AN ARISTOCRATIC COW. 
The illustration on first page. Fig. 124, 
shows the six-year-old Jersey cow 
Briarcliff Dolly, one of the herd of Ged- 
ney Farm, White Plains, N. Y. Her sire 
was Jersey Beau 44417 and dam Daunt¬ 
less Dolly 114437. But she has some¬ 
thing more than pedigree to her credit, 
as she has given in one year 10,307 
pounds of 5.3 per cent milk. Another 
particularly fine animal on this farm is 
the three-year-old bull Golden Streamer 
65000. He comes from a noted family 
on the Island, and is considered one of 
the best young bulls ever imported. The 
poultry department is an important fea¬ 
ture at Gedney Farm. White Wyan¬ 
dotte and Black Minorca are the breeds 
handled. The best blood obtainable 
was used as the foundation stock, and 
steady improvement is being made with 
the idea of getting fowls of excellence 
for market and egg production, as well 
as attractive for exhibition purposes. 
The houses and yards are very favor¬ 
ably located. Extensive building plans 
are under way, which will be a decided 
improvement to the dairy and other 
farm operations. 
AN EXPERIENCE WITH SHEEP. 
I give my experience with sheep, not 
as a breeder of fancy stock, but as a 
common farmer hoping that it may be 
of some benefit to some of my brother 
agriculturists. About seven years ago 
my brother-in-law and myself purchased 
a farm and stock, and among the stock 
were a few good grade Lincoln ewes. 
Wishing to improve our stock, after due 
consideration we decided to use the 
Shropshire as a cross, and so we pur¬ 
chased a good purebred male of that 
breed, and have kept one in our flock 
ever since; not an expensive show ani¬ 
mal, but a good one, square at both 
ends, head erect and plenty of wool on 
face. I cannot brag of any fancy prices, 
as we do not care to have our sheep 
breed before March or April on account 
of cold weather, and not very good ac¬ 
commodations for early lambs, but 
when we sell, which is generally in Au¬ 
gust or September, we discount all of 
our neighbors on price, and buyers come 
over 15 miles after them. Our lambs are 
much more hardy than when we started 
in, always on their feet, looking for 
something to eat as soon as dropped. 
The fleeces at shearing will average a 
pound heavier, and our record of lambs 
for this year up to this writing is 18 
lambs from eight sheep. I cannot say 
how the flock will average for the sea¬ 
son, but they have started in pretty 
well. I know of no better way to build 
up a flock than stated above, nor of any 
better breed to cross to than the Shrop- 
shires, as they are the acme of strength 
and hardiness. n. k. shaver. 
Oswego Co., N. Y. 
that it sours at once if not boiled and 
salted. Fodder corn can be grown the 
year round. I want to keep the cows 
under a shed during the day, cut the 
corn fodder in a cutter and feed with 
cornmeal and cotton-seed meal, aerate 
the milk, bottle it, and sell it under a 
guarantee of absolute purity. I want 
perfect cleanliness everywhere, and 
know I cannot get it unless the right 
man is in charge, and is pecuniarily in¬ 
terested in the business. I can produce 
the feed and see that the milk is sold 
but I want some one to produce the 
milk. I want him to invest enough 
money to buy 10 or 20 cows and put up 
the necessary shed, buy milk bottles 
necessary tools. Cows from Alabi 
and other Southern States can 
bought for $40 to $50, and with a g 
purebred bull we can in a few years t 
a wellbred herd of milkers. 
An event of interest to cattle men wil

A DAIRY SCHEME FOR CUBA. 
We print the following letter from one 
of our readers in Cuba. There are oppor¬ 
tunities for men who will produce “certi¬ 
fied” milk almost everywhere. This plan 
seems sensible enough for one who for any 
reason wants to go away from home. We 
had supposed that mature cows taken to 
the island would suffer as northern cattle 
do when carried to the Gulf States. 
I have a farm of 25 acres on the out¬ 
skirts of Havana, which city has 250,000 
inhabitants, no “aerated” or “certified” 
milk is sold or known here, yet the peo¬ 
ple are willing to pay any price for pure 
milk for their children. Milk retails at 
20 cents a bottle, the bottle holding 
about a quart. Any old whisky or oth¬ 
er kind of bottle is used, and ordinarily 
the milk is brought to town in rusty 
and I am sure dirty old milk cans with 
corn-husk stoppers. It is not strange
