24 ON MILCH COWS AND HEIFERS. 



JOHN STONE'S STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on Milch Cows and Heifers : 



Gentlemen, — I offer for your examination my starred cow of na- 

 tive breed nine years old ; she calved the 9th day of May, and the 

 calf was sold on the 29th, of the same month. 



From the 1st to the 20th of June inclusive, she gave 311 quarts 



of milk, being a fraction over fifteen quarts and a pint per day. One 



week in June her milk was kept separate, and we made from it, 



13] lbs of good butter. 



Her keeping until the 1st of August, was good pasture only. 



Through the month of August she was fed with green corn-fodder. 



From the first to the twentieth of September she had good pasture 



only. 



She has never had meal; has always been kept well in the winter 

 season on English hay, corn fodder, and some kind of roots. 



She has always been perfectly healthy, and has been owned by me 

 six years.
