Statement of Benjamin P. Ware. 



I offer for premium my thorough-bred Ayrshire cow, 

 "Rose 2d," born March 5, 1870, whose dam was "Rose," 

 graudam "Marjary," imported by Joseph S. Cabot. "Mar- 

 jary " was bred by John Kilgore, of Notmine, Scotland,

 was "Jamie," bred by Alex. Arnold, of Aucheneunie ; the 

 sire of " Rose 2d " was bred by E. S. Poor, from a bull im-

 The weight of her milk for the last ten days of August was 

 three hundred and ninety-nine pounds. 



Allowing 2.15 pounds as the standard weight of one quart 

 of milk, the yield would equal 185.12 quarts, averaging 18.5 

 quarts per day. Her feed has been as much green corn-fod- 

 der as she would eat in the forenoon, and turned out to pasture 

 and water in the afternoon, with two quarts of shorts and one 

 quart of meal morning and evening. Her milk, by the lac- 

 tometer, shows eleven and one-half per cent, cream.
