" May Flower" dropped " Kate" March 12, 1879. When 

 she was in full milk, she gave 20 quarts, and for an average of 

 six months, 16 quarts per day. 



May 25, she gave 37 lbs. of milk. 



7 days 240 pounds or 111.6 qts. milk, 



from which we made 11^ pounds of butter. 



She is now giving 10 quarts of very rich milk, per day. 



We know but little about making butter, and don't know as 

 the record she makes is a good one, but we do know that the 

 butter was first class. Perhaps persons knowing more about 

 making butter, would have made more pounds from the milk.
