STATEMENT OF BENJ. P. WARE. 



I offer for premium my herd of six cows. They were fed 

 through the winter with English hay and rowen with one-third 

 bushel roots each per day. They all gave milk to within two or 

 three weeks of calving, and calved between March ist and June 

 2d. Their feed during the summer has been pasture, and since 

 July 1st corn fodder in the barn in the forenoon, and in the af- 

 ternoon turned into a small pasture with water and a feed of two 

 quarts shorts and one quart Indian meal each morning and 

 evening. Since the first of June they have averaged a little over 

 thirteen quarts of milk per day each, ascertained by weighing 

 their milk at different times and averaging it.
