JACOB OSGOOD'S STATEMENT. 



TO THE COMMITTEE ON THE DAIRY. 



Gentlemen, 



I submit to your examination a brief account of the 



butter and cheese we made the present year, from April 1st to 

 September 28th. 



Butter made in April 54 lbs. 



" in May 70 



" in June 158 



" in September 75 



357 lbs. 



The weight of new milk cheese made in July and Au- 

 gust, 610 lbs. 



The weight of four meal cheese made during the time of 

 making butter, 240 lbs. 



The process of ijiaking and preserving the butter and cheese 

 is the same as that in my former statement. 



The above quantity of butter and cheese was made from the 

 milk of ten cows, but on account of their coming in at different 

 times have not received the benefit of more than nine. The 

 greatest part of the time we calculate on having used the milk 

 of two cows for family use. There has been no alteration in 

 their winter or summer keeping. The cows are the same with 

 the addition of one year. 



Respectfully yours, 



JACOB OSGOOD. 



Andover, Sept. 2Sth, 1831
