TiiK Champion. —As often happens 
the man of the ranch was afraid to stand 
up against popular opinion. Not so his 
wife. She had prepared a little lunch for 
the visitors and lunv she came to the door 
and stood bareheaded in the sunshine 
with her woman's argument. 
“You are wrong! Y''ou can only see 
one side-—the strong, brutal, overbearing 
argument of force. Y'ou are narrow be¬ 
cause .vou think a cow can do nothing but 
produce beef. Y'ou are of the type who 
would limit humanity to the meaner 
bodily drudgery of life. Y"ou would make 
woman a drudge or a plaything and not 
a finer, higher part of your life. Can 
you not see that my .Jerseys represent 
love and quality to me? Could your beef 
cattle be companions to me in this lonely 
place? I tell you that as the years go on 
the .Ter.sey cow, which you laugh at to¬ 
day. will enter the life of this cattle 
country and bring something of the 
kindlier and higher spirit which you 
need. Come and .see.” 
She stood aside and motioned them in. 
There on the table was a great ball of 
golden buttei’, bowls of rich milk, cool 
from the spring, bread such as can only 
be made from Colorado wheat, and moun¬ 
tain strawberries with thick, yellow 
cream. These men with cows all about 
them had been living on ham fat in place 
of butter! 
You met strange people in the cow 
country in those old days. One young 
man looked at that golden cream, then at 
the woman. He walked out on the porch, 
took off his hat. and made a low bow to a 
.Jersey heifer which had come close to 
the fence. Ilis companion pointed a fin¬ 
ger at him and quoted a line from 
Punch’s famous tribute to Jancoln : 
“Yoh lay a wreath on murdered J.incoln's 
bier? . 
Say. scurrile jester, is there room fo:- 
you ?” 
,\nd the first man repliol : i th- sar.r' 
spirit: 
“Yes—he had lived to shame me for m.” 
sneer, 
'I'o lame my pencil and confute my pen !“ 
And how they did punish that milk and 
cream ! It may not have been a full bal¬ 
anced ration, but the Waldorf-Astoria 
could not excel it for effectiveness. The 
.Jersey heifer stopped eating to listen and 
then walked off to stand beside an old 
cow as if to tell her a few of the com¬ 
pliments. I will guarantee that within a 
year on each one of the big beef ranches 
represented at that banquet there was a 
Jersey tucked away in some comfortable 
place as purveyor of milk and cream for 
the family! 
Coming Back. —The speeches at this 
banquet were all in a confident, hojieful 
vein. I wish that Colorado woman and 
another fi-om Nebraska w'hose children 
were educated by .Jerseys, could have 
been there to tell their story. I should 
judge that many women are breeding 
.Jersey cattle \A’ith much the same spirit 
as my old Colorado friend. I think they 
have the i-ight idea. The .Jersey is not 
one of those wonderful creatures that can 
give a can of milk, then step into a tread 
power and churn it into 10 pounds of 
l)utter, then get out and plow the balance 
of the day and at death leave behind her 
a great carcass of choice beef. She is a 
skilled woi'kman—not a jack of all trades 
—fitting into her place and granting all 
others a right to any niche they can carve 
in the hall of fame. I told one breeder 
that it seemed to me the Jersey was 
“coming back.” The way he looked at 
me made me think of one of Irvin Cobb’s 
stories. Old .Judge Priest, in the Ken¬ 
tucky town, Avas quite a politician and at 
one memorable political convention he pre¬ 
tended to be very humble and worried. 
Some young fellows Avho did not know 
him thought “the old .Judge had got to be 
a back number.” Just at the right time 
Judge Priest woke up, turned the tables 
and AA'on out. “.Judge Priest has come 
back,” said his youthful critic! “Son,” 
said one of the old-timers, “the old .Judge 
ain't ncA'er gone off noAvhere!” The .Jer¬ 
sey coAV is .still on deck. She may not 
suit your neeils—but she is on de<-k I

Farm Seeds to the Pound 
Several readers have asked us to toll 
how many seeds there are in a pound of 
clover or vetch. We cannot quite see 
the practical value of such information 
but here are figures for some of these 
crops. We have not found a statement 
about turnip seed yet: 
riant. Reeds per pound. 
lu-d Clover . 250,000 
(I-'roin 297,000 in German seed 
to 297,000 in American). 
Alsike Clover . 700,000 to 718,00f) 
White Clover . 7.22,000 to 800,000 
Sweet Clover . 235,000 
Crimson Clover . 120,000 
Common vetch . 8,000

New Super-Six Speedster 
Latest, fastest Hudson model. A smart car 
withnewlines. Seats four. $1750 at Detroit 
The newest Hudson Super-Six model is a four-passenger Speedster. 
It is the smartest Speedster you have ever seen. In the grace of its lines, 
the dashing beauty of its finish and its wonderful performance it expresses 
the “spirit of youth.” 
The allotment of these cars to dealers is not large. Even before our dealers 
were told anything of its details, even without advertising or announcement 
of any kind, customers placed orders to assure early delivery. 
To get an idea of the probable demand for such a car dealers asked some 
of our Super-Six owners about it. The result is shown in the orders they gave. 
No description of the Speedster, not even an idea of what it would look like, 
nor even assurance definite delivery dates. Still the orders continued to increase, 
and a repetition of last year’s condition when buyers grew disappointed at not 
getting delivery of their Super-Six when wanted, caused many dealers to stop 
accepting orders. 
And why shouldn’t there be such a demand for a Hudson Super-Six Speed¬ 
ster? Everyone knows of the official record of a stock Super-Six chassis in trav¬ 
eling a measured mile at the rate of 1023^ miles an hour. And all motorists 
are familiar with other wonderful performances of the Hudson Super-Six. The 
Super-Six has proved it has just the qualities you would require in a Speedster. 
There could be no concern about the beauty or grace or finish of the body. 
The artists responsible for such lines as are revealed in the Super-Six Phaeton, 
the grace of the Hudson Super-Six Limousine, and the daintiness of the Town 
Car, could be relied upon to design the smartest Speedster. 
Such a car awaits you. You must acknowledge its low sweeping lines, 
its rich Cobalt Blue body with English Vermilion wheels, the smartest Speedster 
you have ever seen. 
Don’t forget that the allotment is small, that the factory is not building 
many cars of its type, and that only a few cars are available to any one dealer. 
Some will probably not be able to get any at all.
