STOCK ACCOUNT. 



This account is more properly the account of the cattle upon the farm. The 

 cattle comprised at the time of inventory, Aug. 31, 1878, the following breeds, 

 viz. : 



8horfhorns, 2G ; at the head of which herd stands Kufus 18375 ; also the 

 young bull Gen. Custer 2'JG18, lately from the herd of Avery & Murphy of 

 Port Huron. 



Devons, S; at the head of which herd stands Batavia 159. 

 Ayrshires, 13 ; at the head of whicli herd stands Horace 1G30. 

 Jerseys, 2 ; the bull Saginaw 2044 and cow Irene 2d. 

 Galloways, 7 ; at the head of which herd stands Johnny Scott. 

 Hereford s, 1 ; Cora 3d. 



Grades and cross-bred animals, 4 ; making a total of Gl animals, representing 

 G distinct breeds, besides the grades and cross-bred animals. I hope to be able 

 to add a pair of pure-bred Holsteins to our herd at no distant day, as they rep- 

 resent one of the dairy breeds and bid fair to become quite an acquisition to 

 our State. The herd is in line condition, every cow but one having bred during 

 the year. Milk has been sold to the boarding hall at 1^ cts. a pound. The 

 sales of breeding stock from the various breeds have not quite equaled those of 

 the year previous. 

 The summary of the account is as follows :

Througli the lessening of the inventory, largely, our stock account shows 

 quite a large loss, but we have jjractically but 11 months represented in receipts 

 and have the full cost of the keep for the year except the labor. The cattle 

 while in pasture are not charged Avith pasturage.
