Jersey Cow 
T HIS cow is of a very famous sort. 
She is called a “Jersey” cow because 
that kind was bred in the island of 
Jersey, off the coast of England. The milk 
that these cows give in large amounts, is 
very rich, so that the cream and butter 
made from it are of a clear yellow color. 
Like the Durham cow, she has short horns, 
but her body and limbs are more slender 
than those of a Durham. Her hair is short and glossy, and of a reddish 
or fawn color mixed with white; but sometimes it is black or cream color. 
The Sable An-te-lope 
T HIS graceful creature is a pretty red-brown 
color, with white markings on face, neck, 
and breast, and with the under parts white. 
The buck is as black as jet, but with the same white 
markings. His horns are long, and sweep back in 
a bold curve. The skins of these animals are far 
more handsome than those of any deer. The sable 
an-te-lopes range in open forests and grassy, well- 
watered plains, in herds of from ten to twenty. They 
are timid and very fleet, but even so, the kind is 
fast disappearing, because they have been hunted so 
much for their skins. The buck has a slight mane, 
and his tail is tufted. 
The White-belted Cow 
I T is very clear where this cow got her name, but it is not so clear 
where she got her white belt. It must have been from some Holstein 
ancestor, for those cows are usually black and white. Those cattle 
are a remarkable kind, found in Holland 
and in the countries along the shore of the 
North Sea. They are strong and sturdy 
and give very large quantities of milk. See 
the short horns. They are turned inward 
and also downward. She looks as if it were 
near sunset and she were traveling toward 
home for the milking. She has white bands 
also on her two hind feet and her tail.
