 lbs. 6 oz. per day. The greatest quantity on any one day was 

 45 lbs., or 17h quarts. The weight of a quart of her milk is 

 2 lbs. 9 oz. The greatest quantity in one week was 288 lbs.

 milk gave 16 lbs. of butter in one week ; and she yielded on

 of Moultonborough and Canterbury, N. H., but whose intro- 

 duction I am not able to trace.
