IMPORTED JERSEY 
This beautiful cow, though now no longer 
young, shows iu her trim lines no marks of age. 
In fact, her picture, which is not in the least 
flattered, being as accurate a transcript of the 
photograph as our artist could make, might 
well be taken for that of a four-year-old. She 
was imported by Mr. Richardson, of New York, 
in 1SG1, and soon after selected by John A. Tain- 
tor, of Hartford, one of the best judges, and a 
very large importer of Jerseys, as the best cow 
of Mr. Richardson's importation. The same year 
she was sold to Mr. TV. TV. Billings, of New

COW FANCY. (9). — FROM A PnOTOfJRAPH. — Engraved for the American Agriculturist. 
London, Conn., by whom she was kept until 
1868, when she was sold to the " Ogden Farm," 
Newport, R. I. She is of nearly a solid fawn 
color, with slight markings of white. Her horns 
are very small, her face dished, her tail fine, and 
all her characteristic marks denote very high 
blood. Her hip is the longest and straightest 
we ever saw. She has given 16 quarts of milk 
a day when in full flow, and holds her milk 
well up to the time of calving. The cow and her 
progeny, are probably to-day worth $10,000. 
Her calves are very fine, and excellent butter- 
makers. Three hundred dollars ($300) has been 
refused for one of her heifer calves six weeks 
old. It is intended, as soon as possible, to work 
up the Ogden Farm herd with her blood. Very 
close in-and-in breeding is hazardous in com- 
mon practice, but has been productive of extra- 
ordinary results when pursued with judgment, 
and with animals of strong individuality and 
iron constitutions. May her sons and daugh- 
ters reflect her excellences, and make Col. Wait- 
ing's reputation as a draining engineer, pale 
before his fame as a breeder of "Fancy" Jerseys.
