STATEMENT OF G. W. RUSSELL. 



I enter for premium one box of Butter of fifteen pounds, a 

 part of a churning made from my herd of eight Jersey Cows, 

 thorough-bred. 



My cows are tied in the stable and milked there every night the 

 year round, and the milk carried directly to the milk cellar under 

 the house, and strained into milk pans, about three quarts into 

 each pan. The milk is skimmed every morning and the cream 

 put into tin jars holding ten quarts and churned every second 

 day in summer and twice a week in winter, churned in Blanch- 

 ard's churn which takes from fifteen to fortv minutes, then the 

 butter is taken out and worked by hand until the buUern-ilk is 

 nearly worked out, and then salted down and allowed to stand un- 

 til next morning when it is finished by being worked over and 

 then stamped or moulded for market, use salt at the rate of four- 

 teen ounces to twenty pounds of butter that being about as salt 

 as my customers like it. Delivered to my customers once a 

 week the year round at fifty cents a pound.
