The above cows were turned to pasture May 12 ; the quality 

 of pasturing poor. No other food furnished until the first of 

 August, since which time corn-fodder has been fed to them. 



The dairy of cows which I offer for premium and inspection 

 was taken from my herd of cows, consisting of thirty, and the 

 only ones I could offer that would come within the rules re- 

 quired, as to their time of being in milk ; consequently, I have 

 had no chance to select. A number of them are only three 

 years old, as you will perceive by the statement. They have 

 been kept the whole season in a short, dry pasture, with no 

 extra feed, except some corn-fodder the latter part of the 

 season. 



My statement of quantity of milk falls considerably short of 

 what they have given in years past, such of them as have been 

 in milk before this season, owing to the very short feed which 

 I have had.
