ABNER NEWHALL'S SATEMENT. 



To the Committee ou Milch Cows and Heifers : 



Gentlemen, — The cow which I offer for premium is eight years 

 old, she had her last calf December 1st, 1846, which was killed De- 

 cember 7th, 1846, — her time for another calf was the 8th, of De- 

 cember next, but by some accident she lost it in August. She has 

 given milk as follows : 



From December 7th, 1846 to the present time, I have kept an ac- 

 count of her milk by weighing night and morning, below is the result : 



96011 " or 

 S840.^ quarts of Milk. 



For keeping, during the winter, in addition to hay, I fed her with 

 carrots to the amount of twenty-five bushels, and I also gave her four 

 bags of shorts, during the Summer she has nothing but grass, and 

 rather short feed.
