Nos. 2 and 3 of these cows I present for the premium offered 

 by the society for the two best cows, raised by the competitor, 

 and kept with a stock of not less than four. Their age is 5 

 years, and their breed is three-fourths Ayrshire, McGregor stock, 

 have been kept with a herd of eight cows, and on pasture feed 

 only ; they both calved the last week of March last, and will 

 calve again in March next. The quality of their last calves was 

 good. Usual time of milking, six o'clock, morning and evening. 

 I raise my calves, and sell a large portion of my milk, and 

 therefore cannot state the amount of butter, cheese, or veal 

 made by the dairy. I have kept this season three large swine, 

 which have been fed on skimmed milk and the slops from the 

 house. These two cows were dried the middle of January last.
