Her feed in June was grass onl}'. In August and Sep- 

 tember, the pasture being dry, she had a pint of corn meal 

 and a quart of shorts twice a day. Taking the mean of the 

 two trials above for the average of the whole time, her yield 

 for three months was 34 4-10 pounds, or over 16 quarts a 

 day. G 1-2 quarts of lier milk will make a pound of butter. 

 Taking into consideration the quantity and quality of her 

 milk, on light feed, I offer " Snowdrop " for the premium 

 "for the best milch cow." 



I also offer for exhibition, her age preventing her from 

 competing for premium, my High Grade Jersey Cow, 

 "Sibyl," 13-1(3 Jersey, 3-16 Ayrshire, dropped March 

 16, 1850, now 15 1-2 years old. Her pedigree is as follows : 

 " Flora " was a very celebrated cow, her yield of milk and 

 butter being noted in more than one Rej^ort of the Massa- 

 chusetts State Board of Agriculture.

IMajor — Flora , Typhoon — Sylph , 



Dick Swiveller, Gipsey, 



Sibyl.
