These are records of extraordinary yields of butter, made by Jersey 

 cows, under favorable conditions, and are above what can be expected 

 from a general herd during the entire year. The record of my own 

 herd of thirty cows, which I here submit, is far below any above 

 given, but I natter myself it will compare favorably with the yield of 

 any herd for the same length of time, the extraordinary cases of 

 special feeding or special animals being usually given for a day, a 

 week or a month, and not for the year from the full herd. The 

 record is for a herd of thirty cows for one year, commencing 1st of 

 January, 1879:
