24i Ibg. of butter, and sold and used 3 pints per day, equal to 30 

 lbs. of butter ; 121 days of milk gives 192^2 lbs. of butter. This 

 cow, I suppose, has some Durham blood in her ; she is from Mr. Al- 

 bert Johnson's cow, which obtained a premium a few years since, 

 and was one year old when I purchased her. She is kind and gen- 

 tle. Her pasture was good ; 15 quarts of meal was given her during 

 the first 30 days.
