A JERSEY DEFENDER.
SECRETARY OF THE BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION. Some time ago the Australian and New Zealand correspondent of "Hoard's Dairyman," tho well-known Canadian dairying paper, stated that Jerseys were not so much in favour in New Zealand. Mr. J. O. Lane, secretary of the New Zealand Breeders' Association, has sinco written as follows to the paper in question:— "Your correspondent is very much astray. Never, in ihc short history of New Zealand, Ims there been such a' demand for Jerseys. 'flic prices for pedigree calves of tested parents, anything from a a. few weeks up, to two or three months old. havo been as high as 35 guineas, while yearlings to two years old bring 40 to 80 guineas. Further, since the inception of this association, a Herd Book has been published every year. We have now reached the eighth volume, which is in the printer's hands. The number of entries in the book total close on 1300 animals. "The Jersey is making a great name in New Zealand as the most, economical but-ter-fat machine."
