P. S. Her milk yields butter of a superior quality, so much so 

 that the absence of it affects the quality of our whole dairy.

SAMUEL DANE'S STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on Milch Cows and Heifers : 



Gentlemen, — The cow which I enter for premium calved the 6 th 

 of September instant, and now gives from eight to ten quarts per 

 day over what the calf sucks. I purchased the cow of Mr. William 

 Black, of Danvers, who states that "the cow has been owned by him 

 the last four years, is perfectly kind and gentle, and gave fourteen 

 and fifteen quarts of milk per day the last summer. She makes first 

 rate butter, which is not over ten minutes in coming."

MANNING DODGE'S STATEMENT. 



To the Committee an Milch Cows and Heifers : 



Gentlemen, — I offer for premium one three year old heifer, which 

 is from a native cow and a Durham bull. She was calved May 31st, 

 1843, and brought a calf June 2d, 1846, which weighed twenty-six 

 lbs. per quarter when thirty-four days old. She has been kept in a 

 common pasture. When she first calved she gave sixteen quarts of 

 milk per day. She has now fallen away to twelve quarts per day, 

 owing to the shortness of feed. 



Yours respectfully, 



MANNING DODGE.
