Account op a Good Cow. 45 



escutcheon misled me as to her large yield. She now, as a five-year old, 

 has her fourth calf, which is a bull, and some two months old. 



" In giving above her yield, I gave also her feed. Such is her constitu- 

 tion and appetite that I think she would have eaten half as much more, 

 and in that way her yield might have been very much increased. It was 

 good enough as it was, particularly as there have been choice cows so 

 forced that, though the premium was won, the cow was lost. The winter 

 yield, on dry feed, of sixteen quarts is considered equivalent to eighteen 

 on grass."
