When has an opportunity to breed a man his cows to a bull of known dairy qualities, we cannot understand why he should be so short-sighted to breed to a grade if he has any desire to improve his herd and se cure cows that will pay the greatest profit for the feed consumed. The Jersey has been bred for many generations to produce the largest quantity of butter fat at the least cost. That they can do this is proven by their winnings, against as Tf f £ L *4 . * i f Iv>' jM » 1 If wm-fj Üüa& P % »- -a • & r~ : : fy- ' • - Joê& -A ■■ y » ■ r v •* A. s.

Then why not breed Registered Jer seys, and if you cannot afford to start with all thoroughbred stock, work gradually toward this point by breeding all your cows to a regis tered Jersey bull.

If you are at all interested in Jer seys or desire to improve your herd write them about your conditions, say what you would like to do and Dairying for Twin Falls. There are indications that grad ually the dairy industry will be de veloped on the Twin Falls tract to very large proportions, as recom mended by practically all the econ omists of the agricultural world. Having all the natural resources for it, the production of milk for creameries here is advocated as a very profitable avocation by innum erable experienced observers of the agricultural conditions in regions that are less blessed in these re spects. One great handicap in the estab lishment of dairies has been, and is yet, the lack of proper classes of cattle, because it has been well rec ognized by everybody that it does not pay to feed any animals in the dairy that are not ample producers of butter fat. Now come however, J. W. Gibbs & Sons of Laga, Idaho, a firm that has made a business in that part of the state of producing superior dairy cattle, and has just completed the purchase of 160 acres of land, six and one-half miles southeast of Buhl, at $85 an acre, and on which there' are to be placed immediately sixty head of Holsteins intended for milk production and from which j the butter fat is to be sold to the creameries and the skimmed milk fed to calves. These in turn are to be sold to the farmers desiring basis for dairy herds and to engage in similar busi ness.
