The 1913 edition of " Meridale 
| Jerseys,” just out, contains 
much practical and valuable 
information of particular in¬ 
terest to dairymen and Jersey 
breeders everywhere. 
Meridale Jerseys are a development. The 
booklet explains briefly and illustrates some of the 
policies which have governed their development. 
It also tells how we have solved some perplexing 
problems in herd building. Its statements are 
backed by facts based on accurate yearly records. 
It also describes a number of well-bred, well¬ 
born and well-grown young bulls. The proof of 
their dairy quality is evidenced by the authenti¬ 
cated records of their dams and in many cases of 
their grandams as well. Their sires arc notable 
for their quality among the best known Jersey 
bulls of either Island or American breeding. 
A copy will be sent you on request.

They Keep It Up 
There are some cattle that glvo 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.

A START WITH JERSEY CATTLE. 
Among several breeders of Jersey 
cattle in this section one of the most 
successful men and one of the best 
herds is that of J. M. Landis, whose 
herd numbers 21 milch cows and about 
a dozen promising young heifers from 
three months to a year old. About 
10 years ago Air. Landis bought a couple 
of purebred cows and a registered hull, 
not perhaps as wisely as he would do 
now, hut as he thought was for his best 
interests, and as he then thought he 
could afford, and the start then made 
has been a great stimulus to the dairy 
industry of this great dairy section of 
Michigan. The favorite boast of any 
who are fortunate enough to o\ n one 
is that he has a’cow or calf from Mr. 
Landis’s herd, and as he says it he will 
‘throw out his chest and look over the 
heads of the rest of us poor fellows.! 
Several of the herds around here are ! 
tilings to be proud of and have all come 
from a small beginning. They are pay¬ 
ing their owners well for time and 
investment, hut the herd mentioned 
above is in mv judgment the best, taken 
as individuals. A number of the indi- 1 
viduals of the herd have private records | 
of from 12 to 18 pounds of butter in 
seven days oir ordinary care, or what 
Mr. Landis calls common, although he 
is a much better feeder than the com¬ 
mon run of dairymen. 
Mr. Landis, after about live or six 
years going it alone, joined with a 
couple of others and bought a higher 
priced bull, and as they thought a much 
better bred hull from a dairy standpoint, 
and a few years later became with those I 
others charter members of the Litchfield 
Jersey Cattle Club, consisting of 10 of 
the most progressive men who now 
own three of the best bulls in Michi¬ 
gan of this breed. Mr. Landis, starting 
with two cows and a bull that cost less 
than $150. now has a herd that he would 
have no trouble in selling for $3,000 if 
he decided to put them on the market.

A CO-OPERATIVE SILO COMPANY. 
Cooperative creameries, elevators, 
country stores and even cooperative 
laundries are common, hut what is be¬ 
lieved to be the first cooperative silo 
ever constructed, has just been dis¬ 
covered. This silo is found in Milton- 
vale, Kansas, a little village on the 
plains. Six residents of this little town, 
four of whom are teachers in the local 
Wesleyan College, are owners of family 
cows. They had found in the last two 
years that on account of the high price 
of feed, keeping cows had become a 
luxury which could no longer well be 
afforded by college professors. They 
still wanted fresh milk every day and 
plenty of it, but what could he done 
to lessen expenses and make it obtain¬ 
able? 
In the neighborhood silos had been 
built the previous year and had been in 
use a short time. That they were great 
economizers of feed was now generally 
known and that milk flowed most freely 
from silage fed cows was soon dis¬ 
covered. Here apparently was a solu¬ 
tion ; why not build a silo, a silo coop¬ 
eratively owned? No sooner said than 
done. With much enthusiasm the six 
immediately organized the College Hill 
Silo Company and a silo 12x26 feet was 
constructed. (See page 594.) A few 
acres of corn on nearby land was pur¬ 
chased and the silo filled. Six cows 
and three horses have since had "canned 
corn, country style” from this silo, and 
the owners believe they have solved the 
feeding problem. More milk at less ex¬ 
pense than heretofore has been the re¬ 
sult of this enterprise and the cooper¬ 
ators have learned a useful lesson both 
in feeding and in cooperation. This 
year they expect not only to continue 
using the silo, but to extend their co¬ 
operative activities to the production of 
all the corn they need both for feed 
and silage purposes, edw. c. johnson.

no better example of value of a 
animal in a herd than can he 
wherever a well-bred registered 
Friesian hull is used on ordinary dairy 
cows. All one has to do to be convinced 
of the value of such an animal is to visit 
such a herd and note the animals and their 
milk records. In my own herd I have a 
three-year-old heifer, product of second 
cross of registered Holstein male, that gave
