l^jippH : — The English-bred cow "SultaTia 24tli" is a very good illustration 

 of what we recognise as the vigorous or English-bred type of .Jersey —an 

 animal that is considerably sti'ongei- and more robust-looking than her island- 

 bred sister. It is this robust typie that we so much need in Australia, 

 because we recjuii'e the animals for use only. Their beauty is a very second- 

 ary consideration to the dairy farmer. With him "Haiulsome is as haud-

 butter fat has no beauty in his eyes, even though her head may l)e lu^autiful 

 and her frame deerlike and hand.some. 



The American cow illustrated is also the strongly constituted type — though 

 carrying very little flesh at the time this photograph was taken. If judges 

 of .Jerseys at New South Wales Shows can be induced to place the dairy 

 type as the first consideration — ^provided, of course, the animals ai'e pure bred, 

 — we shall have, in time, produced an animal fulfilling all the i('i|uirements 

 of the modern dairy farmer.
