John H. Robinson's Statement. 



I send you a statement of the product of milk from my 

 stock of cows, consisting, a part of the year, of twenty-one 

 head, and another part, of sixteen head ; five having been sold 

 in the course of the first nine months of the year, so that the 

 whole stock for the year would average nineteen head. 



I accordingly predicate my statement and estimate of milk, 

 as being the yield of nineteen head for one year, from Septem- 

 ber 1, 1850, to September 1, 1851.
