HECTOR COFFIN'S STATEMENT. 



TO THE committee OF THE ESSEX AGRICULTURAL SOCIETy, 

 ON THE DAIRY. 



Gentlemen — 



I Oiler you a sample of Butter for premium, made 

 on Rock farm, of exceeding one hundred weight, in view of both 

 the premiums ofiered by the Essex Agricultural Society. 



That of the June make, is in two stone pots ; and that of 

 subsequent manufacture in a tub, consisting of balls stamped. 



The June butter was made from five Cows, all native breed, 

 viz : — 



Pink, 8 years old, calved March 20th, "| 

 Violet, 11 " " " " 28th, I 

 -Daisy, 12 " " " " 29th, )>Five Cows. 

 Strady, 12 " " " April 17th, | 

 Flora, 12 '' " " " 17th, J 

 All of which had their calves disposed of before the first of 

 June ; and on the 15th of June I added to their number a three 

 years old heifer just deprived of her first calf; which animal I 

 called Rose, in lieu of one by that name I sold in April. From 

 these five cows and heifer, within the prescribed limited time, 

 181 lbs. butter was made. The quantity made during the sea- 

 son thus far is near 500 lbs., and will be stated exactly at the 

 expiration of the six months after the 20th of Pvlay last. 

 To the five above cows we added, as above stated, heifer 

 Rose, 3 years old, calved in May, ^
