Butter of best quality was occasionally made from the milk. 

 I have taken care of this cow myself, and know the above 

 statements are correct. 



Statement of H. C. Haskell of Deerfield. 

 My grade Jersey cow, "Beauty," twelve years old, the 

 second week after calviug, produced twelve and three-fourths 

 pounds of butter, and six months after produced twelve and 

 a quarter pounds. The following is a copy of my record of 

 sales of butter aside from all used in family, for a period of 

 seven years, each cow counted as one in the herd, whether 

 she be dry or in milk, and part of which were heifers which 

 came in at two years of age : — 



The above were all thoroughbred and grade Jerseys. Have 

 not kept a record for the last four years, but think that the 

 amount of butter is fully equal to the foregoing years, but the 

 cash receipts have fallen somewhat.
