IQQ WASHINGTON COUNTY SOCIETY. 



Several cows stated to be Gal ways (Galloways?) were shown by 

 William Low and Samuel Leighton. 



Premium on best milch cow, to John Andrews, for one which he 

 says has not been dry six months since she had her first calf in 

 1853. Calved in May, and gave in June and July 20 quarts daily, 

 and made 12 pounds butter per week. 



Wm. D. Dana obtained premium on a pure Jersey cow, of which 

 he says : 



" Sired by the Alderney bull here to-day, on a full blood Alder- 

 nay cow from an impoi-tation by Admiral Owen, bought by me at 

 two years old. Kept on straw and turnips throug-h the winter, and 

 in pasture in the summer. Made in three weeks after calving, 

 seven pounds of butter in seven days. The quantity is not remark- 

 able, but the quality as compared with the other butter made in 

 the same dairy at the same time, was vastly superior." 



First premium on butter was obtained by Mrs. Sarah E. Dana, 

 and from the milk of Jersey cows.
