The following is the statement of the products of Mr. Hen- 

 shaw's Durham cow, "Maggie," seven years old: — 



From June 10th to 19th, inclusive, 1850, she gave 555 lbs. of 

 milk, producing 21| lbs. of butter; from September 10th to 19th, 

 inclusive, 1850, she gave 409 lbs. of milk ; from June 10th to 

 19th, inclusive, 1851, she gave 656| lbs. of milk, which pro-
