Farms, Meredith, New York, where Sayda's Queen of Ventnor 

 168033, by Sayda's Heir 45360, made the great record of 13,280 

 pounds milk and 890 pounds butter at twelve years of age. She 

 has 4 daughters in the register of merit that average 11,604 

 pounds milk and 764 pounds butter. Sayda's Heir 3d 74817 (full 

 brother of Sayda's Queen of Ventnor) up to January, 19 19, sired 

 50 cows and 2 bulls recorded in the register of merit. The Say da 

 and Owl-Interest families are said to blend especially well. 



The Owl-Interest 

 family was established 

 by R.A.Sibley, Moose 

 Hill Farms, Spen- 

 cer, Massachusetts, by 

 crossing the bull 

 Spermfield Owl 57088 

 on daughters of Inter- 

 ested Prince 58224 

 (imp.), and vice versa. 

 These two sires were 

 purchased in 1900 and 

 used in service for 

 many years at Moose 

 Hill Farms. Remark- 

 able records have been 

 produced by members 

 of this family. InigiS 

 Mr. Sibley published a 

 list of 31 Owl-Interest cows in his herd, with official milk records 

 ranging from 9853 to 17,056 pounds and butter fat records from 

 595 to 993 pounds. This family is meeting with much favor. 



Jersey bulls of distinction as sires may be divided into three 

 groups : (i) notable early foundation animals, (2) sires of private- 

 test offspring, and (3) sires of register-of-merit progeny, this 

 latter group being of real significance at this time. 



Important foundation sires include Albert 44, Brown Prince 

 F. 85, Clement F. 61, Colonel "jQ, Jupiter 93, Khedive, P. 103, 

 Landseer 331, Marius 760, Mercury 432, Noble 592 E, Pilot 3, 

 Pope 652 E, Rioter 746 E, Rioter 2d 469 E, Splendens 16,
