STEPHEN DRIVER'S STATEMENT. 



My cow "Helen," entered for premium, is six years old, 

 and of native breed. I have owned her for more than two 

 years past. Last year she was dried March 3d and calved 

 March 28th. For some weeks after her calf was taken from 

 her, and before she went to pasture, she gave IS 1-2 quarts of 

 milk per day, by actual measurement, and in September fol- 

 lowing she averaged about 9 quarts per day. 



This present season she went dry four weeks, and calved 

 March 21st. The week before she Avent to pasture, she yield- 

 ed 9 lbs. 14 oz. of superior butter, besides 29 quarts of milk 

 sold and used in the family. Her feed was good ; English 

 hay, and six quarts of shorts per day. During the summer 

 she has run in the common pasture. She has given quite as 

 large a quantity of milk this year, as the last. Yesterday she 

 gave seven and a half quarts.

I enter for premium to-day, my 4 year old heifer, of Durham 

 and Ayrshire breed. She has had two calves. She dropped 

 her last, about the last of March. During the month of June 

 last, she gave, while running in a good pasture, an average of 

 16 quarts of milk per day. She has frequently given 17 and 

 18 quarts per day, and the quality is quite equal to the quantity.
