breeders of pure stock of the highest type. In fact, few animals of a 

 breed attain perfection closely, and almost none absolutely, according to 

 the standard. As a milking cow, a Jersey or cow of other milking breed 

 might be of the best possible standard and yet fail essentially in some 

 other important points. Such a cow would be just as valuable for the

This is a very fine breed of longhorn cattle. Their color is generally black, with occaBionally a few 

 white hairs in the coat. The docility of the breed is remarkable. When no bull is present, a stranger 

 may go with perfect safety into the midst of any herd. The cows are very profitable as milkers and 

 butter-makers, yielding a net profit of $120 to $180 vet cow annually. 



So in any other particular' the person, whether he be a breeder or simply 

 a fancier, must study the characteristics and the points of an animal, and 

 then make up his mind whether in the one case it is worth the money 

 asked for it, or in the other case whether it would be more profitable to 

 sell rather than to keep.
