and one-half Ayrshire, nine years old. She dropped her calf 

 Sept. 6, 1879, and is due to calve again Oct. 8, 1880. I fed 

 her the same as the red cow, only the first of November I 

 gave her 2 qts. of meal and 2 qts. of shorts, scalded, twice a 

 day and fed cold, with all the English hay she would eat ; 

 watered her twice a day, if very cold adding hot water enough 

 to take the chill off". 



Her yield for the month of November was 705 qts. of milk, 

 an average of 23 1-4 qts. a day ; 10 qts. of her milk make 18 

 ounces of butter. She has now been dry for two months, as I 

 wanted to give her a rest. 



For the first 10 days in November she gave 235| quarts, an 

 average of 23| qts. a day ; for the last ten days in November 

 she gave 236^ qts. a day, an average of 23 2-5 qts. a day. 



STATEMENT OP GEORGE K. PERVEAR. 



To the Commiitee on Milch Cows: — 



Gentlemen, — I place on exhibition a part of my Jersey 

 stock, say one Milch cow, " Mayflower," calved May 1, 1872 ; 

 Dam Pansy, 3d, No. 718; Sire Sherman, R. S. Rogers' bull ; 

 American Jersey Herd Book, Vol. III. Also, one yearling 

 heifer, calved April 1st, 1879. Dam, Mayflower, Sire, Cham- 

 pion, No 1109, American Club Register. Also, one calf, 

 calved April 4th, 1880. The Dam and Sire same as the year- 

 ling, "• Champion," owned by Mr. Henry Saltonstall of West 

 Peabody. * 



I desire to call your attention to the size of these animals for 

 Jersey Stock. The cow gives a large quantity of milk of the 

 Uest quality while the feed is good ; through June and July 

 she gave about 20 qts. per day, which would make 12 lbs. of 

 butter per week.
