Mr. Carleton furnished a minute statement of the daily pro- 

 ducts of his cow, for June and September, in quarts and pounds, 

 sustaining fully the high character of his cow for milk and 

 cream, and his own as an accurate observer ; but the directors 

 concluded that the aggregate would give to others the desired
