There has long been breeding to form, to color, to "points," to sundry specific ideas, bat it is only since about the beginning of the carrent decade that breeding for productive profit has been made a well-defined purpose. The Chicago Columbian Exposition undertook to em- phasize this point,and tests there instituted ignored the fancy points of the several breeds, and asked for the cow which, being of an established heredity, would show the most valu- able product for the least expenditure. The largest money's worth for the lowest cost was the keynote of the contention, and the question was, which breed of cows would carry off the palm ? Without attempting to go into detail of these tests, it may be ot interest to quote the unquestioned conclusions of Mr. Fuller, the superintendent of the Jersey herd, confirmed by all the figures of the exactly kept record, which were these, as given in his report: Taking each separate ien and taking all of them in the aggregate, the results conclusively show that the Jerseys 1. Gave more milk. 2. Made more cheese. 3. Made more butter. 4. Gave more soliJs than other batter fat. 5. Required less milk to make a pound of cheese. 6.

Demonstrated their ability to profitably assimilate a greater quantity of feed and return a net increased profit. The tests prove these to be facts, and in proving them give the stamp of publicity and authenticity to the Jersey cow as the greatest dairy cow in all essentials that the world has ever produced. Science has decreed that only the most economically pro- ductive dairy cow can be of profit to the farmer. And such a cow has to be more than the sporadic ''phenomenon," the freak of t
