&quot; It will be perceived that there is a loss on cows in this year. 

 This always happens, more or less. A large quantity of milk is 

 required for the training establishment,* and when a cow goes 

 nearly dry, she must be sold, and another in milk bought in her 

 place, at a higher price than that at which the former is sold. 

 We have it in contemplation to take another farm, of larger di 

 mensions, in addition to the present one, and of an inferior and 

 different quality of land, in order to show a specimen of the 

 improvement and management of that kind of soil ; and in this 

 case the loss on cattle will be obviated, as the second will be 

 more adapted to the raising of young stock and sheep.&quot;

* This is the establishment of the Model School, where young men are trained as 

 schoolmasters at the expense of the government. This place is supplied with 

 milk and other tilings from the farm, by purchase.
