No. 4.] DAIRYING. 73 



the time. She came in last March. She gives twenty-two 

 pounds of milk to-day, and is due to calve in two months. 

 That cow was very poor at first. I paid $22.50 for her in 

 Yerraont. After I got her home, she looked so bad that I 

 wanted to sell her for $30. I kept her three weeks, and she 

 gave sixteen quarts of milk a day ; and I have kept her ever 

 since, and as long as she does as well as she is doing now I 

 shall continue to keep her. She is not thin, but is coarse, 

 and a plain-looking cow. You cannot always be sure what 

 you are going to get when you raise animals, and not 

 always when you buy. 



Mr. Damon. I sell all my milk. I think heifers two 

 years old will produce as much milk as the cows I can buy 

 on the market. I think you can raise cows that will give 

 better satisfaction than those you buy. 



The Chair. I wish to announce that the lecture to-mor- 

 row afternoon by Dr. Con well will be in the Methodist 

 church. This meeting stands adjourned to 7.30 this even- 

 ing, when the lecture will be delivered by Prof. William H. 

 Niles, on "Holland and its people." 



Adjourned.
