PUBLISHED BY THE CLUB BY PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. BY HEKRY E. ALVORD. Milk is a fluid, and has been so regarded from time immemorial. It has been bought and sold by liquid measure. And in referring to the use of milk it is ordinarily spoken of as a fluid. We say com- monly that we drink milk, and rarely speak of eating it. Yet milk is food rather than drink. It is the perfect food provided by Nature for the young of the most important grand division of the animal kingdom. And Ave know it is largely consumed as food by human beings of all ages. It is, then, as a food, that milk, and chiefly the milk of the cow, is so conspicuous in commerce and in domestic economy. But our first idea of human food is a solid substance ; and although some food appears in a liquid form, it is valued for the solid matter it contains. Milk is no exception. It is a fluid because largely composed of water ; but all its other constituent parts are solids, and they are what give milk its food value. Some of these constituents, the curd or caseine, the sugar and the salts or mineral matter, are dissolved in water ; other parts, the fats, are in semi-solid particles, held in suspension in the fluid, causing the opaque appear- ance. So milk is at once a solution and an emulsion. (By "emul- sion," a word itself meaning milk-like, we intend to describe a physical mixture of different substances like oil and water, which do not form a chemical union.) To thoroughly understand milk, its composition and value, it must, therefore, be examined chemically and physically. Chemical examination reveals the fact that milk varies greatly in its composition, or, rather, in the relative quantity of its parts. By carefully evaporating the water we secure all tlie other parts, and these collectively are called the " total solids " of the milk. The fat may then be easily separated from the rest and its quantity deter- mined, the remainder being what are known as ''the solids not fat." These, in turn, are usually separated into caseine, sugar and salt, or ash. The natable differences in milk are in the proportion of fat 73 74 DIFFERENCES IN DAIEY PRODUCTS. to other solids, and of the total solids to the water. The range of total solids is from below 11 per cent, to above 20 per cent. It is unusual, however, to find pure milk from a healthy cow with much less than 12 per cent, solids, and over 16 per cent, is also uncommon. The highest record found for a single cow is 23.43 per cent., and the lowest, 10.55 per cent., the former a Jersey and the latter a Holstein ; and the highest for a herd, for any length of time, is 15.45 per cent., for a herd of registered Jerseys in the State of New Jersey, tested for one full year, and the lowest, 11.77 per cent., for forty-five Dutch cattle at Proskau, for over two years, as reported by Dr. Schmoeger in the " Milch Zeitung," for 1881. The range of fat is even greater, proportionally, being from 2 per cent., or even less, to 12 per cent. But 3 per cent, is as low as allowable for pure milk from a well kept cow, and anything over 6 per cent., maintained for any length of time, is very rare. The fats of milk being included in the solids and the most variable portion, we naturally find most fat with the most solids, and the lowest fat with the lowest total solids, and vice versa. The highest and lowest records of fat which I have seen for single cows are 12.53 and 2.70 per cent., being the same animals previously referred to as showing the extreme for total solids. Both were examined at the New York Agricultural Experiment Station. The highest and the lowest for a herd, 5.53 and 2.82 per cent., respect- ively, for Jerseys and Holsteins. Physical examination, chiefly with a microscope, shows the condi- tion in which the fat is held in the serum or fluid, and demonstrates great differences, in this particular, in the milk of different cows. The fat is found in globular form, myriads of these minute globules floating at will, in the otherwise colorless fluid, and giving to milk a physical character and quality quite distinct from its chemical quality. The main differences in these fat globules are in their average size and their uniformity of size as seen in different milks. It requires from 1,500 to 10,000 of these fat globules, placed side by side, to cover an inch in length ; from 6,000 to 7,000 is a fair average. Sometimes, but not often, globules are found as large as 1-lOOOth of an inch in diameter, and in most milk there are those so minute as to be called granules, to distinguish them, and which are l-25000th of an inch, or less, in diameter. Dr. Sturtevant, as the result of thousands of examinations, reported the average size of the fat globule in Jersey milk as l-5252d of an inch, and in Ayrshire milk l-7080th of an inch ; the average size for Dutch or Holstein milk was still smaller. The larger the fat globules in any milk, the easier and quicker they separate from the fluid, and the more difficult it is DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. 75 to remix the parts ; that is, the cream and the skim milk. I quote from Dr. Sturtevant on this subject of the differences in milk as regards its physical character : " The globule of the milk of the Jersey breed is larger than that of other breeds examined, and there are fewer granules ; as a result, the cream rises with considerable rapidity, and so completely as to leave a very blue skim milk, which does not readily remix with the cream. The milk of the Ayrshire breed furnishes a globule intermediate in size between the Jersey and the Dutch, and a predominant feature is the presence of numerous granules, or extremely small globules, which give a white rather than a blue appearance to the skim milk. Of the three breeds we are con- sidering, the Dutch or American-Holstein presents the smallest globule to its milk. The globules are more uniform in their size than in the Ayrshire milk, and there are fewer granules. The cream, on account of the uniformity of size of the globules, rises completely making the skim milk appear blue, and on account of their small size, the cream can be readily mixed with the skim milk by shaking." Prof. Arnold adds, on this point: ''The milk of Devons closely resembles that of Jerseys ; the milk of native cows is usually similar to that of Ayrshires, and the milk of Shorthorn cows somewhat resembles that of the Dutch, but the globules are larger and not so uniform in size and quality." Investigations in another direction have determined what may be called either physiological or hygienic differences in milk. The character of the solids, and particularly of the fats and caseine, appears to differ as regards digestibility. It is believed by some that the caseine is more or less in a solid form, instead of all dissolved, and that this solid jiortion varies greatly in different milks. This variation makes one milk much more wholesome, or easier of diges- tion, than another, which becomes a matter of imj^ortance in the case of infants and invalids. Furthermore, milk differs in the matter of color. Some cows, as a part of their animal economy, have the power of secreting, in various parts of the body, an orange-colored pigment. This coloring matter has a special affinity for the fatty tissues, and appears in the fats of the milk. In this respect, as stated, cows differ greatly, and the matter of color seems to have no relation whatever to tlie quantity or other qualities of milk. It is certain that color is in no respect an indication of the quantity of fat in a milk, or of the 1)utter that milk will produce. Erroneous views on this point have led to undue value being placed on high-colored milk and cows produciiig such. Repeated trials have sliown that cows whose bodies and milk are destitute of this often-prized quality yield 76 DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. milk richer in the quantity and quality of butter produced from it than otlier cows specially selected for their high development of this peculiar attribute of color. Although the variations in milk, as describe!, appear more or less among cows of the same breed, and more decidedly among animals of mixed blood, it has been well established that the contrast is most marked between pure-bred cows of the several recognized dairy breeds of cattle. The differences in the milk from these breeds is so positive as to be regarded as characteristic of the breeds themselves. Thus, high medical authority pronounces the Ayrshire milk to have special hygienic properties which adapt it, above all others, to the use of infants and invalids. The predominating feature of Guernsey milk is the deep orange color which becomes imparted to the butter. The cattle of Holland and Holstein are noted for yielding enormous quantities of milk, very Ioav in fat and other solids, but of such physical character as to make it the best of all to transport long dis- tances and maintain an even quality for retail city delivery. And the Channel Island cattle — the Guernseys and Jerseys — give the highest per cent, of fat and total solids, together with high color. The differences which are to be found in milk and the products of milk are, then, mainly a difference of breeds. The study of the characteristics of the milk of different breeds of cattle has, therefore, a direct practical bearing, and becomes of interest to all consumers who are discriminating buyers, and to all producers whose business sense leads them to take every advantage of a discriminating market. Hereto- fore there has been difficulty in pursuing this study because of the lack of sufficient data. In the old records, of which there is a great mass, we have widely varying results from the examination of milk, cheese and butter ; but they are valueless as bearing on the question of breed, because rarely, if ever, do such records give any history of the origin of the substances examined. Facts of a more complete and satis- factory character have been accumulating of late years, however, and while it is not unlikely that further data will cause some modification of existing averages, and the deductions to be made from them, we have now enough to at least make a very interesting subject for study and to lead to some well-defined conclusions. My attention has been attracted, for two or three years, by the dis- cussions of human foods, and the different ways of comparing them. I have been specially interested in noting the high position occupied by dairy products as economical articles of food. And this paper was suggested by, and is mainly based upon, certain tables, with their explanations, which are to bo found in the proceedings of recent DIFFERENCES IX DAIRY PRODUCTS. 77 meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Those relating to the differences of milk — or rather the variation in the food value of different milks, and comparing dairy products in this respect with other articles of food — were presented in the Economic Section of the Association, and the one on variations in butter was presented in the Chemical Section, and also contributed to the last meeting of the Society for Promoting Agricultural Science, and published in its proceedings for 1887. With such indorsement, we may rely upon the accuracy and value of these data, and may deduct some important facts from their consideration. The tables to which attention is first invited were prepared two years ago, in connection with a discussion of '"'the food question," to illustrate the " Eelative Values of Human Foods," upon the basis of their chemical composition. They have been amplified and rear- ranged within the past year, separating the long list of dairy products from the other foods, and giving a new title suited to my present use of them. (Table illustrating the Differences in Dairy Products, and comparing the latter with various other standard foods. ) The figures, as presented to the American Association, remain unchanged, and they represent a very large number of authentic analyses. In relation to every article named, the composition on which its value is based is the average of all the analyses of like articles of undoubted history which could be found recorded, upon reliable authority, up to the first of July, 1887. There are different ways of comparing human foods upon the score of economy. If one attempts to consider at once their digestibility, chemical composition and usual cost, besides other conditions which should not be ignored — nervine properties, for example — the prob- lem becomes very comj)lex. It is hard to define the average human stomach, and we are so much in the dark on the questions of actual digestion and assimilation of different forms of food that it is safer to drop that factor than to include it. At all events it is better ta approach the subject by stages ; and in this instance we consider, in combination, the chemical knowledge of foods and their market prices. The basis of comparison is all important. The necessity is apparent of separating foods into two grand divisions, animal and vegetable, and of selecting a basis for each. It is needless to here fully explain the manner in which these tables were prepared. For the details^ reference is made to the original form of publication. (Vol. xxxiv.,. Amer. Assoc. Advancement of Science, 1885, page 504.)

This assumes the proper ratio between fats and carbo-hydrates to be 1.75 to 1 ; so that to combine these two, the quantity or per cent, of fat in any analyses is multiplied by 1.75 and added to the carbo-hydrates. For vegetable foods, the potato, at 60 cents per bushel, or 1 cent a pound, is the basis, and the value of vegetable protein thus fixed at 10 cents per pound, and of carbo-hy- .drates at 4 cents per pound. Based upon these values, the following tables have been compiled. 'They give the chief nutrients, the computed value, and the average price, approximately, of 100 pounds of about thirty different dairy products, and, for comparison, an equal number of other common articles of food, one-third animal and the rest vegetable. A column is added at the right of each table, indicating by the signs plus (+) and minus ( — ), whether the usual selling price, as stated, is more or less than the computed food value.

Certain general explanations and remarks should be made in regard to these tables before referring to any special points of interest. In each table the first column gives the name of the article of food to which the figures on the same line apply. The remaining columns in the two tables are duplicates in their headings and objects. The column headed '^Protein" gives in pounds and hundredths of a pound the average quantity found in one hundred pounds of the article named. By '^'protein" is meant that class of compounds, the most important of all the ingredients of food^ whose four elements are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and especially nitrogen (with, per- haps, a little sulphur or phosphorus). Under the head of protein are, therefore, included what are variously called albuminoids, gela- DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. 81 tinoids, nitrogenous parts, and proteids ; the most familiar example of which IS the albumen, or -white" of eggs. The next column headed -Carbo-hydrates," gives likewise the quantity of this class of nutrients ni one hundred pounds, expressed in pounds and deci- mals These substances include sugar, starch, dextrin, digestible woody fibre, etc., which, as well as fats, are composed of the three elements, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It should be especially noted that m these tables, to save a column and simplify their an pearance, special columns for fat have been omitted, and the fats have been included in the columns of carbo-hvdrates, beino- first re- duced to an equivalent on the ratio previouslv^stated. This accounts for the apparent anomaly of the figures in this column, in some cases —butter, for example-indicating more than one hundred pounds of carbo-hydrates m a hundred pounds of the article named ( ? ) The explanation is as given-that the fat, having the higher nutritive value, has been multiplied by 1.75 before adding to the carbo-hy- drates proper. The reason undoubtedly was, that the nutritive parts of food are commonly, if not correctly, classed as flesh-forminc^ and heat-producmg, or life-sustaining. Fats and carbo-hydrate^'s both belong to the latter class, and hence are expressed in combina- tion. In these tables, therefore, the protein columns represent flesh- formmg parts of the food, and the carbo-hydrates columns heat- producmg. (It is a recognized fact that this last classification is de- fective m several particulars, but especially because the protein of food may be changed in the body into fats and carbo-hydrates and serve, as do the latter, for fuel in sustaining animal heat and 'life ) Ihese two columns are based upon fixed facts, determined by chemi- cal research, and not liable to change, although slight modifications may result from adding new analyses, and the articles mav, in the course of time, while maintaining the same name, acquire new char- acteristics. The next column, headed - Value," is based upon those before, with the rates assigned for protein and carbo-hvdrates per pound, in animal and vegetable substances, and thus gives the actual Talue of the nutrients in one hundred pounds eacli of the foods named computed upon their chemical composition. If exceptions are taken to the assumed prices of the basic articles, it is manifest that bv a simple calculation, based upon existing market rates, the columns of food values may be easily reconstructed to suit any given localitv As the figures stand, however, they are relativelv correct, and serve our purpose better, in comparing different foods, than do those of the previous columns. The columns lieaded -'Average Market Price" are simply for illustration, and will vary more or less with 82 DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. time and place. The purpose of the signs in the right hand columns have already been explained. It may be noticed that the tables do not include the mineral constit- uents of food, which are usually denominated the ash. No diet is complete without some mineral ingredients, and in milk for babes these are an important factor. But sooner or later after we begin to crawl — and sooner rather than later — we all, it is said, '' eat our peck of dirt," so that this omission may be regarded as unimportant, and, perhaps, be thus accounted for. For the single object of showing the differences m dairy products,, and hence, for this occasion, we should have found it more satisfac- tory to place the fats in a separate column, and also have a column of total solids. But I thought it best to use the tables as originally published, rather than change any figures. At this point, attention is especially invited to the demonstration given by these tables of the cheapness, when compared with their nutritive value, of nearly all dairy products (butter excepted). Skim milk, buttermilk and cheese, at their usual retail prices, are cheaper, as nutritious food, than any other article on the list, and are ap- proached in this respect only by fresh mackerel and dried codfish. Butter is an exception, and, while it unquestionably serves special purposes in the human diet, it must, upon the basis of its chemical composition, be regarded as a delicacy or luxury, and not as a food. It ordinarily costs two or three times its real food value, and often more. Of the more solid foods not specially perishable, nothing begins to compare, in cheapness, with cheese. What shall be said of the domestic economy of America, where more butter and less cheese are consumed, pe7' capita, than in any other nation in our zone? And what of the wisdom of the lawmakers, in some of our States and great cities, who, to escape the ditficulties of regulating the milk traffic, utterly ignore the vital question of cheap and wholesome food for tho poor, and, sanctioned even by boards of health, absolutely prohibit the sale of skimmed milk, and actually authorize the destruction of all that can be found ! Xow, let the consideration be confined to that part of the first table which relates to milk. Great differences are here shown in the com- position, and hence the value of the average milk of cows of different breeds. It is worthy of notice that the milks wliich, as shown in the column for carbo-hydrates, have the most fat, are, as a rule, also the richest in protein, or curd. This table indicates at once the breeds of cattle whose milk we should buy, if consumers, and which we should keep, to be the producers of milk of high quality. The milk DIFFERENCES IIST DAIRY PRODUCTS. 83 of the chemists' standard, "^average cow's milk" (as determined by very many analyses), and of all the breeds enumerated, except four, usually sells for less than its computed value. Four breeds, all of the same general class of stock, yield milk so low in its nutrients that it is, on the average, not worth the prices at which it usually sells. This difference in value would be still more marked, if the same selling price was assigned to all milk, but special allowance is made in the table for higher prices for milk of exceptional richness, and low prices for that of poorest quality. Manifestly, we do not buy milk, and we are foolish if we produce it, for the water it contains. The greater the proportion of water, the poorer, less valuable the milk. It is the solid portion, and that only, which gives milk its food value, and I firmly believe the time is near at hand when its commercial value will be fixed by the total solids. Indeed, a system of grading milk according to its solids, and selling it at different prices, fixed by its quality, has already been inaugu- rated by at least one enterprising milk dealer in Philadelphia. To illustrate : compare the milk of one of the breeds of high quality, and one of those of a low standard, with the general average. We will take the fourth from the top, the Jersey, and the fourth from the bottom, the Holstein, as being familiar breeds, and expand the figures of the table, to give the full average analyses : Kind of Milk. Water. Solids. Casein. Fat. Sugar. Ash. Value per cwt.

Three sets of glass jars, six in each, can be prepared so as to show respectively the component parts of one gallon of each of the three grades of milk represented by the figures in the table just above,, and thus strikingly exhibit the difference in composition of these- representative samples of milk. The question may be asked : Is not this theoretical ? Not at all I' Excepting the single item of the relative nutritive value of fats and' carbo-hydrates, everything about these tables is fact, — simply the condensed record on innumerable facts, determined by many careful men, working through a long term of years. 84 DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. Is this not all scientific work? Yes, it is, mainly, the work of scientific men. But if the word "science," which to some is so repugnant, is, as it ought to be, interpreted as meaning simply the truth, or, as Davy so well defined it, as " common sense, refined and •classified," there seems no reason why these records should not be a,ccepted by the most " practical " man. While I have the most profound regard for science and scientific methods, I measure the value of both solely by their practical results. And I believe that the statements thus far made herein, accord perfectly with practical experience. They are fully substantiated by the facts developed in the dairy farming of this country, at the present time, and by its allied industry and commerce. So far recorded facts. But now, when we come to a discussion of the lessons they teach, and seek for examples in practice, we necessarily reopen ''the battle of breeds." Only facts which can easily be authenticated will be given, and comparisons will be fairly made, but it will be impossible to occupy strictly neutral ground. The question is. Which cattle produce the best milk, — the best to sell, and the best to buy? I will not attempt to further argue that the best milk is the most profitable, for seller as well as for buyer. We will take the most familiar rival dairy breeds, — the Holstein- Priesians (as now called) and the Jerseys. According to the chemists, the average milk of Holstein cows has but 12.08 per cent, of solids, including 3.30 per cent, of fat. This would barely escape the lowest legal standards that are justifiable. It will readily be understood that the prohahility is, that more of the milk of cows of known breeding has been from animals above the average quality, rather than below. Do practical results sustain the testimony of chemistry? Within twO' years, I have personally known of two herds of highly bred Holstein-Friesian cattle, many of them im- ported, and valued as better than the average of their breed, owned in two different States, by men of absolute integrity, and yet both these owners have suffered the penalty of the law, because the milk sold from their herds, and which they insisted was pure milk from their fine cows, fell below the local standard in their re- spective States. The case of Uriah Borten, of Rancocas, N. J., the facts of which have been given to the public, is another of a similar nature. I know of the case of a substantial dairy farmer, who made his whole living from his farm, and who sold off a profitable dairy herd of mixed blood, and replaced them with Holsteins, in which he invested all his savings. He did well in the sales of cattle, became a large importer, and one of the most highly esteemed DIFFERENCES IX DAIRY PRODUCTS. 85 expert judges of the "blacks and whites" in his section of the country. Lately he surprised his neighbors by selling out his pure- bred cattle, stocking his farm with grade Jerseys, and resuming his old dairy business. Upon being asked to explain, he stated that he was unwilling to continue selling to other people, as fine dairy stock, animals which in his own practice had proved to be unprofit- able ; that he had lost, by keeping Holsteins as his dairy herd, about as much as he had made trading in them, and resolved to return to stock that could be kept at a profit. Another case, with the details of which I am familiar, is this : A man, whose name you would all recognize, owns a large farm near one of our principal cities, well adapted for milk production. He had a stock of Jerseys and grade Jerseys, and mixed-bloods, or "natives,"' and bought a good milk route, on which he disposed of their products. The demand soon exceeded his supply, and upon the advice of friends, he purchased Holstein-Friesians to increase his herd. Fancying the fine, large animals newly acquired, and having ample means, he sold oJEf all but three or four of his Jersey cows, and, with this exception, stocked up entirely with Holsteins, buying at high prices from sev- eral of the most celebrated breeders in America. Almost immediately his milk route began to run down, and he had nearly lost his whole trade before he became satisfied of his mistake, and began to sell Holsteins and buy Jerseys. Now I see his name, every few weeks, as the buyer of registered Jerseys, from the most noted deep-milking families. I was lately told by the farmer of this gentleman, that the latter had become fully convinced as to which breed of cows gave the best milk, and were the ones best adaj)ted to a profitable milk- selling business. Our table gives, for average Holstein milk, total solids, 12.08, and fats, 3.30. Xot long ago I saw the record of the analyses of twelve samples of milk, from five exceptionally fine Hol- stein cows — none better anywhere — and one or more being at the time of examination specially fed to produce rich milk for a butter trial. The work was done by an eminent chemist, and the average result was, total solids, 10.93, and fats, 2.84. Analyses of tlie milk of a herd of Holsteins near Philadelphia, given by the owners, in 1884, averaged for total solids, for April, 11.33 ; May, 11.59 ; June, 11.64 — all on liberal rations of substantial and good milk in'oducing food. At the State Experiment Station in Wisconsin, examinations of Hol- stein milk gave total solids, 11.28, and fat, 2.88. For three consecutive years, at the Eoyal Dairy Show in London, the milk of the Holsteins exhibited has been tested and found to average, total solids, 11.80, and of this 2.97 per cent, was fat. Such milk cannot be sold, under 86 DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. the laws of tlie State of New York, outside the county in which it is produced. Let us see if milk of a better quality cannot be found. The chem- ists' average for Jersey milk, according to our table, is for total solids, 14.82, and for fats, 5. 06. As before remarked, this may be a little high,, and for the reasons stated. But I have in my possession the record of more than a year, of weekly tests made of the milk sent to Phila- delphia daily, for sale, from a herd of registered Jersey cows, owned by Mr. H. Li^Dpincott, of Cinnaminson, N. J. The dealer who re- ceives this milk, on some day in every week, according to his fancy,, samples the milk and has the total solids chemically determined. The record for the herd for a year just closed, shows a range from 13.13 one week in June, to 16.16 in January, and an average for the year of 14.76 per cent, total solids. This comes pretty well up tO' our standard (only 6-lOOths of 1 per cent, short), and the record would undoubtedly have been higher but for the fact that a full half of the herd Were heifers with their first calves. In passing, it may be well to notice that this record shows what always proves true, that the lowest per cent, of solids in a year is at the flush of June pasturage and during the heat and flies of July and August, and the best milk is- from good Winter feed. Mr. Lippincott's monthly averages were as follows : June, 14.10 ; July, 13.83 ; August, 14.03 ; December, 15.21 ; January, 15.46; February, 15.19. There is a still better record for a whole year. The dealer who handles Mr. Lippincott's milk also has the product of Mr. John P. Hutchinson's herd of registered Jer- seys, at Georgetown, N. J., and has made similar tests of that milk. Although the details are not given, this dealer, Mr. George Abbott, Jr., of Philadelphia, informs me by letter that for the entire year of 1886, the milk from Mr. Hutchinson's herd averaged 15.45 per cent, solids. This is more than one-half per cent, above the standard of the table. He adds, as further examples, the following averages of solids,. for the year 1886, in the milk of certain herds handled by him, and says, " These are first class representative herds of the breeds named, and the averages are for the entire year": Eegistered Jerseys, 14.37, 14.49,14.77, 14.80, and 14.93; registered Guernseys, 14.61, 14.68, and 15.14 percent. The average of the ten herds examined by Mr, Abbott is 14.80, which is a practical endorsement of the table, or the average as fixed by science. During a long period of close observation at the New York Agricul- tural Exj)eriment Station, where the milk from several unregistered Jersey cows was tested daily, the total solids averaged 14.45, ranging from 13. 70 to 15. 90. During the trial a great variety of food was used. DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. 87 sometimes being intentionally poor. Unfortunately, the percentageof ia,t, as distinct from the other solids, was not taken ; but one may always be certain that where the total solids run above Id^ per cent, the milk is rich m fats, for instances of ''solids not fat," above 10 per cent., are very rare. "While at Houghton Farm, I had the milk of Jersey cows not regularly but repeatedly examined. The solids ranged from 13.72 to 15.96 per cent, and the fat was never found below 4. 30 in the milk of the herd, while it sometimes reached 6.61 per cent, and averaged 4.93 per cent. So much for the quality of the average milk of good business herds of dairy cows. The impression prevails in some places, that Avhile the milk of Jerseys is of high quality, it is always in small quantity per cow. This is rather outside the bounds of my present subject, but I Avill venture to briefly notice this point. The criticism is not sustained by the facts. The habit of an even and long continued flow of milk, which is one of the most valuable characteristics of this breed, and of great importance to the producer of milk for sale, results in much larger annual records of milk product in good dairy herds of Jerseys than they are generally credited with. One year while I was at Houghton Farm a herd of fifteen, including two aged cows and three undeveloped heifers, produced an average of 5,844 pounds 3 ounces, or 2,718:|^ quarts per head. It is very well known that dairy herds, kept for the quantity of milk produced, but with little regard to quality, and maintained by frequent culling and purchases of fresh cows, are considered as doing well to average 2,800 quarts per cow, or 6,000 pounds. Herds capable of an annual yield of 3,500 quarts, or 7,500 pounds a year, to every cow fed for the year, and which in quality reaches the New York standard, are exceedingly rare. Yet Jersey herds, main- tained by their own increase, are by no means uncommon, which average over 6,000 pounds of milk a year, and that of the highest quality. Mr. A. B. Smith, of Eagle, Mich., in the year 1885, had a herd of six pure Jersey cows and three high-grade Jerseys, which averaged 7,100 pounds of milk each. The large herd of registered Jerseys at Deerfoot Farm, Massachusetts, where the daily record of every cow has been kept for fifteen years, shows a total average of about 1,500 quarts or 5,400 pounds per head for this long period. Single cows in this herd averaged 2,933, 2,941, and 3,371 quarts a year, for seven successive years, being from 6,200 to 7,250 pounds. The Echo Farm at Litchfield, Conn., have published a list of tlie names and numbers of a dozen of their registered Jerseys, several of them ten or twelve years old. 88 DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. with their yearly milk yield, which averages for the lot 8,385 pounds or 3,900 quarts. Messrs. Miller & Sibley of Franklin, Penn., have taken pains to purchase and to breed Jersey cows of large milking habits, and, as showing their success, they pub- lish the records of twelve cows which averaged for a year 8,700 pounds or over 4,000 quarts of milk each. One heifer with first calf gave 10,101 pounds in twelve months, before three years old; another young cow gave 10,329 pounds on ordinary feed; and an older one, 16,153 pounds, or an average of 20 quarts a day for the whole year. That this last yield was milk of good quality is suflaciently proven by its making over 927 pounds of butter, or a pound of butter to every 8 quarts of milk. These facts show that there is no trouble in getting Jersey cows whose product is large in quantity as well as high in quality. A letter recently received by me from Mr. Edward Austen, of Filston Farm, Grlencoe, Md., is appropriate in this place. I requested this gentleman to send mo the annual yield of his cows, and what he knew of its quality. Mr. Austen is a man of accurate, systematic habits, who, after some years in business life, now owns and manages in person a dairy farm in Maryland, producing milk for sale in the city of Baltimore. He once said to me that he found the only safe milk business was making the best milk, and he would not keep a cow in his herd that did not prove profit- able as a dairy animal. But his letter tells the story : " Twenty cows in my herd of A. J. 0. 0. Jerseys, being all the cows I had that had dropped more than one calf, yielded 119,495 pounds 14 ounces of milk in twelve months, being an average of 5,974f pounds for each cow, and every one of these cows bore a calf during the year. The milk of every cow was weighed separately, morning and night, every day except Sunday, when the yield was assumed to be the same as that of the previous day. Calves were allowed to suck their dams for three days and no estimate made of the milk so used. Eight of these cows were imported and the others home-bred. The lowest record for the year was that of an im- ported cow, over twelve years old, 4,181 pounds 6 ounces ; and the highast wis a home-bred cow, 8,383 pounds. I have only made two butter tests for seven days, among these cows. One gave IG pounds 12 ounces, and the other over 14 pounds of butter, both on a trifle more than the regular dairy rations. I made quite a number of tests of one to three days, on the regular feed, and was quite satisfied that there was only one cow in the twenty that would not make over 10 pounds of butter j)er week on their reg- DIFFERETSrCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. 89 ular daily food, and that a majority of them would go over 11 pounds. I have no other means of ascertaining the quality of the milk produced except the cream glass, which, used daily, showed from 19 to 31 per cent, of cream, — whatever that may prove. If we had an Agricultural Experiment Station in this State, I would know the per cent, of fat and total solids. I have always, since my boyhood, been a lover of cows, and began with Devons, — then tried Ayrshires, and finally Jerseys. For all dairy purposes I shall stand by the latter. The Guernseys stand high in my estimation, but I have reason to think that they are not such persistent milkers as the Jerseys. You did not ask my opinion of Jersey cows, or the respective merits of the various breeds, but I throw this in." Good cheese is made from whole milk, or that from which no part of the cream has been taken. In old times little else was thought of. Xow so many inferior kinds are made that the designation " full cream cheese " is given to the standard product of first quality. The differences in this class of dairy products, to which I shall briefly refer, are not those incident to the processes which result in ''skims" and ''filled" cheese (lard or oil substituted for fat re- moved in cream) but relate to the variations occurring in the quantity and quality of full cream cheese made from an equal weight of whole milk from different breeds of cows. One would not at first think that milk of extreme richness of fat or cream, and specially adapted to butter making, would be desirable for cheese. But in well made cheese, a very large share of the total solids of the milk are secured in the product, nearly all the caseine and the fat, although most of the sugar escapes in the whey. Con- sequently, that which is richest in total solids will make the most cheese per hundredweight of milk; and the general statement is true, that milk best suited to butter is most profitable for cheese. The data regarding cheese made from the milk of pure bred cows of different breeds is meager, but the principle stated is borne out by experience with Jersey milk. The general average in good cheese making districts is ten pounds of cheese to every hundredweight of milk ; with milk from pure Jerseys, in large number, on the com- mon factory plan, it has been found that the same weight of milk will give over twelve pounds of cheese, a gain of more than 25 per cent, in quantity of product. At several public exhibitions in Canada diTring recent years, and also at the Ontario Experiment Farm, the milk from selected cows of different breeds has been tested in various ways, and among the rest with reference to the available curd or 90 DIFFEHENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. cheese making qualities. (The animals being few in number, I do not regard these results as alone settling any points of comparison, but they may serve in corroboration of other statements made.) The details have been widely published, so it is sufficient, for present purposes, to state the general results. The order of merit as cheese- makers indicated was as follows : 1st trial, Jerseys, Shorthorns, Ayr- shires, Guernseys, Devons, Galloways, Holsteins, Polled Aberdeens ; 2d trial. Jerseys, Ayrshires, Shorthorns, Holsteins ; 3d trial, Jerseys, Ayrshires, Devons. In the second trial, the Ayrshires led on quantity of curd without fat, but with curd and fat took second place. With this exception, the Jerseys stood first in quantity of curd as well as of fat. In regard to quantity of caseine alone, in the milk of differ- ent breeds, the table previously referred to shows their relatioji with approximate accuracy, in the column headed ''Protein." The same table gives the differences m chemical composition and computed value, between average full-cream cheese, the same made from pure Jersey milk, half skim cheese, and that made from skim- milk and from whey. There is very little light here as to the merits of different breeds of cattle, as respects the quality of cheese made from their milk, although the surprising fact is shown that Jersey made cheese is so much richer in both caseine (proteids) and fat, that it is worth a cent more a pound than the average full cream cheese of America, as an article of nutritious food. Upon this point, Prof. Arnold says in his American Dairying : '' The business of the Jersey cow is emphatically that of butter making. Her milk, however, is rich in cream matter, and, contrary to the general belief, is capable of making as fine cheese as it does butter. It is a new feature, worthy of note in the uses of this breed of cattle, that their milk can, without the waste of its buttery matter, be converted into a strictly fancy cheese, as rich as English Stilton. Analyses of cheese from pure Jersey milk, made at Cornell University, have shown over 40 per cent. fat. The table upon which we have been depending gives so little in regard to differences in cheese, that I append another, with consider- ably more data in this connection : DIFFERElSrCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS.

This is butter, — the culmination of the dairyman's art. This great delicacy consists of the natural fat of the milk, Avith some water, and should contain nothing else, except as we choose to flavor it with salt. The perfection of butter making is to secure these fats, separated from the serum or fluid of the milk, and gathered in a mass, with as little chemical and physical change as possible. So it may be said that we get the butter from the milk, rather than " make " it. Unfortunately, perfection has not been reached in this art, and there is always pres- ent in butter, mingled with the fats and mainly dissolved in the water, more or less of the protein or curd and of the sugar of milk. It is these constituents which play the mischief with butter, by start- ing the chemical changes leading to rancidity and decomposition, and which we consequently endeavor to reduce to the minimum. 92 DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. While, therefore, in nearly all other food products, the presence of protein (because of its high nutrient quality) adds to the value of the article, — if Ave place butter at all in the list of foods, that which has the highest nutrient value is the poorest in those qualities which go to make fine butter. We buy butter for its fat, and the more fat and the less water and protein, the better it is, as butter. In our table comparing foods, there are averages given of butter of different kinds, and, for the reasons stated, the best butter is designated by the highest figures in the column of carbo-hydrates, and not in the " Value " column. Examining butter in detail, it is found to be composed of very complex fats, the chemist naming eight or ten, which number he di- vides about equally into insoluble fatty acids and volatile fatty acids; also, in their combination Avith glycerine, into solid fats and fluid fats. It is not my purpose, however, to go into these details, but to call attention to the differences in butter, as it usually exists. Among the many Avritings upon the composition of butter none has seemed to me so ingenious and painstaking in method, or practical in conclusion, as the Avork of Dr. S. M. Babcock, chemist of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva. At the annual fat stock and dairy shows in Chicago, in 1885 and 1886, and at the Bay State Agricultural Society's fair at Boston, in October, 1886, I was able to secure for this gentleman samples of the premium butters of known origin, — the certificate of the maker, as to the method and breed of the cows giving the milk, accompanying every exhibit. Upon these Dr. Babcock pursued his investigations, and he personally obtained another set of samples of butter, with the history of each, at the New York Dairy and Cattle Show, May, 1887. Based upon his examinations of this last lot. Dr. Babcock prepared his report upon ''Variations in the Composition of American Butters," which I have already mentioned, and to some parts of which I now wish to refer. The butters upon Avhich he Avorked, and Avhich gave the re- sults presented in his tables (see Proceedings of Society for the Pro- motion of Agricultural Science, eighth meeting. New York City, August, 1887, page 17), were twenty-six in number, seven being from Jersey cows, seven from pure Holstein-Friesians, tAVO from pure Guernseys, one from Ayrshire, and nine of premium butter from mixed milk, no special breed predominating. These samples were examined to determine the variation liable to occur in the best grades of American butters, and especially to note how far these variations might be attributed to breed and to the individuality of the coav. (Some of the samples representing each DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. 93 breed were from the milk of a single registered cow.) The general determinations were noted as a matter of some interest, but attention was mainly devoted to the composition of the butter fats. The fol- lowing are the average extreme figures for these prize butters, and probably fairly represent the average composition of first-class butter in this country: Water. Highest - --- 13.16 Average - "^q'^a Lowest — ; "-26 Fat. 8T.87 86.44 83.19 Ash. 4.23 2.14 0.96 Curd. 1.02 0.60 0.34 It may be noted that these butters averaged better than those in the food table, the average here being about equal to the Ayrshire butter in that table, and the poorest here being rather better than the poorest there. (It should also be stated that none of the milk and butter of these and other recent examinations by Dr. Babcock are included in the averages of the food tables previously noticed.) The further examinations comprised determinations of the rela- tive quantity of volatile fatty acids ; of insoluble acids, by what is called the "Iodine Number" ; of the melting point ; and a test de- vised by Dr. Babcock of the viscosity of soap solutions made from butter. The technology of the chemical processes it is hardly desirable to describe here, but they are necessarily referred to by their peculiar names in the following abstract from Dr. Babcock's table and his deductions from it : Comparisons of Butters from Different Breeds of Cows. Breed. Jersey Guernsey. - Ayrsliire .- Holstein All others Average ol" all Iodine Number. 31.2 31.5 37.8 40.0 35.6 35.6 Melting Point. Viscosity Nuuiber.

The insoluble fatty acids were found qaite constant in amount, but very variable in composition. The "' Iodine Number " indicates the relative proportion of oleic acid and the absolute quantity of this soft fat in the total fats of the butter. '^ The influence of breed upon this factor is very great ; one of the most marked characteris- tics of Holstein butter, when compared with that of the Jersey or other breeds, being shown in its high per cent, of olein. This ren- ders butter less flrm in warm weather, although it does not materially lower the true melting point." (The quotations are from Dr. Bab- cock's article. He preferred to compare Holstein and Jersey butter because they showed the greatest contrast, and also because, having several samples of each, equal in number, the averages were deemed more reliable than those of the other breeds of which he had only one or two samples.) The melting point is expressed in degrees of the Centigrade ther- mometer, and the record illustrates the observed fact that it requires a higher degree of temperature to melt Jersey butter than the average. From a test not shown by the above abstract from his table. Dr. Babcock determined " that the proportion of palmitic and other fatty acids of less molecular weight than oleic and stearic, is considerably greater in Jersey than in Holstein butter." The viscosity test indicated breed peculiarities very clearly, as well, in the composition of butter from single cows not shown by other methods. This is a very clever method of testing, and espe- cially applicable to the detection of adulterants in butter ; it is fully explained in the Eeport of the N. Y. Agricultural Experi- ment Station for 1880. In this instance, the pure Holstein butters had an average viscosity of 237, ranging from 112 to 461 ; the pure Jersey butters averaged 74, and ranged from 50 to 103. These numbers are relative only, but representative of a marked con- trast. Dr. Babcock says, " The other conclusions in regard to the differences which exist between Jersey and Holstein butters are con- firmed by the viscosities of their soap solutions," (i. e., by his viscos- ity test). Although these fine analytical tests may not be well understood by these brief technical references, it seemed proper to adhere closely to the conclusions of the original report, before stating the practical deductions. Now, as to the latter: "The influence of breed of the cow upon the composition of the butter fat is no less marked than it DIFFERENCES IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. 95 is upon the composition of the milk, and, contrary to general accep- tation (this statement is based upon other investigations), that does not appear to be materially affected by the character of the food." (Dr. Babcock. ) Among the effects of breed thus noted, are those differences in butter which relate to its firmness, resistance to heat, texture or ''grain," flavor and general high quality, by reason of a larger proportion of the more delicate fats. In all these particulars, butter from pure Jersey milk excels, while that from other breeds fol- lows in the order given in the last table. In conclusion, it is hoped that facts of a reliable character have been herein presented in sufl&cient number and with such reasonable distinctness as to show the great differences which occur in dairy products, — milk, cheese and butter, — the influence of breeds of cattle in causing these differences, and the consequent practical value of a study of this subject when selecting stock for the profitable conduct of any branch of dairying. NuMEEOUs Facts ABOUT Jersey Cattle. I^UMEEOUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE JERSEYS FOR BUTTER. The strongest and best claim for the Jersey is as the butter cow. As such slie stands unrivalled. It is when used as a butter-producer that the Jersey gives the greatest profit. Eeports are constantly ap- pearing of some remarkable performance of a Jersey cow in making butter. In this pamphlet authentic accounts are given of three registered cows which each produced over nine hundred pounds of butter in one year. These cases illustrate the possible attainments of the Jersey. But it is extremely misleading and discouraging alike to breeders and buyers for any one to infer or to argue from such exceptional records that every good Jersey cow should be expected to do likewise, or even approach such results. Mr. Smith's record of 321 lbs. of butter, the average product per cow, is a very much better example of what may be expected from a good Jersey herd kept for profitable butter-making. Every one with dairy experience knows that a cow which yields a pound of butter a day for a long time is doing well. A record of ten pounds a week, sustained for several months, indicates a very good cow, whatever the breed. '' Fourteen pound cows" are very numerous among Jerseys, but they are still the exception, not the rule, and the number is really limited which con- tinue to give two pounds a day for any length of time. It may there- fore be doubted whether such truly remarkable records as those herein recited are of service to Jersey interests in general, except as evidence of the inbred tendency of this race to butter-production. A Jersey herd with an average product of over three hundred pounds of butter a year for every female over two years old may be called a good herd. Three hundred and fifty pounds for the average- is a worthy ambition, and may be reasonably expected as the result of proper effort. Four hundred pounds is a very high annual average^ and there are few herds of any size capable of such a result. 99 100 JN'UMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE, Such satisfactory averages are attained only by the careful exami- nation and careful testing of single cows, that the poorer ones may be developed or weeded out. And it is by this process of close obser- vation and judicious private tests that Jersey cows are periodically discovered capable of performances in butter-making like those of Eurotas, Mary Anne of St. Lambert, Matilda 4th, Massena and Landseer's Fancy. H. E. A. JERSEYS FOR MILK. It is a prevalent but mistaken idea that Jerseys are generally small milk-producers. Their habit of persistency in milking — one of the important characteristics of the breed — results in creditable records, as a rule, for the milk-product of the year. The annual milk-product of Jerseys in America averages decidedly more than that of otir '^ native" milch cows. Dairy herds kept for the quantity of their milk-product, with little regard to quality, and maintained, by frequent sales and purchases, at that, are considered satisfactory if they produce an average of 700 gallons, or 2,800 quarts of milk a year. This is 6,000 lbs. Herds capable of an annual yield of 3,500 quarts, or 7,500 lbs., are very rare. Yet Jersey herds maintained by their own increase are by no means uncommon which average more than 6,000 lbs. of milk a year. Mr. Smith's herd, previously men- tioned, made an average of 7,100 lbs. ; Mr. Paddock's cow, Massena, gave 9,099 lbs. ; and twelve cows reported by Messrs. Miller & Sibley (see p. 116) ranged from 7,000 to 16,000 lbs. a year, four of them over 10,000 lbs. each, and an average for the twelve of 8,700 lbs., or over 4,000 quarts of milk per year ! JERSEYS FOR CHEESE. Keports of the capability of the Jersey cow in cheese-production, especially Mr. Fuller's letters calling attention to the results of Canadian trials made by Professor Brown, have caused much com- ment and surprise. This is, however, a perfectly rational result. Economy in cheese-production is largely a question of the ratio of milk used to the cheese made, or, in other words, of the total solids of the milk. Jersey milk has long been known to have a higher percentage of total solids than that of any other breed. It has not been largely devoted to cheese-making, because it has been generally turned to more profit otherwise. Milk may do pretty well for cheese ITUMEKOUS FACTS ABOUT JERSFA' CATTLE. 101 which is not suited to making butter, while milk good for butter is almost certain to be equally good for cheese. Several years ago, at a factory in Winthrop, Maine, where the milk received was nearly all from pure or grade Jersey cows, more cheese to the hundredweight of milk was made than in any other factory record existing. This product, too, was noted for its exceptionally high quality. JERSEY BEEF. The first duty of the Jersey cow is to produce milk of the highest quality. To this service she is specially adapted, and this duty she faithfully performs. But the idea that if, for any reason, a Jersey is not profitable as a dairy animal, it must be thrown away, is extremely absurd. It is folly to expect to profitably make beef of a cow of any breed which has been steadily milked for twelve or fifteen years. But a Jersey of good age and full vigor, male or female, which is not breeding or milking, is as capable as the animals of any dairy breed to profitably convert its food into flesh. Jersey bulls have to be handled with care to prevent acquiring too much flesh. Steers of Jersey blood fatten easily and make excellent beef, as well as active, willing workers. Jersey cows full grown and not over ten or twelve years old, if dry and not in calf, will usually lay on flesh and fat readily. The following is a record of two Jersey cows fed for beef because no longer useful dairy animals, although from different causes. One Avas an imported cow, the other of imported parents : DRESSED WEIGHT OF PARTS. •*'*^- I^I'^E WEIGHT. 4 QUARTERS. TONGUE. TALLOW. HIDE TOTAL €J^ years.

And in both cases the meat was well marbled and the flesh exceedingly fine in grain, tender, juicy, and of good flavor. It was regarded as unusually good beef, the only possible objection being the deep orange color of the fat. THE SIZE OF JERSEY COWS. An objection to Jerseys often heard from persons not well ac- quainted with the breed is that the cows are small— too small to suit farmers generally. While it is true that there are many small Jerseys, it is also true that there are many of good size ; and any breeder can. 102 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. with a little effort, build up a herd large enough for any dairy pur- poses. It is by no means unusual for Jersey cows to weigh over one thousand pounds when in working order. Mr. Burnett states that the average weight of the entire milking herd at Deerfoot Farm is about 1,050 lbs. In other cases where breeders have given special attention to size the average weight of a herd is as great. Mr. C. E. Brown, of Nova Scotia, who owns Nabritza (No. 5820), states that her usual weight is 1,500 lbs., and that she has weighed 1,650 lbs. at times. Her dam, Branitza (5388), was bought by Mr. Brown in May, 1876, when in very low condition, although she had a good frame and then weighed 790 lbs. She had been half starved all her life. She was then put on a generous diet, served in June, 1876, and until March, 1877, when Nabritza was dropped, the dam was steadily gaining. In November, 1877, Branitza weighed 1,120 lbs., in fair order — a gain of 330 lbs. in an adult cow. This gain while breeding seems to have given an impetus to the calf. Nabritza weighed 187 lbs. when two months old, 595 lbs. at eight months, 725 lbs. at twelve months, 1,055 lbs. at twenty months, 1,290 lbs. at three years, and 1,540 at four years of age. An own sister of this cow habitually weighs 1,050 lbs., and a son two years old weighed 1,200 lbs. THE JERSEY COMPARED WITH OTHER BREEDS. [From the American Dairyman, New York.] Extract from a Letter hy VALANCEY E. FULLER, of OaUands, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Dear Sir : In the advance reports issued by Prof. William Brown, of the Ontario Experimental Farm, some most valuable and interesting comparative tests are set out between a cow of each of the breeds claiming special attention as dairy animals— namely. Jerseys, Ayrshires and Holsteins. The Jersey was 3 years old, weighed 830 lbs., calved February; the Ayrshire was 4 years old, of 1,150 lbs. weight, calved January; and the Holstein, 3 years old, weighed 900 lbs., calved January. ... By a series of weekly tests conducted by Prof. Brown, from December, 1884, to July, 1885, we find that the following results were arrived at as to these three, out of twelve breeds, of which specimen cows were tested: CREAM BUTTER PER 100 CHEESE-CURD PER TOTAL BUTTER AND CURD.

The chemical analysis of milk from same source and in same tests showed the following total solids: Jerseys 14.65 (first of all breeds). Ayrshh'es .13.53 (second of all breeds). Holsteins 11.88 (ninth of all breeds). Some might contend that the Jersey was an especially good one. In my judgment, she was not above but rather below the aver- age Jersey. Granting that this is not sufficient proof, as a rule the best are brought out at our Provincial and Toronto exhibitions. At the Provincial Exhibition just finished the Holsteins were represented in large numbers, about 3 Holsteins to every Jersey, many of the former with very large reported tests of milk. At this exhibition tests were made by Prof. Brown and Prof. Barre, of the Ontario Experimental Farm, for milk, butter and cheese combined, according to the plan and count of points adopted in England and Scotland at the dairy fairs, as follows: (1) Weight of milk — one point is allowed for every pound given in 2-i hours. (2) Quantity of butter — in England the standard is 3 lbs. to every 100 lbs. of milk; in Canada the standard is 3.5 lbs. to every 100 lbs. of milk; add or deduct 10 points for every one above or below. (3) Cheese-curd per 100 lbs. of milk— allow one point for every pound. (■4) Time since calving— add one point for every ten days. All the cows were judged by the same count of points and under similar cir- cumstances, but in different classes. Eight Holsteins entered in their class, 3 Ayrshires in theirs, 2 grade Short-horns in theirs, and 2 Jer- seys in their class. The Jersey cow Rose of Eden led them all, mak- ing the largest score ever made by any cow of any breed in the world for a similar contest — namely, 109 points, and this for butter, milk, and cheese combined; Ayrshire second (83.85), Short-horn grade third (81.52), the other Jersey fourth (78.10), Ayrshire fifth (68.27), Holstein sixth (04.29), Holstein seventh (59.07), Short-horn grade eiglith (55.57), Holstein ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fifteenth (40.22), and Ayrshire fourteenth (49.42). The Jersey excelled the highest combined score of the Ayrshire 21 points and the highest of the Holsteins by 45 points. The lowest Jersey ex- celled every Holstein by over 13 points. The averages of each breed were as follows : BUTTER PER ICK) WET CHEESE-CVRD PER MILK IN 24 UOURS. LliS. MILK. 100 I.B;;. MILK.

The highest milk record is that of a grade Short-horn, 46.80 lbs. The best milk record of Holstein is 37.60 lbs., and the lowest 23.60 lbs. Highest and lowest Ayrshire, 29.50 lbs., and 18.12 lbs. Highest and lowest Jersey, 27 lbs. and 24.12 lbs. Quantity of milk required to one pound of butter — Jersey, less than 14 lbs.; Ayrshire, over 23 lbs.; Holstein, over 33 lbs.; Short-horn grade, over 29 lbs. Here is the very strongest testimony, in the most open and public manner, and in the hands of disinterested experts, of the very great supe- riority of the Jersey, not for butter alone, but for that contained in milk, butter and cheese. Lest it be contended that these two Jerseys were the pick of the Oaklands herd, I may say that Eose of Eden, for butter-production, does not i-ank as the first by any means in the Oaklands herd, but about seventh, and that the other Jersey has no butter record thus far. The weather at the London Exhibition was very cold and wet, and doubtless all the cows gave less milk than at home. At the Industrial Exhibition held in Toronto the following week, a competitive test was made of the various breeds, by the same count of points, under the same rules, and by the same experts. The Hol- stein men failed to enter any of their stock, though in number they far excelled the Jerseys and the Ayrshires at this exhibition. There were entered six Jerseys, three Ayrshires and one Devon. They were awarded the following positions, according to the results of the tests : Jerseys first, second, third, fifth, sixth and seventh places ; Ayrshires fourth, ninth and tenth ; Devon eighth. The cow Jolie of St. Lam- bert headed them all. Rose of Eden, which had contracted a cold at Provincial, stood second, and Sweet Briar of St. Lambert third. The average quantities given by the various breeds were as follows : BUTTER PEE 100 WET CHEESE-CURD PER MILK IN 24 HOURS. LBS. MILK. 100 LBS. MILK. Jersevs 23.23 5.57 16.36 Ayrshires 29.37 4.15 15.54 Devon (1) 33.00 3.31 13.33 Taking these tests at both exhibitions, it will be seen that the Jer- sey largely excels all breeds in butter-production ; that the leading Ayrshire excels the Jersey slightly in cheese-curd at the Provincial, but at the Industrial, Toronto, the Jersey excels the Ayrshire in cheese-curd. Taking it as a whole, the palm must be awarded to the Jersey beyond any question of doubt, yet one must admire the record of the Ayrshire, whose progress to popular favor, though not so' much heralded as some of the other breeds, is sure and steady. NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 105 Taking Prof. Brown's advance report, his dairy tests from Decem- ber, 1884, to July, 1885, his analyses of milk, the public tests, it will be seen that the Jersey has corroborated in each the correctness of the results contained in the advance report, and shows clearly her ability to excel all other breeds save in the giving of water. HOLSTEINS VS. JERSEYS. [From the Breeders' Gazette, Chicago.] By MAJ. CAMPBELL BROWN, of Spring Hill, Maury Co., Tenn. When Mr. V. E. Fuller's two Jerseys beat all eight of the Hol- steins exhibited at the London (Can.) Fair last fall, the breeders of Holsteins at once cried out that this was no fair test, claiming, among other things, that the Holsteins shown there were not fair specimens of the breed. And, indeed, looking at the wretched figure they had made, I myself was inclined to allow some force to this excuse, and suppose the public probably took the same view of it. But I have lately read the details of a trial where the plea of poor representatives will not avail, and where the Holsteins were yet more decisively beaten. Moreover, in every point where comparison is possible, the results of this trial, the London Show, and the experi- ments of Profs. Brown and Barre at the Ontario Experimental Farm sustain each other remarkably. In the fall of 1884, at the Amsterdam International Exhibition, Mr. Walter Gilbey, a prominent Jersey breeder of England, bought two out of the best six prize cows in the dairy classes and took them to England. One had calved in June, the other in July. After reaching England one took first prize in her class at the London Dairy Show, but lost the prize for the best milker " on account of the poverty of her milk." Mr. Gilbey placed these two cows on trial beside two selected from his own herd. Two tests were made. In the first the cattle were on grass, but received also grain, hay, cabbage, bean-meal, etc. ; in the second they were stall-fed. The object of the experiment was to ascertain, by a fair comparison, which breed was the more valuable for butter. Mr. James Long, from whose letter to an English paper the follow- ing details are taken, was one of the twenty dairy commissioners sent from England to examine the cattle and dairies of Holland, and was also one of the judges at Amsterdam, where, after judging, he assisted Mr. Gilbey's agent to select his two cows. 106 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. The results of the two tests were as follows (the milk-yield is given in pints^ the food consumed and the butter obtained in pounds and ounces) : FIRST TEIAL, FOURTEEJS^ DAYS, ON" GRASS AND FEED.

Two Jerseys averaged 755 194 13 03 Two Holsteins averaged 1,140 365 10 01 By taking the amount of food consumed and of milk and butter yielded by the Jerseys in each experiment as the unit of measure, we shall have the following table of percentages to represent the per- formances of the Holsteins. For greater exactness the calculation is carried to thousandths. FOOD CONSUMED MILK- BUTTER- (PERCENT.) YIELD. YIELD. On grass — Jerseys 1.000 1.000 1.000 Holsteins .-.. 1.429 1.774 0.844 Stall- fed- Jerseys 1.000 1.000 1.000 Holsteins ..- 1.497 1.881 0.763 There is nothing about this table to astonish the experienced breeder or dairyman. The Jerseys being butter cows, and bred for production of butter, made it more economically than the Holsteins. When taken from pasture and put on dry feed they fell off largely in milk, but hardly at all in butter. The Holsteins, on the other hand, being bred for milk and cheese, fell off less in milk and far more in butter. But proceeding with the analysis of these tests, we find that, when at grass, the Jersey gave 1 lb. of butter to every 32 lbs. of feed, as against 1 lb. to every 54 lbs. for the Holstein. When stall-fed the discrepancy is still greater ; the figures then stand : Jerseys, 1 lb. to 57^^ ; Holsteins, 1 lb. to 113^. The next step surprised me greatly. When on grass the Jerseys gave 1 pint of milk to 1^''^ lbs. of feed, the Holsteins 1 pint to ly^ lbs. — a difference practically inappreciable. When stall-fed the Hol- steins required 3yVo lbs. to the pint of milk, and the Jerseys ^^W lbs. ; that is to say, the same food which made 5 lbs. of Holstein milk would make but 4 lbs. of Jersey milk when the cattle were stall- fed, but 4 lbs. of Jersey milk would make within a small fraction of as much butter as 8 lbs. cf Holstein milk. NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 107 It seems that these prize-winning Holsteins proved actually un- able, with large advantages of feed, to make as much butter from week to week as the Jerseys. In the first experiment they required 170 lbs. and in the second 197 lbs. of feed to make as much butter as the Jerseys manufactured from 100 lbs. Mr, Fuller has already printed the experience of Profs. Brown and Barre at the Ontario Experimental Farm, and the results of the fair at London, Can. But it is well to place them alongside the tests of Mr. Gilbey, that your readers may see how remarkably they sup- port each other. Look at this little table, the last I shall now inflict upon you : AVERAGE YIELD OF BUTTER IN POUNDS AND HUNDREDTHS TO 100 LBS. OF MILK. JERSEYS. HOLSTEINS. Prof. Brown's experiments ,5. 10 2.40 London (Can.) Dairy Show (tv/o Jersey's and eight Holsteins) 7.28 2.98 Mr. Gilbey's experiments (two Jerseys and two Holsteins).. 6.58 2.97 Average 6.32 2.78 Two remarks seem proper here : I am sure that Prof. Brown's analysis figures are too low for both Holsteins and Jerseys, if well kept; but they preserve the proportion with a fair degree of accuracy. Again, I have treated the pint of milk, in Mr. Gilbey's tests, as practically a pound. If it should be the larger pint of a pound and a quarter the proportions will remain the same, though the average of richness for both Jerseys and Holsteins will be slightly lowered — not more, perhaps, than it would be raised by a correction of Prof. Brown's figures. As confirming the results here given, Mr. Long states that the analysis of the milk of the Dutch breed of cows in every successive year since the establishment of the meetings of the British Dairy- men's Association shows its poorness in butter-fat. He says that there is scarcely an instance in which the fatty solids reach three per cent., the majority being, I believe, less than 2. Go. But in the table above the general average is 2.78. I know of no public trials where the results disagree with those here given, but I do know of two private tests in this State, in one of which about forty pounds and in the other about thirty pounds of milk were required to the pound of butter. If the Holstein breeders really believe that their cattle are as good butter-making machines as the Jerseys, why do they not accept some of the challenges made by Jersey breeders? Or, if they object to that, why do they not make a few official tests and invite the pres- ence of persons interested in rival breeds of cattle ? As long as they 108 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. stuck to their competition with the old "general-purpose cow " for a combination of ''milk, cheese, butter and beef/' none of the ad- vocates of other improved breeds cared to question their claims. But when they entered into competition with the beef breeds at Chicago, they quickly found their true rank as beef cattle ; and if we can only get them to meet the Jersey a few times in public competition the relative rank of the two breeds as butter-producers can soon be fixed. A SMALL JERSEY HERD AND A GOOD YEAR'S RECORD. By G. B. smith (of G. B. & C. S. SMITH), Meadowbrook Herd, Eagle, Micliigan. The writer has a herd of nine cows, six thoroughbred and three grade Jerseys. For the year 1885 they averaged nearly 7,100 lbs. of milk each and made 2,890 lbs. of butter. Each raised a valuable calf, and the thoroughbred cows, with the addition of younger ani- mals and breeding bull, won '$318 in premiums in two weeks ; also won $25 in premiums on butter. The average price of our butter for the year has been 35| cents per pound ; shipping expenses have been 2^ cents per lb., leaving SS^- cents. This made the cash income from the nine cows $1,203 for the year. The value of calves, skim- milk, and manure can be estimated. During the winter the cows were fed good hay plentifully, six quarts of ground corn and oats, and half a bushel of mangolds daily ; during summer nothing but pasture. From the middle of October until freezing they lived on pumpkins and mangold-tops. I had a piece of three acres of ground that was very light. For a month and a half I fed two loads of pumpkins and one load of mangold-tops daily to the stock on this piece of ground, and it became completely covered with droppings, so much so, that they could be fed there no longer. A great many farmers will not feed pumpkins to dairy cows, thinking they will be dried up. It certainly did not dry my cows up. They gained all the time, and our butter made from pumpkins and mangold-tops won second premium at the National Dairy Show. A good crop of pumpkins is a grand thing to help out fall pasture. My cows that calved in the spring gave more and richer milk in the month of No- vember than in the month of July, and went into winter quartei-s doing and looking well, simply because I fed them pumpkins. They are an easy crop to raise, and should be raised by every dairyman. I raised 1,275 bushels of mangolds from one and three-quarter acres of NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 109 ground, besides wagon-loads of tops, and it was not as heavy a crop as the ground would have grown, as the seed did not germinate fully. With fodder-corn, roots, good hay, and ground feed dairy cows will do as well and even better in winter than any other season of the year ; warm stables and pure water are also necessary. My nine cows now, in February, 1886, are making 10 lbs. of butter a day, for which I get 40 cents per lb. Five of them have recently calved ; the other four are due in March. RECORD OF LANDSEER'S FANCY FOR ONE YEAR. [Extracts from a Letter in the Jersey Bulletin, Indianapolis, issue of February 24, 1886. By WM. J. WEBSTER, of Columbia, Tenn., President of the Columbia Jersey Cattle Company. Editor Jersey Bulletin : Enclosed find report of test of Landseer's Fancy (2876). As will be seen, she made 936 lbs. 14f oz. from the 2Gth day of January, 1885, to the eve of January 25, 1886, inclusive. She lost time from May 30, 1885, to July 4, 1885, being out to calve, but was not dry at any time. We thought that in making a yearly test we should not count butter made within twenty-five days of calving, so all the milk and butter after May 30 till .July 4 was thrown out. She calved June 29 — bull. Land seer's Pogis — having been served by Pogis Chief (3998) September 22, 1884. So she was four months and four days in calf when the test began, and she car- ried this calf about five months. She Avas bred to Toltec (6831) Sep- tember 29, 1885, stood first service, and now carries the calf, making nine months she carried the calves. This test was made to show her capacity as a butter and brood cow, and was started without refer- ence to time of calving. I have had many inquiries as to her feeding and treatment. A great many think that there must be some unusual treatment to produce such results. It is much more simple thaii they suppose, I regret that no accurate account of her feed was kept during the year, and that I can only give general treatment. There have been several serious mistakes made during the year, and if she had not been a cow of great recuperative power would have broken down. The record shows that our most successful treatment was when she was nnder good, high feed, but not the highest. I am satisfied that there is more in constant care and watchfulness than in forcing, and the feed should be for butter only. . . . 110 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. This cow has been under good treatment for several years, but at the very start was the richest cow I ever saw. She was started on January 36, 1885, on feed of four quarts corn-hearts and two quarts bran, over cut hay, dampened, twice daily ; sometimes she had five or six quarts of corn-hearts, but usually four nuarts. She ran out with the herd then all the time. No material change was made in her treatment until about the 15th of May ; we began to cut down her feed, sometimes increasing and then cutting down, being governed by the condition of the cow. This increasing and cutting down may be seen in the variation of the yield about that time. On the 30th we had about taken all the feed from her, and found that ordinary pasture was not good enough for her. Just here we were very much 25uzzled to know how to treat her. She was bound to have food and plenty of it, as she was still milking ; so I determined to take the risk of milk-fever, . . . and think that more of them are killed from scientific exhaustion than any other cause. I know that a cow should not be fat, but contend that they should be strong and on ris- ing ground when they calve. We took her out of the meadow about two or three days before calving and put her on bran mashes and hay, and she calved in beau- tiful fix. The record immediately after calving proves we made no mistake in this treatment. We gradually increased the feed until it reached four quarts corn-hearts, four quarts oats, two quarts wheat bran at a feed, twice daily, over cut hay at the beginning, but the hay was soon dropped, which was a mistake. She ran out all the time with the herd until cold weather ; sometimes the pastures were good, but for a long time they were destroyed by drought. About the 20th or 21st of September she was, by our manager's mistake, fed double her usual ration — he feeding instead of the herdsman — so she got about a bushel of grain in one day; this threw her off for several days. . . . She came around quickly, and early in October we ordered an official test for her granddaughter, Maquilla (24043), intending to test Landseer's Fancy at the same time, if she was all right. On the 24th of October, when the com- mittee came, they found her out of fix and the test was not begun. Wo started Maquilla, but abandoned it because of her condi- tion. This was partly due to the long high feeding — expecting the committee some time before they came (as this was not the first application for a test, it was inconvenient for the tester to come when first applied for) — but the immediate cause was acorns which the cows got in the pasture. The record at this point ran as low as 1 lb. 12 oz., from the milk of October 24. I then had her put on light NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. Ill feed composed of one sack greeu wheat, some turnips, two quarts corn-hearts, two of oats, two of wheat-bran, with hay at will ; took her up, kept her in large box-stall, had her well groomed and exer- cised morning and night. She gradually improved in health, and on January 1 was in excellent health, so that three days before that she had one gallon corn-hearts, two quarts bran at a feed twice daily, and consumed it quite greedily. On January 1, 1886, I saw her milked morning and evening, and placed it each time under lock and private seal in the test- room, a cemented stone room built for testing purposes, which is inaccessible except through the door, which I sealed. It remained under this seal until I broke it and had it churned. She gave this day 12 lbs. 6 oz. milk, which churned 3 lbs. 1 oz. of butter; it was first well worked and weighed, then salted 1 oz. to pound, then reworked and weighed when ready for market. I need not add that this Avas nearly all cream. I invited a number of my friends, among them Major Brown, Mr. Shirley and Mr. Malone, to see one day of her milk put under seal and churned. It was inconvenient for them to come, so on the 13tli of January I applied for un official test, and Major Alvord — being absent, received my telegram on the 18th — replied by letter and sub- sequently by telegram on the 21st, stating that he would send tester next w^eek, if still wanted. I had then applied to the President of the Tennessee Breeders, who appointed Mr. Hord, the secretary of this association and editor of the Spirit of the Fcwm. He associated with him Mr. J. M. Mayes, President of the Columbia Banking Company, and 11. M. McKay, Vice-President of the Second Xational Bank of this place. Their report has been published and speaks for itself. She gave this day, January 23, 1886, 9 lbs. 4-2- oz. of milk, 2 lbs. lOf oz. of butter ; it was salted 1 oz. to the pound, ready for market as usual. It was weighed both on balance and spring scales, the weights agreeing. Her year was out January 25, and the test was not continued any longer. She was a little ofE when the committee tested her, but is now all right every way. She was tested by the A. J. C. C. in 1883, four months after calving, and in seven days from 123 lbs. 10 oz. milk made 21 lbs. 15 oz. butter. (It Avill be noticed that about the same time from calving she made about the same amount of butter in this test.) For the clerk of the Circuit Coiirt, in 1883, she made 2 lbs. 15 oz. butter from 16 lbs. 10 oz. milk. In 1884, for :Mr. S. X. Warren — who, I learned, doubted her extreme richness, and Avas invited to test her, to his satisfaction, and who reported the test at 112 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. the time to the Country Gentleman — she made in one day, two months before calving, from 16 lbs. 3 oz. of milk 2 lbs. 11^ oz. butter. In 1886, tested by the Tennessee Breeders' Association, 9 lbs. 4^ oz. milk made 2 lbs. lOf oz. butter. Better than all, we have the cow, a living witness of her own richness and ability. She is as great a brood cow as a butter cow. Landseer's Fancy, best week, 29 lbs. ^ oz.; her daughter. Rosy Dream, 19 lbs. loz. ; her daughter, Toltec's Fancy, 17 lbs. 6 oz. ; combined for cow and two daughters, 65 lbs. 7^ oz. She is also the dam of Proxy's Fancy, at the rate of 14 lbs., and of Maquita (7589), 3 lbs. 13 oz. butter in two days from 40 lbs. milk — no preparation for test and just off of cars, having been sent to us to breed. Maquita is dam of Maquilla (24043), test 20 lbs. 1 oz. Her sire's dam. Dazzle (379), is dam of Duke F. (6134); he sired Jersey Queen of Barnet, 851 lbs. in a year, also Snowdrop F.

Gold Prince, son of Landseer, is sire of three and grandsire of several over 14 lbs., but they were stricken from the Herd Register in the Violet case, and have dropped out of notice; prominent among them Pride of Eastwood, 20 lbs. 14 oz. . . . Some breeders term Landseer's Fancy an inbred cow; I do not, but line-bred, with an out-cross culminating in the tested cow. Her dam is the result of breeding half-brother and sister together, but this is probably not too close if there is an immediate out-cross. I am informed that her near relatives. Young Fancy (97), Fancy, 2d (95), and Fancy (9), were all great cows, but they lived before the day of tests, so we must look to their descendants. ... I have my own views as to which line is most prominent, but may be mistaken, and leave the public to judge for itself. It may be, and probably is, a combination of several strong lines. I believe in bringing together the blood of all the best families. It is well, too, to note that the following are bred on this formula, viz. : First the union of relatives not closer than half-sister and half-brother, and then an immediate out-cross: TEST FOR A YEAR.

Malone, Franklin" County, N. Y., March 19, 1886. Maj. Henry E. Alvord : Dear Sir : In compliance with your request I give you a statement of the doings of the Jersey cow Massena (25732). Massena dropped a calf March 14, 1884. In the first month after calving she gave 975 lbs. of milk ; in the second month she gave 1,020 lbs. ; and in the third month 1,100 lbs., making in all for the three months 3,095 lbs. She was then tested for butter, and made 20 lbs. 7 oz. of butter in seven consecutive days from 210f lbs. of milk. In her fourth month she gave 920 lbs. of milk ; fifth month, 800 lbs. ; and sixth month, 740 lbs., making in all for the second three months 2,400 lbs. She was then tested again for butter, and made in seven consecutive days 10 lbs. 1 oz. from 107 lbs of milk. In the seventh month she gave 719 lbs. of milk ; eighth month, 690 lbs. ; ninth month, 031 lbs., making 2,040 lbs. for the third three months. At the end of the ninth month she was again tested seven days for butter, and she made 14 lbs. 2 oz. from 140 lbs. of milk. As her feed was uniform, as near as possible, through this whole time, I deem it fair to rate her butter according to the average of these tests. This would credit her with 740 lbs. of butter for the nine months. After this Massena was carefully tested for butter until she dropped her calf, and the record is as follows : MILK. BUTTER.

It will be seen that Massena's greatest achievements were performed in the last three months, and particularly in the last month and last half of the month, when she made 1 lb. of butter per day seven days before calving. Massena was fed in summer, besides good, fair pasture, 12 lbs. of grain food per day. From last of August until she was stabled for winter she had in addition green clover twice each day. In winter she had bright, early-cut liaj^, cut and softened with hot water, and grain mixed with it, about 15 lbs. per day. The grain ration was materially increased before she calved. Part of the time she had good corn-stalks in lieu of the hay, treated in same way. She also had potatoes once a day. In colder weather the water she drank was warmed a trifle. Massena consumed in the year 5,250 lbs. of ground feed. This was corn-meal, barley-m.eal, ground oats, wheat-middlings, and wheat-bran ; also about 1,800 lbs. of hay and thirty bushels of potatoes. A liberal valuation for food consumed, including pasturing, would be here ^92.42 ; her produce was 902 lbs. of butter, at 30 cents— 8270.60 ; leaving a net profit of 8178.18. It will be remembered that Massena's test of 20 lbs. 7 oz. was made in June, three months after calving. This Avas made from 210| lbs. of milk. In May, four weeks before this test was made, she gave 208 lbs. of milk in a week. This should have made over 25 lbs. of butter. Massena is a low, broad, capacious cow, with great power for storing feed. She has never weighed less than 850 lbs. , nor over i)00, since I have owned her. She is a great Avorker, and always seems to be hungry. I have often seen her at work alone in the pas- ture where all of the rest of the cows were standing or lying in the shade. The weight of every milking for the year is on record, and also the results of every churning used as a part of the test. The butter was all salted 1 oz. to the pound, thoroughly worked and made ready for market, before being weighed for the record. ]^[assena (25732) was bred in St. Lawrence County, N. Y., near her present home, and was dropped in March, 187G. She is broken in color. Iler dam was bred by Alvin Adams, of Massachusetts, and out of imported parents. Her sire was Kago (1353), owned by the Messrs. Rutherford, of St. Lawrence County, and both his grand- sires and grandams were imported ; one of the former was Sam Weller (271). 116 NUMEEOUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE.

For Ida of St. L. the average grain ration was about thirty ' pounds, while she was averaging 60 lbs. milk a day. La Petite Mere, 2d, during the five months ending March 31, 1886, gave 7,551 lbs. of milk — an average of 23 qts. of milk a day for five months ; for this period the grain ration averaged twenty-two pounds. Matilda, 4th, had liberal though not excessive feeding during her year's work — an average of twenty-five pounds of grain ; her average product for the whole year was 20 qts. per day. During this time the cow was tested for butter from one to seven days in every month and continuously for the last four months ; the lowest possible estimate for her year's butter-yield, based upon the actual records made, is 927 lbs. 8-2- oz. The twelve cows of which there is a year's record above averaged 8,700 lbs., or 4,030 qts., of milk each, and eleven months as their milk- ing period. NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 117 THE EARLY HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF JERSEY CATTLE. By HON. EDWAED BURNETT, Proprietor of Deerfoot Farm, Southhorough, Mass., and Pi^esi- dent Bay State Agricultural Society. From many interesting talks on the subject with the older farmers on the Island of Jersey I think I am safe in saying that the founda- tion of this breed of cattle was a cross on the large red Normandy cow with the small black Brittany many centuries ago. On Jersey it is quite evident that the Brittany predominated at first, and on Guernsey the reverse, as the Guernsey cow of to-day has the color, size, and many characteristics of the famous red and white Normandy cow. Owing to the difficulty of approach to these rock-bound islands this original cross has been kept more or less intact, and time, coupled with good judgment, has formed a distinct breed of cattle noted for the quality and quantity of their butter. Many of the following facts on the development of this breed of cattle I have obtained from Thornton's valuable introduction to the first volume of the English Herd Book. The first authentic notice of these cattle as a distinct breed is furnished in an act passed by the States of Jersey in 1789 to prevent the fraudulent importations of cows, heifers, calves, and bulls from France. Then we find Thomas Quayle's account of the " Agricul- ture of the Islands on the Coast of France," where he resided for five months in the year 1813. A portion of this report is as follows : *'The treasure highest in a Jerseyman's estimation is his cow. She seems to be a constant object of his thoughts and attention, and that attention she certainly deserves." Of color, he says: ''It is com- monly red or red and white, occasionally what is called cream-colored or that color mixed with white. Sometimes they are black or black and white ; some, like the Northwest Highlanders, are black, with a dingy brown-red ridge on the back, and about the nostrils of the same color." He also says : " The extraordinary animals give as much as 24 quarts of milk in the twenty-four hours, and from April to August instances are named of 14 ll)s. of butter made in the week. In summer nine quarts of milk make a pound of butter, and in winter seven quarts produce that quantity." Mr. George Garrard, about the beginning of the present century, writes under the jiatronage of the English Board of Agriculture that '' the cattle from the Chaunel Islands are healthy and subject to no 118 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. particular disease, and in England they bear the strongest winters out of doors ; yet from custom they are always housed on the Islands and fed upon straw. They are easily fattened at any age ; for this purpose parsnips are generally cultivated, though with time they may equally improve on turnips, potatoes, or any of the methods usually practised, as they are not very dainty." Mr. W. Plees, for many years a resident on the Islands, writes in 181T of their being called erroneously the Alderney, " The cows," he says, "are of that breed known in England by the name of Alder- ney cows ; the far greater number, however, if not all, are now sent from Jersey. It is, however, jirobable that the first cows imported into England from these Islands Avere sent from Alderney, and that the name has been continued to prevent any supposed diminution in their value." Another Englishman, in a short article about Jersey written in 1826, remarks : " The cows are so generally sought after and held in such high estimation that they require but little to be said in their praise. By a singular misnomer they are almost universally described in England as Alderney cows. The breed on both Islands is similar." Before I leave this question, so often disputed by men not familiar with the breed and the geograph}^ of these Islands, I will quote from Colonel C. P. Le Cornu's prize essay delivered before the Royal Agricultural Society in 1859 : " The fact of cattle of this type being brought over to England first from Alderney was the cause through Avhich that small and thinly-populated island got its name attached to the produce of Jersey and Guernsey. A military station has long existed in Alderney (the English government spent £3,000,000 there on fortifications, it being supposed to be the natural key to the pro- tection of all the islands), and it is possible men returning from ser- vice there may have been the means of spreading at home the reputa- tion of the Channel Island breed for peculiarly rich milk and butter. Be that as it may, the practice of the Messrs. Fowler, of England, in advertising their numerous sales as being of Alderney cattle, popu- larized the use of the name and has helped to keep it in existence." From all authentic sources we learn that the improvement of this breed, like that of all others, was brought about by a few of the best farmers, who had the judgment and foresight to breed from bulls out of superior cows. During the first part of this century little progress seems to have been made, although in 1836 another and more stringent act was passed by the States to prevent the importa- tion of cattle from France. It was not until 1833, when undoubtedly urged by the success ]N'UMEKOUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 119 achieved in England by the wonderful development of the Short-horn and other breeds of thoroughbred cattle, as shown by the great cattle-shows held in various parts of the country, that a few gentle- men and farmers formed the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of Jersey. The original Mr. Fowler, father of the present English dealers, and Colonel Le Couteur were the most prominent promoters ; and to Colonel Le Couteur, for many years the secretary of this Society, all Jersey breeders of to-day owe a debt of deep gratitude. The first resolution carried was " that encouragement of agricultural and horticultural improvements and the improving the breed of cattle would conduce to the general welfare of the Island." In January, 1834, the Society drew up their first scale of points, with the help of the best breeders and dealers. Two of the best cows- on the Island were selected as models ; one was allowed to be perfect in her forequarters and barrel, and the other in her hind- quarters. Twenty-five points was the requisite for bulls, and 27 for the cows and heifers. The first show was held in March of that year, and £24 was dis- tributed in prizes. In 1835 the show presented not only a larger number of com- petitors, but the animals were much finer specimens and in better condition. The same results were obtained \n 183G, and a suggestion was thrown out that a superior bull be kept in each of the twelve parishes by the Society for the use of farmers. In 1837 two shows were held, a custom continued up to the present day — one for bulls in March, and the other for females in May. £55 were distributed in prizes at these shows. The system of giving points for pedigree (which on the Island meant offspring of prize-winners) began in 1838. Two other most important regulations were also enacted — one to the effect that any person withholding the service of a prize bull from the public shall forfeit tlie premium, and the other that all heifers having been awarded prizes shall be kept on the Island until they shall have dropped their first calf. If previously sold for exportation they shall forfeit the premium. This year three more points were added to the scale, one for growth and two for general appearance — making a total of 28 for bulls, 30 for cows, and 28 for heifers. In five years the value of superior cattle doubled. In 1839 the report of the secretary pointed out that "the atten- tion of the Board of Management is closely directed to the improve- ment of the herd of Island cattle," and it also adds that ''the cows indigenous to our soil had long been celebrated for the purity 120 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. and richness of their milk, but they had been exported from the Island in such poor and wretched condition that they were bought by the English from their cheapness and utility as regarded the dairy only. Until recent years, so little was the breed of this Island dis- tinguished that the cows imported into England were sold as the product of Alderney, although that little speck in the Channel could not have furnished one-hundredth part of the exportation from the Channel islands." The exhibit of this year also showed a marked improvement. In 1840, 19 bulls were decorated and 12 cows and 26 heifers re- ceived premiums. The judges report on this occasion that several animals were rejected, which in former years would have received prizes. They also add that seven years' attention to breeding by the prominent farmers had done much to eradicate that ancient defective characteristic of the Jersey cow — the drooping hindquarter. This was ascribed to better feeding, and the more careful selection of the bulls. At the annual dinner of the Society this year Colonel Le Couteur made the following speech : '' I would tell those that are lukewarm to this Society to look back ten years — the land foul with weeds, crops inferior, liquid manure wasted, and the market ill- supplied. What had been effected ? In cattle beauty of form and flesh had been added to milking and creaming qualities. More cattle had been decorated this year than on any previous occasion, and the breed had been so greatly improved that many of the cattle rejected for having less than nineteen points would have been prize cattle when the Society was formed, so well were their merits now understood." I have quoted more at length and given more space to this period of the history of the Jersey, as it seems to have been that in which the most rapid improvement was made, and Col. Le Couteur's work is clearly and distinctly seen all through it. After 1840 the march of improvement was slower, and the next important advance was the offering of liberal prizes by the Royal Agricultural Society of England at Southampton in 1844 for " Chan- nel Island or Crumpled-horned Cattle." At this show, the report adds, '' it w^as observable that a marked difference existed between the Guernsey and Jersey breeds, the latter being altogether of more delicate and slight form. Mr. Bates, the famous Short-horn breeder, was much pleased by the handling of some of these cattle, and ad- vised careful crossing to better develop this point, as it gives a ten- dency to fattening and milking qualities." NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 121 The Island Society report for this year adds: "It seems pretty well established throughout most dairy farms in England that one Jersey coav to two or three of another breed greatly tends to improve the color and richness of the butter. Hence it behooves the Jersey farmers to be watchful in preserving the coloring and rich proper- ties of their breed." The influence of the Southampton Show evidently led the Royal Agricultural Society of England to pay more attention to this breed, for the next year, 1845, Col. Le Couteur was invited to read his ex- cellent paper " On the Jersey, misnamed the Alderney Cow." The colonel's report to the Island Society in 1846 reviews the situa- tion most carefully. " Perhaps," he says, "' it can be safely asserted that previous to 1833 no one had thought of improving the breed of cattle by any system or fixed rule. The Jersey cow was excellent, as she has ever been, which has been attributed to the circumstances of a few farmers having constantly attended to raising stock from cows of the best milking qualities ; which attention, prosecuted for a long number of years in a small country like ours where such superior qualities would be soon known, led to the excellence of the milking and butter-yielding properties in the race at large. This never could have been attained so generally in any extended country." This point is, in my humble opinion, most well taken, and one that I have often quoted of late years. The potato rot and the agricultural depression more or less af- fected the welfare of the Jersey Royal Society for the next few years. In 1852 the first Parish Shows were held on the Island, St. Peter's taking the lead. At first it was thought to be detrimental to the old parent society, but it proved to be just the opposite, and in five years the competition from each of the twelve parishes at the Roval was so keen that the show was much larger than any previous one. At the beginning of the present half-century our own country made its first importations of any note, and to Messrs. Motley, Taintor, Norton, and Buck belongs the credit of many of our famous strains of blood. At this period of our agricultural history, great interest had been developed in beef cattle, and Americans were attending Short- horn sales in England and paying prices heretofore unheard of. This evidently awakened the interest in other breeds of cattle, and as dairy animals the Jerseys (or as Col. Le Couteur says, the misnamed Alderneys) attracted much attention, especially in the New England and Middle States. The Island report of 1853, 1854, and 1855 speaks of American buyers, and also warns the breeders of the injury tliey are doing to themselves and to their neighbors in selling off their 122 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. prize animals. The Island report of 1858 was retrospective : " Thirty years ago the cattle were ill-fed, ill-shaped beasts that knew not the taste of mangolds, carrots, or swedes, scarcely that of hay ; whose stabling was wretched, and whose winter food consisted mostly of straw, and a few watery turnips. Now they are well fed, improved in quality and symmetry, and well housed. New buildings dotted the Island, and general prosperity dawned on the farmer." During this period, in America, the Jerseys were attracting atten- tion and a number of small importations were made. In the Massachusetts Agricultural reports from 1853 to 1859 I find frequent mention made of them, and always in their favor as dairy cows, the wonderful richness of their milk and superb quality of their butter being noticed. Mr. Thomas Motley's selections for the "'Massachu- setts Society for Promoting Agriculture " reflect great credit on his judgment, and his tests in 1853 and 1854 of Flora, 511 lbs. 2 oz. in fifty weeks, were quoted by all the agricultural papers throughout the country as being very remarkable. Fed as the cow was, her record to-day deserves a place perhaps second to none. Her daughter, at the exhibition of the United States Agricultural Society in Boston, took the first prize, and from this family Jersey Belle of Scituate was descended. The Jersey slowly but surely gained ground, and from these early importations the cattle spread and increased, although not without much opposition on the part of the Short-horn, Devon, and Ayrshire breeders. Fearing, Morris, Wellington, Maitland, and others con-, tinned to import, and the advance of this breed into public favor as butter cows never seems to have been checked, although at times the improvement of the cattle themselves developed more slowly. On the Island prices gradually advanced as the demand for export increased. In 1866 the Island Herd Book was started, and in 1867 many new members were added, owing to the great demand for cattle in England and America. Waring, Dinsmore, Hoe, Sharpless (C. L.), and many others made valuable importations about this time, and many croakers predicted that the prices then paid were absurd and would never be reached again. Several animals were bought for America from the celebrated Dauucey herd in England, which were sold at remarkable prices in October, 1867. A short descrip- tion of the foundation of this famous herd certainly deserves men- tion in the history of the Jersey, as both Eurotas and Mary Anne of St. Lambert contain Dauncey blood. Mr. Philip Dauncey is justly called the father of Jersey breeders in England. He is described as a keen sportsman and loving a good NUMEKOUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 123 horse. In 1821 he lived at Swanbourne and kept a Suffolk cow which gave 21 quarts of milk. While ridhig about this part of the country- he one day saw a small lemon-fawn cow with a white muzzle which greatly attracted his fancy. This cow — a Jersey, as she proved to be — he afterwards bought of Mr. Fowler and called "Pug." She gave only 11 qts. of milk, yet made 10^ lbs. of butter a week, against 10:^ lbs. from his Suffolk cow, both of them having calved in August. His choice of a dairy cow was at once made, and a few years later, moving to Horwood, he laid the foundation of his herd, Avhich, owing to poor health, was sold in 1867. This sale attracted noblemen and gentle- men from all parts of the country, and the prices paid proved this herd to be one of the greatest achievements of a breeder's skill ever known in England. He bred for butter and kept about fifty cows, which yielded in butter alone a net profit of over $100 per cow. Care- ful tests often showed 14 lbs. of butter a week from one cow, and in one instance IG lbs. His best average yield was in June, 1867, when the entire herd of fifty cows gave an average of over 10^ lbs. He was an enthusiastic breeder and parted with few animals, although often tempted by high prices. Several animals went to Germany, one bull to Tasmania, and nine heifers and a bull to Australia, from which importations the foundation of a famous herd was laid in Melbourne. The breeding and the care which the Dauncey herd received evidently did much to increase their size and render them coarser than the Island type of the Jersey, yet their splendid constitutions and large frames attracted the attention of all breeders, and the potency of this blood has been very marked wherever it has been introduced. Mr. Dauncey had a great fancy for self-colored or solid-colored animals, and the wonderful result of his sale, I think, had much to do with the de- mand which sprang up in England and America about this time for solid colors, and which for several years sadly demoralized many of the Island breeders, as they sacrificed everything to color. Colonel Waring, in his letter of 1872, to the Jersey Eoyal Society, advocating the reopening of the Herd Book for Foundation Stock, advised that attention should be paid to dairy qualities rather than to color, and deprecated the practice of killing broken-colored bulls from good dairy cows, and saving self-colored ones from dams that were inferior milkers. The most important move in this country, owing to the rapid in- crease not only in numbers, but in the value of the Jersey cow, was the establishment of our Herd Register in 1869. Col. AVaring at this time did much to bring about the present condition of the Jersey, and to him belongs much credit for the results obtained. As the 124 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. first secretary of the Club, though he was ably assisted by Messrs. Hand, S. J. Sharpless, Beach and several others, he met with many difficulties, and had a great many tangled skeins in the shape of pedi- grees to unravel. To show that the Club was well conceived and suc- cessfully launched I will only refer to the twenty volumes of the Herd Eegister now published (containing 15,000 entries of bulls and 35,000 entries of females) and to the last report of the treasurer. Going back to the Island, we find that the next ten years have im- proved the form and shape of the cattle and developed a strong taste for self-colored animals, at a sacrifice, in many instances, of their dairy qualities. The Jersey Eoyal Society has called the attention of farmers to this point in several of their reports. A redeeming feature, however, during this period is the fact that the custom of driving cows to prize bulls became almost universal, and a marked im- provement in the shape of the udder was made. About this time Dr. Hubbell, one of the oldest Jersey breeders in America, after much thought and deliberation, selected for a butter bull St. Helier (45). His great success, although extending back compara- tively few years, is now fully established by the prices paid by intel- ligent breeders for this strain of blood. He has justly been called the Dauncey of America, and it is a great pity that, having been dis- couraged by the judging of cattle at our Exposition in 1876 at Phila- delphia, strictly on the scale of points adopted by our Club, he re- tired from active work and scattered his herd, really before it was fully developed in the qualities which he aimed at producing. Here at home the growth of the Jersey in public favor has been slow but sure, and during the years 1879 and 1880 it took a most decided start and brought many new and active breeders into the field. This in- terest was awakened somewhat by the return of business prosperity, and also, I think, by the tests of Eurotas and Jersey Belle of Scitu- ate, and the publishing of their wonderful records for a year. We have made during the past few years a great stride in bringing the Jersey into favor, and extravagant prices have been paid for single animals, in some instances perhaps foolishly ; but the distribu- tion of the Jersey into almost every State in the Union has given us a broad foundation, which must eventually prove to be a solid one ; for, owing to the easy acclimatization of this wonderful little Chan- nel Island cow, she is making her butter records in the East, West, North and South. Nearly all breeders have begun to realize the im- portance of the old adage that "like begets like or the likeness of some ancestor,'' and the demand for butter bulls is growing every day. The wonderful development of the trotting horse in America should. NUMEROLuS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. 125 perhaps, teach us a lesson, which is that the most successful breeders have been those who have not tied themselves up to any one family, such as the Messenger, Mambrino, Abdallah, and other Avell-known strains of blood, but have sought a combination of these famous fami- lies to obtain the phenomenal trotters. As a nation avc have the reputation of being in a great hurry to obtain wealtliand position, but let us remember, as breeders of cattle, that time, patience aiul unremitting attention are the most essential points to obtain success ; and history proves this, not only by the success of the Dauncey herd, but by that also of all the prominent English breeders of other stock, the two Collings, Bakewell, Bates and many others. We have produced, by feeding and carefully training the animals to digest and assimilate their food, many wonderful authentic records whicli are of great value, but it behooves the majority of breeders to improve the average yield of their entire herd rather than to seek to l)roduce one phenomenal cow. The future of the Jersey in this country is certainly most promis- ing, altliongh there is at present, and always will be, I trust, a slow sale for inferior animals. On the Island the encouragement which all breeders have had in disposing of good dairy animals at remunerative prices to American l)uyers has greatly increased their efforts and clearly pointed out tlie fact that to hold their market they must breed to butter bulls. They are also paying much attention to testing cows, and the new Farmers' Society, established two years ago, will, if it carries out its ideas, accomplish much, and in a few years greatly improve the butter (laality of the Island stock. Many American breeders do not realize how much more rapidly the results of breed- ing are shown on the Island than here at home. The causes are most apparent, for on less than 40,000 acres are 10,000 thorouglibreds, and a remarkable butter record is known within 48 hours from one end to the other of this wonderfully fertile Island, twelve miles long and seven miles wide. This naturally stimulates all thinking farmers to better work. We have done and are doing much to improve the breed, but there is a great field, and in the race some will be successful and others not. Our climate and generous feeding have changed many of the charac- teristics of the Island cattle, and have a great tendency to make more bone and coarsen the animal. These results are natural and some- thing over which lU) breeder has control, and in the near future I predict that our pure-breds will increase from 25 to 50 pbr cent, in 126 NUMEROUS FACTS ABOUT JERSEY CATTLE. weight. This is perhaps desirable, as our market is rapidly ex- tending into the West, where the general argument against the Jersey cow is her small size. To all Jersey breeders it must be most gratifying to follow up the reports of all our great fall cattle-shows and see that the entries for Jerseys are generally two to one of every other breed. In my own immediate neighborhood I have, although still a young man, seen a great change take place among the farmers. Thirty years ago my father first introduced Jerseys, and all the old farmers laughed at him and ridiculed his herd. To-day a grade Jersey is gen- erally considered the best cow and most persistent milker in the farmer's herd, and at public auction will bring from |5 to 110 more than any other cow. In conclusion, let me add that it behooves us to remember that actions speak louder than words, authentic butter records than talk, and that we must not claim for our breed too much. All pure- blooded cattle have a place to fill, and the Jersey has proved that hers is at the churn.
