J^ASSIE. 



Total for the ten days, 212 pounds: average, 21 2-10 

 pounds per day. 



During most of the first ten days of September, Lassie was 

 on exhibition at tJie Xew England Fair at Lowell, and fell off, 

 somewhat, in her yield of milk, and no account was then kept. 

 She is now giving a little over 14 lbs. ^^er day. Her best 

 yield has been an average of 'Ih lbs. for two months time. 



Lassie won seeond premium at Xew England Fair, 1871. 



Lily Dale and Lassie have l)een fed alike since I OAvned 

 them, as follows : 



Last winter, she was fed on hay and roots ; on pleasant 

 days, only, was in the yard mos' of the time ; this summer 

 she has been in the field during the day, and at night, in the 

 barn or yard ; has been fed, night and morning, Avith either 

 wluter-rye, oats, or corn fodder, cut green. ^\y pasturage 

 amounts to little or nothing, at present. 



Believing that I have hereby complied with the require- 

 ments, I submit them to your judgment. 



I also enter my yearling Ayrshire Pleifer, "• Lady Essex,"' 

 1413. For age, etc., see printed pedigree (in Catalogue)
