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.
