. Our domestic animals, their habits, intelligence and usefulness; tr. from the French of Gos. De Voogt, by Katharine P. Wormeley;. Domestic animals. CATTLE 2'5 Our magnificent breeds of Jersey and Guernsey cattle are the direct descendants of cattle imported from the Channel islands or of those bred in this country. The business of importing cattle of these and other breeds has been an important one in years past, and is not incon- siderable at the present time. The Guernsey is slightly larger than the Jersey and perhaps a little more robust. Both give very rich milk, but not so much as the Holstein-Friesian or the Ayr- sJiire, the imported cow from Scotland. This last-named breed is hardy and robust — ideal in this respect. In size she ranks between the Jersey and the Holstein. Being red or white, or a mixture of the two, the Ayrshire is not only at- tractive and popular because of her form and color but also because of her high merits as a pro- ducer of milk and cheese. Another foreign breed that has attracted the American farmer is the Broivn Siviss of Switzerland. These are mouse- colored, rugged animals ; some are good milk- ers, but many are indifferent when compared.
