A Tempest In A Milk Pail16

Ever since there were two rxreds o

cattle in me same country doubtles dIhere have oeen breed fights, and proba.jly notnlng better ever happened to on Ibreed than the arrival of a competitor.*The Jersey breeder says that his testfor Holstein milk is >to put a dollar inthe bottom of the pall. If, when the pail

is full, he can still ece the dollar he issure mat tne milk came from a Holsteincow The Holstein breeder, of course,does not sell h.s herd, but he gives whathe calls an Infallible test for Jerseymilk. He puls the dollar In the pail

and milks tne cow. If the dollar Is notquite covered sne certainly must be aJersey. inese little exaggerations arebanned round among dairymen wherewerthey meet and are usually taken good-
