[The grain account for the several months, as given above,

On account of limited pasturage grain has been fed to econ- 

 omize grass. 



The effect of an omission of the grain for a limited period 

 s seen in the following : — 



Six days, July 3 to 8 inclusive, grain fed 11 cows ; milk, 

 1,649 pounds. 



Six days, July 9 to 14 inclusive, no grain fed, 11 cows ; 

 milk, 1,580 pounds. 



Six days, July 15 to 20, inclusive, grain fed 11 cows ; milk, 

 1,613 pounds. 



The influence of an omission of the grain for the season

 of milk and condition of the animals. 



All the cows but one are imported animals, and have their

 1870 and 1871.

 breed, and especially Jerseys. The Jersey breed is very
