J. J. DIXWELL'S CERTIFICATE. 



I send my Jersey Cow for exhibition. As I keep her for family 

 use, I have very little record of her yield. Her excellence is in the 

 quality, not the quantity, for she is not a large milker. During the 

 last week in May, and the first week in June, her milk was set aside 

 ■for butter, with this result: — 



1st week, 76 3-4 quarts of milk, from which was made 12 lbs. butter. 

 2d " 72 1-2 " " " " 13 1-2 lbs. "
