 Jersey Cows, 4 years old and upwards," my imjjorted Jersey 

 cows, "Diamond" and "Snowdrop," numbers 570 and 569 

 in the American Jersey Cattle Club Herd Register.

 dropped an ordinary calf. Her time of calving, September

 required by the Society, she being dry the last 10 days of 

 August. Her previous calf was born August 5, 1873, and 

 the last 10 days of that montli she gave on pasture feed alone 

 18 quarts of milk a day. The first 10 days of June, 1874,

 quarts of her milk will make a pound of butter. 



"Snowdrop" will be 6 years old October 17 next. She
