STATEMENT OF MANNER OF KEEPING, &C. 



Summer Treatment. — From about the middle of May to 

 November 1st, milking begins at a quarter before 5 A. M., 

 and 6.30 P. M. The food during that time, is pasturing with 

 a feed of fodder corn or grass during the inonths of August, 

 September and October. 



Winter Treatment. — From November 1st to about the mid- 

 dle of May, milking begins at 5 A. M. and 5 P. M. After 

 milking in morning, each cow is given one feed of good hay ; 

 after that is eaten, 10 quarts of cut mangolds and turnips, or 

 mangolds alone. They are then carded, cleaned and bedded. 

 At 11 o'clock A. M. watering begins. At noon each cow 

 receives a foddering of corn fodder or poor hay ; at 4 P. M. 

 a foddering of good hay and 2 quarts of corn meal ; (the corn 

 is generally ground with the cob.) After the evening milk- 

 ing, the cows are bedded, and then left for the night. The 

 Committee will observe that my feed is not excessive ; but on 

 the other hand very moderate. My cows could be forced in- 

 to giving much more milk than is shown in the record. The 

 dry cows do not receive any grain. The amount of hay fed 

 per day, is from 25 to 30 lbs.
