110 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



Through forgetfulness of the alteration of the time for the fall 

 trial, the first five days of September had passed before the 

 trial required by the society. But it commenced on the morn- 

 ing of the 6th of Sept., and was continued for ten days with the 

 result below.

During the last trial, the yield from each milking was uni- 

 formly strained together, two quarts taken morning and night 

 for family use, and the balance set for churning. From this 

 balance there were two separate churnings, producing at the 

 first 4, and at the second 5 pounds each, of well-worked butter, 

 being, if all had been churned, 14 lbs. 10 oz., during ten days. 



The cow calved 27th of May, 1847, and the calf (which the 

 committee can judge of,) was weaned after having twice sucked, 

 and was fed, from that time till the last of July, solely on 

 skimmed milk, sweet or sour, as it might happen to be. Sub- 

 sequently, she has had rowen, corn-stalks, and roots. The cow 

 will calve in May next. 



The cow has run in a pasture all summer, with five, and for 

 a great part of the time six, other cows, having no extra feed of 

 any kind, till a few days before the second trial. During the 

 second trial, and subsequently, in addition to pasturage in the 

 same field, fed all summer; she has received, in the stable, at the 

 night milking, four quarts of wheat-shorts, daily, costing from 

 25 to 30 cents per bushel
