JERSEY QUALITY.

"It's an ill wind that blows nobody I any good." Much as it may be regretted that Mr. Charley Clarke's fine herd of Jersey 3 is (excepting a few yorag animals) to be dispersed,, there are many prominent breeders who are looking forward with no small amount of pleasure to the prospect of securing one or more of Mr. Clarke's aristocrats. A genuine, unrestricted sale of such high-class stock, such as the one to be held' on the 9th inst., does more good to the jersey breed than can be at first realised. The stock is not only distributed amongst the various breeders, thus raising the standard of their herds, b ! ut at each sale some'one or more converts make their first 1 purchase of a purebredfjjersey cow-of quality, whick invariably surprises its lucky new owner by not only the quality and quantity of i*s milk, but also by the persistence with which it keeps up the flow throughout the season regardless almost of the weather conditions. The fact that Mr. Cifarke has generally secured the highest! test at'the Bell Block Factory is proof of what his herd can do in that respect,; and as they milk about 40 lb. daily;-at,-the flush, we at once realise that ,they are dairy .c0w?...0f the first or4eV. t This excellence has only been -attained "by constantly purchasing the . animals available-.(as, for instance, Carnpatiile's Sultan, Lady Disdain, Leafletißspsin* and a. host, of, others), and to'majke'irioorn fqr-bis new purchases Jh§ has sold animals less desirable. At "fir4t'the culling was easy, but latterly it'has been hard to 'decide''-which to pa|t with; in fact, the-tail has gone Wednesday (by Mr. Ndwtorl Kingk are ( tht finest cßile'ctibn ttiaf have^efr'fac'ed ' 'anU-uctidA ring mfaW&iMm'n'mk 1 Animals are all in fine' trim,»aaid^wp«aßl.scipate more spiritjedj&tyiWing an * !-k*ener competition than ever before.
