3b THE JERSEY 



eighty-five per cent Eighty per cent fat is the legal standard 

 of butter in the states of California, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, 

 New Hampshire, Ohio, South Dakota and Utah. For the pur- 

 poses of comparison with claims made on behalf of cows of other 

 breeds, a list of the Jersey pacemakers is appended hereto with 

 yields computed on the basis of eighty per cent fat in the butter."

It should be observed that although the quantity of milk 

 yielded is far less than is shown in an earlier chapter for Hol- 

 steins, the quantity of butter fat far more nearly approaches the 

 production of the other breed. Neither is the total quantity 

 produced the criterion, since the cost of production is quite as 

 important as the yield. The Jersey may be said to be the con- 

 verse of the Holstein in the matter of milk production. The 

 Jersey produces a comparatively small quantity of the richest 

 milk, while the Holstein produces the largest amount of com- 

 paratively " lean " milk.

 for the perfecting of the breed was adopted in 1915 and follows :
