QUALITY OF THE MANURE. 



395 



The richer quality of the manure will probably com- 

 pensate for the extra labor, cooking, and attention 

 bestowed upon my cow. 



With a view of extending the comparison, I give par- 

 ticulars of the whole of my cows the weights of which 

 were registered on the 8th of October, and which were 

 still on hand, free from calf, and in a state admitting of 

 comparison. These were bought at a neighboring 

 market in but moderate condition, and were young, 

 having had two or three calves each. A cow in full con- 

 dition attains her maximum yield in a week or so after 

 calving ; whilst those in lower condition continue, by 

 my treatment, to increase their quantity up to about a 

 month after calving.
