I also offer for exhibition and premium the following named 

 animals : 

 One full blood Durham cow, " Stella," ten years old. 



" " heifer, "Alice 4th," three years old. 



" " heifer calf, ''Alice Sth," five months and 



twenty days old. 



The pedigree of the cow " Stella," as recorded in the American 

 Herd Book, is as follows : • 



''Stella. White. Bred by Col. R. H. Green, Winslow, Maine. 

 Calved August 21st, 1847. Got by Cosmo (1398). Dam Clota, 

 by Young Comet (2418). 



gr. dam Spot, by Young Fitz Favorite (2428). 



gr. g. d. Kate, by Banquo (1126). 



gr. gr. g. d. Judy alias Betty, imported by Henry De Groot, 

 New York." 



* I purchased her of Messrs. Wardsworth of East Livermore, in 

 December last. She was wintered on hay, without provender of any 

 kind. Dropped her calf (exhibited here to-day) on the 2d day of 

 May. Her feed during the season has been grass only. She gave 

 during June and July, sixteen quarts of milk a day, on very ordi- 

 nary pasture — though the best I could afford her, being rather over- 

 stocked. She is now giving about fourteen quarts a day. Her 

 milk is of excellent quality for butter, requiring very little churn- 

 ing to convert it into butter. I have several times churned the 

 cream from her milk, completely separating the butter from the 

 buttermilk, in three minutes^ in a common dash churn. She made 

 nine and one-eighth pounds of butter in seven days from the 18th 

 of June, being the only time her milk was set separately during the 

 season. Her girth is just six feet. 



I give the pedigree of the three years old heifer, also taken from 

 the American Heid Book : 



"■Alice ^th. Roan. Bred by William Cushraan, New Brain- 

 tree, M;is3 Calved April 8th, 1854. Got by Murat (729). Dam 

 Alice 3d, by Logan (95). 



gr. dam Alice 2d, by Prince Albert (847|). 



g gr. d. Alice, by Splendid (5297). 



g. g. gr. d. Danae, by Carlos (1787).
