under the same regulations as those on milch cows. The num- 

 ber offered was small, and but one competitor complied strictly 

 with the required conditions, and this was Stephen Karner, of 

 Egremont, to whom we award the first premium, one dollar. 

 This heifer calved May 23d, and during the first ten days of 

 June produced 271 pounds, ten ounces milk, making ten 

 pounds, six ounces of butter ; during the first ten days of July, 

 249 pounds milk, making ten pounds fourteen ounces of but- 

 ter ; during the first ten days of August, 229 pounds, ten ounces 

 milk, making ten pounds two ounces of butter; and during 

 the first ten days of September, 202 pounds milk, making nine 

 pounds six ounces of butter. Feed during the whole time, 

 grass only. 



A heifer was presented by Jerome Hollenbeck, of Egremont, 

 but accompanied his presentation with no statement of her pro- 

 duction as required, yet we would recommend an award to him 

 of a premium of five dollars. 



There were other heifers presented of decided merit, yet the 

 owners thereof were debarred from the reception of a premium 

 on their account, by having received a premium on other ani- 

 mals in the same division.
