Types of Jersey Cows 
I wish to know the difference between 
Merit and Bono Jersey cows? Which is 
the better milker and type; larger and 
smaller type? Which is best on the mar¬ 
ket? A. B. 
The term Registry of Merit is applied 
to purebred Jersey cows which qualify in 
the production of milk or butterfat ac¬ 
cording to the standards of production 
fixed by the American Jersey Cattle Club 
for entrance into the so-called Advanced 
Registry classification. The amount of 
milk or butterfat varies with the age of 
the animals, and the requirement for ad¬ 
mission to such Registry of Merit can be 
obtained by communicating with the 
American Jersey Cattle Club 
The term Bono Jersey is a new one to 
me. I do not know to what type, class 
or family it refers. However, we recog¬ 
nize in this country two general types 
of Jerseys; one is known as the Island 
type and the other is commonly identified 
as the American type. Then also we 
have the St. Lambert type, the latter 
classification being based upon represen¬ 
tatives tracing to a certain lineage noted 
for their size and milking characteristics. 
The Island type identifies a group of 
animals smaller in .size and, in many 
cases, represents animals which have 
been selected for their beauty rather than 
for their ability to produce milk and 
butterfat in unusual quantity. Of course 
it referred originally to animals which 
were imported from the Island of Jersey. 
Ordinarily such animals are smaller in 
size than those commonly produced in 
this country. 
The American type usually refers to 
animals reared in this country. The term 
represents a type of animal somewhat 
larger than the imported or Island type. 
The value of Jersey cows, however, can¬ 
not be based upon their size or the par¬ 
ticular type which they may represent. 
Rather, their value will depend upon 
their inherited ability to convert food 
into milk profitably and in sufficient 
quantity to justify their maintenance in 
a breeding herd. The most successful 
dairymen in this country pay a great deal 
of attention to size and constitutional 
vigor, and naturally demand a develop¬ 
ment of the mammary or milk system 
evidencing the ability of the cows to con¬ 
vert feed and roughages into milk at a 
profit. 
There is an honest difference of opinion 
among dairymen and breeders as to 
which particular type of Jersey is the 
most profitable to develop and sell in 
this country. One of the large importers 
of Jerseys who holds a sale annually ad¬ 
heres rather tenaciously to the Island 
type, and has been successful in inducing 
buyers willing to pay high prices for the 
animals which he selects. A number of 
men have engaged in the importation of 
Jerseys thus taking advantage of the 
preference for the Island type in this 
country. 
In Western territory, notable in Ore¬ 
gon, the Saint Lambert or larger Ameri¬ 
can type of Jerseys seems to be in great¬ 
est popularity. It is impossible to rate 
values with Jerseys, or any other breed 
of cattle, by taking breeds alone into 
consideration. It is only one of the pos¬ 
sessions that go to build up an individual¬ 
ity in dairy animals which qualifies them 
for the work that they have to perform. 
this sort were first placed upon the mar¬ 
ket a number of years ago there was a 
great variation in the moisture and pro¬ 
tein content, and in their general feeding 
qualities. To meet this condition the 
brewers’ and distillers’ grains were dried, 
blended, and brought up or down to a 
standard analysis. Hence we find the 
terms dry brewers’ grains and dry distill¬ 
ers’ grains applying to feeding stuffs of 
this country. 
The wet brewers’ grains are not as well 
suited for use in feeding horses as they 
are for dairy cows. Horses do not relish 
sloppy feeds of this character. Dry 
brewers’ grains, or rather the dry dis¬ 
tillers’ grains can properly replace 50 
per cent of the oats intended for work 
horses but to attempt to use the wet 
grains for feeding horses would involve 
complications. A better ration for 
horses would result from mixing five 
parts of ground oats, three parts of 
wheat bran, and two parts of cracked 
corn. 
Dairy cows may be fed generously of 
the fresh wet brewers’ grains and as 
much as 50 or 60 lbs. per day of the wet 
grains may be fed per cow. The wet 
grains, however, should be supplemented 
with cornmeal and gluten meal, mixed in 
the proportion of six parts of corn and 
four parts of the gluten meal. The wet 
brewers’ grains 'may properly replace 
silage and beet pulp which provide suc¬ 
culence of this character and, when sup¬ 
plemented with cornmeal and gluten 
meal, will provide a mixture of satisfac¬ 
tory balance. Make the best use of this 
by-product and if it is possible for you 
to get the fresh grains regularly it would 
be to your advantage to construct an 
appropriate pit wherein the wet brew¬ 
ers’ grains could be assembled, packed, 
and conserved for future feeding pur¬ 
poses. f. c. M.

Brewers’ Grains for Cows 
Would you advise tbe use of fresh 
brewers’ grains, as food for cows? If 
not, why not? If they cannot be given 
in their fresh condition, but can when 
dried, will you advise me w'hat the prop¬ 
er proportion would be in comparison 
with the other food which, in your opin¬ 
ion, would make a proper daily ration. 
Would you also advise brewers’ grains 
as a daily ration in conjunction with 
other food for horses? a. c. f. 
If you are in a position to secure 
fresh brewers’ grains you are fortunate, 
for this material will provide an excel¬ 
lent base for compounding a ration for 
milk cows. Dairymen have long appre¬ 
ciated the feeding value of wet brewers’ 
grains and, when combined with corn- 
meal and a good grade of hay, they will 
make a good ration. When products of

Waterproofing Tents 
The method I have found most satis¬ 
factory is to melt one to one-half pound 
of paraffin wax in a saucepan, and pour 
this while hot into the one gallon of 
gasoline. The gasoline, of course, must 
be cold and kept away from the fire. This 
will mix at once in the gasoline and stay 
mixed. Do not attempt to warm the 
gasoline, or there may he serious results. 
Paraffin does not settle out of the gaso¬ 
line as might be expected. The mixture 
can be painted on tent or other cloth, and 
as soon as gasoline evaporates, the par¬ 
affin will remain thoroughly incorporated 
in the tent material. b. g. pratt.
