144 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



My cows are stabled in winter — fed at regular hours — let out 

 to water twice a day. In pleasant weather they are left out a 

 few hours in the sun. Their food is hay of ordinary quality, 

 until a short time before calving — from which time until they 

 go to pasture, they are furnished English hay.

Harvey Dodge's Statement. 



This cow Flora, was five years old the 1st day of July last, 

 one half Creampot and Durham — has had three calves, the last 

 of which is by her side. Her milk has always been sold. The 

 present calf took one half of her milk the first three months, 

 and the whole for the last three months. 



She gave 37 lbs. of milk per day from June to October, in 

 1849 and 1850. Was raised by myself, and has been kept 

 principally with nine others, without any kind of feed in sum- 

 mer but grass.

Sylvanus Sears^s Statement. 



My dairy is composed of nine cows, of 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8 

 and 9 years respectively. Six of them are of native breed, 

 two half Durham, one part Devon. Six were raised in Wor- 

 cester county, the rest in New Hampshire. 



The cow exhibited is six years old, raised in N. H. She 

 calved 1st June, was turned to pasture 15th May, and for about 

 the last six weeks has had 1 1-2 cwt. corn-fodder daily. In 

 the first nine days of June, she gave 495 1-2 lbs. milk, and 

 during the same time in Sept. she gave 243 1-2 lbs. milk. 



I sell all the milk from my cows, and from the time of turn- 

 ing to pasture till Sept., 10th, have sold about 18,000 quarts. 

 Have kept two swine.
