DAIRY STOCK. 93 



Her feed in June was grass only. In August and Sep- 

 tember, the pasture being dry, she had a pint of corn-nieal 

 and a quart of shorts twice a day. Taking the mean of the 

 two trials above for the average of the whole time, her yield 

 for three months was 34 j 4 ^ pounds, or over sixteen quarts a 

 day ; 6^ quarts of her milk will make a pound of butter. 

 Taking into consideration the quantity and quality of her 

 milk, on light feed, I ,oifer "Snowdrop" for the premium 

 "for the best milch cow." 



I also offer for exhibition, her age preventing her from com- 

 peting for premium, my high grade Jersey cow, "Sibyl," 

 }f Jersey, T 3 g- Ayrshire, dropped March 16, 1859, now 15 J- 

 years old. Her pedigree is as follows : "Flora" was a very 

 celebrated cow, her yield of milk and butter being noted in 

 more than one Report of the Secretary of the Massachusetts 

 State Board of Agriculture.
