up to the time of her calvhig, was meadow hay only, after that Eng- 

 lish hay. Her calf was sold when three weeks and three days old ; 

 she then gave eleven quarts of milk per day. She went to pasture 

 May 19th, and had no hay afterwards, and was what good farmers 

 would call in very poor flesh. She was fed with one quart of corn 

 meal per day, ibr seven successive days only, after being turned to 

 pasture. The first fourteen days in June she produced 15 pounds 

 of butter, besides sufficient milk and cream for the use of a family of 

 five persons. The third week in June her milk measured 85 quarts, 

 given in seven successive days, and produced 10 pounds of butter, 

 churning from the cream. After that time no correct account was 

 kept of her milk or butter, until September 16th, when her milk was 

 again measured for seven successive days. It measured 64 quarts 

 and produced 7 1-2 pounds of butter, once worked over and salted, 

 her feed being a mowing field, that she had been in about two 

 months, containing about 3 1-2 acres.
