CHAPTER XXXIV THE JERSEY The native home of the Jersey is on the island of that name in the English Channel, about fourteen miles from the coast of France. This is one of the group known as the Channel Islands ; they belong to Great Britain, and comprise mainly Jersey, the largest, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark. Jersey is about eleven miles long and six wide and contains 39, 580 acres. The north shore of the island is precipitous, the land gently sloping south- ward. The principal crops are potatoes and other vegetables, fruits and flowers, Jersey cattle and their products. The cli- mate is most balmy, out-of- door life being pleasant all the year. So healthful are the conditions that tuber- culosis among the cattle is almost unknown. The soil is very rich and most productive. The island has a population of about 60, 000. There are twelve parishes, and the farms are small, ranging from five to twenty acres each. Notwithstanding its small size there are about 12, 000 cattle kept on Jersey, accord- ing to late reports, and the herds are well maintained. The origin of the Jersey is unknown. The most probable the- ory is that it is descended from stock on the neighboring section of France, notably Brittany and Normandy. While the cattle 249. Fig. 105. Pedro 3187 at 18 years of age.
