MILCH COWS. 297 



Statement of Moses Newell. 



The subscriber enters for exhibition only, one starred cow, 

 eleven years old, a descendant of the bull Admiral, presented 

 by Admiral Coffin, to the State Society. She has not been dry 

 for four years, has had a calf each year in the summer, is now 

 nearly dry, and will calve in about six weeks. 



The cow with the most white is six years old — dropped her 

 last calf in February last — is from a white Durham cow and an 

 Ay^'sliire bull, imported by Mr. Cushing, of Watertown. She 

 resembles the bull in form, color, and general appearance. 



The two cows above described, have frequently given more 

 than twenty pounds of milk at a milking. 



The one-horned cow, is Ayrshire, five years old, is now dry, 

 will calve probably in three or four weeks, is from the Cushing 

 importation; gives rich milk, and about fifteen pounds at a 

 milking, in good grass feed. I have presented them merely to 

 show the varieties of stock. My experience shows that there 

 are good milkers among all the varieties. 



I also present, for exhibition only, two calves, one with white 

 spot, from a Durham cow, now lame, or she would be here ; 

 came the 27th of June last — has had the milk of his mother 

 only. The other from the red cow, part Durham, dropped the 

 Sd of July last — fed like the other. They are from a bull 

 dropped by the starred cow. I design to raise them for a pair 

 of oxen.
