They Keep It Up 



There are some cattle that give more milk 

 when they are fresh than a Jersey, but there 

 isn't any breed that gives as rich milk as 



The Jersey 



at as small feeding cost, nor is there any breed of 

 cattle that will keep it up like Jerseys will, year in and 

 year out. That's why you ought to buy Jerseys to 

 increase your herd's efficiency. Send for Jersey facts.
