There was sold on the last day of January 22,000 quarts and upwards of new 

 milk, which averages 183 quarts per day; in the last month upwards of 200 quarts 

 per day, and may continue without much diminution for six weeks. I do expect 

 the quantity of milk will exceed the estimate. Something, however, depends upon 

 the state of the weather. I weighed some of the kohlrabi : I had white that weighed 

 seven pounds and a half, with little or no top ; and the purple five and a half. I 

 think they would average five pounds. 



I have now fulfilled to the best of my power the different statements connected 



with the experiment, and trust in the indulgence of your Lordship and the Board 



for any unintentional errors I may have committed. By delaying another year I 



might have made great improvements in my plan of feeding, and have produced a 



more flattering result. I am unwilling, however, to delay the communication. The 



profit is sufficient to encourage others, better qualified than I can pretend to be, 



to prosecute the plan from which so much benefit will accrue to the public at 



large. 



I remain, <&:c. &c.
