Reduction of your milk order because of an increase in price is poor economy, as, in that case, the strength-giving elements in your diet must be made up for by more expensive food.

The food constituents, fat and casein, in milk from the different breeds of cows vary greatly, as shown by the tests of innumerable samples. The following table has been compiled by Prof. Larsen: Per Cent. Per Cent. Per Cent. Breed of Cattle Fat Casein Total SoMs Holstein...... 3.26 2.20 11-80 Ayrshire 3.76 2.46 12.75 Shorthorn 4.28 2.79 Devon - • 4.89 3.10 14.50 Guernsey. 5-38 2.91 is’in Jersey 5.78 3.03 15-40 The popular idea is that milk is milk; but the food value of milk containing 11.80 per cent, solids and milk containing 15.40 per cent. solids is at once apparent. Jersey milk is the most nourishing kind of milk. K contains the greatest amount of milk solids, of muscle-building and vigor-giving food properties. It has a rich and agreeable flavor. It contains * per cent, more cream than low-testing milk, and is far more desirable for table use. You can remove.enough cream from a quart of Jersey milk for your breakfast cereal or coffee, and still have milk that is above the average in food value.. ~ We are engaged in a small way of breeding Pure-Bred Jersey Cattle. We now have two-year-old heifers that test 5-60 per cent, butter fat and Cows that test 6.25 per cent, with average daily nulk weight of 40 pounds, . ■ - Our herd bull is a Golden Fem product ami will be allowed a limited public stand for Jersey cows only at $5.00 for grades, sls for- registered catitJe. ... ...
