From the 1st to the 20th of June inclusive, she gave 311 

 quarts of milk, being a fraction over fifteen quarts and a pint 

 per day. One week in June her milk was kept separate, and 

 we made from it 1SJ lbs of good butter. 



Her keeping until the first of August, was good pasture only. 

 Through the month of August she was fed with green corn 

 fodder. From the first to the twentieth of September she had 

 good pasture only. She has never had meal ; has always been 

 kept well in the winter season on English hay, corn fodder, and 

 some kind of roots. She has always been perfectly healthy, and 

 has been owned by me six years.
