REPORT OF DBS. WALLER AND CONNOR 



The total yield from the eight strippers was 12| pints, or an 

 average of 1^ pints per day. 



The food of the cows, so far as we saw, was oat-straw only. 



Mr. Mulford stated that after that morning he should not again 

 milk the strippers Fanny, Star, Andrew, Mooly, Spot, or Black, 

 until after calving. 



Samples of the milk from Fanny, Mooly, and the Black cow, all

 results were as follows :

 curdy matter mixed with fat globules. It also deposited a sedi- 

 ment. Respectfully submitted,
