ON THE DAIRY 



From the 1st of June to the 9th of July, I made tliree hun- 

 dred pounds of butter. 



I have made this season eight hundred and forty eight pounds 

 of butter, and five hundred and fifty pounds of cheese. I put 

 down two hundred pounds in June and July, which I should 

 have exhibited, had it not been that the scarcity of butter the 

 month past, induced me to part with it. 



We have had fourteen persons in the family through the sea- 

 son, who have used milk freely ; and we have sold milk to four 

 other families. Our cows have had no feed, but common pas- 

 turing. I annex a specification of the times and quantities in 

 which the butter was made, which is attested to, by those who 

 assisted in making it. MARGARET WARDWELL.
