- iug until the genius Of the age ABLE wily._BUT 11‘ 513001). has pointed the way to a production of shoes and coats at an infinite reduction in cost. In all lines of labor and trade the rule holds true, and nowhere are its workings better exemplified than in the field of agriculture and dairying. In the vast industry represented by the cow, competition has caused new methods to supersede the old. The dairying farmer considers from an economic standpoint and decides by actual test the relative value of differ- ent breeds. It is under such circum- stances that the cattle of the Island of Jersey have risen into prominence until, received with almost universal favor, the Jersey cow may rightly be called the “ Queen of the Dairy.” Originating, as is supposed by emi- nent authorities, on the coast of the continent neighboring to the island whose name they bear, this breed has ever been cherished and protected by the inhabitants of fertile Jersey. As civilization advanced in the eighteenth century, and ease of communication became more general, the fame of this native breed spread, and the records they were making, even in these early times, astonished the then dairy world. From 1789, when the States of Jersey enacted laws forbiddingthe importation of foreign cattle from France, to the present day. the history of' the Jersey breed of cattle is a. story of progress and merit recognized. The spirit of emulation and industry raised among the Jerseymen has been the means of making their island a placenl‘ no small importance. The reasons for the so general adop~ tion 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 but- ter 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 invul- nerable. From being called the “ gen- tleman’s cow,” her superiority has grad- ually asserted itself until, as a dairy cow, such records are registered for her as can be shown by no other known breed. The idea is prevalent that the Jersey is a cow only to be owned by the weal- thy cattle breeder. Negreater mistake could be made. Economy points to the Jersey as the cow also for him who uses . That Check Was Cashed. I had a Chicago check on a bank in one of the territorial small towns, and one day I walked in on the banker and presented it to be cashed. “ Have to be identified," he said, as he handed it back. “ But I know no one here." “ Can’t cash it unless you are identi- fied." “ I have a dozen letters here ad- dressed to me." “ No good.” “ My name is on the waybill of the stage route.” “ That’s nothing.” “I have called on the editor of The Bugle and introduced myself." “ But you might have given a false name. Business is business, sir, and you will have to be identified before I can cash that check." I went away, wondering‘how long 83 would last me in that town, and how I could get out of it without the money on that check, when I bumped against a man on the street, who whipped out a gun and fired a bullet through my cap before I could apologize. When I had begged his pardon he putup his weapon and extended his hand and said : “ It’s all right if ye didn‘t mean it. Mebbe ye was so busy ye didn't see me.” “ That’s about it. I am in trouble.” “Bin robbed or anything?” “ No. and can't get the money." “ Fur why? " “ Because no one here knows me.” “ Check is all right, eh ?" “ Good as gold.” kase nobody knows ye ? ” “ No.” “ Humph ! What did yer say yer name was ? ” walked the back to the bank. counter 3 feller.” " You know him, do you ? ” “ Ye jest bet I do ?

I told him. and he took my arm and As we entered he said to the man behind the “Jim, I‘ve cum yere to identify this, “ You know him to be the person- utes ago he told me he didn’t know a but a single head for family purposes. True, the original expense may be some. what greater for a Jersey of good breed- ing than for a cow of common stock. But can we say that it would be econo- my in this age for the publisher of any newspaper, however small its circula- tion. to use a press such as Caxton em- ployed because its cost would be less than that of one of those models of in- genuity in use today ? The utility of the Jersey and her adaptability to all situations were litly praised in a recent number of the Country Gentleman :â€" “ The Jersey cow that can average a pound of butter 365 days in the year, with good care, is the cow for the mil- lions, and it has been proved that the Jersey will do this five to one over all other breeds and with less feed." The Jersey has been well denominated a milk-machine. Small usually in size. there is no room for surplus i'at while‘ she is making the rich milk for which she is noted. Mr. Waybuck may con- tinue 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 cconomieJcrsey. A beef breed the Jersey is not; but every part of the little cow has a use in producing the present profit ofhcr owner. The care and treatment of the Jersey must be based. as with any breed, on the broad foundation of common sense. Different individuah of any breed re- quire dili'erent food and management. For docility the Jersey has no equal; for hardiness almost no superior. Brav- ing without harm the storms of‘a Canaâ€" dian winter, acclimated with the most encouraging success in the warm States of the South, she thus far has defied the complaints of the emakers. Bred in and in through many genera- tions in that narrow land which is their ancient homo, and always with their worth for dairy purposes in view, the Jerseys produce milk richer by far in the elements of butter (loan that of any other breed.
