There were several other entries of very fine cows, which 

 the Committee would have been glad to have considered ; but 

 were obliged to pass them, as the owners had omitted to ac- 

 company their entries with a written statement, according to 

 the rules of the Society. We give below for future refer- 

 ence the rule referred to : 



"A written statement will be required of the age and breed of all 

 Milch Cows entered, and time they dropped their last calf, and when 

 they will next calve ; the kind, quantity, and quality of their food 

 . during the season ; and the weight or measure of their milk during 

 the evening and morning of each of the first ten days of June, "and 

 the last ten days of August." 



The Committee decided before entering upon their duties, 

 to keep strictly to this rule and take no verbal statements. 

 We need facts taken at the time and recorded, that we can 

 print. Many cows, kept year after year to no profit, would 

 be sent to the shambles if the owner could see an exact rec- 

 ord of their milk. 



John L. Shorey, for the Committee.
