Total, 3497 lbs. 



We have made 96 lbs. butter in three months, besides the milk 

 for the family of five persons, and supplying her calf two 

 months. Also sold her morning's mess four times. We have 

 made 31 lbs. butter from September 1st to the 25th. She has 

 not been dry for eighteen months. Her keeping has been poor 

 grass-feed and two quarts of shorts a day, since August 15th. 



Beverly, September 28th, 1847. 



Samuel King's Statement. 



I exhibit for premium my red cow, 7 years old. She was 

 reared by me from a native cow of superior qualities, which was 

 driven to a Durham short-horn. She gave last year, on ordinary 

 fall-keep, without any grain, from the time her calf was taken 

 from her in September to the first of December, (after which no 

 account was kept,) from thirteen to fourteen quarts of milk per 

 day. Her milk is of superior quality ; but as I sell it at this 

 season of the year, its properties for butter have not been tested. 

 She is perfectly gentle and orderly about fence, and will remain 

 quiet without company. 



Danvers, September 29th, 1847. 



John Stone's Statement. 



I offer, for examination, my starred cow of native breed, nine 

 years old ; she calved the 9th day of May, and the calf was sold 

 on the 29th of the same month.
