Live Stock. 



Charles Crockett presented a cow five years old, for premium. 

 She is Grade Durham. Pie prefers the Durham on account of 

 their large size when kept well. This cow was raised by him- 

 self and never sucked her dam. He fed her on sour milk with 

 some Indian meal. In the winter, gave her carrots, with hay. 

 She is both a good breeder and a good milker. lie thinks she 

 will average about sixteen quarts of milk per day for the last 

 year. Was dry only two weeks in that time. Averages about 

 twenty-four quarts per day in June and July. In the winter he 

 feeds her on hay, carrots and slops from the house. 



Peter Fuller obtained premium for best family horse. Breed 

 not known. His age nine years, bred in Kennebec county. He 

 is a family horse, very kind, easily managed, easily kept, and 

 perfectly safe. He prefers chopped feed and roots as feed for 

 horses. 



Dairy Pkoducts. 

 Thomas Simmons, Waldol)orough, has a dairy of four cows. 

 He " prefers a cross between the Ayrshire and Native as the 

 best stock for cows ;♦ keeps them ou hay till within fifteen or 

 twenty days of their calving, when he gives them roots and 

 meal. Highland pasture he considers the best for dairy pur- 

 poses. Churns the cream the same day it is taken from the 

 milk ; is careful to extract all the butter milk, and salts it with 

 one and one-half pounds of good rock salt to twenty-five pounds 

 of butter, three-fourths of a pound of fine loaf sugar, and one 

 ounce of saltpetre. After this, lets it stand twenty-four hourS; 

 and then works it over again and puts it down in balls."
